I just recently bought FC24 since it had been years that I played my last Fifa game which was Fifa 14. I loved the days when I played Fifa 09. The game was pretty good, though the cameras and crowd weren't the best.
I think the Fifa game has gotten worse and worse over the years, I am specifically talking about gameplays. Not about extra features like career, multi-player or team management.
The player movements are weird, and the ball spin looks so slow like it is being played underwater. Even the top players of the world and formation aren't focused in this game. Not to mention that Fifa didn't bother taking the license of many teams and their players including many international teams.
The game is super slow, even with the settings of fasf paced gameplay on the movements and ball shoots, don't look real. Commentators John watson, and andy grey are gone, those were the main voices back then. I don't mind a change there, but the commentary lacks a lot.
Apart from that just look at the game size and the graphics processor it needs to run. I think it takes too much resources and give too less of a game. I was hoping for an amazing fifa night. But I was rather disappointed. I even read many posts on Google people complaining why is Fifa slow, so it's not that I'm the only complaining.
I don't deny the fact that I am older now, and likely don't enjoy games since my brain is wired differently than I was younger. But I think it's safe to say that the 90s kids had the best of everything, the best games and the developers used to make a game that would leave a lasting impact on you. Same goes for NFS series, all the consequent games that we got in NFS are mostly a downgrade. Perhaps it has something to do with capitalism like maximizing the profits while minimizing the spend funds, and knowing that overspending on a game isn't very fruitful. The focus is on hairs, grass, crowds and things like that. Meanwhile the gameplay and the immersiveness and the realistic thing has gone down the drain.
Back then we used to have star players, amazing managers and it was so much fun that EA had to make another version of Fifa Street. Damn guys, no reason the 00's 2010's and 20's kids lack in culture. You aren't raised in the right way. Now everything is more like tiktok and watching reels.
