EA SPORTS FC 24 OS Community Sliders

Re: EA SPORTS FC 24 OS Community Sliders

I just had the exact same experience as others describe here and it majorly affects every aspect of the gameplay in such a way that the sliders almost seem irrelevant in the first place.

Played this afternoon, game felt fine. Then turned it on at night and it's like someone replaced FC24 with FIFA 11 while I was gone. Deleted settings and DLC, no difference.

It just doesn't resemble the launch version of itself in the slightest. Where physicality, team tactics etc. actually meant something and battles for possession and tiny deflections actually led to fun, realistic situations. Where I could concede a goal and be like "I absolutely loved that, that was sick".

I'm not sure what's more frustrating, the "run-pass-pass-run-pass" sad version of the gameplay, or the fact that there seems to be two versions of the game existing right now and no-one seems to really understand why this occurs or how it can be fixed. Even when the game runs normally, placebo sometimes kicks in and I start questioning whether it's playing fine or not...

Sorry for venting, but this community is the only place that understands the frustration and might actually be able to do something about it too.

I noticed DoctorActionRio actually getting a response from EA regarding lack of match intros and why they chose to remove them. Could we potentially raise this issue as well? For example request that the offline community gets the same option as in NHL series of selecting which gameplay version to play? It's a long shot but this current state of things is a bit of a mess.

I understand very well what you are going through because we feel the same things. All these problems were also in FIFA 23 last year. I even mentioned this 2-3 times here. Many people stated that there was a placebo effect. However, with FC24, EA increased the dose of this. What is even more saddening is that FC24 is very It has great potential. There is no reason why it cannot be a great football game. We saw this when the game first came out. In fact, everything was going well until the 3rd update. After the update, the game speed was different in each game and the hectic, panicky gameplay returned. I wish there was a way. I wish I could go back to before the update. I wrote this on EA forums and other forums. Even many people who have careers like us have written the same kind of comments. I hope things will change with Update 4. Despite everything, I would like to thank the team here who created slider sets and made the game more playable by putting in effort. .

Do you experience this on PS5 and Xbox or is it also present on PC? You could upload a match video of this, so we can see what it's like when the game gets going. I haven't experienced anything like this on PC. There have been faster players, but I can't imagine this one.

It's on PC and I'm not making videos of the issue. I'm too disgusted to even start the game.


This has been a thing for years. It's not new to me. However, it's always vanished after a game or a restart and it's never been this ridiculous or obvious. It actually feels like EA are trolling me it's so absurd.


I will try it one more time later today but if it's still the same I'm uninstalling the game and EA can stick it in their proverbial. I really have had enough of their disgusting behaviour and contempt towards me as a career mode player. After having them all since the first in the early 90's this one is my last one. From what I just wrote you can guess my age and realise this is not an idle teenage threat.



Of course, that's what they want. I don't know how many have realised what the "business" plan is over there but from looking at the many complaining about the lack of pre-match presentation they removed over on the official forum it doesn't seem like many have twigged it but EA have obviously decided to kill off the offline game entirely and in phases. First they dump FIFA and in their first non-FIFA version they start pulling the official pre-match presentations and making aspects of the game intolerably worse with little frustrations everywhere. Don't even get me started on the bugs. You will start to see them dumping other licenses and leagues, I'm pretty certain, until the number of offline players dwindles to the point where they can justify the axeing of it. Actually, I'm pretty sure it's already justified when the slugs in suits over there calculated FUT profits compared to licencing costs for leagues and presentations and the costs recouped from game sales.



The idea will be to have a game that they have to pay little to no licences for and only exists as the generic slot machine that is "Ultimate" Team" (which should actually be illegal to under 18's to anyone with a brain and moral compass) so the revenue stream is nothing but pure profit. Maximum money for minimum effort.


This is what happens when free market capitalism is captured by monopolising corporations. Art and quality goes in the bin and you are left with overpriced generic sludge. And after enough time people will never realise what was lost because it will be all they ever knew. It's why your local baker that made delicious quality bread has been replaced by a supermarket that produces inedible bread shaped insults to good taste and countless other examples.



I have to thank you all for your efforts with the sliders over the years. Without it I would have given up on this game many a year ago. These sliders really have made the game worth playing. Truly has but EA and I have come to the end of the road. I won't be buying anything from them anymore.


In the interests of science I will try the game again later today and let you know which version I get but if it's the same then it's gone.

Re: EA SPORTS FC 24 OS Community Sliders

I also feel like that magic and much more organic dynamic of the game is already gone. But it’s hard to tell if it’s myself falling into patterns after a few games and unconsciously trying to exploit the same repetitive attacking play in the desperate chase for a goal, or if it’s really the game itself transforming into a much worse experience. Will try deleting dlc and profile settings for the thousand time and give it another go.

