The inconsistency is real.
Well I’ve had what I could only describe as an awful experience over the last 2/3 weeks when it comes to gameplay. I had tots neymar out of a pick and I tried to use him last few days and he was so bad, I couldn’t believe it that I had finally been given one of the top cards of the game and I couldn’t even make use of him, I was close to just discarding the entire club in hopes that I wouldn’t pick this game back up. Then I decided to have a game randomly tonight it must of been around 1am when I jumped on and I couldn’t believe how smooth, quick the gameplay was.
I have been struggling to defend, conceding a ridiculous amount of goals every game because I haven’t been able to cover through balls, my entire back line would never win a 1v1, a shoulder to shoulder, my midfield couldn’t press anyone on the ball even if I tried to go constant pressure it still wasn’t enough to get close. Players were static. Struggling to score goals as I couldn’t create many opportunities going forward, I’m not a skiller, I might do a scoop turn or fake shot in the box but even that was impossible to perform, I always felt like my opponent would win the ball back so easily, most of the times he didn’t even have that player selected its just as if my player would do a scoop turn right onto that player and lose possession. Players wouldn’t make runs, I’d spam L1 and that still didn’t work, get in behind instructions didn’t work. Passing was so bad It always went to the wrong person like the overlapping right back or it would go so slow and without power that it wouldn’t even reach my player, or I pass the ball and my player keeps on running away from the ball even though I’m directing him towards the ball...
Now after 1am (uk time) when I’m knackered, my eyes are burning looking at the screen like I said I’ve experienced the best game play in weeks. My players were quick to intercept passes, I could finally cover my opponents through balls, passes went exactly where I wanted them too, I can perform the odd scoop turn and fake shot with success, players were all making runs as according to my tactics and most of all my Neymar actually felt like a god, like it’s meant to its one of the best cards of the game.. I went from 1446 SR (lowest I’ve been all year) back up to 1867 in space of couple of hours.. I had so much fun I didn’t even want to jump off because I know when I jump back on tomorrow my overall experience will be completely different. When the game play is good I have no reason to complain about this game EA?
Why does it have to be like this? Does it mean all the back to back wins I’ve just had have been against someone suffering from the poor gameplay I’ve had the past few weeks? I just don’t get it.

You will soon learn it is all a game but it’s you being played. This game is bs one day and then somewhat not bs the next. Magical things can happen out of your human control, it feels like connection or internet or something that’s magnetically pulling your players into mistakes but then a switch clicks but you do nothing different or even you noted you’re dead tired but somehow you’re team is magical. Right now I’m on the flip side of your connection, no matter what I do with what players it is all mistakes. I’ll have to wait a day or two or change something to only go back to it to break the streak.
surely the mbas know 90% would rather have pink eye than grind through the ridiculously boring and tilted squad battles at world class or higher 100 chem…and they surely know the gaming experience is not just ping or packet loss, but their programming, design, engine, servers, etc etc…
This game is like learning how to surf in inconsistent waves, when you catch a wave your are captivated, but when you don’t or eat it or the wind picks up, you flail…and wonder when the right combination of wind, tide, sand, paddling positioning, balance is going to occur…
It reminds me of that football game (ISSS?) where you had faces that expressed the players state. Whit a sad face, the player played bad, with a big smile, he was godlike. This is similar without revealing the faces.
