I realised this game was done few years back.. think it was fifa19.. I played fifa since forever and I never used right analog and such. Well the story is I used to beat my cousin who is younger than me with ease.. I read his play and he could almost never win.. he was around 13-14 years and fifa 18 or 19 came out.. all of a sudden I struggle... he spins in the air, vollys it in the corner 40m out.. times shots.. dont matter if he is facing the goal, dont matter if he has the right angle.. no, was not important.. he had mastered flicks, right analog and time shooting.. dont matter if I read his play no more, he went through me. Dont matter if I outplayed his defence and had the cleares chance no.. no.. he moved the GK.. I began to lose and I had to sweat to even grab a narrow win..
Well hello there. It's the big man. Inception might have eased down on the roasting of EA's bs game for the betterment of his channel but between these two nobody out there realer when it comes to Fifa imo.
@@ADMEX7 dude its literally like every play is a magnet and the ball is attracted to the players. Whats random about that? Play PES you will see lightyear difference
I deleted my fifa games. I’m done being fucked by an incompetent game company that is EA. I implore everyone to not buy future EA sports games because we do not deserve any more bullshit
Yeah it’s basically now just a video game that promotes learning skill combos to get through rather than a football game that promotes using real life plays
That's an old one in the script by EA. I remember it best from Fifa 11. Your fullback always makes sure to stay behind so the opponent is onside, as well as to be far away enough to not be able to reach that said opponent. Just a game developed by nerds who never played the sport, so they don't value your irl IQ of football.
New development being a defender now sprints up to the D box to defend. And funny bit is, your team mates don't make the run to beat the offside. What a glorious game.
Does anyone else feel like people who’ve watched and played football all their lives struggle against people who only play fifa? Cause it seems that way. The passes you know should work don’t work and the passes you’d never even let enter your mind are the “perfect” ball...
I can have 60%+ possession, spend ages building plays just for the final through ball into pure space fuck up. Then get countered with a through ball with it refusing to switch to my cb
Welcome to FIFA, where the best way to break down a team is to aim for the opponent, and the best way to dribble past a defender is to run straight at him. The best way to defend is run away and the best way to shoot is taking half chances. No logic
The shooting one is infuriating. If you're 10 yards out and in front of the keeper, whatever shot you choose it will be saved. Shoot from the tightest angle ever and your 75 rated striker will find the far top corner. Then add in 90+ rated keepers who palm every shot and their is no skill
It's just because football have a giant fanbase and the graphics are beautiful. Even with this facts, fifa has a very small rate of people watching compared to other e-sports because the game sucks a lot. I've stopped playing and it was the best decision of my whole life without doubts.
That's why I never select a defender. I let AI handle that and all my defenders run back on their own. As soon as I select a defender they magically start running slow
You can actually change this in the settings so defenders will keep moving the way they were going when selecting them, I recommend putting it on low. This game has a lot of bullshit, but this one is fixable.
couldnt agree more, i have played just about every mainstream game, not even rng loot in the worse br in history would make me upset the least bit, but 3 mins of fifa21 i have a headache. Very unhealthy and disgusting game to play, everything about the game is just wrong.
9/10 times i read my opponents play, try to cut passing lines et cetera. However i always fail to get the ball. The ball literally rolls 1 ft past my defender and he does not even care to move his leg and intercept the ball... it makers you feel so powerless...
i swear it piss me off. Even when you guess your opponent's intentions , your player is going to stay in the front of the ball and watch it passing near him, EVEN when you're on the passing line
That frustrates the hell out of me. Especially when passing to a team mate and the AI keeps them running a bit too long, the pass misses their feet by a millimeter, the AI controlled teammate can see the ball yet makes no attempt to adjust their position to get a touch and control the ball to keep the play going.
The worst part is, going ultra defense and not switching does all the work, manually switching is actually detrimental in this game you'll just play everyone onside by dropping off and the ball will just go past the defender anyway
I just started playing fifa21, thought I was going crazy at how easily my defenders were getting passed around. I was sure I'd blocked passing routes - this video at least explains some of it. Thank you!
This explains a lot. Also, defenders are too vulnerables to 1-2’s as they are baited to move away instantly even if u knew the ball’s gonna come back to that player. Insanely frustrating.
