I don’t understand what you mean? There was a time before playstyles existed and a player with high 80s in the passing such as gold messi like nick highlighted could do through balls and quick passing. Now try do a one time pass with zidane who has 94 passing it will be much slower and less accurate compared to a bronze card with 50 passing and tiki taka, that is just ridiculous if you ask me.
Well casuals who spent money on TOTY are gone now. So they need us RTG guys too keep up the numbers how many people are on the game playing. Come on guys. The made the game so good. Remember they were monitoring the AI defending in December and never buffed it. We are just imagining things. Players got better and got better cards lmao 🤣
There was literally no need to add them, who else remembers traits. And even they didn’t have much of an effect as playstyles. Take me back, the games gone…
The only reason playstyles were added was to make money through micro transactions. That's it. Now they can have 5 or 6 different versions of the same player per game. They milk a promo and change the "meta" to suit it. Once they've maxed out what they can get out of it they change the meta. The players don't work as well anymore. Then they come out with a new version of the same guy with the new meta playstyles. Boom they are back in business. The old card doesn't work anymore and people are more likely to dump more money into it to get the new one. That's it. That's the business model. They don't care about making the game great. Money is all that matters.
@michaelhumphreys2102They always had 5 or 6 different versions of a player even back in the old FIFA games. The true reason why they added the playstyles is the same reason why they added archetypes to Pro Clubs. Playstyles and archetypes are forms of DDA implementations, just like perks and streaks in other games. They were looking for a way to implement their DDA algorithms into the game, to generate more profit.
The bruiser update was so unnecessary too, feel like I'm playing WWE bruh, no space, auto press, literally everyone jumping you when you get the ball 🤣🤣
Bro I have a Alphonso Davies evo with bruiser and he absolutely trucked Erling Haaland off the ball I’m like that was the most stupid unrealistic animation I’ve ever seen this is too much 😂
@tylerlufkin1537my leftback is a girl called Muller, at this point she has decent physical, but even when she didn't i had bruiser on her fairly early, she's legit the best leftback i've ever used. Because shes small agile. But also a Tank. 90% of my games people start attacking her side, get bodied couple times and just never attack from that side again. 😂
How the f does that even happen? What tactics do they have? I'm in div 2 and I also notice this. I can't get my players to press for shit, but other peoples fking attackers are defending all the time... it's insanity
DUDE I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ALL YEAR INSTEAD I GOT WINGERS TRACKING BACK AND RUNNING UP PITCH FOR 90 MINUTES WITH 3/4 OF THERE STAMINA BAR STILL THERE
Dude, in august they've announced that now stamina doesnt affect acceleration, we've never had this shit in the past 30 years of PIFA, so now your red dead out of stamina players have NO PENALTY for acceleration, that's why its so easy also to spam through balls and sit deep because nowadays the lack of stamina doesn't reduce the quality of acceleration :DDDDDDDDD fucking lunatics @easports
That's not exactly what they said tbf. They said user controlled players will not be affected by stamina drain. So there's an incentive to switch, because the player you control will play the same for all 90 minutes.
@shivanshuraturi3451 user controlled players have infinite stamina, its INSANE change that nobody asked for, THIS IS FUCKING INSANITY: When controlling a player, the effect of fatigue on the Sprint Speed and Acceleration attributes is not in effect. Meaning a user-controlled player acts as if they have full stamina when controlled.
it’s insane to think that if radja nainggolan got a hero card he would just be ass cause they would just throw like power shot enforcer pinged pass relentless plus and precision header on him
I think the concept of playstyles isn‘t actually all that bad it‘s just classic ea that it‘s been implemented horribly and instead of a balanced game where the effectiveness of playstyles is scaled with the stats that they affect it‘s just a buggy mess where finesse shots fly in from every angle and players without tiki taka can‘t pass the ball to save their lives
I saw a guy saying playstyles plus should belong only in icon players, because icon its the most high status a player could be. I still think its better for they to go, but if EA insist using them i think this is a good option
Out of curiosity, I picked up FIFA 23 again, and I was shocked to see the superiority in every aspect of the gameplay and animations compared to FC 26.
The easy answer here is remove regular playstyles on all cards, playstyle +'s should give you a boost on the specific input, but other than that, all you go off of is attributes
This is worse, the players would always do the same movements no difference between teams. They should make things move differently from formation to formation, if I go 3-4-3 I should have better attacking and more players in attacking positions but be a little bit more weak on defense, instead they make a formation be incredibly good on defense and attacking without much downsides.. Some formations should counter other formations. Roles and instructions are good and will make a player either stay back, join attack and how he would do his job (more inside, more outside) Playstyles should be only a small increase, like a 5-15% better and not how it is now if your players doesn't have a tiki-taka he can't play a proper pass even with 90 passing
@iskaly7089they should keep playstyle as trait there are so many unnecessary playstyle like Intercept jockey anticipate tiki taka that shouldn't be playstyle its a basic skils every player should have maybe u can see trivela, finese shot or even slide tackle as real playstyle cause those thing only certain player can master
@lionelluffy6746exactly, sure some stuff should be playstyles like trickster, deadball or acrobatic, but other ones like intercept and anticipate should just be removed and take into account the pure stats (in this case: interceptions, standing tackle and defensive awareness). would make way more sense instead of a player with 30 interceptions and intercept playstyle doing better than 95 interceptions stat with no playstyle
icon swaps literally feels like homework. yesterday trying to force chip shots, outside the box shots etc. in friendlies showed me very quickly im not doing all the tokens. arc raiders it is
I can't be bothered with these objectives. No offence but why would you want to do this for a videogame card. Especially with how toxic some opponents are.
