Frostbite broken, no gameplay changes since 2018, only sliders
Heres my take. Open to disagreement.
There have been limited or no changes to the gameplay since fifa 18. Only changes to the sliders ahead of each launch. Making players and gameplay faster/slower/stronger/weaker/etc.
Frostbite engine doesnt work in gaming and the company lacks the time and ability to overhaul or replicate between releases. So they just mess around with the sliders and call it an updates. Im playing around with my sliders and all of a sudden I'm playing fifa 18 again.
Across all EA sports games that adopted frostbite, user and metacritic reviews have deteriorated year over year. Coincidence?
Someone tell me why I'm wrong.

A Metacritic user score of 1.1 (one of the lowest ever for a triple A game I believe) says it all.

To put that in perspective, WWE 2K20, a game everybody laughed at for the number of ridiculous glitches, currently has a higher score for users. Says a lot...
Passes not reaching players, cant turn, players weaker, slower, ball bouncing off players there's no change, more and more people seem to be getting it every year but its not to do with the Frostbite engine.
This is from 2015 Frostbite was released on fifa 2017 sound familiar.

Why the hell they don't fix this? its multiple posts everyday about it, many youtube videos, criticism from pro players even from pro footballers, bad reviews, etc etc! Its like they feed from bad reviews to screw us over, instead of fixing the damn game, why are they so stubborn?
We all see the game is rigged everybody talks about it, everyday, its clear as day, and they persist in it. Its madness. They are comfortable knowing that they have a monopoly of the "football game", they have the licenses, and they settle with that, with a mediocre gameplay instead of actually caring about the game and their costumers and giving a good experience. They say they look for feedback, but the feedback has been said over and over and over again and they ignore it, we just want a balanced consistent gameplay.
Tbh I don't really care too much if its faster, slower, pace-based, pass-based, dribble-based, etc. as long as its consistent every match and consistent amongst the two opposing players, not different every game, and almost always the game sided to one player. Players should be consistent with their stats, all the time. Every game seems like the sliders are randomized, and randomized differently to each player. why why why? to sell more packs? they don't need this gimickery to sell packs, people will still buy them because they want to build the Ultimate Team.
Hopefully what happened with Juventus will happen more so that they start losing customers and they start listening, we don't want fancy animations and leagues if the gameplay is rigged it will continue to give frustration and anger instead of a good gaming experience which should be what the are aiming for.
No way in hell I'm buying Fifa 21 and its a shame beacuse I really love football. The people that make the decisions at EA don't deserve the videogame monopoly of the "beautiful Game".
Was boring after a while. Double tap, goal, repeat. Too easy.