The coolest sistem EA has implemented this year, speaking of passes, is the AI that chooses always the player that is in offside position. If you have two players one offside and another on, the pass will always, always no mather what, go to the offside player. Cheers.
Omg I thought this was only something that happened to me. You can aim in the exact opposite direction and it still goes to the offside player. It's ridiculous.
And when there's only one player who just runs offside the game "assists" the pass and tries to make it to a completely different direction to avoid that offside. Only to be intercepted which often can lead to a counter attack. If I make the mistake then let it be an offside instead of ruining the match by giving the opponent the counter attack
PES has good physics in their passing system. You feel like what you do matters. Passing, tempo, acceleration, timing, everything. As someone who loves to play the sport in real life, I really appreciate what Konami has done with that game as it's the closest you can get to playing the game digitally.
Pes isn't much better. It's like choosing between eating shit and drinking piss. Just because you'd rather do one over the other, doesn't mean it's good.
@@skettinbutter3635 Pes game play is so good,a couple years ago when they released the demo I thought this is amazing then when I bought the full game I couldn’t believe how much of the game cheats you or your opponent depending on your last 5 games or how much money you have spent on micro transactions
Perfectly described the current state of passing. When watching the video, I recognized a few gameplay scenes and realised you used my gameplay as an example 👍🏼😅
hahah yeah, a couple were from a game you somehow barely won. Watched it on stream and we were all confused how your opponent got his 3 goals, but that's FIFA. Unlucky on that through ball
Exactly, just by playing the first 10/15 minutes of a game I can already tell if its scripted or not... The skill gap is so low that I (elite 2/3 player) managed to won against a pro player in a game where EA clearly helped me, but for some reason I struggle to win against gold 3/2 players.
Some games u feel like a god and some ur planned to lose. I had a few games recently where my players were blatantly leaving the ball so the squad battles team could just hoard possession and I just couldn’t ever get it back. None of my players run in behind either unlike usual
@@gddanielk8491 That lack of running behind happens alot to me In games were i lose! No matter how well i play and hold the ball jntil the last second none of the forward players move an inch🤷♂️
thanks, always had this in the back of my mind while playing. never took my time to actually care and think bput it enough but u did it for me mate thanks all my pain is shared good to know
Thank you! This is also a reason why playing without the ball/defending feels so terrible in this game, even against AI. I hadn't play a FIFA in a few years and was absolutely disgusted with what I found, it made me quit. Football games had passing errors since the dawn of time, I still find astounding that whenever there's a player in offside position, no matter if you want to pass the ball to the oposite side it will almost always choose that player, it's a joke that things so basic can't be fixed to this day, but the fact that they get worse every year is too much for me.
Girlfriend: Just turn it off then if it's not fun... Me: I've just gotta win this last game! (practically having to break the controller to stop Fulham aka scripted prime Barcelona prevent me from winning the title)
I think tackling needs a big fix too. The amount of times I’ve tackled an opponent who is fully sprinting straight at me and they have continued with the ball without a dip in momentum speed or ball control is outrageous. Attacking bias is a huge problem.
Exactly this. Or my favorite is when I see my AI players literally move out of the way for the offense to run past. "Well you should change to the right defender!" They say. I'm sorry, I was blocking passing lanes because the AI defenders don't do that either.
defense is so bad. I have a video of my defender jumping to block a ball and as soon as the ball got to his body it magically moved out the way and a perfect volley goal for the computer
Keep up the good work man, these vids are spot on. Us OGs of fifa are quickly falling out of love with this game because off all the assist and points you mention in your video. You hit the nail on the head!
@@nabilhacene5896 That's EA for you, they don't care about people complaining about battlefield, they don't care about people complaining about star wars, and they don't care about people complaining about fifa, or nba, or any other game that's in exclusive development of EA. They know people will still buy their games and spend money on virtual currency, and guess what. That's exactly what happens. They do hear all the complaints, but they know that even if they don't make a change it doesn't matter... It wouldn't matter because they're still making their sweet revenue. It's not even just EA at this point, the biggest developers are going this way currently, and it's not just about fifa having bad AI, or them ruining your chances which will probably make you spend money on cards and also give them more playtime as you're getting frustrated and thinking "maybe this next game I can play better". It's about the state of video games as they're expanding more than ever.
