Will FIFA ever be fun again?

Obviously some people like way the game has evolved. But there is a great deal of players who find this to be the most frustrating and stressful FIFA game to date. Every game seems to leave you feeling stressed and generally peed off, win or lose. The game is simply about who can break down the computer assisted defence more and / or abuse glitches the most.

Anyone think this is likely to change? Computer games are supposed to be fun. If it wasn't for the trading element I would have already jumped ship to Pro Evo.

  • I can't see it changing tbh, EA make too much money from it so they have no need too.

    Kind of my thoughts too. When I think back to the likes of FIFA 14 or 13, there may have been pace or heading abuse but at least every game was exciting. This physical and defensive version of the game has just went way over the top in my opinion.

    If you are giving your money to play something that you don't enjoy, then I'm not sure what to call you

    Actually I play it less and less. I more trade than anything else on the game. But thanks for the constructive discussion.

    I feel like we'll get a very offensive orientated game next year where we'll be able to pass so well that defenders are useless :D

    Haha more than likely. All they need to do is reduce how assisted defence is and make PTB less affective though.

    It's become to competitive. Of course the try hards won't agree, they win at all costs anyways, but gamers like myself who play to have fun more than trying hard to win, it's boring.

    Now I enjoy the game in short spells, but I honestly get bored after 4 games. It's full of that we can't talk about, it's full of try hards and it's full of people abusing game mechanics.

    The fact they're not changing the gameplay in patch 2 is laughable as well. Likely to be my last fifa.

    Look at their sale numbers.

    You think 20 posts on the forum matter to them?

    They don't even have a Moderator that has an open line of communication between us and the dev's lol

    There's game breaking glitches on PS4 atm and nothing posted on the forums about it (unless it's in the PS4 only section)

    No I don't think it will make any difference at all. Where have I said it will? I'm simply asking peoples opinion on whether this is how the game will continue to evolve.

    Not quite sure what's got your back up so much. I did start my post saying t
    here are people who enjoy the game. You obviously do and that's great. But from reading on here and from playing friends, many people don't.

    This is exactly it. Perhaps it's cause I'm not exactly a young pup. But I switch on the Xbox for a few hours when I can for some fun and release. I don't really want to have to change my soaking T shirt and have to have a J to calm down afterwords lol.

    Im the same mate. I game for nothing else than fun. Given all the input delay on fifa 17, I might go see what fifa 16 is like still. Pace abuse will happen anyways, but at least that we can't speak about isn't as bad and there's no delay.

    Tbh the AI assisted defence is kind of frustrating.

    Long behind are the days when you actually had to control your defenders to not concede.

    Now it is completely opposite.

    They dont even need to change anything about PTB, if they limit the defending assistance, 95% of people will have absolutely no clue how to defend. In the last WL, I think I played only 2 people defending manually, which is ridiculous.

    It had a huge potential to be the best and most fun fifa up to date with new cards, SBCs and so on. But they killed it for us, gamers that play for fun with overcompetetivness and deletion of game modes like cups. It just forces most of the people to abuse mechanics.

    I played it offline. I've played a lot of fifa games, going back to the 90s. Been playing fut since 2011.

    This year's has a lot of promise, but there's so many things making it so boring.

    Yeah I really like the introduction of SBC. It has made he market way more unpredictable and given value to normally throwaway cards. Credit where it's due.

    This year is terrible for the casual player. Last year was better with the gold cup but this year people hardly even play single matches so if I want to test my cheap new team I have to play divisions.

    They shouldn't have 2 competitive game modes like Seasons and the WL (and qualifiers). One of them need to be removed and replaced with a cup mode with low rewards to attract less try-hard users. Maybe then more people will be able to enjoy this game.

    Yeah this is very true. I have no idea how anyone could play 40 games in a weekend. But then I guess I don't have the time or competitive nature as many. If I jammed 40 stressful online games into a cpl of days I really doubt I would ever play the game again.

    I do think the time has come to have two separate modes in FUT, one mode where all the tactics and custom tactics are removed and you just spam online single games on an even level, balanced with default tactics for all.

    Game is the best to date. just the style of play players use ruin it. Ptb counter attack is awful but play a style to counter it. I hated the old everything was pace chip throught ball op to abamayangadang. Was unplayable without sweat

    I agree with this in the main but I still want it as a competitive mode as well , actually I would prefer it as a competitive mode.

    Fifa 10 online ranked matched was so great. Fut was good also but it came later so in the start only mode was h2h.

    Did not have seasons back then so was ranking based and you got certain set of points by winning and lost points by losing getting matched up against equal opponents