Exactly… i have Not played the Game really since Toty week 2 because gameplay sucks and evo‘s Like the Toty or Icon swaps Are Like homework or a day Job …
No chance will i waste my time on swap tokens the challenges are a chore!! Very very boring id rather stick with my team that has the playstyles i need i guess lol
I miss the days where I actually worked to improve my defense. These days no matter what I do the moment I try to manual defend I’m screwed cause you aren’t rewarded for being good at manual defending anymore
I will have a player an inch away from the ball and they cant be bothered to move their foot an inch. I’m really good at cutting passing lanes but without intercept it’s hopeless.
Q3 Earnings report: "FC 26 is doing exactly what EA needs it to do: providing steady, growing, high-margin revenue through microtransactions while the company prepares for its massive $55 billion buyout."
One of my favourite things to do on old fifa's was to chip the keeper from a really tight angle into the far corner. Literally impossible now that playstyles exist
Just go through every Base Icon and Base Hero and you'll quickly realize that less than 20% are still playable after a month. This is mainly due to playstyles and roles. Almost no Icon or Hero has good playstyles, and those used to be the best and most popular players...
the recent patch wasn’t supposed to update gameplay but it did something to the finesse shots, shows how ea shadow update features without telling the community
Roles too they need a lil tuning. the amount of times a lil timmy charged me with both there CB and my striker because they're on false come short to the cbs instead of staying in the gap they left legit have to send them on a run to keep them in that pocket no attacking AI. (or stays next to the full backs if they are on support)
10:07 Is it just me who doesn’t even have the energy to complete the icon swap tokens? I’m so burnt out from this game; I’m avoiding playing at all costs.
I ain’t doing any only one I got is the champs one. Only thing I was remotely interested in was the evo but realistically they’ll release evo as good as that soon, so f grinding for that bs
I thought the same but it was pretty easy the online objectives I completed in about 40 games with like 10 rage quits a few just you and your opponent doing the objective and just letting the game play out.
Not just you. I haven’t played this game for two months and came back to see whats different and i saw token swap so i only completed defender glow up then back to not playing this game again
The general gameplay has felt so much worse in recent weeks too. Nothing specific but my players have just felt really slow and sluggish and their first touches have been so bad to a point where it feels like I’m being hacked. Not only do my players feel like they’re in mud but also the ball itself.
Talk about the difference between ps5 and PC gameplay, the delay and the bullshit I see when I play on PS5 is outstanding, A normal company can't make the game this bad even if they are paid to do it.
I said this last year. In FC 25 I packed prime Dinho during Black Friday. He was crazy, for the most part. But there were so many things missing from the card. With playstyles, the freedom of choosing your own players is still disappearing. Despite evo’s being present, it still forces you to care more about playstyles than stats(the thing the game was built on) which is mental. EA have been regressing since they got rid of the Official FIFA name.
I made a CB evo with 90 standing tackle, 91 def awareness, 90 strength, but since he doesn’t have base anticipate, he only makes 40-50% of his tackles. I wouldn’t mind playstyles if they loosened up evo restrictions a bit so we can put good playstyles on the players we want. Let us evo any card under 90 with max 7-8 playstyles and restrict the stats evo instead to differentiate the quality of each card
Yup the problem is that EA content team is so stingy with Evo’s, and they release cards that are obselete on release. I’m not sure if the team that creates card’s don’t actually play the game, but a promo should have most player’s be suitable to the meta. Just look at DiMarco’s card they released today. EA content team is completely out of touch.
I just looked at my FC 24 and 25 evo Dortmund team and most of the players didn’t have all passing playstyles now all my players got the passing playstyles that’s so boring
I’ve been fortunate enough to pack 93 Dinho last month from a icon pick. And he’s sitting on the bench because of this issue. Stats should matter not some made up playstyle.
the game is just broken on so many levels that i cant even understand why half of the things even happen. for example the other teams winger with 40 defending and no defensive playstyles intercepts my passes like a greek god with a magnet on his feet while my CDM with 90 defending and intercept playstyle is in front of the ball and it bounces back to his player every time. also ridiculous how an 80 pace CB can catch up to my rapid+ 93 pace striker on a break away, its just unplayable and frustrating every time
I remember in og fifas kante jockey speed was insane he could cover the whole pitch nowadays cbs with 99 def awareness and jockey plus feel like there running in mud it was way funner when only stats only mattered
If they keep the playstyles they need to make them like they were in fc24, they were way more balanced in that than the last two years. It felt like stats mattered the most then play styles gave an extra benefit, I remember running garrincha and Toty Best in cm in the 4321 and never noticed their passing being awful even though they had no passing play styles
Playstyles have ruined FIFA? Or name change? Come on guys. I agree that playstyles are trash, but FIFA is literally TRASH for 8 or 9 years now! Never forget all the complaints and bad times we had since FIFA PTSD 19 in every single year, it has been horrendous...
