Yes it is handicapping, one player gets a massive advantage and the best player doesn't win.
Completely ruins fifa if you want to play competitively or just challenge yourself and renders the whole thing a pointless card collecting game as the card…
I agree to an extent. If he had looked like Peter Beardsley he wouldn't have got anywhere near as much attention and Real Madrid wouldn't have touched him. Great delivery of a ball and great engine but over rated due to the fanfare and that goal fro…
I quit FIFA 21 in November. I re installed FIFA 20 a couple of weeks ago and started playing again. I STILL got some awfully delayed/sluggish matches with a clear advantage to the opponent. Even with the server load non existent!? Combined with the …
I'm 37 and I quit this FIFA in November. I didn't buy FIFA 20 until April last year then got addicted again. It's nothing to do with age in my opinion, It's just as the FIFA editions have come along the more EA have added features (intended or a re…
Everyone who plays the game while enduring delay takes it seriously or is addicted to a degree or they wouldn't turn the game on in the first place as it's such a bad experience. I can't see how the game putting you at various degrees of disadvantag…
This guy is correct. I quit back in November. Playing a competitive game where you are at a constant unfair disadvantage is bad for your mental health.
This is a thing? The delay is so bad people don't want to play and waste time messing about on menus instead? May as well switch it off and do something better with your time completely.
I quit at the end of November due to having little input in to who won matches because of bad delay.
Really glad I quit. Being addicted to a game is one thing, but to one that doesn't even work properly is madness.
I'm UK also. I wasn't going to buy this FIFA after the delay was so bad in the last one. I already had EA access so played the 10 hours and I had no delay at all so I caved and bought it. First 2 weeks every single game was perfectly smooth and it w…
I quit a while ago too. I just come on here to watch the tragic addicts continue to get screwed by EA from every angle and continue moaning and playing. Sadly that's what I was a couple of months ago. The full on deniers are the worst. At least most…
I don't think the age of EA employees would be relevant anyway. Jimmy Greaves won't appeal to the vast majority of younger people who play the game as they may never have heard of him. Therefore he won't contribute to selling as many FIFA points as …
Making defending more manual would give people an opportunity to try other modes of scoring other than spamming massively AI influenced skill moves. I disagree, I think auto tackle is way overpowered and it's not manual enough.
Skillmoves should on…
Make defending more manual and nerf all skill moves = everything sorted = skill gap = less money for EA + everyone who can't defend and relies on skill moves crying.
Glad I quit FIFA.
It doesn't function. You are at a massive disadvantage to people who don't get delay. Your inputs don't register as they should and not at all in lots of Instances.
They can fix delay - they just don't want to. They could tell everyone that they don't care as long as they are still getting money. But we know that anyway.
There have been a couple of people on the forum who finish top 100 in the past few years who have said they don't/didnt get delay.
And there is minor delay and also not being able to turn with your defenders at all and the opposition getting free r…
I wouldn't mind if the players you slogged away for actually functioned but delay and sluggish gameplay makes them feel like bronzes anyway. So it renders the whole thing a waste of time. I would definitely recommend quitting.
How about if I just fantasise of winning and losing fairly? I would rather lose 100% of games fairly than how it is now where one team gets boosted by connection or exploits or overpowered unrealistic skill moves.
Being bad and losing at something a…
Funny how we all don't need to fix our connection for every other game that works perfectly but we do just for FIFA ....what a load of nonsense.
To the OP. EA have really bad servers and won't fix them and the gameplay is awfully unfair. You have …
This is a good point. I deleted my club too because I knew the addicted part of me would be tempted to get it again if they do a super cheap deal around TOTS time. It was actually hard to delete my club as I had 900k and a decent team and I was almo…
Quit on Saturday. Posted the game today after selling on eBay.
It gets close to 6pm and my mind still thinks 'ooh check the app'. And I'm messing on my phone and end up on these forums out of habit. It's sad how much mental space a game takes up. An…
