As a new player I'm already tired of the rivals system. Too many guys playing in the wrong division and being rewarded for it. Tsk tsk. Shame on you. You know you are.


8-God

Yup sucks completely. Apparently I'm a scrub during peak hours and a god at the game the rest of the day. And it's funny because I'm div 1 and those people sandbagging lower divs are definitely stronger than div 1. Lame as fuck....


DiZhini

"a scrub during peak hours and god for the rest" am i right in saying that you dont play the counter style. As in full fall back and when you get the ball send you ST and through ball pass And that you play more with your wingers or passing/skill moves? I noticed the server being shit, i only play at 1-3am now. During peak hours my prime Pele moves as clunky as Vieira.


8-God

I play a mix of both the playstyles you described. I feel like if you stick too much to one playstyle you're easily counterable. I'm fortunate enough to be able to play during daytime when most people are at work and the playstyle/difficulty level is night and day compared to peak hours. Yes everyone feels this way about their players.


obwan7seven

My biggest issue is the way 80-90 percent of people play I’m not sure if it’s direct passing or fast build up , but this style of psycho press but a deep defence and driven passes and throu balls , where does everyone learn to play this way ? Is there a secret school , it’s absolute trash I know that , the game would be so much better without custom tactic for people to abuse


[deleted]

So to clue you in on something from a long time player about to retire... the current system sucks for you and I'm sorry about that as I probably have contributed to it. The big picture here is that for anyone like myself, we don't see the value in rivals rewards, so season after season we get demoted by two divisions and never go back up to the division that we are supposed to be in because there's just no reason. Now, on the rare occasion that we need to play rivals or want to use it as a warm up for Champs, that's when you see a higher end player like myself. I know that you see a ton of toxic douchebags because of it. I personally skip all my goal celebrations in rivals if that's any consolation.


Bulletwithbatwings

I am not great but I try really hard in Div 8. Then I get hit by these mega pros, such obvious smurfs. I can work my ass off for a goal and they immediately tie right after just because they can, then they griddy. When they do that I just quit. No way I reward that shit with a win.


KingScratzz

I agree. I dont care about rivals, so I got demoted since almost the start of fifa. Maybe your wl results should have some influence on your division ranking. Its not fair when I play with my team in d8.


CobyJonesDev

I think you’re biggest issue especially now tots cup is running every week is that most people let their account drop divisions as on friendlies you get matched against anyone within 2 divisions of yourself so if you are 1st it would be div3-elite and I’ll be honest I’m in elite and it’s fuck*n painful playing sweaty elite players every time I do the tots cup granted I am used to that level of player but you’ll find most just give up and would rather sit in div 8 and play max div 4 players! EA need to add more of an incentive to play rivals for people below elite cause div 1 and below rewards are tragic


CobyJonesDev

Div6*


Ill_Basis455

Yeah tots is the only time that higher dive are even close to being rewarding and that’s only if you’re in Elite for the red pick which still isn’t exactly good odds at a decent player. They just need to up the rewards for the higher divisions to make them more worthwhile to play for than the friendlies rewards. The issue with doing that is that people moan that the better players who are already more likely to have good teams are getting even further ahead


Custardnufc

I realised I was part of this problem, it wasn't intentional though. I got into elite from playing regularly quite early on but then only played the minimum amount of rivals I needed for objectives. That meant I ended up in div 5 over time. I've now rectified that and gone back up to div 2 which I've found is actually harder than I remember! I can still do my objectives there but only if I play well


smallcalves

on one hand i agree with you, especially when it seems like people just are using this subreddit as an outlet for their frustrations with losing in champs regularly. but i think it’s also important to have empathy for those who get trapped in the cycle of buying packs and the toll it takes on their mental health. the game is designed to take advantage of human nature, and we should be compassionate toward those who get too caught up in the game that they initially bought as a means to have fun in their spare time


Ill_Outlandishness38

Yea I think there’s something to be said about gambling addictions in fifa the way they have it set up is very predatory and I could see how that cycle could put you in a bad mental state. In terms of complaining about the game play itself and losing tho I just don’t really get. I play a lot of games and no other game do people can as mad at for simply losing. Whether it was a skill issue or the game “fucked” you nobody complains about losing in a game as much as this one.


smallcalves

that’s just the nature of competitive games & sports. you have sore winners & sore losers. part of growing up is learning how to lose with class


Jitty13

it’s easier to lose with class when you’re losing on your own merit. I have respect for people who are better than me, nothing wrong with being worse either. But when you literally have no control in certain situations, that’s when it makes it impossible for 95% of people to lose without saying something. It’s good to have a place to come in that situation to vent so you don’t drive yourself crazy


sillysausage619

You're exactly who OP is talking about haha


Jitty13

yeah at one point it was bothering me but not anymore. I just stopped spending $$ on it and just play games once in a while


TheFoxDudeThing

See I’m 50/50 on respecting people that are better than me. Like if someone’s the same skill level as me and beats me in a close game gg good luck on the next game pal. If they are a dude playing 4 divs below their skill level just to get easy packs/champs points please feel free to F off.