this is the same issue with all the goats games like cod, bf, fifa, 2k. they sell us with things that make us feel nostalgic or feel like because they added a certain thing whether it's a map like op metro which a creator just released on bf6 that the devs are promoting tf out of or cod bringing back older maps like raid, fringe, slums in bo7, and like icon swaps and ibarbo, gervinho, doumbia for fifa, all they need to do is sell you once on something u already love and it's a high high % that you're most likely to throw some more money at them, even if it's unrelated to the thing that brought you back in the first place since you'll get the 'well fuck it why not, one time won't hurt', and then you're cooked. the massive difference here is that you're essentially required (unless you're insanely lucky which is none of us realistically) to spend money on fifa exclusively to stay infront/on the curve. obv u can be really good and be t500 elite, 15-0 champs without these things, but we all know how champs/rivals is at the higher elos so i'm not even gonna get into it. at least on the other examples mentioned, they're all cosmetics, but ea have taken a 2k route and i'm afraid the company is cooked. and it doesn't help that they don't even rate us enough to make the gameplay borderline playable, so there's no future for ea and also people that spend 100s and 1000s+ have fucked us over because it's basically a legal scam lmao, your money is being taken every year to play with virtual cards so u can feel something and not even be the best, it's shameful and all ppl that spend money on this game deserve to be hacked on in champs. and some cc's like anthonyday, it's not even a joke anymore, it's genuinely a humiliation kink atp because how could someone with a reasonable amount of brain power even consider to spend that much, baring in mind he's obv seeing a return in his content and it's a write off, but there's no way he's coming out positive on that regard from the state of the game and it's mindblowing how ppl are supporting the very own things that've brought us from where we were with fifaralle and kazooie doing skilling to glory, and others doing div1 series, and trading etc, wallyson, kelvin, leite, azevedo,agbonlahor, totw's meaning something, skill expression in diff avenues. honestly i hope the company burns to the ground and another football title actually rises above ea gameplay and menus wise to continue on, because if fifa dies, nobody will go to efootball or the other games on the market; nobody will really play football games anymore, so something needs to be done asap, otherwise we are cooked
Your exactly right but EA will not remove playsyles because they don’t want players have cards with 1k+ games on a card like older games, they want us changing our team every few weeks, I have R9 and seriously gold pina is better because R9 doesn’t have tiki or incisive pass , that’s a crazy place to be 😢
Fk EA .. Right now you got the Epstein shyt going on and the world being run by some sick ppl.. Pixels on a screen should be the least of your worries guys. Spend time with your loved ones and wish you all good health and blessings❤👊🏽
I have played UT since fifa 12. Every year there are Broken mechanics and players. Fifa 12 had insane hándicaps if you used op silvers against gold teams. Fifa 13 had those insane low rated bundesliga players that basicly played like tots/toty. The real problem whit Fifa IS it's EA being greedy,it's servers,the hacking,the overpriced packs,the pack weight... But sadly people have short therm memory,in few months we Will start the hype train again for fifa 27 and how everything IS going to change to good 😅
The question now is - are they going to do the same shit every year? Release a promising game at the start and make it worse over time to squeeze people out of money? Now they start talking about playstyles again, because they ran out of design space - cant design any more good cards, because there are only so many good playstyles for each position. So now they want to nerf them, make rating more powerful and release high rated cards in promos to sell.
@jonttux9151its only good because we can customise the players to have the playstyles that are meta if playstyles didnt exist evos wouldnt be as popular because it would make a lot of promo players more useable roles and playstyles is what has destroyed the game gameplay wise
5:21 I’m sorry. I definitely run around with my DM and plug gaps….as soon as I click on my CB one wrong move and I’m now out of position and concede the goal.
That’s the whole point half of you and the community can’t defend and so we now have some people thinking they are good when they cant even play half of of the game of football which is defense. It’s like saying we might as well have the ai pass and dribble for us on offense as well, because “as soon as I click onto the ball dribbler, one wrong move and now I lost possession” Yes occasionally playing off to guess and intercept in lanes should be fine. But the ai should not bail out the player It’s like a pride thing too. Off balling on defense the entire game is the softest most cowardly thing you can do in fifa. Like just tell me you are scared to take control of the outcome.
@tylerlufkin1537 yes I play off to keep my CB in position then I switch to them when the time is right. Unlike the clip Nick showed, the guy never switched off.
Imagine telling someone in fifa 20 that R9 would be a swaps reward but because he doesn’t have perfect play styles or they have an 88 evo pina there would be no need to grind the tokens to get him.
Who wants the Creator to appear as happy when they are not? Me personally, I value authenticity. That's why you are the GOAT creator. You tell it how it is.
Mass False Bans for “Balance Transfer” on PC. Unfortunately, it seems that the PC platform and its players are being treated with indifference. After the mass bans on consoles, everyone was unbanned within a few days. Meanwhile, we've been waiting for almost a month. We're investing our time and money, only to receive an unjustified ban from the transfer market. Perhaps we need to make our voices heard. It's important for us to unite or even reach out to a popular RUclipsr to spotlight this issue. I'm at a loss about what to do next. I’m really disappointed. Why isn’t anyone able to help us?
I am SOOOOO Glad that a content creator has finally said what I’ve been thinking since FC24. It didn’t add to the game. It only took away the ability to use certain features unless EA wanted you to
Another big issue alongside playstyles is game modes... That's why it feels like no fun anymore and more like homework/chore. You're forced to play FUT, do SBCs/objectives and so on just to get some playable players (very often you don't even care about those players and don't like them IRL)... And if you stop, you're falling too much behind and already in disadvantage. In any other game, you could pickup from where you left and your skill will decide, but now in FC you also need time & grind to even have a chance to play & have some fun. Also the whole system is built on playing vs random people and not with/vs your friends - that alone kills a lot of fun, because it might be fun for competitive/ranked gaming, but not for the rest majority of casual gamers. Imagine how fun it might be to have a possibility to create a custom tournament for like 4 of your friends, pick any cards and create any team you want, play that tournament over Friday evening and just be done with it... Or similar to a draft mode for solo players, but when you can pick the team you want and don't need to spend money to have possibility to play...And there's no need for any rewards for those, because the only reward that matters is having fun & joy.
