Is this the most toxic the game has ever been?

Or am I just not used to playing Xbox players?😂

Genuinely not had a game today where the opponent hasn’t done a toxic celebration after going ahead. Zero games where people just play the game and don’t do everything they can to wind you up.

It genuinely is a horrible experience atm and as far as I remember it’s never this bad.

    I agree cross play seems to be the issue. Never had this much toxic behaviour when it was just xbox.

    Finding that PlayStation players are horrible and sadly most of my games seem to be against PlayStation players.

    Probably just everyone 😂

    I do think is noticeably worse this year, celebrating, time wasting and constantly pausing the game to try and make u quit.

    It’s unbearable. It’s always the decent players too, so entitled that they think you’re wasting their time staying in the game.

    Change the settings to show your team when opponent scores

    This rarely happens on PC. Stop blocking the PC players. #pcplayerslivesmatter

    If there’s a new celebration that triggers people then I need to get it!
    I miss the ‘Dab’. Every arm movement was translated as ‘❤️❤️❤️❤️ You!’.

    Meh. Celebrations don't anger me. I personally think the word toxic gets thrown around way, way too much. Celebrations are a part of the game.

    It's not always easy, but we are in control of our own emotions. If I go
    Flying off the handle because someone celebrates a goal, I need to work on me lol.

    I used to rarely get messages from other Xbox players. Now I get one every game. How are you guys messaging players on a different console though???

    How can you tell what they're playing on? I've only seen a generic cross-play icon, which doesn't exactly tell you if you've matched a PC player or a XBox player (when I play from PS)

    It does show if someone is using mouse and keyboard. Under recently played on the way social menu (RT on Xbox, when in menus). They would likely be pc players.

    People trying to turn this into a console war when the answer is that the Fifa fanbase is just one of the most toxic in gaming in general and at the start of every new cycle there will be a lot of toxic kids playing, they'll get bored eventually when a new CoD comes out.

    Fifa is by far the most toxic.

    I think it catches so many people that don't play any other games is the reason it is so toxic as well.

    I've experienced a few people who will purposely use up all their pauses right at the end of the game because they are losing, pretty sad really.

    Fifa is the only game that I see people calling each other toxic for scoring a goal / winning a game... What's wrong with celebrating. The world has literally gone to ❤️❤️❤️❤️, care bears everywhere!!

    If you don't like seeing celebrations, turn the focus to your team. Still need to watch your keeper/defenders struggle with an existential crisis, but you don't see the celebration and perceived attempt to wind you up.

    If you feel that people on another platform are more toxic, turn off cross play.

    If you get abusive messages, turn them off.

    This all helps take the edge off if it's winding you up. 🙂
  • Yes its gone up from last year already!!! Toxic is just the normal, if your of a certain level of play or age it seems that toxicity is mandatory.

    Played a couple of the friendly first owener games, first guy scores first and messages "leave" then proceeds to try the passing round the back and constant skill move approach.

    Second game, messaged by opponent, saying hes playing golden goal, so quit, i mean what is this this year!!!!!

    Probably the least toxic for celebrations. You used to be able to run the whole pitch flappy arms dab shushing then watch 3 super long replays.

    Gg has probably made it the most toxic. Everyone is always quitting games. Then if you don’t quit you will get messages people will hold the ball all that nonesense. The worst is ea has accepted the community want it and added it as a mode at times.

    dont let it get to you just a celebration. i find people that celebrate need to get in your head to win they cant win wihtout playing mind games, usually aren't that good. so i just celebrate because they obviously take it as disrepect and they RQ for the most part

    Well everyone’s different, there’s other things that trigger people that don’t affect me, but s h i t y y celebrations after scoring a cheese goal just triggers me. I never celebrate, just get on with it and stop acting like a ❤️❤️❤️❤️
