I decided after 10 years since playing FIFA 13 I would return to FIFA (now EA Sports FC) and as expected, nothing has changed. Gameplay is no different and the AI appears to be poorer than in older titles with Goalkeepers in particular failing to save the simplest of shots, and can easily be manipulated up front. Short passes can fail to go to the nearest player and go elsewhere, or players won't bother to intercept the ball. Referees give red cards for the slightest touch and you can easily get away with a yellow card just from breaking someone's legs. In regards to new updates, they seem to breed new bugs and it feels like the game gets even worse with each one. I don't think I need to touch Ultimate Team's focus on gambling and greed as this is a typical practice by EA. As of recently, EA have been caught out using DDA (Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment) which comes at no surprise as all FIFA titles, in particular FUT mode uses scripting to favour one team over another, artificially forcing one team to become difficulty adjusted depending on your skill level and how well you do. It can make matches very unfair. EA typically deny their wrongdoings but as we know, they're terrible liars.
A visually stunning game with masterfully crafted environments and intelligent puzzle design. Combat sucks regarding stealth mechanics; AI automatically know your precise location after losing track of you whilst hiding, so you're better off going full John Wick with the shotgun and fully upgraded Vicar Mark II. The story is okay and wraps up the trilogy fine, if not a little lacking in some regard.
