Hope all are well! With the new Fifa game coming out, sort of had a glimmer of wanting to play a bit again, so didn't fully commit so downloaded the 10 hour trial from EA Play. Glad I did it this way. The menus are soul destroyingly awful, but managed to get a basic gold team together easily enough. Played and won a squad battles game. Afterwards, the realisation was that I really don't want to start playing this again. It started to die for me once the Gold Cup went. Will be back to my Football Manager save, Warzone, Fallguys, occassional Fortnite games with my daughter who has become insanely good at it with the 6 months they had off school and whatever game takes my fancy from the EA Play store for the next month until the month I paid £3.99 for runs out.

It's a shame, but the usual patch will hit in the next week and the game will become awful and one dimensional. No point grinding the objectives (which is something I enjoy doing in other games), if I'm not having fun doing it. Then it just becomes a cycle of playing Rivals and Futchamps in the hope of getting good rewards, when you can easily earn the coins to buy 98% of what you would get anyway with a month of release. And then once meta and exploits are found, it becomes a mess as everyone has 95 rated players in every position when EA goes mad releasing money grabbing promos. Just not for me anymore.

Seems to be exactly the same thing again as the past few years. No tournaments means that there's no reason to use 99% of the database, and once you get to a certain level in rivals, it quickly gets boring very quickly. Then what is there to do? Sure there are the objectives, but doing these against stacked sweat teams in rivals will soon be anything but fun once weekend League rewards start being claimed and everyone has millions of coins very quickly.
If there were tournaments again I may have bought it, but once the glitches in game become known it will die quickly I think.

I'm enjoying FM, with a Barnet save where I've got from National League to Championship, and a save in the Greek Leagues, where I've taken over a newly promoted team in the second season and am only allowed new players from my youth academy and nowhere else. Took over Olympiakos Volou and just starting my second season in charge, after missing promotion on the final day. Trying to integrate a few youth players who are semi ready as I have a lot of players into their 30s in my squad, and will probably start to struggle once they decline or retire. Am looking to undertake the most popular challenges off the FM forums to manage in a  varied amount of leagues!
Also playing a lot of Fortnite and having fun. Last couple of updates seem to have improved the game a lot after a very disappointing first three quarters of Season 10.

Not missing FIFA at all.

Hearing a lot of people saying it's the best for a very long time, but we are well aware of how EA like to butcher the game within a week normally!

We used to be able to win division 1. Had some good players. A shame it fizzled out really.
Hearing good things about 20, but still not tempted.

Can imagine. We did buy it. Couple of weeks FUT and than over to pro clubs. Last one is still loads of fun.

Proclubs is always fun if you have a good group to regularly play with. Unfortunately mine lost interest with 18. Now mine is gone too sadly. Game is so stale.

Not getting it so nothing from me this year. 19 was so bad gameplay wise that I haven't touched FIFA apart from an hour on the beta, for 3 months. Normally I would be excited to get back in, back 19 has finished it. No wish to sink untold hours into this again.
Who knows, maybe I'll play it again one day, maybe when the PS5 comes, but for now I'm playing Football Manager and Fortnite. Also have Red Dead 2 that I barely played last year and Skyrim I bought ages ago and haven't touched (since the PS3), but for now I have no interest in FIFA at all.

I'm still messing with this game. Unfortunately it is an absolutely monstrously bad game. Easily the worst Fifa of the past 10 years. Actually played some weekend league this weekend. Am 4-3 but it is just toxic. Three of the guys i beat sent rage messages. Have over 3m coins and if I sold stuff would be over 4m. But what is the point? Gameplay is an utter embarrassment. But there's no other football game to play!

Thanks! Sad what this game has become really.

My rewards gave me the 86 Lala and 81 Dwight Gayle.

This weekend I really couldn't be bothered. Played two games on Friday losing the first in comical fashion. The usual mess of my AI goalkeeper giving away a penalty after the ball was cleared from the box and random finesse shots that turn your keeper into a cabbage. Second game I conceded the most ridiculous goal from a corner. Under no pressure at all my play miscontrolled horribly and gave away a corner. From the corner, my goalkeeper and two defenders all collided, and fell over. Three minutes gone and 0-1. The opponent shushed, and immediately had 5 at the back and everyone as deep as possible and all behind the ball. Luckily he was useless and I ended up putting five past him.
Played another game this morning and dominated, but conceded to two finesse shots from the usual place with opponents weak foot and 1-0 had become 1-2. Luckily I managed to put three goals in in the final ten minutes to win 4-2. A hattrick for the Futmas Delli Alli and one for Dwight Gayle.