In this game you can’t steal the ball from someone spinning around like a fidgets spinner but when you try to do step overs or and kind of rs skill moves you lose the ball automatically. The only way to hold the ball (even with top cards) is to run horizontal and hold onto rb/r1. It’s ridiculous
EA tried to insert a similar concept from their American Football game, Madden, where players in UT can have abilities to make them better, but the difference is that in Madden, the abilities don't break the game or a player is unusable because they don't have a certain ability. This is my first FUT since 22 and I agree that these play styles are too overpowering and dependent and feel like too much of a need rather than a bonus.
I started playing ultimate team in fifa21 and oh my god do i miss those games , they werent flawless but damn they were so much more fun to play. The first week of fc26 felt like we would have the best game of the last 4 years only for ea to throw everything away just to please the kids that have no hands. Im not a good player by any means but damn was the first month so fun to play, now playing fc26 is more exhausting than actually working
I hypothesize that cards always had playstyles that's why back in the day certain cards played well above its stats. they just made them public in the last couple years.
![I Opened My Own Movie Store [Retro Rewind]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ac5uAUF4pSo/mqdefault.jpg)
Imagine telling someone who doesn’t play you can’t use zidane or ronaldinho because they can’t do a first time pass 😭😂
😂😂😂
That IS crazy if you think about it smh
I don’t understand what you mean? There was a time before playstyles existed and a player with high 80s in the passing such as gold messi like nick highlighted could do through balls and quick passing. Now try do a one time pass with zidane who has 94 passing it will be much slower and less accurate compared to a bronze card with 50 passing and tiki taka, that is just ridiculous if you ask me.
insane how true it is
😂 it’s really messed up lol
Ironic how they said they were going to listen to the community just to do the complete opposite 😂
Wdym they literally updated the game and reversed updates because of this cringe ahh community
They did for the first 2 weeks
Didnt expect anything else. I think they really tried at the beginning of this years game but threw it out of the window
anything for the money, who else but quagmire (ea)
Well casuals who spent money on TOTY are gone now. So they need us RTG guys too keep up the numbers how many people are on the game playing. Come on guys. The made the game so good. Remember they were monitoring the AI defending in December and never buffed it. We are just imagining things. Players got better and got better cards lmao 🤣
There was literally no need to add them, who else remembers traits. And even they didn’t have much of an effect as playstyles. Take me back, the games gone…

Money is all that matters.
They needed to add them to sell more packs
@michaelhumphreys2102I mean.... It's the same thing with efootball but worse in terms of forcing shiii down our throats
@michaelhumphreys2102They always had 5 or 6 different versions of a player even back in the old FIFA games. The true reason why they added the playstyles is the same reason why they added archetypes to Pro Clubs.
Playstyles and archetypes are forms of DDA implementations, just like perks and streaks in other games. They were looking for a way to implement their DDA algorithms into the game, to generate more profit.
@AdmiralMairOPlaystyles and Archetypes are DDA implementations.
Why do I need a playstyle to make a 5 yard pass
You could have every playstyle in the game your still gunna go 8-7
Imagine pirlo being shit at 5 yard passes coz no tiki taka
You dont
With a pro players btw
@SonyCamrylol
these days you cant even be happy about packing Zidane because you know he cant make a first time pass 😭
Facts
Same with Ronaldinho for example - was my favourite card but no tikitaka = no playable ronaldinho this year :(
tbf i got him from the icon pack back in november, and hes the best CAM ive used at this stage of a fifa
@D@Doubleshocker00u can put tiki taka gold from the icon swaps evo on him
@Brinners_1 playing a guy at cam with no tiki taka is the most div 10 garbage I’ve ever heard in my life🤣🤣🤣
If you really think about it, the only thing EA really changed from fc25 gameplay wise is removing timed finishing 🤣
Yes
The bruiser update was so unnecessary too, feel like I'm playing WWE bruh, no space, auto press, literally everyone jumping you when you get the ball 🤣🤣
Bro I have a Alphonso Davies evo with bruiser and he absolutely trucked Erling Haaland off the ball I’m like that was the most stupid unrealistic animation I’ve ever seen this is too much 😂
THIS I MS IS MY HIGGEST COMPLIMENT! This completely defeats the point of football as theirs no counter to it
but is only buffed for tactical def all these npcs cpu defending and spaming x always the one with gullit evo and claudia pina
@tylerlufkin1537my leftback is a girl called Muller, at this point she has decent physical, but even when she didn't i had bruiser on her fairly early, she's legit the best leftback i've ever used. Because shes small agile. But also a Tank. 90% of my games people start attacking her side, get bodied couple times and just never attack from that side again. 😂
How the f does that even happen? What tactics do they have? I'm in div 2 and I also notice this. I can't get my players to press for shit, but other peoples fking attackers are defending all the time... it's insanity
I’ll never forget when ea said there’d be severe stamina drain for players who don’t switch when defending…
DUDE I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ALL YEAR INSTEAD I GOT WINGERS TRACKING BACK AND RUNNING UP PITCH FOR 90 MINUTES WITH 3/4 OF THERE STAMINA BAR STILL THERE
Dude, in august they've announced that now stamina doesnt affect acceleration, we've never had this shit in the past 30 years of PIFA, so now your red dead out of stamina players have NO PENALTY for acceleration, that's why its so easy also to spam through balls and sit deep because nowadays the lack of stamina doesn't reduce the quality of acceleration :DDDDDDDDD fucking lunatics @easports
That's not exactly what they said tbf. They said user controlled players will not be affected by stamina drain. So there's an incentive to switch, because the player you control will play the same for all 90 minutes.