For too long I thought I was crazy and the flaws in FIFA were all my own incompetence. I see now that I'm not the only one who struggles with this crap
They made it like that so all the kids and teenagers will keep playing it. If the game was truly fair they would lose a lot of money, less kids would buy packs etc . The system is being implemented because it makes games more addictive and it's profitable for them
The reason I got into rocket league was precisely because every single decision you make has consequence. It makes every mistake painful and every little triumph exhilarating
6:57 is one of the reasons why this is the worst fifa ever and only stop at gold 3 now. never seen such a low skill gap in my life idc what anyone says utter shambles
Don't get why we all don't get together and sue EA. They release a perfect game at the start with the new features but then downgrade the game after 1 update leading to next years garbage game looking better. They get away with this and no one says anything. Criminals.
Also what EA does to gain more profits is drastically boost players’ stats like what they did in this promo, so that even if you have a full icon team, a lot of icons probably can’t compete with those new cards.. so people never satisfy with the squad they have, just imagine icons can’t beat future stars cards...make no sense.. EA can pretend they care about the fairness of the game, especially for newer gamers, but in reality it’s all for money
It is even more noticeable when you turn it to "semi" assisted. It at times does exactly what you want but sometimes it doesn't go even remotely to a location you press it to go. And there's still the same problem with the hybrid passes when the AI changes the pass to either your advantage or against you depending on what side it wants to favour.
I agree, I have raged so many times at the passing, as well as some of the refereeing decisions, giving fouls for good tackles, I haven't played a football game in sometime and have seen a lot of problems that use to annoy me in the past are still there
Unfortunately they prefer to listen to non competent “gamechangers”. I am from Germany and just a week a go a huge fifa streamer just a made a “realtalk “ video talking about some “problems” in this game. Well, quite laughable. He talked about the “bad walkout design at toty” and that there haven’t been much “lightning rounds”. Moreover he criticized the cr7 flashback sbc, saying that Ea “needs to think more beyond the sky, cause the stats are to bad.” Meanwhile saying that he had over 200k fifa points on his account.. also he criticized the fact that for ex messi has just an “98” instead of an “99”. What I want to mention is that Ea should stop to listen to these kind of people as their gamechangers to improve the game and get some competent players like stallion or inception even if they are not that famous or “mainstream”. I think that would be a little step to improve this game, especially gameplaywise again.
I think the problem is.. they know about this. But they don’t want to change. One, because they don’t know how, and second, the mass casuals need to feel they are playing globe trotters football.
nope its the core of the game handicap inside and use Variable rewards of psychology make you win a few games and then increase the difficulty of it to hook you
They cant yeah you heard it right. They can't fix everything in the same time.. they need to create a whole new game with new codes. You think that dev of fifa happy to see that kick off glitch every year in their game. Absolutely not. But they cant fix it without change all the game, and as they think.. the game's perfect when still millions of people buy it every year. Its goind perfectly.
Omg I just found this video and it is freaking gold! This is everything I go thru but can't explain! shout out to you bro everything you said here happens all the time 💯. this shit is sad.
I started playing football games in 2004, x (or the down button) has always been for passing in the foot of the player, while triangle (or the up button) has always been for a pass through, for a pass into space.
This game treat professionals as if they either have ultra instincts and have figured out the matrix or have the braincells of a cabbage there is no inbetween.
Power to you. I totally agree with your analysis and I hate the game does not reward soccer knowledge in defense or attack. Another issue I noticed constantly is with the players with stupid slim arms in career mode. Thanks for the content.
respect for this man,u ve said it all...i stopped playing cuz of fifa bs....scripted shit + passing &/defending stuff...its jus annoying...when ur choices dont matter...it really is not about losing game...i ve been so many times in a situation where m winning but being pissed cuz of fifa bs...✌️
This is so true. I taught i was playing really bad because i cant get a pass in this game everything goes wrong. This is a joke. Thanks for puting this out here man.
Good examples, good work. The game is very inconsistent and it's good to have such documentation of it. Very funny that there are still people defending this, I don't have slightest of clue how their brain works
This is so true that now when it happens, I just smile. I tell myself that it’s just a game and that I’m just trying to pass time and distract myself. Otherwise, I’d get a coronary.
100% agree. So frustrating. I am really good at anticipating passes. In previous fifa games interceptions was one of my strong suits. Now I almost never get interceptions. I play cam and pride myself on being unselfish and being the assist man. However in this addition not so much. Trying to do through balls into space often ends in me doing a dink little layoff pass to a player running up behind me instead of the open space that I aim at.
