The sentiment around this game is largely negative with many players expressing frustration over the technical issues that make it unplayable on multiple occasions. Despite some appreciation for the graphics and specific features, the overwhelming feedback points towards a lack of reliable gameplay and poor optimization, particularly on PC. There is a sense of disappointment with the repetitive gameplay that seems unchanged from previous iterations, and further dissatisfaction with the heavy monetization focus in Ultimate Team, overshadowing some of the game's potential. While there are divided opinions on gameplay improvements, the consensus suggests that they are insufficient to overcome the game's major deficiencies.
