This game is a joke. Player stats don’t matter, Division 2 players are casually outrunning players like Mbappe and Salah, AI’s below-mediocre goalkeepers(60-70 rated) are gods, pulling off saves never before seen in football, it is easier to score bycicle kicks from outside the box than it is to score from penalty kicks, refs are annoyingly dumb(players get fouled from behind in the box by AI’s last defender with sliding tackles, the ball is not touched at all, and the ref will give the defender a yellow card at least; meanwhile, a simmilar tackle done at the middle of the field is a red card), corner kicks and crosses are almost impossible to defend, your 85+ rated goalkeepers barely save any shot from outside the box(even from <70 rated players with very bad stats), the game feels scripted af sometimes(your players hit the crossbar 3 times in a row, the defenders run away from the incoming ball in the box regardless of your inputs, sometimes it seems like the players don’t want to jump or hit the ball even though the button is pressed etc.). I’ve played the previous versions of the game except from the last 3 ones and I’ve always had great fun, but this game is trash. I don’t mind the hard grinding that you have to do in order to get good players, to upgrade the stadium and all that, but it’s disappointing to see that there’s barely any difference between your 85+ rated players and the AI’s <75 rated ones. Maybe the online experience is better, idk, but after more than 25 offline seasons played I can say that the offline experience is disgusting and very annoying, with the things mentioned before happening over and over again pretty much every game.
