This game is a disgrace to the FIFA company. The game itself should not even be considered a game where every single match is scripted.

DYNAMIC DIFFICULTY ADJUSTMENT

EA has filed a patent for a system called Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment (DDA). All info regarding this patent can be found on google. TLDR for the patent; is that the game creates a pattern for the player where the game will advantage the player in any scenario it can. Sometimes this plays for you and sometimes against you. The game does this in very simple ways. e.g. goalkeeper catching the ball, the referee signaling a foul or not, you AI teammates going for a ball or not, your AI teammates passing to you when clearly they have no way of passing without the pass getting intercepted and these are just the barebone minimum examples I can give you. No game ever should be considered "competitive" when these kinds of things are implemented into a game in order to increase the games playtime.

TECHNICAL ISSUES

This game has technical issues I have never ever seen in my life in any game ever. I am sure that even games like Fallout 76 on launch were better than this game after 11 months. The first issue is the horrible stuttering some people get. The game becomes unplayable and the only fix for it is to lock the game to 30 fps, WHERE THE FPS LOCK DOESN'T EVEN WORK.

Another issue me and most of my friends encountered is the audio issues. We all have exceptionally well audio devices, ranging from AudioTechnica studio Headphones to some even having external audio interfaces. The game has white noise and crackling issues. The only fix for this is the lower the audio buffering which results in CONSTANT white noise. The only fix to the occasional white noise bugs is to make the white noise play all the time.

Whereas me and my friends didn't have this issue I have read that a lot of people have had issues launching the game which I'm not surprised of.

Lastly for the technical issues the game is riddled with unplayable technical glitches. The game has so many more issues. For example:
1 FPS bug when using a corner (makes the game unplayable)
Controller disconnecting but working in the pause menu of the game (only fix I have found as of yet is to relaunch the game)
Not being able to use the controller in the MAIN MENU because the game automatically sends you back to the option that you are on.
These are just the ones I have personally seen and I am sure most people have seen thousands more of these.

TLDR; The game is not a competitive game and should never be considered one with DDA being in it. The game has optimization issues even for High End PC's.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IF YOU REALLY WANT TO PLAY IT PLAY IT ON EA PLAY AND YOU'LL UNDERSTAND