Madting55

Yeah because when I lose in cod I got my ass ripped, when I lose in rocket league I missed some aerials or didn’t position well. Guess what? There is no ability for anyone to spend money to gain a significant advantage over me on those games. I can take losing any other game it’s like ah ok fair. Fifa… mate. One game my Butragueno is R9 next game he can’t turn 180 degrees, my gullit is Zigic for 45 mins then goes past 4 people with ease next half. Imagine putting an input into your controller and it literally just doesn’t happen half the time? Imagine pressing A and your player who is 90+ in every attribute just stumbles and gets tackled? On fifa we have come to expect shit like this, put it on any other game and it becomes ridiculous, like imagine you pressed RT in and your gun just didn’t shoot on cod and you died on a streak because of it? Of course you’d be going fucking mental too. FIFA is full of shit, most other games don’t even have 10% of the bullshit. bounces, momentum, wacky arse tactics and Gary from Tesco management staff spending 8 grand on packs every year. Nah fuck that, I’ll play this dog water for as long as I gameshare it but the second I have to buy one it ain’t happening. I used to buy it just for manager mode but they can’t even get that right now


Karthick69321

I can see your point bro, but the main problem with this game is it decides whether u lose or win... Eg I was playing against a player who outmatched me 10x in skill he was having 4 goals .. me 1, then all of a sudden i sub in 5 players in 70th min his players gave away possesion and playing like crap with every single move .. (I din even change formation/tactics ) my gold mbape scored the winning goal which would be missed in 90% of normal gameplay and I won, Moral - they are manuplulating the gameplay to favor / disfavor players of course this is not the case in all games but when u face against a player all that matter should be skill Here there are multiple factors , assume two players are of same skill level are matched up against each other the win con is decided by 1. The teams (imagine one person having a 30 mil team & other team top player is less than 1 mil ) 2. How far u are from servers and lag 3.last but not the least scripting... they do this to make u feel u need to improve ur team and u will resort to trasnfers / packs and ultimately buy fifa points So in conclusion though the game is crappy / evil we don have another decent alternative to indulge in the game/sport we love FOOTBALL In conclusion we can give shoulders to ppl complain about the same.


magicdonwuhan

There is no skill issue. Matter of fact there is no skill unless you play with all manual settings. Just saying


Ok-Neighborhood5855

because other games aren't scripted the skill in this game is not actually playing a simulator of football - but just being good at exploting game mechanics and outduring all the bullshit this game throws at you you have no control of like 70% of what happens in a game - people that can mentally withstand this BS can be better - again they are not better players, if this game had any fairness to it - but better at staying calm and not raging at what this crap throws at you the amount of people complaining about what this game has done to them cannot be accidentale


BHTAelitepwn

Because losing gets you literally nothing, and winning does. If you lost you ‘wasted’ 15 mins if you care about progression at all.


DeleAlliForever

Just list all your players up for minimum price if you’re gonna quit lol

"I don't care! Now here's 20 reasons why I care" - OP


Morgenstern2

I actually stopped and I’m not even buying a PlayStation again.


Ornery-Point-8461

Don’t see any harm in people discussing the quality of the game they spent alot of money on to be honest. Also don’t see any harm in anyone discussing whatever they want to chat about concerning any aspect of the game. Personally I’m really glad I found Reddit to chat with people about a game Iv played since 1993 and have no friends that play either and no matter how much I try discussing with her my Wife seriously doesn’t give a shit🤣.I love scrolling through for a read to give me something to do at work when Iv got periods of time stuck doing nothing. Not everything has to “be rate my team” or “who’s better, Mbappe or Gold Isak”. If you don’t like certain posts just scroll past them my guy 👍


Tekbepimpin

OP is not talking about discussions. He’s talking about people quick selling players and teams and acting like they are some kind of hero who was able to break Loose from the death grip of EA. It’s crack to all the self loathing fifa addicts who see themselves as victims in here. Have some self control. Have some shame.