@shivanshuraturi3451 user controlled players have infinite stamina, its INSANE change that nobody asked for, THIS IS FUCKING INSANITY:
When controlling a player, the effect of fatigue on the Sprint Speed and Acceleration attributes is not in effect.
Meaning a user-controlled player acts as if they have full stamina when controlled.
The game was decent for like three weeks and they had to ruin it.
2 months* game was rly good for more than just 3 weeks
@GiGaZillaEditzin the end they just messed it up
it’s insane to think that if radja nainggolan got a hero card he would just be ass cause they would just throw like power shot enforcer pinged pass relentless plus and precision header on him
Packed base 93 Cruyff, played him for two games, he was so useless I threw him into the Messi SBC. A 2 million coin card btw.
Thats what i feel abou my jairzinho toty because he doenst have finesse in gold or silver...
Legit didn't happen
I think the concept of playstyles isn‘t actually all that bad it‘s just classic ea that it‘s been implemented horribly and instead of a balanced game where the effectiveness of playstyles is scaled with the stats that they affect it‘s just a buggy mess where finesse shots fly in from every angle and players without tiki taka can‘t pass the ball to save their lives
2nd this sentiment
I saw a guy saying playstyles plus should belong only in icon players, because icon its the most high status a player could be. I still think its better for they to go, but if EA insist using them i think this is a good option
Out of curiosity, I picked up FIFA 23 again, and I was shocked to see the superiority in every aspect of the gameplay and animations compared to FC 26.
FIFA 23 is the best modern FIFA since 17
Last time I enjoy my self on this game. The last 3 years have been garbage
Inspired me to give this a go. Looking forward to logging on and seeing what team I was running back then!
@CokeZero-6718,20 and 22 were great
The easy answer here is remove regular playstyles on all cards, playstyle +'s should give you a boost on the specific input, but other than that, all you go off of is attributes
Roles out, Playstyles out, basic formations no instructions
This is worse, the players would always do the same movements no difference between teams. They should make things move differently from formation to formation, if I go 3-4-3 I should have better attacking and more players in attacking positions but be a little bit more weak on defense, instead they make a formation be incredibly good on defense and attacking without much downsides.. Some formations should counter other formations.
Roles and instructions are good and will make a player either stay back, join attack and how he would do his job (more inside, more outside)
Playstyles should be only a small increase, like a 5-15% better and not how it is now if your players doesn't have a tiki-taka he can't play a proper pass even with 90 passing
@iskaly7089they should keep playstyle as trait there are so many unnecessary playstyle like
Intercept jockey anticipate tiki taka that shouldn't be playstyle its a basic skils every player should have maybe u can see trivela, finese shot or even slide tackle as real playstyle cause those thing only certain player can master
and females
@johnnybravo9178cornball
@lionelluffy6746exactly, sure some stuff should be playstyles like trickster, deadball or acrobatic, but other ones like intercept and anticipate should just be removed and take into account the pure stats (in this case: interceptions, standing tackle and defensive awareness). would make way more sense instead of a player with 30 interceptions and intercept playstyle doing better than 95 interceptions stat with no playstyle
icon swaps literally feels like homework. yesterday trying to force chip shots, outside the box shots etc. in friendlies showed me very quickly im not doing all the tokens. arc raiders it is
😂Good man. It's not that serious. Especially with such crap gameplay. It could have actually been fun to do if the gameplay was actually fun.
I can't be bothered with these objectives. No offence but why would you want to do this for a videogame card. Especially with how toxic some opponents are.
Exactly… i have Not played the Game really since Toty week 2 because gameplay sucks and evo‘s Like the Toty or Icon swaps Are Like homework or a day Job …

I miss the days where I actually worked to improve my defense. These days no matter what I do the moment I try to manual defend I’m screwed cause you aren’t rewarded for being good at manual defending anymore
Facts bro, thats the main thing I hate about the game now man!
I will have a player an inch away from the ball and they cant be bothered to move their foot an inch. I’m really good at cutting passing lanes but without intercept it’s hopeless.
That Durant poster is PEAK!
19:31 thats the point. EA wants you to chase new players all the time
Was gonna get a job but this CHANGES EVERYTHING
Stop
go get a job
my brotha just another me
Nick is probably one of the most genuine fact speaking person in the fc community and doesnt fake anything, thats mad respect man
Lol paid comment much. Remove your head from his as......
not the christmas tree still standing there on the edge

Also the roles are shit. You can only play 4 at the back because if you play 3 at the back the lm and rm just don’t defend
The worst thing they added was roles . They ruined variety in teams . I haven’t played 4222 in two years . Remove both of them .
Yep. The current tactics system forces you into playing only a certain number of formations until endgame
Even if playstyles didn't exist people are going to still run back with their ST and R1 defend without switching unless AI is massively nerfed
Just go through every Base Icon and Base Hero and you'll quickly realize that less than 20% are still playable after a month. This is mainly due to playstyles and roles. Almost no Icon or Hero has good playstyles, and those used to be the best and most popular players...
