Official EA SPORTS FC 24 Thread

Turned my series X on to make sure it works and loaded up fc 24 squad is lacking and it's even more hard work in fut champs but enjoyed some wins so far tonight with a much inferior squad to most. I'm getting very bored playing against 4321 it seems to be everyone's go to this year it's hard to beat if a good player knows how to use it correctly but having some success with 4231 against it

Most people have really good squads now

I’d recommend doing the euro/copa evolutions, you’d have 7/8 really good players after that

And now I’ve just got Rafael Leao from an 85x5 pack :O

What’s going on with my pack luck it’s been awful since I started playing this game!

EA normally up the pack weight around this time, in the hopes that people forget how bad it's been for the last 9 months and in turn, hoping it will make them want to purchase eafc 25.
 
I downloaded it because it was on game pass but got pretty bored with it. I used to enjoy jumping in for half an hour, playing a couple of games and then getting on with work after a break but it isn't the same these days.
 
Minor rant, just wanna make sure I'm not missing anything...

  • Trying to tackle/knock opponents off the ball is seemingly impossible on higher difficulties. My players just run into opponent, stay stuck on them and that's it, almost like running into a brick wall
  • Manual cursor selection is awful, always seems to select the player you want last
  • Tiny women characters are still able to save/head/shield the ball with ease (it is amusing watching the 99 pace animation on such tiny legs)
  • Headers always seem to have an inordinate amount of power
  • Acceleration on defending players seems stunted - they jog for the first few yards AND then sprint, by that time the attacker is already away
  • When jockeying, CPU just uses the close control thing to side step and sprints away
  • Slide tackling feels like you need a head start, it's SO slow between button press and actual tackle
  • Frequently get the long pass wrong, i.e. I want a 25 yarder and end up doing a cheeky little dink, even though the button's been held for a solid half a second

Using the legacy defending, I have no idea to defend successfully on higher difficulties. There's no tackle button (other than slide), it's just pressure and the pressure buttons only bring your players to where the opponent was, not is running to - so it's incredibly easy to run through my defence.

PES had its issues but not being able to standing tackle with legacy defending is maddening - it seems like they always try and reinvigorate defending and it's always arse.
 
So I wandered back onto UT after a bit of a break to see that they have literally ripped all of the content out of of the game now that their new cash-cow has been released! :rolleyes:

No new objectives, no special players in packs etc - this is why I refuse to buy FC25 as if you get it mainly for the Ultimate Team mode, you don't own the game, you are simply renting it for a season before being forced to buy the new one!

I mean would it have really killed them to at least left all the special cards in packs??

Yeah it's annoying the only thing you have to play for is the rivals/SB rewards and hope you pack the players you are missing like 99 VVD.

What I did when it got to season 10 was make my own themed teams like 90s legends, various nation and club teams, icons only, heroes only etc. That helps keep things a bit fresh but ultimately it's the sort of game mode that is heavily driven by content.

I'd intended to play it for longer but on a much more casual basis, but then my son got FC25 and I found it works on my account so I'm back in the cycle again.
