Do people on this forum actually watch football?
If you've watched or played football at any level you'll know that players don't win every tackle, even perfectly timed ones.
Teams can have 20 shots and lose to a team that has 1 shot.
Teams can lose a game with 60% possession.
Individual mistakes happen in every area of the pitch by every player.
All you see is thread after thread talking about how the game is broken due to tackling/defending and passing. If every tackle came off, every pass was made with inch perfect accuracy, if you win every game you dominate then its further away from a "football simulator".
If you lose out on perfectly timed tackles then your opponent will too. These bits of bad luck even themselves out over the games you play. Yes it's frustrating but at this point its hard to work out what it is people want!
The game isn't perfect by any means but its the closest it's been to real football in years

Yeah I agree with this, like I said there are definitely issues with the game! Think I've scored one corner in 50 games which is far from realistic
Yes it’s a good start to the game in my opinion and just needs a few tweaks here and there and will be great. However you just know they going to patch the hell out of it due to all complaints and ruin it. Personally I never bothered with relying on ai defending in 19 but I get the feeling all complaints about defending are from the people who did.
Bugs me to hear the moans.
The headers I agree with. Some simple headers from 5 yards I'm missing and haven't scored one yet. One was saved from 2 yards! That looks like a glitch as it must be an error but by the same token some variation... miss the 2 yard header at times but the odd cracker powered home would be good too.
I didn't say it WAS real football but its the closest its been to it in years. My point is people are complaining about aspects of the game which are realistic
Yes teams can have those stats and lose,
The difference is, having those stats and losing in real life is a rare occurrence. And maybe only 2 or 1 if those games you'd lose.
In FIFA you can have those stats every game and lose 50%; that's the problem.
... they won the title that year!
We shouldn’t have won the first leg versus Liverpool, but we did because Liverpool wasted chances.
We went to Anfield with the same gameplan that should’ve cost us the first game. We lost fair and square, and I never felt so humiliated, I never felt so much shame.
It’s like some games in Fifa, it just wakes emotions in you, best left untouched.
try playing city twice a year as a west ham fan, then you'll know shame
I don’t think I’ve ever read a thread where people have complained that their players aren’t making enough mistakes, can’t remember threads of people moaning that when they make a tackle they come away with the ball too often.
Damn, that cracked me up good
At least you’re fifth in the table
You won’t see those threads because people only create threads moaning about the game, usually when they’ve lost. It can never possibly be their fault either because they should be a pro and it’s only because of EA that they aren’t! Then they go on a win streak and it’s radio silence.
People only complain when they are losing.
dear crouchy, score a corner with mertins head
😂 I may create a “Dear Knowlesdinho” thread this year.
Thanks for the threat mate , spot on 👍 . I think that most complaints this year are coming from people who suddenly found themselves needing to go through the trouble of defending instead of relying totally on AI 😏
The point being they are anomalies and if they can't be included as such they shouldn't be included at all, you can't make the success of the tackle button completely random because occasionally a tackle in real life isn't perfect, if you read your opponent and time a tackle you should come away with the ball every time without having to worry about 'surprise mechanics'.
People misplace passes in real football and miss open goals, goalkeepers let pass backs go through their legs but you cannot have the game determining when these things occur, we already have people playing for rebounds with shots from stupid angles.
There has to be a balance between realistic physics, and rewarding correct decisions. If I tackle and make contact with the ball, I have made the right input, while my opponent has made the wrong one. I deserve to be rewarded for that. You can't apply all the realism of football into a video game, any more than you can simulate a wartime experience in Call of duty.
Nothing should happen in this game that couldn't have been avoided if I'd pressed the right buttons. That's what video games have to be about.
If you want the game to play out irrespective of your button inputs, just put down the controller and watch the cpu play against itself.
If you’re a goalkeeper you control the action with your hands
Such a cop out response trying to mask over the problems of the game. And this is coming from someone who likes the game, it's just (as it is every year) there's small adjustments that need to be made
Fut especially in its competitive modes is supposed to be a skillbased game. Realism needs to get sacrificed for consistency.
You are utterly deluded if you want the most realistic experience in wl, rivals and competitive play.
Compeltely agree, its a 12 minute game afterall. The finishing before the early release last tuesday was great and now after that patch its complete crap. I missed two wide open downward headers last game with Abraham and sancho that get scored 100% of the time in real life...
But it's just happening too frequently, and in situations that clearly the defender should win.
Simple fact is that between balls going back to attackers, rebound goals, defensive AI ❤️❤️❤️❤️, player switching issues, the defending team is still getting punished when it shouldn't at way too high a frequency.
Exactly people tackle with crap players and expect the tackle to be like Maldini
Indeed anything can happen.
This is the best FIFA to date. 👍
