Is there a way to remap the triggers for Attack, but not for Defense?
I really want to use R1 for jostling (as in PES) instead of L2 (FIFA). But when I remap, that also changes it to the attack controls, which I don't want.Comment

Just a reminder that Xbox can play the full game now by switching your region to New Zealand.Comment

My impression is I can’t believe they even released this game playing the way it is on career mode.

Goalkeepers, Referees
...the goalkeepers are crap... like a lazy bag of potatoes... who programmed this crap...? Has nothing to do with animations of the 21th century.. if it were Fifa 2000...ok... bit this is pathetic... you don´t know how to programm..
Referees: what a bug... never seen so many yellow cards for - nothing... on the other side, the CPU can rip my players leg off - nothing happens... the referee always seems to blow in favor of the cpu.. the running of the players has improved a bit, but no milestone... I am disappointed and it seems, the programmers just made a copy of FIFA 20 with minor adjustments.. that´s it...Comment

Ok, I’ve had a week at it in Career Mode with United on Legendary and various versions of sliders...
Simply unplayable in the main.
Defending is nigh on impossible, you cannot win the ball without fouling 90% of the time, every foul is a yellow card. Things you are carded for the AI relies on as staples of their defensive game and go unpunished. Every tackle by the AI is either a foul or clairvoyance. The COM defenders ability to stick out a leg, predicting the path of a pass or change of direction, perfectly time and control the ball instantly while incapacitating your attacking player is incredible. When the AI attacks, the jockey function is so broken they just wait forever an attempt, change direction accordingly and just stroll past while your defender continues going slowly in the wrong direction, regardless of what you do, for long enough to allow the COM to get where it wants to go. The AI of your defending teammates so bad they follow no runs, sense no danger, vacate positions and stand and watch as the COM takes time to flick the ball up and basically do whatever they feel like within 25 yards of goal until they score. Podence of Wolves at 5’5 and 9 stone effortlessly holding off Harry Maguire and pushing him about, COM players jumping over the ball to turn their back on defenders and using The Force to stop your defender getting around or through them for as long as it takes until a simple pass appears, every time they get the ball, as an attacker it is nigh on impossible to shield the ball from the COM defenders, doesn’t matter what you do. Player defenders have absolutely no recovery pace, COM defenders capable of making up 10 yards in 3 paces. Player clearing headers, passes, big hoofs to COM every time, in the most ridiculous of circumstances allowing an easy goal, COM clearances perfect, pinpoint cross field passes or counter attacker launching balls. All loose balls spinning and bobbling to COM players, who win absolutely every 50/50. Goalkeepers the square root of useless and their distribution nothing short of a joke.
I’ve been 1 or 2 down inside 20 minutes of all but about 2 games, absolutely powerless to stop it. Good fun turning it round tbf, but the number of times I’ve got it back to 3-3 or so and all players suddenly stop moving or reacting allowing COM to get a last minute winner or equaliser is painful.
Passing is poor. Everything under hit and misplaced, ball bobbling along as if you’re playing on a cabbage patch in the PL. Receiving players reacting as if they’re ankle deep in the mud, holding still or taking an awful touch, waiting to allow COM players to catch them, or they just stand behind defenders/midfielders offering no angle for a pass or inclination to move. Any forward pass made will pick a line and pace that favours the COM defender in all but the clearest of situations. Lofted through ball is utterly useless, even the slightest touch sending the ball flying out of play if it suits the COM, or the longest press sending the ball 3 yards to the chest of the defender, crossing likewise. Corners may as well be goalkicks as they magnetise to the goalkeeper who is invincible, capable of leaping over entire defences and attacks in a single bound to punch clear. Shooting is decent, too many off the post and back out though. Freekicks (non shooting opportunities) pointless. Throw-ins infuriating, as the receiving player turns to a statue as the ball is gently lobbed toward them allowing COM to nip in in any situation of competing for the ball. Players movement feels jerky, sluggish and at times like you aren’t even in control and animations look out of place. The desperation for the game to slip into scripts and animation in order to look good fails, both in looking good and making the game fun to play.
I like the new career mode features, training is laborious, but moving the right way. Transfers have improved, but still too easy in everything except loaning players out that you don’t wish to offer an option to buy on. The new youth player section is good. Could do with adding sim able youth/u23 games to allow you to get games into them and get sharpness for squad players. The sharpness/fitness thing is good but very hard to balance.
Lack of 3rd kits is ridiculous. I can’t believe that in 2020 they still haven’t managed to offer different netting styles, textures and types to match the various versions on offer in real life, nearly all exactly the same. Pitches don’t look quite right.
All in all, pathetic.
I sincerely hope this is because they’ve piled all their efforts into next gen and amazement is around the corner, as things stand, I want my money back.Comment
