Nobody plays with them though. This is the first time it’s happened to a club people actually use.Boca juniors

Losing the Juventus license is highly embarrassing from EA.
From what a few pros told me, I'm slightly more optimistic regarding the gameplay.
Well pros hated 19 at the start.That’s how it begins every fecking year then they praise gameplay and say it’s better than ever then EA go and release patch after patch and before you know it gameplay is trash.
Well pros hated 19 at the start.
And 19 was pretty bad at the start. The 1st patch improved it(made bikes impossible to score from corners)
Well it wasn't necessarily replaced, but discovered rather as the new(and better alternative).I like they patched those stupid bicycle kicks but they just got replaced by el tornado crosses and back post headers, and the stupid la croquetta skill move.
Either way if it’s good or bad on release the gameplay a few months in will be completely different usually in a much worse way.
Do you think they're actually discovered on the off chance, or someone at EA tells the pros what moves aren't going to be properly registered by defenders ie el tornado crosses or attacking phases of play that 95% end up with a goal?Well it wasn't necessarily replaced, but discovered rather as the new(and better alternative).
But we'll see. Still not expecting much.
He is a pro so surely he'd also be told?Do you think they're actually discovered on the off chance, or someone at EA tells the pros what moves aren't going to be properly registered by defenders ie el tornado crosses or attacking phases of play that 95% end up with a goal?
2) Do something with Pro ClubsList of things that would make me buy a FIFA game again;
1) Improve the Player Career Mode
I didn't know that, I'd have thought they'd be given any advantage they could get with the gameplay.He is a pro so surely he'd also be told?
I'd fully forgot about the bicycle kicks at the start of this FIFA they were so easy to do
Because they play a stupid amount of hours a day, and practice things religiously. It sounds like the perfect job, but my god would it get boring very quickly.I didn't know that, I'd have thought they'd be given any advantage they could get with the gameplay.
I just don't get how once they nerf one OP move with an update, there's another one ready straight away and there's a Youtube video about it within the hour.
100% agree mate, weekend league and the odd game on rivals/SB for weekly objective is enough for me. Kudos to them though for earning a living out of it!Because they play a stupid amount of hours a day, and practice things religiously.

I've heard el tornado crosses are dead in FIFA 20, so there's that.Do you think they're actually discovered on the off chance, or someone at EA tells the pros what moves aren't going to be properly registered by defenders ie el tornado crosses or attacking phases of play that 95% end up with a goal?
Thank god for that, neither have I mate.I've heard el tornado crosses are dead in FIFA 20, so there's that.
No idea how it was never patched.
How you going to defend without it? You can't control all 11 players at once. I agree it needs toning down, but you can't remove it completely.As long as AI defending is a thing no one should buy the game, dull as feck.
They didn't have it up until FIFA 17 and everyone regards that period before as better/more entertaining. Letting the AI do all the defending has killed the whole dribbling element of the game, it's so boring now having to repeatedly pass for the entire game waiting for the opponent to slip up. It's closed the skill gap completely.How you going to defend without it? You can't control all 11 players at once. I agree it needs toning down, but you can't remove it completely.
How bad would a fifa have to be for you to stop playing it btw?Losing the Juventus license is highly embarrassing from EA.

FIFA 19 and I did stop playing it.How bad would a fifa have to be for you to stop playing it btw?
Fifa 19 was comfortably the worst fifa I’ve ever played. I’ve played about 30 games online I think and barely picked it up since November. Would usually rack up hundreds of games, if not thousands. I’ve zero interest in playing it if it isn’t a good game. Curious to see if a pro would ever stop or would you just persevere as it’s technically work?
I’m ex pro standard at previous FIFA’s, probably up to about 15/16 when I stopped having time to play so much. Only ever played for fun though and not really for proper money. Not sure how much I’d have to be paid to play fifa 19 regularly.
Playing online and watching my opponent control one midfielder and let his entire defence auto defend is infuriating because they track you perfectly. It’s lazy as feck.They didn't have it up until FIFA 17 and everyone regards that period before as better/more entertaining.

They did have it before 17, only to a lesser extent. If you remember back in around FIFA 12, that’s when there wasn’t any AI defending at all and the meta was to give the ball to fast and strong players like Agbonlahor and Bent and just run with it. If AI defending was removed completely it’d be too difficult to defend as you can only control one player.They didn't have it up until FIFA 17 and everyone regards that period before as better/more entertaining.

Yeah when I say AI defending, I mean the introduced capability of letting players you don't have selected do all the tracking, covering and defending for you. For example, up until FIFA 16 if your opponent's controller ran out of battery you would be able to run straight through and score a goal with ease. Now if that happens, it actually becomes harder to get close to the net and score. They've minimised the human error aspect of the game and closed the skill gap. They've sacrificed the gameplay as their current system makes them more money so I don't see them going back.They did have it before 17, only to a lesser extent.

Yep agreed, it's turned the game into a boring pile of shite.Playing online and watching my opponent control one midfielder and let his entire defence auto defend is infuriating because they track you perfectly. It’s lazy as feck.
What's crab walking?Just saw a trailer which clearly shows that crab walking is back. EA are absolute clowns

FIFA 15 may have the last game without the mechanism, FIFA 16 was it's first introduction, and then FIFA 17 was when it was fully integrated and people took full advantage of it to defend. It wasn't a case of having 9 zombies in my opinion, you was fully capable of switching quick enough to the player you needed controlling, people could defend just fine before it was introduced.They did have it.
I remember testing out one game in 16 where I just patrolled around controlling my cdm whenever I didn’t have the ball and it was successful. As whenever I controlled players especially CBS I would get outpaced or through ball would go behind me. It just wasn’t highlighted back then.
There needs to be some balance in defence and attack. But the defending tools they give you need to be better too. I’m glad that they saying when you tackle someone you get the ball back rather than it bouncing around back to attackers. There needs to be some AI defending involved though unless you want 9 other zombies with you. But they shouldn’t mirror or track players near the ball carrier. That decision should be left with the human whether he goes after the player passing the ball or he tracks the runner.
When you hold L2/R2 and move side to side and backwards with the ball glued to your feet, defying the laws of physics. It’s been prominent in previous Fifa’sWhat's crab walking?
Are you serious?I appear to be in the minority and think FIFA 19 was a vast improvement on what came before it. Skill moves were rewarded unrealistically before this, that said the la croquete and the tornado cross are ridiculous, and it rewards passing and patience. I am happy with it. It's not perfect obviously and the patches have made it more arcade like as the year progresses but ya its the best FIFA so far
One of FIFA 20's major new features is,wait for it,a dragback skill.When you hold L2/R2 and move side to side and backwards with the ball glued to your feet, defying the laws of physics. It’s been prominent in previous Fifa’s

Is that a 'new feature' they're leading with? Basically green timed shots when maraudering towards goal then. They need to sort out through balls, player with 90+ passing should be capable of passing it between 2 defenders, without them playing it the wrong direction or over hitting it to the GK.“Composed Finishing” is just the same as a finesse shot?
Thanks, didn't know it was called that. Yeah, that's annoying as feck.When you hold L2/R2 and move side to side and backwards with the ball glued to your feet, defying the laws of physics. It’s been prominent in previous Fifa’s
