It’s not the same at all. It’s way slower. For what it’s worth, I don’t understand how anyone is enjoying it. The signs are there as to what is going to happen with this - everyone playing drop back. If people want realism from a game of FIFA then that’s fair enough but it’s not for me. I don’t want to be grinding out 20 games every weekend with 1 or 2 goals max per game. We’re in Fifa 20 territory.

I hope they keep them like that, they still work if timed perfectly, but you don't see them every second of every game now.
It's become about pass and move which is exactly as it should be for me personally.
I’ll be honest that’s what I want, I think fifa 20 was better than 21. Couldn’t stand the online gameplay last year. The defending was fundamentally broken and midfield ai was a joke with the lack of tracking back. Personally I would rather score 1 or 2 legitimately good goals rather than exploiting 5 and conceding 4 at the other end due to broken defensive AI. I am going over to a friends tonight to play this for the first time so I’ll know more then but actually your post sounds abit more reassuring for me.
I've got pretty lucky with packs from the SBCs so far. Just pulled De Bruyne from the hybrid nations one, and got IF Toney in another. Toney has been a game changer so far with my starter squad, decent pace, finishing and strength make him a proper handful.
Fair enough mate. For me, Fifa 20 was genuinely the worst I’ve ever played but this is shaping up to match it. We’ll see what happens with the first patch.
My team:
did all the SBCs and packed Haaland, ASM, Alaba, Modric, and one or two others. Ended up with like 200 odd K and managed to build this.
I've just done the Marquee Matchup SBCs and best I pulled was Raphinha
Have you done the hybrid nations/leagues etc. ones? They’re all really good value for money generally speaking. They’re about 7-12k a pop per SBC and once you’ve done the block of 4 the chances of making your money back at minimum from those packs is pretty high.
Awesome team, so the packs that you receive arent untradable? I should look into this when I receive my Ultimate Edition points.My team:

Planning to play drafts, receive loads of packs and then do the SBC's.
Yep — all the ones like “hybrid nations; leagues; league and nations” are all tradable with some good packs. It’s definitely amazing value for money early game. If you check one of the sites like Futwiz or Futbin they even have the SBC solutions that other helpful users have uploaded.
Yeah, done those too. Didn't get anything major, but you're right, they're good value.
I think my pack luck has run dry after getting Haaland, Sancho, Van Dijk, Oblak and Bruno in the first week last year
The problem is, and this thread illustrates it well. There are two different demands from two different groups of fifa players. Ultimate team fans just want a tight online gameplay experience, fast paced, arcadey just like the mode in general. The other group like myself want a solid slow paced offline game while being able to enjoy the odd online seasons game that feels somewhat realistic. I don’t think the two can currently coincide within the same game and so instead ea flip flop around and ultimately cater to their money maker of ultimate team. It would be better for them to make two separate games these days.
Or in the game options where you can pick between Slow & Fast, make that the two difference. You can even select that as a preference when playing online.
I much prefer a slower less ping pong game.
Seriously mate, seek help. Why are you even playing it given the anger it clearly stirs within you?
. I was just showing you the improvements.Anyone?
EA play early access, 10 hours play time. Normal game out next week on Friday or Monday if you preordered ultimate edition.
Thanks.
EDIT: I’m brain dead. Duh! I thought you replied to my comment about keepers being way op and I also managed to forget that I even posted about the skills — completely agreed that it’s good that it’s more about movement but it’s not fair on players whom spent countless hours perfecting these moves as well imo. There should be a balance for a good football game. But I’m very hopeful for this fifa. So far so good imo.
It needs some adjustments personally speaking. I was clean through on goal a lot of the times, first time shots et al. All these chances coming from moving the ball and working towards the angles that would give me the best possible opportunity to score. It’s just frustrating now as there is no rhyme or reason as to when the ball will go in.
I get that it’s about movement but it’s the way I’ve always been playing and it’s decidedly more difficult to put chances away in this game than since I can remember. One can also tell by the amount of 0-0 draws I’ve had — must have had more 0-0’s in this FIFA already than in the past decade. So yeah, just tweak it slightly imo.
I don't play online tbf. Single player has definitely improved.
That I agree. The runs and passing seem better. But online it's mostly the same. Tackles are still pointless. Though it doesn play miles better then 21..
I like how many stats there are now. The blocked shots one will be interesting because that's clearly still an issue.
Had three goals scored against me online where they've had a shot on goal, my defender has blocked it and it's fallen perfectly for an onrushing attacker to score.
It's that or I just have multiple of my own shots blocked regardless of distance. The hit box is way too big.

Also conceded this online
Is Kasper on the PSG payroll? 90th minute and was an equaliser as well.Of course I tried to play as Leicester and have a fun match but came up against Messi, Mbappe and Neymar for the 6th time.
Yep and I find it interesting coming from a similar game this year in MLB The Show 21 because the online mode defaults to a harder difficulty and the community has to learn how to adapt to things like smaller PCI and more difficult pitching.
Turning it on yesterday, I was like yep, this is FIFA isn't it - very fast-paced and undeniably arcade-like in how instantaneous it all is. I gather that's how people like to play; a dreamy game where everything is silky smooth.
As they say, it's probably just not my bag, Clive.
Anyone else lagging? The last 5 games I have played had stop/start lag and it’s killing me online.

Leicester fans behind the goal celebrate as well.
Low driven is back
My 10 hours are up. 
My 10 hours are up.
Does it cut you off if you're mid game?
It did last year
My 10 hours are up.
What console are you on?
Yes.
Not really sure what I’m supposed to be doing online? 99% of the time the passing is utter dogshit and sometimes things work and other times they’re atrocious. I have no idea wtf is going on half the time.
Paying money to EA to get better players. That's how you win.
Feels like everyone has AI defending too. I’ve done multiple fake shots, turns, etc around the box and they’ve moved their defender in the direction im turning every single time.
Yeah and now my companion app will not let me in. Says I’m logged into another device.
Fake shots et al have been completely nerfed Imo. Skill moves have been nuked.
Just feels like you can’t fool anyone
they’re instantly in the way any time a defender gets even close to you.I would disagree with this. There are a lot of bad bad players with unbelievable teams. In fact, most times that I’ve been given a beating was by very easily getable meta teams. Though I completely agree that EA just looking anyway to make a profit.
Yeah I was running about messing up every single attack with fake shots first few games. Fake shots are my favourite — Very satisfying when done right. I don’t spam them or anything but I’m still pissed that they’re pretty useless thus far. Hopefully EA balance it out with a patch.Just feels like you can’t fool anyone
