In general, we often are not objective enough, and not least come to an early conclusion, and not least the placebo effect, which is quite clear many times. Having said that, they have changed the speed of the game - I think. What I think is interssant why?...
1. Have they changed anything? (speed, other?)
2. Why? (end of July?)
3. Have they made the code with the World Cup (if they are different?)
4. (Personally) why is the game's last patch always the best?
5. Does the last patch have roots for the next demo version? (Why are users often happy with the demo version, is it because the end points towards the start ?)
My thin theory is that they are testing things or getting closer to what we call a simulation game at the last patch of the year. EA is not just a company where all sides work on FIFA 19. They are divided, they have people already there is working on FIFA 20-21. Therefore it could be that they always choose these tests when the season draws to an end, because the largest portion of the user already thinking about 19, and is totally indifferent to 18 (maybe less angry fut`s?=
). Again, I'm aware of a placebo and the
thin theory, maybe I'm in the middle of one, lol ?. Everything is releativt and if the individual believes the game has become better, good for him or her. EA has one (more) satisfied customer. But because I think the game right now is good, my list of things that could improve has not become much less, less frustrated or not.