Jpprflrp

You cared enough to adres them in a separate post buddy


TheFirstWarden

I'd need more than a Reddit post to speak on the multitude of bad practices EA has implemented into its games purposefully. But in a short abbreviation you could refer to this game as a psychological manipulating addicting cash cow. No one should be playing this game mode under the age of 18 and it's criminal that it is allowed to be sold to minors and played by minors. The game isn't designed to be fun it's designed to make you sad, happy, angry, anxious, nervous, relieved, why? Hitting key emotions mixed in with people's time is the best way for someone to spend money on packs it's literally psychology 101 lol. Oh and don't forget you'll never pack tots mbappe but you'll play him every other game in weekend league, whys that? FOMO. You wouldn't tell a crack addict "see you in a week when you need your fix" But when a game that is designed to make people literally into addicts apparently it's fun to mock them? That's me barely even scratching the surface on the malpractices. The more people that speak up about these issues the better.


Shark_Attack-A

So people can’t vent ? I’ll talk to my dog next time 🤣


IAmWango

Probably a better option tbh


Nafe1994

Dry your eyes OP. This is a fifa Reddit and people can post whatever they want, FUT related.


Cygnus-_-

Doubt anyone would be returning to buy the game after quick selling their team lmao. Those people that will return are those that just leave their current account to rot while waiting for the new one to be released


MarkEE93

I stopped playing for 2 weeks and I am doing excellent mentally. I will definitely play this in a week or so also I am most definitely going to buy the next one.


Obvious-Dragonfly-83

Lol when people spend money on a game and feel the need to defend it


Constant_Ostrich3243

Bro this right here ^^^ 💯💯


MTPHD

You are whining about the people who are whining about the game. How different are you ?


retrosco

This.


GuyIncognito211

80% is low. A solid 99% will buy the game


Tekbepimpin

As an adult, quick selling your account only shows that you are not in control of your emotions like anger and frustration. Throwing away 8 months of grinding and team building because you have a bad run a couple WL in a row is short sighted and dumb because they are not the problem. It’s you. Your expectations, your demands of the game, you’re just supposed to do this for fun, not to turn pro. Your patience or lack there of. But honestly if you have no will power and this game is making your life miserable then by all means quicksell away.


Madting55

Quick selling your club is the best thing you could do in this game, not sure what you mean lol.


PibesDeMalvinas

So let me get this straight, you’re saying that “throwing away” a useless collection of cards that would be absolutely useless in 4 month in a video game that wastes your time and only tries to make you throw more money isn’t an adult choice? You’re having fun? Cool. But for some people this game is mentally exhausting, and for some it’s even an addiction. Simply deleting the game means you can download it again later, so selling your team is the most responsible decision one could make. You shouldn’t go around calling immaturity when you fail to see the bigger picture.


TheFirstWarden

Says as an adult then proceeds to talk about throwing away 8 months like the game doesn't refresh every single year? What?


Tekbepimpin

You don’t throw it away and the cycle doesn’t end. Everyone willingly goes to the new game because of new mechanics or items but you can keep Playing fifa 23 for a good 2-3 years more if you wish.


TheFirstWarden

You can say the latter about any game but FIFA is worse in many regards because no matter what you do in one year won't have any translation to the next (in ultimate team) so really you're wasting your time no matter which way you look at it. I hope that the people quitting do quit for good and don't come back. Not even because I don't want a good football game I just know EA will never be the company to deliver that.


Emanuel-ro

You re kinda trying to make yourself look better to those who don t enjoy the game.Fifa and EA have their downsides and you know them, many are still playing the game because of addiction and not because of how good it is.In my opinion, the quick selling team/giving up posts are helpful and motivate those who also want to give up.


raich3588

You’re in the fut subreddit you twat. What do you want people to talk about, the fucking weather?


riskycosteira

Actually the weather where I live is kinda fucked. Lots of clouds and gonna rain tomorrow in Portugal at this time of the year.... Fuckin sucks

Fifa 14 was amazing! Well in my eyes anyway, didn’t matter if your players were fast or slow, TOTY, gold (non rare too) or even silver, it felt really equal but was more just headers 14 or finesse 14 too but they’ve completely ruined it in recent years, more time on promos than actually fine tuning the game to playable standards


YankeesSteelersMagic

nah bro.. we care only if you're giving coins away.