Out for the day so two wins and one loss will not become Gold 2 or 3 this week! The game is in an absolutely terrible state now. Opponents have no interest in getting into your box at all. Just hit timed finesse shots from 25 yards with anyone on any foot and you'll score as the fully assisted shooting will put it in more often than not.
I refuse to take the semi assisted shooting off and play like that.

Ended up getting to gold 3 again. Servers were terrible mid afternoon and I was on the verge of stopping at 6-7. Then suddenly connection improved, I started winning easily and got to 14-10. Stopped for ages, went back on late and had seemingly forgotten how to play the game and ended up 15-15 again. All stupid stuff was happening and was conceding constant injury time goals and even managed to lose somehow in the 125th minute of my last match with two minutes added on.

Merry Christmas!

Packed Tete and Sommer as my red players on Thursday. No games yesterday and only two today. First was plagued with ridiculous button delay, and just couldn't compete and lost lost 3-1. Second game was an easy 3-0 rage quit win against the worst weekend league player I've ever played. Had enough after that, will probably only play to six wins tomorrow, really can't be bothered.

The game is all about getting into an area just outside the box and finessing. 90 minutes of that over and over. Can never remember a fifa where the variety of goals is so low.

that is the whole issue and teh reason I disconnected from the game again. The whole game you are trying to prevent that from happening as it is 99% goal. Boring!

What makes it worse is that tackles have a huge tendency to bounce into that area, so there's often nothing you can do to stop it. Even having a defender right in front of the shot often results in it going perfectly through their legs and right into the top corner.
There's one thing they could easily do to stop this problem. All settings online to be semi assisted. They don't automatically go in on that setting, and the stupid ones when they are facing in the opposite direction would be killed instantly. I've used semi assisted for years and years on shooting but this year it's a big disadvantage, but I refuse to swap back.

Of course EA would never do this especially with Christmas days away and a big influx of new players to milk FIFA points out of.

Got to Gold 3 at 14-11 and should have stopped but played all my games and ended 15-15. At one stage I was 9-3.
Was a totally unenjoyable experience and I just hope that a patch will come out of nowhere and fix this game, but know full well that it won't. Never conceded so many goals straight from kick off. The game is all about getting into an area just outside the box and finessing. 90 minutes of that over and over. Can never remember a fifa where the variety of goals is so low.

Could only stomach four this evening. First game, lost 6-1 to a top 100 player. Lovely way to start. Was of course an expert in hitting finesse shots from outside the box, mostly whilst facing away from the goal and hit first time. A complete write off and a perfect advert for how broken the game is.
Second game was a 50/50 game that could have gone either way, but lost 2-1. Next two were easy, a first half 2-0 rage quit where I absolutely battered the guy. Last game I won 3-1 and was another 50/50 game I could gave easily lost. Gave away a goal from a comical series of bounces from kick off but scored two lucky goals from volleys from the edge of the box, one from a corner where his goal keeper punched straight to my player, and another weird one his keeper saved but fell to another player on the edge of the box with the keeper way out of position to block the shot. A third nice goal won it.

As ever, playing on a Saturday just seemed like everything was a bit off. No doubt it will be better tomorrow, but although the game can be enjoyable, it just send to get worse year on year with BS and cheap tactics.

Turns out the "worthless inform" I packed earlier was a Europa League Lo Celso card! Have also upgraded my Lehmann to a prime Hagi. Still have 8 packs to open.......

Rewards were once again very kind to me this morning. Packed my third icon on Fifa 19, this time untradable 88 Lehmann to go with my prime Van Nistelrooy and my long since departed 88 Shearer. The chances of this must be incredibly low. Haven't spent a penny on packs, either with coins or FIFA points! (apart from bronze packs!). This has all been earned packs and SBC's!

Also packed a few IF's, the Portuguese CM, another worthless one I can't remember, and a 7 match loan IF Kante. All this was from Division 5 rank 1.

Only opened my red Futchamps players from the weekend league, getting Donnarumma and Mata as my reds, so not too bad. Still to open the packs.

My thoughts on Lehmann are that with the uncertainty around Icon SBC's, I may as well put him in the Icon 3 upgrade that expires tomorrow and get a very cheap prime, either Zola, Hagi or Giggs. May use Lehmann for a few games tonight and see if he's as bad as Schmeichel was last year! Maybe icon keepers can stop the finesse shots from just outside the box? I wouldn't bet on it!
