Think I'm gunna take a break from FIFA. I don't play online but I've been playing on legendary. I won the CL and league on it but I feel like I'm forced to play ugly. Unless the computer is pushing players forward, most of my goals come from getting down the wing and driven pass+praying.
The most rewarding type of goals are cutting in with a skilled winger and finishing or playing passes through the middle. The computer makes both nearly impossible. Cutting in and scoring is hard enough against com, but my teammates block me almost as much as the defenders. Even had an instance where I cut in today and got off a shot, but then the ball richocheted off 2 of my players before going into the back of the net.
The "come up" part was fun. Buying/selling/adjusting my team and getting creative with my formation and playing style to figure out how to win. But now that I'm done with that, I'm stocked with world class players trying to play in a fun way and it's impossible. Can't even get long shots off either.
It's like they can't find a happy medium. Some FIFAs cutting in is automatic and too easy. The wack thing about running down the flank and knocking it in the middle is the amount of luck involved with scoring which obviously subtracts from the feeling of reward. I had both the highest scoring team and best defense in the league and still am not really enjoying. It's also ridiculous how bad passing around the box is. It's like to nerf all those easy tap in goals people used to get in the past they made you completely lose control. It's either a slow motion pass that lets defenders catch up, or a wild driven pass from close range.
I feel like it's been a while since I've been happy with the quality of a footy game. I'll still play them because I love the genre though.