Ive been driving myself fucken insane trying to figure out if I suck at passing now or its just inconsistent. Thank you for the clarity and the amazing content, this game is laughable.
Same thing happened to me this week and everyone was shocked when I conceded five goals to one. I have been a pes gamer and everyone knows I'm very excellent at tackling and defense so they were all shocked. Now I know it wasn't my fault
Bro you are totaly right, thats why you sometimes feel like its the first time you play fifa even if you have some good hours played.. Thats what makes this game so frustrating to play and i hope EA will make some sense and change this.
@@tfth_stojanoski8321 don't know what you talking about but outrun means when they start at the same place in the pitch but one has more speed and outpace him rather, this scenario is impossible in real life with the 2 players mentioned cuz of age and also Mendys speed advantage
I agree with you brother, people who play fifa since the begining of times know better, I'm 34 years old and I've played almost every single fifa in my lifetime, and the last fifa disappointed me over and over again.
For me defending is broken as well. I can count on two hands the number of clean sheets I've had across hundreds of games. And I'm not bad at defending either. I'm not Van Dijk, but I'm solid in defense. That is until FIFA 21.
Same thing too happened to me just this week. I have been a pes gamer all my life and never liked FIFA. Everyone knows that when it comes to defending and tackling, I'm a pro but everyone was shocked when I conceded five goals to one in FIFA. Now I know it wasn't my fault.
Me too bro. I lean on defensive style and always make sure not to give away goals rather than scoring goals but this game turns me upside down. I'm always good at making star players or stricker and make them useless but in this game i can't do that anymore. Now I know why.
Same for me, I was always very good with timing on defense specially, since the Winning Eleven days, started playing FIFA 21 last week and just can't defend shit, the play without ball feels terrible.
I've always been a casual FIFA player. Maybe played a total of 5 games over the year and never spent a lot of time with them. It has been several years since I played so figured I'd give 21 a try since it was recently on sale. Glad to know I'm not losing my mind because I'm seeing the similar things shown in this video and was confused why it wasn't playing similar to what I remember.
i never played FIFA but this weird thing also happens in PES, another example is in Become a Legend mode in PES, when a loose ball is flying over me, although the ball is high and fast and ended up being closer to the farther rear teammate, me who was in the front would chase it automatically as if "the ball is meant to land on my foot", and the rear mate whose closer to the ball just stay still ignoring the ball.
Passing as well as finishing (at times) is super weird in this game. I believe that EA in both instances programmed it in a way that it takes the ratings of the players, based on the input and the positioning of the players it calculates the outcome and then matches the animations to that outcome. So basically: Input->outcome->animations this is also why this game is an animation hell, almost any goal you see the ball glitches through legs, feet, sometimes even the upper body. The hit boxes of the player only apply when the calculated outcome needs it to apply. This also applies for defenders locking on to balls and not doing so in a lot of instances As for passing, it is no secret that this pass assistance is to help "level the playing field" for new and not so good players, because otherwise they'd get intercepted a ton. Also it's to gloss over the poor attacking AI, because if your passes get to the players you want to pass them to, less people notice that the runs from the attackers are bad :)
I mostly agree with this. One exception: in modern football it's often not desirable anymore to pass straight into your team mate's feet. To accelerate your game, you should pass at him on the side you want this second player to pass the next pass to. That way, less time is lost on receiving and controlling the ball. So someone would not be entirely wrong, if stating that the old system with one pass into one's feet and one pass into one's running path is obsolete (or at least not all-embracing).
Fifa 10 - 12 was probably the best era. Each was quite a different playing experience to the other. Fifa 10, ping pong passing with really fast gameplay. Fifa 11, pace and crossing ruled the day. Fifa 12, total revamp of the defending system making the learning curve a crushing grind.
@@jeremymcginge9768 exactly why when people ask about scripting EA deny anything about scripting. Yes because it's the wrong word maybe ask EA about adaptive difficulty see what they say then.
At times you have two player options to pass to when making a counter attack one down the wing and one running straight into the box ahead of you and you decide to make a through pass to the one running down the wing since the one running onto the box in-front is marked but then due to assisted through balls, the ball is passed into the one in-front, possession is lost and you waste tghe counter. I really hate it when that happens.
