Cashed out and quit
Yesterday I was playing Rivals and it was all 1 depth, drop back, long ball, crossing. My opponents did not touch their defense, and were on me like hyena’s whenever I tried something.
Call me a timed finesse abuser, call me a crybaby, I don’t care. Before you could force these people out, to do something, now they laugh in your face while you try to play football and have fun. This isn’t fun, add a little button delay in there and it’s torture. Every year they ruin the game with their tweaks and tunes, but this patch takes the cake. I have never seen a company like this that puts so much effort and thought in empty promo’s and completely destroys its core, the gameplay.
Sold my team, cashed out, and gonna wait for things to get better because I felt like discarding the whole lot of them.

Exactly. This is disgrace. That’s not okay. That’s just disgrace.
I haven’t sold my team, but it’s the first time this year when I just can’t play anymore. I was waiting for this patch to fix 2 issues. Ai and finesse shots. One can’t be fixed without fixing other one. But they did it. They just showed how incometent they are. They just know nothing about balance.
Boring thing is as soon as you criticize the patch everybody jumps to the conclusion you were abusing finesse shots.
Somehow the patch affected the whole gameplay. Passing became random, reaction agility and acceleration have been tone down. Basics of the gameplay have changed for me, and thats what Im complaining against. I have no more fun building chances.
Plus opponent tactics are a real pain... 5 atb ptb... ai defending. Time to build a new gamemlay from scratch...
And now we have to wait q minimum of 15 days to see if they can "improve" this mess.
I did not want to say it because I think this game effects you mentally and you start feeling things that arent there but yes, felt like the whole gameplay was different.
I honestly don’t want to turn my Xbox on anymore after witnessing what I did last night.
There is no way this would have worked; you can't just abolish TF without addressing AI defending. TF was the COUNTER to passive handholding.
Honestly, I sucked at timed finesse from outside the box, I was good at using it inside the box, but the threat of it, you could see your opponent panic and select his defenders to try something. Now they just blatently do nothing because they know they are safe. And don’t get me started on the superman blocks and saves from 5 yards out, most goals in football are scored close to the goal yet it’s the toughest position to score from in fifa.
Played this random yesterday, he had messi and Suarez up front and all of the 90 mins he tried timed finesse shots, mainly 180 first time shots! I won 2-0 as he couldn’t quite get the fact that his finesse shots weren’t working!! Had a wee LOL at him
I am also on the verge of putting it all aside, these past few days I've been playing with the same commitment as when I watch "The Big Bang Theory", just to keep myself busy.
Believe me it has nothing to do with going insane, or conspiration thing. Previous patches haveng affected my playstyle at all (it sure is annoying to see opponents abuse new mechanics) but no change from my end. This time is a different story.
My playstyle is all about timing my acceleration right so I burn my opponent, finding sweet passing lanes and timing them right, making difference on the first touch with good ball control. Its all gone... I can clearly see that now some passes are eeither missed or intercepted where they werent in the past... first seconds when you control a player they feel like tanks... I aldo use to have dominant wingers, now I still make differences with them but its just different.
The combination of these three things make a game so unfair. It is unbelievable how big the difference is between two players in the same match in terms of smooth gameplay. And sometimes I am the one with smooth gameplay and I just know that my opponent is raging since his players turned into 2yo children.
done the same yesterday too
cashed out
can even finally afford r96 but even then the enthusiasm is dead
Absolutely no idea what to do
Game over man, game over.
EA better reverse this patch. If they keep working from it then defo game over lol.
Lol I knew you would be here too. I’m only still selling R94 then everything will be sold off.
I’m not even opening my rewards. They can just sit there. My enjoyment has been killed.
I’ve made a new untradable team and POTM Lucas moura is back in.
If anything this patch has re-energized me to play because i dont have to play those scrubs again.
preach
The way it impacted the rest of the gameplay? Id rather see those noobs scoring time finesse again, I had more fun when I owned the ball.
was looking at r94 and dinho last night there was even a fresh dinho but you know what CBA.
shame I have a club full of untradeables I can't sell
including
prime ballack,best, baresi potm hazard potm reus and many more
damn you know it's the end when can't even be bothered to open rewards
