Is it still a football game?

"The most balanced Fifa ever", "Play Beautiful".
Well, it was good while it lasted.
The game now seems different from the first release.
Now 80% of online matches (especially FUT) are against kids who just constantly use dribbling/skill moves all the time and abuse the OP longshots.
This game is turned into a circus simulator.
What about increasing the fatigue drain when using three skill moves in a row in the next patch?
I bought the game because the demo was perfect for me (I really enjoyed playing it with full manual controls, slow speed and legendary difficulty).
Since EA tends to change the game later in order to make the kids and noob happy, I will never buy another Fifa game. Maybe I'll do it when they change the game engine, but until then I won't miss it.
Now when I want to play a skill-based football game, I get Rocket League.
Seriously, there is more tactic, teamplay and fun in this game than Fifa, especially when playing against high rank opponents.
Oh, and there is no scripting.
Cheers.
PS: sorry for my English.

- complete loss of stamina for those using multiple skill moves in a row
- removing the longshot exploit by reducing the shot precision (only on assisted controls)
- removing legacy defending
- better goalkeeper positioning during free kicks
- better player switching when defending
This would be nice.
It's the same every year though, after a couple of months everyone learns what works best and abuse the **** out of it. Just need to learn how to deal with it.
But skill moves should work only when done at the right time and space in my opinion, cause at the moment are too op. "Confidence in defending" is gone.
Now in FUT, 3 oppontents out of 4 start rushing/dribbling/zigzaging even from the kick-off towards my box. Boring and annoying.
It seems to play against a bunch of clowns instead of a football team.
I bought fifa 16 because I wanted to play football, I already own a pinball game.
The best football matches I played were on H2H season with manual controls, definitely better played and less scripted than FUT.
Agree Rocket League is a better game
Agree stamina penalty could be improved
Should depend on the skill, if you're doing ball rolls or a step over then it would barely phase a professional footballer but if you're spamming roulettes, rainbows or McGeady spins or tricks that would take some effort then you should get tired out.
Not just tired but doing skill moves in a row, should increase the error factor. I'm no professional but rarely can I complete 5 to six skill moves successively without mistake. So if a professional player is dribbling 5 professional defenders and is under pressure then surely by the fourth move there is enough error to concede possession, ya know?
That's something people have been asking for EA to add for years, the ability for any player to do any skill move but their skill level factors the success rate so if you try to do a Rainbow with John Terry, its going to fail while trying it with Neymar will see it come off.
But again, should come down to the skill and the combination, I can do a lot of McGeady spins one after the other in real life, those are easy for me but if I tried to do more than one rainbow I would end up on the ground face first in the mud trying to rainbow a ball as its coming down from another rainbow, I assume it would be the same for a lot of others players in real life, trying something like a step over or turn would be easy but trying two rainbows consecutively would see them fail, but in Fifa you can rainbow from one goal to the other.
For John terry, he will just stand still and not attempt the move in the game. But yeh they need to sort it out. I can however do consecutive rainbows in real life lol.
I guess we just want more balance so that it's not abusive!
Couldn't agree more. Add me for some manual matches if you're on xbox one.
talk about skill moves
In video games , everyone or every players can do skill moves
nothing difficult , just take some time to master them
but for real football , on the pitch , you can try follow Ronaldo ,
Messi or Neymar skill moves
if you cant , you train another ten years also you cant
heehee
Yup, more balance would be fantastic I like to do skills and some just feel broken and you can spam them out to move up the pitch.
And you need to show me how to do consecutive rainbows, doing one is my limit
You and Sir MartY have caught the point: some kind of penalty for those spamming skill moves like a clown.
I'm sorry bro.
I have PC
No, it isn't.
Local multiplayer is another story.
#dribblepigs and #longshotswines in almost all the matches.
Furthemore the high-pressure problem isn't gone.
Come on Aaron McHardy, bring the balance back for this tennis game, please.
