Slowly, this game is making me crazy.
Recently I told about my problems creating chances and having fun at playing FIFA 18, on full manual controls and world class difficulty with OS sliders and slow game speed. I just switched to normal game speed. So what shall I tell you?
I wrecked Vitoria Setubal 6:0 with FC Porto and beat Huddersfield clearly 4:0, playing Arsenal. Suddenly, the game plays completely different for me. I really only changed the game speed! Finally I'm able to create chances, play through balls which actually have the chance to find a teammate and I have enough time in front of goal to bring dangerous shots onto goal which aren't always reflected or blocked. After going down to world class without much success before, now I ironically have to think about going back up to legendary as it's almost too easy on normal game speed for me now. I'd come to the conclusion that the game speed could play a role in adjusting the game difficulty this year.
Did anybody else try to play with OS sliders on normal AND slow speed and have similar experiences?
In recent years I always feared of the game being too fast on normal speed, but in those two matches the game really felt perfectly controllable for me for the first time in FIFA 18.
Edit, the game stats (in German though) from the Arsenal - Huddersfield match:
