The general sentiment towards the game is largely negative despite some praise for its gameplay improvements and graphical updates. Many players are frustrated by technical problems and persistent bugs, making the game often unplayable, especially on PC. While some aspects like defending and new features receive mixed reviews, the biggest obstacle seems to be the inconsistent and unreliable online experience.

  • Some players appreciate the realism in the gameplay, specifically mentioning realistic player movements and skilled-based manual defending.
  • The game has been praised for its new features and modes, which some players find engaging and enjoyable.

    • Negative Points

  • Numerous reviews cite persistent technical issues, including severe input lag, frequent crashes, and controller connectivity problems, especially on PC.
  • The game is heavily criticized for not addressing long-standing bugs, with many players complaining about issues that have persisted from previous iterations.
  • Many users are frustrated with the perceived 'pay-to-win' nature of Ultimate Team, citing unfair advantages given to those who spend more money and an imbalance in matchmaking.

    • Mixed Points

  • Defending in the game is a point of contention; some players appreciate the skill gap it introduces, while others find it frustrating due to unrealistic or ineffective mechanics.
  • The game’s similarity to previous editions elicits mixed reactions; some appreciate the familiarity, while others feel it’s a mere reskin without substantial innovation.

    • Common Themes

  • Performance and optimization issues on PC are a widespread concern, impacting the overall experience negatively.
  • There is a strong consensus that the game requires major fixes to bugs and technical issues to be fully enjoyed.
  • The discrepancy between offline and online gameplay is notable, with many enjoying the offline modes but finding online play nearly unmanageable due to lag and other issues.