As far as i know, if you shoot for a goal and the keeper deflects it, but your teamplayer was offside and catches it, it doesn't count as offside, since it wasn't direclty played towards him. Yet Fifa often counts it as offside. It would be if i would hit the bar or post and it reflects towards him, but not if the enemy keeper was on it.
Yup. Played FIFA 20 last year after I hadn't played since FIFA 14. I was stressed after every game and realized the games are scripted. Sold my console after 4 months. SMH
Couldn’t agree with this guy more, I’ve been playing fifa since 96, this game takes over and makes decisions for you, passes to offside players regardless of which way you hold the joystick. It’s never been so frustrating.
You also need to make a video about the defenders that leave the ball Infront of the opponent's striker. Also when a striker is running beside a defender he always passes him but if he is behind him no matter how fast is ur striker the defender will be in front of ur striker
Just found this… I admit I don’t play much but notice things like this. Even when it benefits me. Far too many times do I think “wow that’s weird… I was passing to my CM and it went to my CAM in a different spot? Maybe I wasn’t aiming correctly.” But some of these clips are exact replicas of that. Wow.
I've always liked playing the passing game. that is my strategy. I know how to dribble, but I think passing game is so much more fun, but in this year's game it is so broken and the pass NEVER GOES as I want. I play X and it goes Y and I pass Y and it goes to the player's foot ... it simply doesn't work. My best performance is defending, but for some reason I never seem to read the pass because it goes in a different direction... this video is perfect.
Have also noticed that on over hit passes, shots etc, your power bar seems to buffer for a millisecond, which seems to lead to way overpowered passes, shots etc, only when I am on goal with little or no players ahead of me
This man is a blessing in this community. He explains everything that I despise in this game perfectly.

PES has good physics in their passing system. You feel like what you do matters. Passing, tempo, acceleration, timing, everything. As someone who loves to play the sport in real life, I really appreciate what Konami has done with that game as it's the closest you can get to playing the game digitally.
Don’t you think Pes has scripting too ?
@@jamous3226 yeah but not like fifa
@@jamous3226 it does but it’s kinda necessary. I think it’s the only way they can program it to level things out
Pes isn't much better. It's like choosing between eating shit and drinking piss. Just because you'd rather do one over the other, doesn't mean it's good.
@@skettinbutter3635 Pes game play is so good,a couple years ago when they released the demo I thought this is amazing then when I bought the full game I couldn’t believe how much of the game cheats you or your opponent depending on your last 5 games or how much money you have spent on micro transactions
Funniest one for me has become how you will win the header every time the player you're knocking it onto is offside.
Perfectly described the current state of passing. When watching the video, I recognized a few gameplay scenes and realised you used my gameplay as an example 👍🏼😅
hahah yeah, a couple were from a game you somehow barely won. Watched it on stream and we were all confused how your opponent got his 3 goals, but that's FIFA. Unlucky on that through ball
Is it just me or you can tell if yout going to lose a game before you even start. Its like the game is arldy planned out
I agree.. online seasons too.. for some reason the only two teams I play is PSG 😒
Exactly, just by playing the first 10/15 minutes of a game I can already tell if its scripted or not... The skill gap is so low that I (elite 2/3 player) managed to won against a pro player in a game where EA clearly helped me, but for some reason I struggle to win against gold 3/2 players.
Some games u feel like a god and some ur planned to lose. I had a few games recently where my players were blatantly leaving the ball so the squad battles team could just hoard possession and I just couldn’t ever get it back. None of my players run in behind either unlike usual
Yeah that is how it works. It is called momentum. It is designed to keep you in the game, spend money etc. EA controls your wins buddy.
@@gddanielk8491 That lack of running behind happens alot to me In games were i lose! No matter how well i play and hold the ball jntil the last second none of the forward players move an inch🤷♂️
thanks, always had this in the back of my mind while playing. never took my time to actually care and think bput it enough but u did it for me mate thanks all my pain is shared good to know
Thank you! This is also a reason why playing without the ball/defending feels so terrible in this game, even against AI. I hadn't play a FIFA in a few years and was absolutely disgusted with what I found, it made me quit.
Football games had passing errors since the dawn of time, I still find astounding that whenever there's a player in offside position, no matter if you want to pass the ball to the oposite side it will almost always choose that player, it's a joke that things so basic can't be fixed to this day, but the fact that they get worse every year is too much for me.