I don’t know if I already said this but they really should consider making it into two different games. Wouldn’t there be enough “sim players” to justify career mode to be its own game? To me it seems obvious that they would be able to profit from two crowds. Or are they scared that FUT players will realize that the more realistic experience is also much more fun?

I agree with most of what you say. Left to their own devices, game developers will cut corners to make as much profit as possible, like any business in any industry. EA in particular have been relying on the cash cow of Ultimate Team and other microtransactions to the detriment of their games. Why would they spend money, time and resources making other aspects of their games better and more engaging if they can milk one game mode for massive profits?

The only solution would be for widespread and global regulations and bans on microtransactions/loot boxes in video games, or at the very least, make it that any game with microtransactions are PEGI 18+/ESRB Adult Only.

EA would seriously have to reconsider their business strategy for their sports games if they went from PEGI 3 to PEGI 18 due to gambling/microtransactions. They would be forced to decide between keeping microtransactions and loot boxes but their games being limited to 18+ or get rid of microtransactions in their games entirely to remain PEGI 3/ESRB Everyone.

It's not just a PS 5 problem. Started happening to me last night on PC the same time as the game started ignoring the sliders and playing like all the players did cocaine before running onto the pitch.



Unplayable. Not hyperbole. Literally unplayable.

Don't confuse "game developers" with greedy corporate suits that don't remotely understand the product they are selling and whose only focus is on the number at the bottom line.


I'm willing to bet that many of the developers of this game are also disgusted with the lack of progress, failure to address bugs that have existed for years and general shameful presentation and experience. Those that are actually qualified in their positions. Those that are really interested in delivering a quality product and have been crying out for more highly skilled staff to help make it happen only to have their prayers answered by way of unqualified incompetent dolts picked for the communist ideals of "equity and inclusion" rather than capability and merit. Forced "Equality of outcome" rather than "equality of opportunity" and all that dangerous drivel.



In response to your point regarding 18+. Yes, you're completely right. If the politicians understood what loot boxes and things like Ultimate Team really were they would understand that they need to be regulated to adults only. But they don't so they have not passed the required legislation to force the issue. And if FC24 was for adults only they would soon realise that which they clearly already know and that is that most adults have enough intelligence to realise that opening loot boxes at tremendous cost is money for nothing and for morons only and we don't have access to mum and dad's credit cards for the parasites at EA to steal from.


Consequently, they would have to focus on delivering a quality product again.


But that won't happen because all the old and out of touch politicians that don't understand it won't regulate against it and those young enough to understand it are easily corruptable because they are already corrupted.



The future of football games is looking quite bleak with these degenerates in control of everything, I'm afraid.

Nothing. We suffer, that is what we are doing.

Re: EA SPORTS FC 24 OS Community Sliders

Hey guys...I know this is a very popular thread so we know we can get responses here but could we maybe post these complaints about profile deletions and brightness in a dedicated thread for them? We are very far off the topic of sliders.

Changelog & Updates:

Timestamp: 10/18/23 | 8:09 AM CST -- Please place conversations about profile deletions, sudden fast gameplay, etc, onto its own thread or in the general impressions thread for FC24. This is a slider thread and those topics are not related to sliders at all. This is related to the 5th rule of the Thread. Thank you.

5. Please keep general impressions in the FIFA impressions thread, not here. This is a solution based thread, and general complaints will be ignored. We understand each iteration of FIFA has issues, what game doesn't, but we are given the tools to find workarounds. Remember, this is a slider thread, which means the sample size of play is significantly increased. Chances are if you are having an issue, we have most likely looked at it.

I understand your point but when the sliders cease working entirely it's relevant, I think. Can't discuss improving sliders until we have resolved the issue of them working.

Agreed, I think the vast majority of us have experienced these issues at this point and we all know how incredibly frustrating it is. But, this is not the thread to discuss them on. I’ve just had to scroll through about 5 pages before finding any posts discussing the sliders themselves.

Personally still enjoying V4 (Legendary, Slow) although I have increased the CPU pass error from 72 to 75, in line with shot error, just to try and increase the likelihood of them misplacing a pass and keeping the ball alive in the middle of the pitch for longer.

I wish there was something we could do about CPU-controlled user players sprinting backwards to track runners too, as I mentioned in a previous post. (Video evidence here: https://youtu.be/mZACnNncVqw?si=jy6llJ2oUhrlTkv0)

Next time you see this are you able to use a second controller to view the AIs tactics? If so can you check if they're on direct passing? I've checked a few of my games and it seems connected. If so, it may be more of a game code item than something we can address with sliders.
