    Had my first instance of this in the new game last night btw. Went up against a 60 rated squad with 30 something chemistry, bumped up to legendary for what's usually a comfortable win where I'll typically reach double digit goals. Ended up losing 2-1, they scored with a GK playing striker and on an own goal in the 89th minute, I had 4 shots on target.

    Did you remember to turn off competitive play? Outside the “You’re not winning this” matches, I am fine on legendary but I was miserable the one match I forgot to turn it off

    No but it hasn't been a problem with any of the other teams I've faced on legendary, I really only jump up to that level for the 60 rated squads though, funny thing is I'm pretty sure this was the worst squad I'd faced so far

    Co-op has been a great addition to FUT but there’s room for more improvement. Allow us to do the Squad Battle objectives in co-op as well as Live Friendlies. I’m loving the friendlies objectives, great addition this year.

    Is there any reason my manager started dressing up in a full kit during the games in Career Mode?

    it's hilarious, a few weeks back the manager I created turned into a bald man in a suit during negotiations, then the other guy turned into bald suit man's twin, and now they're both wearing those goofy kits

    For some reason a full kit wanker mystery man wearing neon green boots has taken the place of my manager during contract negotiations. Doesn't even look like my guy.

    Has anyone had their young player's potential change from season to season? Had a couple guys 90-94 that now only have 80-85 potential. In the actual squad, not the youth squad.

    I thoroughly enjoy this game, but again '20 was the first Fifa I've ever really played so haven't experienced the relative disappointment that comes with a decline over the years

    There aren't any songs that have lyrics discussing macaroni & cheese and cornbread, so it's automatically worse than last years.

    a 59 rated rb just scorched a left footed chest high volley at the edge of the box off the clearance attempt of a 3rd corner in a row 4 minutes into a +1 stoppage to level

    sbc's where I know the card I'm building for have basically been my only hope through two versions of the game so far, I have wondered if it's favored towards people with ps+ though

    Anybody mastered youth academy in manager career? Trying to figure out why I signed a kid and he’s gone from 65 to 72 in 4 months while another with 88-94 potential has gone from 59 to 60 in over a year.

    both kids are set in a development plan.

    Any ideas?

    Wish I could find it but I read an article from a law review that was in Twitter in regard to that stuff and supposedly they think it's all BS as of now. Obviously they stated agreements and licensing can change but that if Ibra and Bale weren't aware of how the licencing worked and their likeness being used that they should fire their agents and that there should be no realistic way that two athletes that have posed for photos and been on the cover weren't aware of how the licensing works.

    I mean even their attempts at “improvements” just end up being fuck ups.

    But FUT was rolling along before I jumped on board was more the point. It was either just be angry like everyone else, or join in on FUT and...still be angry? I don’t really know what my point was anymore

    You can do it so well that FIFA has put in an in game system where you can set limits on how many packs you can buy and how much you can play.

    They haven’t put in a addiction help hotline yet, but I assume that’s in next years version.

    I’m in year 4 of a career mode and the AI for the players team is objectively pathetic. Practically unplayable. switch off the right back and he just stands still while the winger runs in behind 20 yards clear.

    it must be my PS4, every career I’ve ever done, by year 4-5 - 75% of world football is left footed.

    gameplay much cleaner and sharper, and everything loads/moves infinitely faster

    but yeah, it's still an EA game