Dad: Why are you getting angry it's just a game...
Game: ...
EA - it’s in the game!
😂😂😂 I can relate to this lmao
Holy shit this is me to a tee
Girlfriend: Just turn it off then if it's not fun...
Me: I've just gotta win this last game! (practically having to break the controller to stop Fulham aka scripted prime Barcelona prevent me from winning the title)
I think tackling needs a big fix too. The amount of times I’ve tackled an opponent who is fully sprinting straight at me and they have continued with the ball without a dip in momentum speed or ball control is outrageous. Attacking bias is a huge problem.
Who needs legs?
You can slide tackle his whole family away and he still has the ball
Exactly this. Or my favorite is when I see my AI players literally move out of the way for the offense to run past.
"Well you should change to the right defender!" They say.
I'm sorry, I was blocking passing lanes because the AI defenders don't do that either.
defense is so bad. I have a video of my defender jumping to block a ball and as soon as the ball got to his body it magically moved out the way and a perfect volley goal for the computer
@@VONcic nice
Don't even get me started on the goalkeepers...
Keep up the good work man, these vids are spot on. Us OGs of fifa are quickly falling out of love with this game because off all the assist and points you mention in your video. You hit the nail on the head!
The reason why I gave up playing FIFA all together, from 17 it just became a nightmare playing that game
Fun fact: "EA only lets you score when it wants you to score"
Believe me, they dont give a shit about you or your whining.
@@nabilhacene5896 That's EA for you, they don't care about people complaining about battlefield, they don't care about people complaining about star wars, and they don't care about people complaining about fifa, or nba, or any other game that's in exclusive development of EA. They know people will still buy their games and spend money on virtual currency, and guess what. That's exactly what happens. They do hear all the complaints, but they know that even if they don't make a change it doesn't matter... It wouldn't matter because they're still making their sweet revenue. It's not even just EA at this point, the biggest developers are going this way currently, and it's not just about fifa having bad AI, or them ruining your chances which will probably make you spend money on cards and also give them more playtime as you're getting frustrated and thinking "maybe this next game I can play better". It's about the state of video games as they're expanding more than ever.
Also Fun Fact: EA will destroy your dreams of becoming a eSporter of Fifa
and if they don’t want you to win YOU WONT WIN no matter what
Same as pes😔
For too long I thought I was crazy and the flaws in FIFA were all my own incompetence. I see now that I'm not the only one who struggles with this crap
They made it like that so all the kids and teenagers will keep playing it. If the game was truly fair they would lose a lot of money, less kids would buy packs etc .
The system is being implemented because it makes games more addictive and it's profitable for them
The reason I got into rocket league was precisely because every single decision you make has consequence. It makes every mistake painful and every little triumph exhilarating
Thank you for putting this into words. I've always tried to intercept when defending but I've always had issues when I didn't think I should. +1 sub
6:57 is one of the reasons why this is the worst fifa ever and only stop at gold 3 now. never seen such a low skill gap in my life idc what anyone says utter shambles
This game is crap but fifa 19 snd 20 were far worse
Don't get why we all don't get together and sue EA. They release a perfect game at the start with the new features but then downgrade the game after 1 update leading to next years garbage game looking better. They get away with this and no one says anything. Criminals.
for some time now fifa are using its customers as game tester. put out whatever when the customers/ game testers complain patch lol
@@mhiodyssey2458 lool sue EA? How much money and time do you think they have for that
20 was much worse bro wtf you talking about I liked your videos but you sound like a baby
Catering to the noobs, so it’s easier to score, impossible to defend and gets people to buy packs.....all they care about is money
Lol facts
Also what EA does to gain more profits is drastically boost players’ stats like what they did in this promo, so that even if you have a full icon team, a lot of icons probably can’t compete with those new cards.. so people never satisfy with the squad they have, just imagine icons can’t beat future stars cards...make no sense.. EA can pretend they care about the fairness of the game, especially for newer gamers, but in reality it’s all for money
100 % facts.
Well said and mugs like myself which I’m not afraid to say keep buying packs.....absolute con artists
BINGO
It is even more noticeable when you turn it to "semi" assisted. It at times does exactly what you want but sometimes it doesn't go even remotely to a location you press it to go. And there's still the same problem with the hybrid passes when the AI changes the pass to either your advantage or against you depending on what side it wants to favour.