Omg soo truee. Some of them barely make it to the first week💀
the recent patch wasn’t supposed to update gameplay but it did something to the finesse shots, shows how ea shadow update features without telling the community
Exactly!!!!
Last year they dropped the Low Driven play style a couple weeks before they announced it
Roles too they need a lil tuning. the amount of times a lil timmy charged me with both there CB and my striker because they're on false come short to the cbs instead of staying in the gap they left legit have to send them on a run to keep them in that pocket no attacking AI. (or stays next to the full backs if they are on support)
Imagine playing a football game were ronaldinho can’t pass balls, that’s like playing a super Mario game were he can’t jump.
10:07 Is it just me who doesn’t even have the energy to complete the icon swap tokens? I’m so burnt out from this game; I’m avoiding playing at all costs.
I ain’t doing any only one I got is the champs one. Only thing I was remotely interested in was the evo but realistically they’ll release evo as good as that soon, so f grinding for that bs
I thought the same but it was pretty easy the online objectives I completed in about 40 games with like 10 rage quits a few just you and your opponent doing the objective and just letting the game play out.
Not just you. I haven’t played this game for two months and came back to see whats different and i saw token swap so i only completed defender glow up then back to not playing this game again
@josephokorie3642bit weird nah you might aswell have not even done that if you not gonna play after it?😅
@noflexzonee i just did that then evo’d one of my centerbacks i got then didn’t bother playing nothing else. Game is completely wasteful
The general gameplay has felt so much worse in recent weeks too. Nothing specific but my players have just felt really slow and sluggish and their first touches have been so bad to a point where it feels like I’m being hacked. Not only do my players feel like they’re in mud but also the ball itself.
no bro, time to hit the store packs and upgrade your team
Same with me, in the last weeks the players were very slow and weird, i left the game and you should do it men
Talk about the difference between ps5 and PC gameplay, the delay and the bullshit I see when I play on PS5 is outstanding, A normal company can't make the game this bad even if they are paid to do it.
I said this last year. In FC 25 I packed prime Dinho during Black Friday. He was crazy, for the most part. But there were so many things missing from the card. With playstyles, the freedom of choosing your own players is still disappearing. Despite evo’s being present, it still forces you to care more about playstyles than stats(the thing the game was built on) which is mental. EA have been regressing since they got rid of the Official FIFA name.
I got 94 winter wildcards dinho, outside of dribbling and finesse shots he's lowkey mid can't pass or outrun anyone
Base 93 dinho is an absolute monster if you know how to use trickster ! No offense but he can travel up and down the pitch with ease using trickster
I made a CB evo with 90 standing tackle, 91 def awareness, 90 strength, but since he doesn’t have base anticipate, he only makes 40-50% of his tackles. I wouldn’t mind playstyles if they loosened up evo restrictions a bit so we can put good playstyles on the players we want. Let us evo any card under 90 with max 7-8 playstyles and restrict the stats evo instead to differentiate the quality of each card
I have a 94 pace cevallos but he doesn’t have play styles so he gets caught up by another 85 pace who does
Yup the problem is that EA content team is so stingy with Evo’s, and they release cards that are obselete on release. I’m not sure if the team that creates card’s don’t actually play the game, but a promo should have most player’s be suitable to the meta. Just look at DiMarco’s card they released today. EA content team is completely out of touch.
evos are unnecessary, archetypes were enough. real of fifa players just want actual good game play
I just looked at my FC 24 and 25 evo Dortmund team and most of the players didn’t have all passing playstyles now all my players got the passing playstyles that’s so boring
I’ve been fortunate enough to pack 93 Dinho last month from a icon pick. And he’s sitting on the bench because of this issue. Stats should matter not some made up playstyle.
Same situation here… Aitana gold benched Dinho hahahahah this game gone
@xisGasI got 90 gullit and 94 zidane on bench. Rejoinders starting ahead of them
At this point in the game, I stopped playing it, it's not worth playing, I played all the FIFAs, it's not the same anymore, it's time to say goodbye
28 seconds holy refresh pull
This man got bit by a tick and started his villain arc
say goodbye to your EA TOTY kit
Also how they haven't addressed the horrific delay on console
the game is just broken on so many levels that i cant even understand why half of the things even happen.
for example the other teams winger with 40 defending and no defensive playstyles intercepts my passes like a greek god with a magnet on his feet while my CDM with 90 defending and intercept playstyle is in front of the ball and it bounces back to his player every time.
also ridiculous how an 80 pace CB can catch up to my rapid+ 93 pace striker on a break away, its just unplayable and frustrating every time
“Shout out to the guys who watch moist critical” 😆😆
I remember in og fifas kante jockey speed was insane he could cover the whole pitch nowadays cbs with 99 def awareness and jockey plus feel like there running in mud it was way funner when only stats only mattered
Anyone else having no power at all on their finesse shots or just me
Its probably a bug and not a nerf as far as i know, finesses are ass rn
But if you still shoot finesse shots, use 4 bars of power atleast, that seemed to work for me
@JuliusSeizure999ah okay
Precision beats power. Timing beats speed.
@ThePondered you are not conor mcgregor
I remember the promos of FC26 all were “we listened you”, “your voice matters”, “this time we fixed everything”
anyone gets this message after gauntlet matches: The EA Servers are unable to process your request at the current moment.