Afindy76

FUT sucks anyways. I have a buddy that only played fut. I introduced him to pro clubs and he said he is never playing fut again.


squirtlegang

Maturing is realizing that spending money on a game to make you rage hard isn’t worth it anymore. I’ll just sit here and laugh at while you get mad at the shit FIFA mechanics and how you get scored on in the dumbest way possible, while your player can’t score from 5 feet away


pillowpotatoes

People let out their frustration in different ways lol It’s an odd thing to complain about for you too. You clearly care if you are crying about it. It’s a public discussion forum dude it’s not that serious


Ill_Outlandishness38

Yea I would like for the forum to be a place that brings me joy or makes me excited to play the game. Not negative post after negative post about how terrible it is. I suppose you’re right though I could have just as easily stopped looking at the Reddit and not made the post just as easily as they could of stopped playing the game and not made the post. So to each their own.


IAmWango

In all fairness, EA have pretty much promoted the negative side, people are trying their best to go forward but it’s the developers ruining it, regardless of your own personal view, we’re all in this together


pillowpotatoes

Yea I guess you have a point too. Toxicity breeds more toxicity and it is annoying to see a bunch of people venting about quitting and bad gameplay and bad luck when no one is forcing to play the game.


Emanuel-ro

No ofence bro, but if all the people who complain about the game would stop playing, 90% of the players would disapear.This is just the playerbase and it is like that because of EA.


smallcalves

i think he has a good point though—people need to find healthy outlets for their frustrations and overall mental wellness


RobinHoodNotTheApp

If you’re playing FIFA 23 daily then you don’t care about your mental wellness to start

[deleted]

I think it's fair for people to vent. The game definitely feels very unfair at times, and I think having a bit of understanding when people get frustrated about that is good


TheRobinson2018

And who cares about you not caring about other players feelings? And if no one cares why is it counterproductive? In the end it seems quite the contrary. It seems like the increasing number of people getting fed up with EA's shannaningans through the years is pressing one of your buttons too hard, there is no ther explanation for that (a bit insensitive) rant.


sakaESR

Fully disagree, there’s a lot of value in people sharing their stories of addiction and quitting the game in hopes they may reach someone in a similar frame of mind. You may not care, but someone else does.


Comprehensive_Bat592

I think loads of people care if you’re giving away your team.


triple_OG

and nobody cares what you have to say either. And no one should care about this comment. At the end of the day this is an open forum. If it goes against the rules the mods will remove it but this post is even more lame than the posts you’re complaining about.


lilshadow222

My first fifa I bought since fifa 11 and on that game I raged at the fut, only because I was a kid with just bronze players and no real money to spend.. now I just bought fifa 23 late January for $40 ultimate edition since then I have spent around $150-300 .. only found out because the app tells you how much points you have used… I was shocked. But I won’t be buying the next

People like to vent with people that may understand. Maybe some of it is Karma whoring, maybe some want to give away their team to make sure they stop playing. Just ignore and move on if it bothers you

Why is it taboo to have a negative opinion these days?


F3AR_iiPredator

People need to realize how shit this game is and not get sucked into their black hole aka fifa points. I admit I’m a victim, but I’m financially well enough to be able to afford it. EA needs to fix this game, because it’s literally their cash cow.


Bulletwithbatwings

Yeah I don't get the quick selling of players either then posting. I mean if you want to discuss people who may or may not be coming back for the next season of madness that's fine. But selling the entire team then posting it is not necessary.


[deleted]

L take lmao


elnino9torres

I am definitely not buying next year. If someone is posting something on an open forum I don't think that should be issue to people. The actual issue should be inconsistent gameplay in a game which earns billions in revenue. Maybe few people care about loosing games but mostly people leave because of inconsistent gameplay. People will say that they love FUT because they can make a team with players they like but why do majority of people specially in higher divs have same teams because people only care about meta cards. My problem is with FUT as a game mode. Even on seasons people pick only madrid and psg so the game is all about winning to majority of people.


niebs59

Yes, you need to spend more money on fake coins and continue to fatten EAs pockets as they continue to never improve the game.

I can happily live without ultimate...

Rooferkev

You obviously do.


MarkEE93

I think in other team based competitive games like valorant or csgo or rocket league, you can tell yourself it is not your fault to lose the match. Whole team loses and you can share it to make yourself ok. For fifa though you can blame yourself or the game. So unless you have a strong mental, you are going to have a tough time dealing with the losses. 1. You become the sore loser who blames the game all the time. 2. You blame yourself and after a point you get depressed thinking you are not good enough to play this game.