You just put the words and video proof of my ongoing fifa rants out here in this video. 10/10

Well, better late than never
20 years? Grow up
@@sabus1265 he did grow, 20 years to be exact.
PES 6 on PS2 is the greatest football game to date. And that is 15 years old now :D
PES is trash too ... the Ai is and awareness is garbage
I agree, I have raged so many times at the passing, as well as some of the refereeing decisions, giving fouls for good tackles, I haven't played a football game in sometime and have seen a lot of problems that use to annoy me in the past are still there
Wow. I just stopped beating my head against the wall. Spot on. So accurate. Thank you
Switched to PES after 20 years of playing Fifa. Best decision of my life.
Nice. I play both but FIFA just gets on my nerve all the time. The last that I feel enjoyable was FIFA 14. Can't wait for PES 22 tho
Think it was called pro evolution soccer 2 when I switched nearly 20 years ago. Fifa was bad even then
@@humphreywolfe never been the same after fifa 14
@@shaunmartinezneves1138 true man
Did so during the first lockdown last year. FIFA is dead to me now.
Man after all these years of your work, they should have everything at hand to fix it. Incredible that this is still a thing
Unfortunately they prefer to listen to non competent “gamechangers”.
I am from Germany and just a week a go a huge fifa streamer just a made a “realtalk “ video talking about some “problems” in this game.
Well, quite laughable. He talked about the “bad walkout design at toty” and that there haven’t been much “lightning rounds”. Moreover he criticized the cr7 flashback sbc, saying that Ea “needs to think more beyond the sky, cause the stats are to bad.” Meanwhile saying that he had over 200k fifa points on his account.. also he criticized the fact that for ex messi has just an “98” instead of an “99”.
What I want to mention is that Ea should stop to listen to these kind of people as their gamechangers to improve the game and get some competent players like stallion or inception even if they are not that famous or “mainstream”.
I think that would be a little step to improve this game, especially gameplaywise again.
@@ahuman138 They don't care about that, that won't make them money, which is all they care about.
I think the problem is.. they know about this. But they don’t want to change. One, because they don’t know how, and second, the mass casuals need to feel they are playing globe trotters football.
nope its the core of the game handicap inside and use Variable rewards of psychology make you win a few games and then increase the difficulty of it to hook you
They cant yeah you heard it right. They can't fix everything in the same time.. they need to create a whole new game with new codes. You think that dev of fifa happy to see that kick off glitch every year in their game. Absolutely not. But they cant fix it without change all the game, and as they think.. the game's perfect when still millions of people buy it every year. Its goind perfectly.
Omg I just found this video and it is freaking gold!
This is everything I go thru but can't explain! shout out to you bro everything you said here happens all the time 💯. this shit is sad.

Itallion is the only CZcamsr giving us QUALITY CHECK and QUALITY ANALYSES !! Keep going man
Him and inception are the only woke ones giving us truth
I started playing football games in 2004, x (or the down button) has always been for passing in the foot of the player, while triangle (or the up button) has always been for a pass through, for a pass into space.
I always yelled “this game cheated me” every time I missed the pass or shoot.
This game treat professionals as if they either have ultra instincts and have figured out the matrix or have the braincells of a cabbage there is no inbetween.
Yoo I swear
Difficulty Level is in fact Computer's cheating level.
@Icewulf i see you are a person of culture. Thanks 😀
@Icewulf perfect, can't complain. hope all is well with you too mate. cheers.
Power to you. I totally agree with your analysis and I hate the game does not reward soccer knowledge in defense or attack. Another issue I noticed constantly is with the players with stupid slim arms in career mode. Thanks for the content.
respect for this man,u ve said it all...i stopped playing cuz of fifa bs....scripted shit + passing &/defending stuff...its jus annoying...when ur choices dont matter...it really is not about losing game...i ve been so many times in a situation where m winning but being pissed cuz of fifa bs...✌️
FIFA was never supposed to be a competitive money driven game. It's an arcade, almost family friendly party game who's being ruined by gambling.
This game is frustrating. I play it less and less everyday the mechanics are horrible this year
The mechanics are horrible every year. The game's shite mate lol smh.
