New Team and Flawed Game
I thought i would try something new and seen previously about people using the tags Road to glory and building teams on rewards not points. Something I highly agree on as you are feeding the money hungry fat cats at EA who have no concerns regarding the average player. So I delete my team relishing the fact I can start gain try build a team go through the FUT experience gain and maybe get a bit more lucky this time.
Well as many probably know now deleting your team half way though doesn't actually delete all of the content. Still keep achievements and you don't get to choose a new team name which has confussed the hell out of me. So EA help gave me the option to reverting back but I decided to go with my guns and start a fresh building a team. What I should of not done was go straight into rivals with my basic players a loan star and not having players playing in the correct positions.
First game with my 65 rated team with 56 chemistry pits me up against a 94 rated 100 chemistry filled with rare players. Good Start for a possible beginner and new start to the game.. Well as you can imagine the score line was high but I did achieve a goal and got some valuable coins . But my main issue with the gaming experience was the lack of control of passing. this was power and direction especially when you get into the last third of the opponents end and well for my case direction and power was subject to a power beyond me. A tap would go far and a long hold would go really short! and then the direction. I never knew players could pass in the opposite direction the gamer is pushing! Well all these supposedly is because of my lack of chemistry. So is this the first admitting of being able to script/handicap players. It seems so to me but I wanted to test out and give the benefit of the doubt
The other 4 games were a nightmare being pitted against more powerful opponents from a much higher gamer level. Ea must think gamers don't talk to each other or something as 2 of the games were against div 3 players and in fifa 20 I never got higher then div 6. Good way to find your level Not
I got placed into Div 10 and with rewards from objectives and now being a Thursday I managed to get a few packs/players enough to build an all gold team but with not the best chemistry.. I saw a much improved passing control but player movement and fluidity was poor but was able to get a few results against players. Eventually I got a premier league basic team no superstars no special cards. My front 2 of Andy carroll and Mutu worked well pace and strength combined well but playing in Div 10 soon got me annoyed once again playing against players not at your level and quitting after 2-0 after 10 minutes on the clock. Soon I found out having 100 chemistry means noting to the earlier suggested passing/shooting issues mentioned before and now playing opponents where every pass was intercepted for about 10-15 minutes of the game and players standing around came a common issue. I mean stand around as I seem to get a few matches where a 1 man striker is free between 2 defenders Who or AI controlled who easily shoots first time and scores. in this period those 2 defenders haven't moved and your trying to cover with a full back.
Considering this game is coming towards its end life theres small aspects that have improved but overall the game is flawed. I had the legend Figo earned as a reward on seasons and My 33 pace striker controlled by an AI ran right next to my controlled FIGO and I had him running a pace (94) and he kept up and for some reason got in the way by running opposite him! Then you got the whole penelties which I am sure everyone has had a last ditch tackle timed perfectly which wins the ball only to be award a penalty then you go up the other end and you get taken out from behind no connection with the ball and its play on. Funny that fifa?
Also please respond to this post if you have had a player running in on goal and your shot is blocked from the defender behind the attacking player. Would love to know its just not me !
