Looking forward to this, ball and shot physics are something that should always be improved. For example, when I shoot from range now I can immediately tell if the ball is going to go in or not, that's kind of lame.
I'd like to see the goalkeepers have a bit more variation to them as well. The animations seem rather repetitive.
They also need to get rid of the stupid 'hidden morale' system or whatever you want to call it that more often than not ends up deciding close games. It's terrible.
Lastly, I hope Ultimate Team doesn't take over any more of the game, it's so bad.
your getting "hidden morale" mixed up with "scripting"
hidden morale is a good part of the game where say you use real madrid all the time. as you well know football players can have "off" games where they just make more mistakes than usual, their touch lets them down more than usual, their shots are more in accurate as usual.
now say you use ronaldo one game and he is on fire and the next game he plays woeful, this is due to "hidden morale" it used to be visible in older fifa's it was in the team management section before the start of a game where you could see a player's "morale". it used to be coloured, green, yellow, black, orange and red iirc.
green meant they had high morale and would basically turn them into beast mode, yellow was slightly higher morale, black was normal and they would play normally, orange was low morale and red was basically zero morale where they would get pushed off the ball by a 5 year old.
obviously managers in real life cannot see the morale of a player like this before a match, so they took it out to add randomness in.
im pretty sure this randomness is not in ultimate team it's in the normal version of the game online and offline.
i think it's a good part of the game.
rubber band effect and "scripting" are hidden parts of the game which manipulate how player's play making them all either play like dog turd or like superhero's.
it's basically hidden morale which gets tweaked throughout the game in favour of the weaker player.
