It's not a bad simulator if you don't play FUT lol. You can actually apply the defensive and offensive set up structure in real life to help yourself and team

But yea it gets arcade-y quietly with some game modes but that's ok

The problem is FUT (or whatever it's called nowadays) makes more money than actual game sales. There's no incentive to make the core game good because they've managed to successfully hook a generation on microtransactions.

I used to like FIFA, and The Journey was probably the best, most unique thing they did for many years - but the game itself is now a vessel for FUT.

It's still not a bad football stimulator. It's easy to notice if you actually played competitive football

It's one of those classic games where it's realistic....up until some utter bullshit happens that would never happen in real life (except sometimes said bullshit does happen in real life).

It statistically happens in real life. Not in the nature at which is shows graphically. Look how many times around the world last season where defenders passed back to their keeper and their keeper completely missed it, resulting in an own goal. Or when strikers completely wiffed sitters at an open goal
