I played every Fifa since PES 2008, I know that I'm talking about 😅😅 idk how old you are/when you started playing the series, but trust me, it was way better then. I get the idea of the "new" defence type, back then. In a simulator it was, in theory, a great idea. But something along the way didn't click, it was fine-ish for a few years, but then every year it just seems to get worse and worse, sadly. I have up buying the game eventually and play a bit when it's free on PS Plus service, but I feel the same every single year lol.
I did too and it rlly wasn’t that much better back then it’s mostly just nostalgia blindness. Idk if u mean pes or fifa but Fifa career used to have different options but the most depth in management u had was custom positions on the pitch. the new games did add a lot of strategy
I meant FIFA, specifically. I was the guy in my group of friends that started playing ISS2 while everyone was still playing FIFA, and the started to see the FIFA potential in 2009 while everyone was playing PES 2009 and so one, calling me mad 😅
Idk how really to explain it, but since they changed the defense, and later made it almost mandatory, I feel at some point, the players started to kinda slightly "drift" in the pitch with the new system, and it made defending extremely frustrating for me, to the point to eventually just almost stopped playing. Which was really sad, because I absolutely loved early editions of FUT
idk bro defence has always been mandatory lol it’s soccer have u ever played in real life 😂? i meant more so career mode tho i never got into ultimate team to be honest, that’s what i meant by better sim

Nah man. I played EAFC25 and in a lot of ways the realistic normal mode is better
