I can affirm the bold is still in the aforementioned arid accompaniment it was if I larboard arena it aback in December, admitting the “gameplay improvements” EA accept claimed to accept made. Initially I was fed up buy FIFA 18 Coins of how torn the online approach is, and how stale the offline career approach is, so I absitively I was done with it until EA fix the bold - why they don't absolution a anchored bold in the aboriginal abode is aloft me.

I accept played ~20 matches (seeing as it's the WC and all) and every individual one of those 20 matches featured at atomic 6 goals. Abiding 4:3 wins are agitative but if they afresh appear it takes the fun out of it, and in actuality 90% of goals denticulate are absolute babble so even scoring a ambition is not enjoyable. I've benefited so abounding times from the action AI fucking up so badly, and I accept been done by the aforementioned thing.

Do we even allegation to altercate continued shots? Goalkeeper consistency? You can be assertive the absolute game, and your adversary can be as bad as possible, but if they've baffled the continued attempt afresh that is it - you lose.

So abounding times I've tried to avert the endure abnormal of a 7-6 win (because of advance 1-0 wins aren't accessible in this FIFA) abandoned to accept N'Golo Kante annual a 40 backyard announcement which my babysitter misses admitting it accepting beeline at him.

There is no antithesis amid continued shots and keepers which is the botheration - how abounding continued shots are in actuality wondergoals, and how abounding go about down the average third which for some acumen is absent by the keeper? It's aswell aching how late the keepers acknowledge to shots from distance, abandoned assuredly affective their physique at the endure second.

Next is arresting in general. Never has the AI been so stupid. Abrogation bare players in the box during chargeless bliss (something I've exploited assorted times - generally if it's a chargeless bang in a position breadth you accept a acceptable adventitious of scoring, you can just aces out an bare amateur in the box application X), the complete disability to accomplish a arresting header, and the position applesauce of blooming babies. If I columnist O to bright via header, I apprehend the brawl to go into touch, finer a bandy in.

How abounding times has this allowance advance been a affecting approval which goes beeline to the action alfresco the box, or, for some reason, goes aback out for a bend if a simple advance appear the bandy in band would be easier? Let's not even alpha talking about adverse advancing from corners, how the endure apostle about runs appear the opposition, or the disability of AI to clue a run.

All this agency the animal amateur has to do so abundant added to accomplish up for the AI applesauce - you accept to accomplish players run aback into arresting positions aback they won't track, you accept to adjure your added CB won't footfall advanced during a 2 v 2 adverse attack, and you accept to consistently about-face players to try and get anybody in a admirable order.

Honestly I could go on, but I've ranted enough. I've never had beneath fun on a FIFA than FIFA 18, never had added babble moments, and never apparent such repetitive gameplay outcomes. GK and arresting is riddled with clumsy players, bound mobility, and asinine AI accommodation making. The midfield has never mattered beneath (why try and play control football if a R1+Triangle through brawl appear a pacey amateur will accept you through on ambition 90% of the time?) - they are never in accordant abhorrent or arresting positions, they can't clue runs, and they can be bypassed easily. And throughout the team, there is so little chemistry.

A CM can canyon the brawl to addition CM, and instead of authoritative an overlapping run or alms themselves in a renewed position, they artlessly angle and watch while the accepted amateur is apprenticed by the opposition. On a adverse attack, players are either sprinting as fast as accessible abroad from the brawl or continuing still. How abounding times has control been absent because, as anon as you adjudge to canyon the ball, the accompaniment has approved to circuit in abaft and sprint, which agency that they accept to retrack appear the ball, which assured after-effects in the action dispatch in and demography the ball.

I abandoned won't be purchasing FIFA 19 because I cannot see EA aggravation on convalescent the bold (how abounding FIFA's did it yield for them to assuredly move the “you cannot abeyance the bold afterwards possession” from the centre of the screen, where it takes up accept the arresting pitch, to the, assuredly logical, top of the screen? At atomic 4. Continued shots accept been OP aback endure FIFA, and the GK applesauce has been a authentication of FIFA. Career approach hasn't had any cogent improvements aback its conception).

There is no antagonism either aback EA own all the licenses, so I can abandoned see FIFA accepting worse and worse. Abnormally aback it sells so able-bodied aback we don't in actuality accept an addition to a football bold breadth we can see our favourite players arena for our favourite aggregation in our favourite competitions.

Maybe I am absinthian I absent out on Div 1 appellation AGAIN due to endure bold bullshit, but these are thoughts I've had aback aboriginal arena FIFA 18 and I'm sad to see there has been no advance gameplay wise. If a aggregation that had accurate passion for football and advantageous admirers that put in accomplishment to become bigger (rather than acquirement their way to the top) took over the FIFA authorization maybe we'd see better, but with EA (and their microtransaction emphasis) FIFA will continue to be a money machine, breadth agreeable football, aggravating to become better, and acceptable arduous situations is impossible.

But hey, at atomic we can dab. Maybe they'll add the fortnite brawl to the next FIFA, and no agnosticism accomplish it a key allotment of their advertisements.
