Re: EA SPORTS FC 24 OS Community Sliders
Is anyone else doing a lower league CM? I’m talking 1.5 - 2 star teams. Would be intrigued to hear your feedback on the gameplay if so.
I’m currently doing a CM in League One with Charlton. Using the latest set, Legendary/Default, 8 min halves, Semi controls. For what it’s worth, I think the current set is brilliant and the game plays as well as it has since the game released when I’m using top division sides. However, I’m really not enjoying playing with lower-rated teams.
Everything feels so slow, heavy and sluggish, even on Default pace. The players almost feel unresponsive at times. I saw someone a couple of weeks ago describe the ball feeling like “an inflated beach ball that’s half full with water”. This is probably as best as I can describe it too when using lower rated players. Even on 42 pass speed, I’m seeing CPU players changing animation to run towards (and intercept) the ball before it reaches the intended user player. I know this is down to the lower passing stats, higher pass error and first touch control etc. But I do think there is cause to reduce these values specifically for lower division teams with how it currently plays/feels.
Obviously teams in League One aren’t going to be able to play fast-paced, one touch football with little to no mistakes like Premier League teams can. But that also needs to be balanced with the game still feeling enjoyable and rewarding; at the moment I’m just not getting that. Again, with higher rated teams the game feels amazing - but when using these 64-68 rated players it almost feels like a chore to try and play. The GKs are terrible on 55 too, I’m seeing some really dreadful save animations, like shots straight at them that they dive away from, or parry straight into the air.
I know the sliders are just a baseline and it’s impossible to perfectly cater to all teams, tactics and styles of play. But I’m just wondering what I need to change to get as much enjoyment out of using lower rated teams. Maybe pass error down to 50, or 55? GKs back up to 60? Pass speed up to 45? Before anyone suggests deleting the DLC file, disconnecting from the servers etc, I have already tried all of that and it’s not the problem. Having played lots of games now with different 1.5 - 2 star teams, it’s just an issue with how the game feels when using these lower rated players.
Would be good to hear if anyone else feels the same or if it’s just me.