If they keep the playstyles they need to make them like they were in fc24, they were way more balanced in that than the last two years. It felt like stats mattered the most then play styles gave an extra benefit, I remember running garrincha and Toty Best in cm in the 4321 and never noticed their passing being awful even though they had no passing play styles
And they said in the trailer we heard you 😅😅
it’s upsetting to see the state of fifa tbh.
Playstyles have ruined FIFA? Or name change? Come on guys. I agree that playstyles are trash, but FIFA is literally TRASH for 8 or 9 years now! Never forget all the complaints and bad times we had since FIFA PTSD 19 in every single year, it has been horrendous...
Yes the game is going from a fun game with a casino, to a casino with a trash game
i dont wanna get rid of playstyles just improve players and make stats actually relevant
In any other FIFA, a R9 available in icon swaps would be a no brainer, now I have second thoughts
100%%%
PES in the old days
That was fun
this is the same issue with all the goats games like cod, bf, fifa, 2k. they sell us with things that make us feel nostalgic or feel like because they added a certain thing whether it's a map like op metro which a creator just released on bf6 that the devs are promoting tf out of or cod bringing back older maps like raid, fringe, slums in bo7, and like icon swaps and ibarbo, gervinho, doumbia for fifa, all they need to do is sell you once on something u already love and it's a high high % that you're most likely to throw some more money at them, even if it's unrelated to the thing that brought you back in the first place since you'll get the 'well fuck it why not, one time won't hurt', and then you're cooked. the massive difference here is that you're essentially required (unless you're insanely lucky which is none of us realistically) to spend money on fifa exclusively to stay infront/on the curve. obv u can be really good and be t500 elite, 15-0 champs without these things, but we all know how champs/rivals is at the higher elos so i'm not even gonna get into it. at least on the other examples mentioned, they're all cosmetics, but ea have taken a 2k route and i'm afraid the company is cooked. and it doesn't help that they don't even rate us enough to make the gameplay borderline playable, so there's no future for ea and also people that spend 100s and 1000s+ have fucked us over because it's basically a legal scam lmao, your money is being taken every year to play with virtual cards so u can feel something and not even be the best, it's shameful and all ppl that spend money on this game deserve to be hacked on in champs. and some cc's like anthonyday, it's not even a joke anymore, it's genuinely a humiliation kink atp because how could someone with a reasonable amount of brain power even consider to spend that much, baring in mind he's obv seeing a return in his content and it's a write off, but there's no way he's coming out positive on that regard from the state of the game and it's mindblowing how ppl are supporting the very own things that've brought us from where we were with fifaralle and kazooie doing skilling to glory, and others doing div1 series, and trading etc, wallyson, kelvin, leite, azevedo,agbonlahor, totw's meaning something, skill expression in diff avenues. honestly i hope the company burns to the ground and another football title actually rises above ea gameplay and menus wise to continue on, because if fifa dies, nobody will go to efootball or the other games on the market; nobody will really play football games anymore, so something needs to be done asap, otherwise we are cooked
100%
Your exactly right but EA will not remove playsyles because they don’t want players have cards with 1k+ games on a card like older games, they want us changing our team every few weeks, I have R9 and seriously gold pina is better because R9 doesn’t have tiki or incisive pass , that’s a crazy place to be 😢
Fk EA .. Right now you got the Epstein shyt going on and the world being run by some sick ppl.. Pixels on a screen should be the least of your worries guys. Spend time with your loved ones and wish you all good health and blessings❤👊🏽
I have played UT since fifa 12.
Every year there are Broken mechanics and players.
Fifa 12 had insane hándicaps if you used op silvers against gold teams.
Fifa 13 had those insane low rated bundesliga players that basicly played like tots/toty.
The real problem whit Fifa IS it's EA being greedy,it's servers,the hacking,the overpriced packs,the pack weight...
But sadly people have short therm memory,in few months we Will start the hype train again for fifa 27 and how everything IS going to change to good 😅
1:09 cheers just reminded me to do my homework. Big up RTFM
Play styles, roles, positions, formations, tactics all ruined not only ultimate team, but career mode is torture.
Ive been playing this since its creation. Its gone and tied closly to cod and fortnight
I've been playing fifa since you were 3 years old, and I agree with your comment 💯 percent
The question now is - are they going to do the same shit every year? Release a promising game at the start and make it worse over time to squeeze people out of money? Now they start talking about playstyles again, because they ran out of design space - cant design any more good cards, because there are only so many good playstyles for each position. So now they want to nerf them, make rating more powerful and release high rated cards in promos to sell.
Roles and playstyles gotta go asap
and evolutions. take us back to fifa 15-19
@PodcastCentral333i miss customising my team to play the way i want playing players in positions that were fun for them and for me
Ea know that they are pack sellers they aint going nowhere
@PodcastCentral333 evos are one of the best parts of this game, no way the remove them nor should they
@jonttux9151its only good because we can customise the players to have the playstyles that are meta if playstyles didnt exist evos wouldnt be as popular because it would make a lot of promo players more useable roles and playstyles is what has destroyed the game gameplay wise
It's absolutely insane that some of the top tier icons aren't usable because of playstyles. We don't check stats first anymore, we check playstyles.
5:21 I’m sorry. I definitely run around with my DM and plug gaps….as soon as I click on my CB one wrong move and I’m now out of position and concede the goal.
