I'm afraid of the infamous first patch....
For as long as I can remember the first patch has changed tthat years fifa tremendously. That "first patch" is mainly based on the feedback of the masses gathered in the first few weeks
Now considering the voice of the ones complaining sound the loudest im afraid EA will succumb to the pressure and return FIFA to the arcady ping pong goalfest mess it was last year. And dumbify the passing again.
I'm so happy I don't have to deal with players turning around in circles on the 16 yard box waiting for an inch of space to do a 360 turn into a driven shot. Or crazy unrealistic turning slide tackle pinpoint passes. But I'm afraid all of this will return because of people being incapable of change and not willing to adapt.

And I don’t think I’m alone either. For the first time in as long as I can remember I’m having to wait minutes at a time for a player to connect to in the late evenings (on PC)... so it looks like many people have already stopped playing, less than a week after early access.
Not a good sign. So things will change I’m certain.
And then we all know what will happen next. Every year it's the same.
And then you have the other people who also believe they are expects and want to keep a game that many believe is broken the exact same.
The cycle continues.
Its nothing to do with adapting. The game is completely unbalanced.
The AI is overpowered, capable of mirroring player movements even when they're not controlled by the player. You can sit with a CM/DM and just run around and your AI will carry you.
Blocks and interceptions are too frequent, they are far too assisted, 40-50+ interceptions in a 12 minute game is not balanced at all, its like this because passing has been made so slow. I'm not saying ping pong passing is the solution but the ball moves so slow a player can literally run away from the ball, run back, run away again and still have time to position himself to intercept the pass.
Shooting is a mess, overhead kicks and volleys are so strong that they are actually far more consistent than 1v1s, even without timed finishing, you can bang them top bins all day long, but a 1v1 or long shot is harder because instead of lacing the ball or placing it out of the GK's reach, the forward side foots it straight down the middle.
Crosses are like homing missiles, headers are far too strong, players with 50 heading and no power header can bury headers top corner consistently
Dribbling is so sluggish online that players don't feel like their real life selves, Messi turns like a tugboat, Hazard has went from thiccboi to fatboy with this turn radius, its incredible easy to win the ball back especially with defending being so easy and attacking being completely nerfed.
There is load more, the catch-up mechanic when A player gets through, tackling someone 9 times for it to still rebound back to them, fouls being given for looking at someone while 2 foots from behind get waved on, players unable to trap a simple A pass a few feet away with 90+ ball control and more.
Its got nothing to do with adapting, these posts that say the same thing over and over about adapting and people just being bad are nonsense, people who love the game in its current state go on about how people" can't ping pong pass now "and how its a" real football game with a real skillgap" and how its "masterpiece" these posts repeat the same thing that people that dislike the game are just bad or played a certain way or don't like they can't exploit the game, these are stupid assumptions.
But if this place is going to be full of those type of posts, here's my own assumption, those people repeating the same thing over and over about skill gap, or real football game or people playing x style on FIFA 18 have benefited most from the game doing all the work for them and don't want it to change. I mean, if I could sit back, let the game defend for me then doing a few passes, run down the wing and cross for an easy overhead kick top bins, I'd not want it to change either.
The game has some good parts too but saying this game doesn't need patched or things tweaked is just crazy, opinion and all that but how can anyone seriously say the current state of this game with overpowered overhead kicks and side foot shots are fine.
You know, we can let the game go as it is for at least few months, but not patching game after 2 days opinion of angry kids who can't do 180 no look ping pong passes anymore
Here we go again. They disagree with you, so they must be “angry kids who can’t do 180 no look ping pong passes anymore”.
Nonsense.
If you want another FIFA, go play FIFA 18.
No.
You have already in this thread shown yourself to be more childish than any of the “angry kids” I’ve seen complaining about the game.
Jesus ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Christ. This has ruined 18. And the same idiots are trying to ruin 19. Go ahead. Idiots really don't learn from history.
People can have different opinions. Stop being abusive and childish.
Who is being abusive? How about you take a look at your posts everywhere? Fifa fanboy labelling?
How about trying to understand in real world the consequence of making any changes without thorough testing? first day patch or I quit blah blah blah? That is pure non-sense. Even if what you suggest to patch is correct (which about 50% I won't agree), the result of patching the game without testing and further balancing would make the game even worse. 18 was the best example. You are exactly the ones that ruined 18, now so called best Fifa ever eh?
When have I called someone a fifa fanboy?
Calling people idiots for disagreeing with you is abusive.
So the lesson should be; be chill, be patient, and let EA take its time to patch stuff that really matters, without shouting for stuff to be patched quickly.
I always hated having to relearn the game after the early patches
I placed in division 5 and lost like 7 out of 10.
Gone down to division 6 and I'm winning 7 out of 10.
When I've lost its felt like ❤️❤️❤️❤️.
I can now pass very well most the time and can ping pong it sometimes. Some passes are underhit still though.
Shooting isn't great and it's too inconsistent. Volleys equal goals, headers are generally the same, but it's difficult to get space otherwise, and dribbling is hard as pressing sprint means you'll get tackled.
Also overhead passes are always perfect. Must have seen 5 passes that were like prime zlatan perfectly finding the target
yesssssss......this
AI defending. No dribbling. Shooting bug. I think this Fifa has potential to be the greatest ever but needs some little fixing.
agree....but every time we get some ,,little fixing,, we get fifa 17 or 16 or 18 back....so no thanks....please no patch...
agree
So after all this, you agree the game needs a patch.
I’m dead.
good for you...