And it’s still more fun than just running around like a headless hen while letting daddy ai defend for u but for u lil 14 y/o winning is Everything
@RainerioWinklerionaw not me. Sorry bud
That’s the whole point half of you and the community can’t defend and so we now have some people thinking they are good when they cant even play half of of the game of football which is defense. It’s like saying we might as well have the ai pass and dribble for us on offense as well, because “as soon as I click onto the ball dribbler, one wrong move and now I lost possession” Yes occasionally playing off to guess and intercept in lanes should be fine. But the ai should not bail out the player
It’s like a pride thing too. Off balling on defense the entire game is the softest most cowardly thing you can do in fifa. Like just tell me you are scared to take control of the outcome.
@tylerlufkin1537 yes I play off to keep my CB in position then I switch to them when the time is right. Unlike the clip Nick showed, the guy never switched off.
Finally someone talking about playstyles I miss when all we needed was quick agile players and not cluncky
We are all behind you captain
Curious to see if they go full 2k mode with "badge"-esque progregession. In 2k OVR hasnt mattered much in some years due to the power of badges
lmao at "we should just remove pina.. nah just kidding" all i can see is the fake smiling but angry inside rage comic 🥀🥀
Always respected how you didn't sell out. Keep it up man, even though it’s probably a lost cause, at least you’re trying.
Trivela is back too 💔🥀
They just straight up lied to our faces. That's what they do best.
Your the real one , always respected you because of your transparency of the state of the game
Imagine telling someone in fifa 20 that R9 would be a swaps reward but because he doesn’t have perfect play styles or they have an 88 evo pina there would be no need to grind the tokens to get him.
For Streamers that have made enough.
FC 26 has become a game that's unenjoyable for Streamers.
Been watching you for 7+ years hope u feel better dog
"remember gaming should be fun" bars
True also this is fc25 without trívelas and powershots
6:43 bring back player traits that didnt really do shit and make stats matter again!!!!!
We say they ruin it watch the same community cry when Finesse+ shots don’t go in every single time in a good angle.
Who wants the Creator to appear as happy when they are not? Me personally, I value authenticity. That's why you are the GOAT creator. You tell it how it is.
Mass False Bans for “Balance Transfer” on PC.
Unfortunately, it seems that the PC platform and its players are being treated with indifference. After the mass bans on consoles, everyone was unbanned within a few days. Meanwhile, we've been waiting for almost a month. We're investing our time and money, only to receive an unjustified ban from the transfer market. Perhaps we need to make our voices heard. It's important for us to unite or even reach out to a popular RUclipsr to spotlight this issue. I'm at a loss about what to do next. I’m really disappointed. Why isn’t anyone able to help us?
13:29 Who remembers when heading was a stat?
I am SOOOOO Glad that a content creator has finally said what I’ve been thinking since FC24. It didn’t add to the game. It only took away the ability to use certain features unless EA wanted you to
We are literally fucking hamsters on EAs wheel.
We live in a society
And you stay spinning the wheel
You. I clocked out time ago.
We who's we???
You’re all in denial. You’re watching an fc content creator. You’s haven’t quit. Keep running on the wheel.
Another big issue alongside playstyles is game modes... That's why it feels like no fun anymore and more like homework/chore. You're forced to play FUT, do SBCs/objectives and so on just to get some playable players (very often you don't even care about those players and don't like them IRL)... And if you stop, you're falling too much behind and already in disadvantage. In any other game, you could pickup from where you left and your skill will decide, but now in FC you also need time & grind to even have a chance to play & have some fun. Also the whole system is built on playing vs random people and not with/vs your friends - that alone kills a lot of fun, because it might be fun for competitive/ranked gaming, but not for the rest majority of casual gamers. Imagine how fun it might be to have a possibility to create a custom tournament for like 4 of your friends, pick any cards and create any team you want, play that tournament over Friday evening and just be done with it... Or similar to a draft mode for solo players, but when you can pick the team you want and don't need to spend money to have possibility to play...And there's no need for any rewards for those, because the only reward that matters is having fun & joy.
It’s so funny how game logic like this could be solved so easily by a team of devs but ea thinks updates like that should just be a new game
In this game you can’t steal the ball from someone spinning around like a fidgets spinner but when you try to do step overs or and kind of rs skill moves you lose the ball automatically. The only way to hold the ball (even with top cards) is to run horizontal and hold onto rb/r1. It’s ridiculous
It may even be detrimental to EA because outside of icons maybe 2 promo cards are actually useable nowadays
EA tried to insert a similar concept from their American Football game, Madden, where players in UT can have abilities to make them better, but the difference is that in Madden, the abilities don't break the game or a player is unusable because they don't have a certain ability. This is my first FUT since 22 and I agree that these play styles are too overpowering and dependent and feel like too much of a need rather than a bonus.
THEY WILL NEVER remove playstyles. Its how they sell packs, sell the sesson pass, sell daily evos. Will never happen to far gone to go back
was gonna study for my exams but this changes everything 🔥🔥🔥
Just make them give a small stat boost imo.
playstyles made the game better. im 900 SR in elite
I started playing ultimate team in fifa21 and oh my god do i miss those games , they werent flawless but damn they were so much more fun to play. The first week of fc26 felt like we would have the best game of the last 4 years only for ea to throw everything away just to please the kids that have no hands. Im not a good player by any means but damn was the first month so fun to play, now playing fc26 is more exhausting than actually working
I hypothesize that cards always had playstyles that's why back in the day certain cards played well above its stats. they just made them public in the last couple years.
i absolutely agree , game was fun at thunder promo and on until TOTY and literally 99.99% of the players not packing a single TOTY ,its js crazy