Everything is just rubbish about this game
I un-stalled this piece shit days ago,it really isn't worth playing it's such a mental drain on players,will never purchase another fifa game.
Two friends of mine that pretty good players have stopped playing and my time will be coming soon
@@mathrockmaniac7643 I thought fifa 19 was good
I played a lot of fifa 12. I see that this game will never change.
This is so true. I taught i was playing really bad because i cant get a pass in this game everything goes wrong. This is a joke. Thanks for puting this out here man.
This game makes no sense, I thought my controller was broken because for the life of me I cant pass
Good examples, good work. The game is very inconsistent and it's good to have such documentation of it. Very funny that there are still people defending this, I don't have slightest of clue how their brain works
This is so true that now when it happens, I just smile. I tell myself that it’s just a game and that I’m just trying to pass time and distract myself. Otherwise, I’d get a coronary.
100% agree. So frustrating. I am really good at anticipating passes. In previous fifa games interceptions was one of my strong suits. Now I almost never get interceptions. I play cam and pride myself on being unselfish and being the assist man. However in this addition not so much. Trying to do through balls into space often ends in me doing a dink little layoff pass to a player running up behind me instead of the open space that I aim at.
Ive been driving myself fucken insane trying to figure out if I suck at passing now or its just inconsistent. Thank you for the clarity and the amazing content, this game is laughable.
If the player ur using doesn’t have good passing the the pass won’t go through
@@lykon2201 If the game wants to, you can have a silver card making better passes than moments xavi or pirlo

This has been a problem for years but not enough people know.
The first time playing FIFA 21 I was like "WTF is going on"
I was swearing through the whole match
While my friends were laughing in the background
Same thing happened to me this week and everyone was shocked when I conceded five goals to one. I have been a pes gamer and everyone knows I'm very excellent at tackling and defense so they were all shocked. Now I know it wasn't my fault
@@mr.jokesmith8189 I play pes too the tackling in the game is amazing much better than Fifa
Same shit, I barely concede goals. Because, I keep pressure and tackle on time. Somehow players run of 20m of the attacker when you press X
"Prime Pirlo on the sticks" - I like that line. Anyway this is true, impossible to intercept pass even though my defender blocks the path.
I know right.
Bro you are totaly right, thats why you sometimes feel like its the first time you play fifa even if you have some good hours played.. Thats what makes this game so frustrating to play and i hope EA will make some sense and change this.
Every double tap on x pass and triangle pass is a magical one. Ball can curl in 5 yards distance...can travel through the body of the defender
33 year old messi outruns F.Mandy in his early 20s ONE of the fucking speediest defender at the moment
He outran him in the clasico this season.
Mendy was in the worse position tho
@@tfth_stojanoski8321 don't know what you talking about but outrun means when they start at the same place in the pitch but one has more speed and outpace him rather, this scenario is impossible in real life with the 2 players mentioned cuz of age and also Mendys speed advantage

I agree with you brother, people who play fifa since the begining of times know better, I'm 34 years old and I've played almost every single fifa in my lifetime, and the last fifa disappointed me over and over again.
It’s actually hilarious, I wonder how many people I’ve lost to who just wing their passes and hope for the best
Probably a lot.
yupp
I just realized i broke my controller for a scripted game
I knew it was scripted but I still broke mine. Been playing since 2007. A lot of pent up aggression.
Never broke a controller in my life. Then started playing FUT champs. Went down to look for a hammer.
Sorry mate mxm
So many broken controllers
@@yasinaydin4824 SAME i had never even hit a controller and than fut champs happen
Ohh lord. I so feel you bro😂😂😂. Stopped playing for a year now. Was playing since 05
Defenders 10 feet behind the fastest striker catch up to you while sprinting. Game is BROKEN
Im going to adjust sliders
I saw this from the beginning of FIFA, almost 20 years ago. That's why pro evo was far superior in game play
For me defending is broken as well. I can count on two hands the number of clean sheets I've had across hundreds of games. And I'm not bad at defending either. I'm not Van Dijk, but I'm solid in defense. That is until FIFA 21.
Same thing too happened to me just this week. I have been a pes gamer all my life and never liked FIFA. Everyone knows that when it comes to defending and tackling, I'm a pro but everyone was shocked when I conceded five goals to one in FIFA. Now I know it wasn't my fault.
Me too bro. I lean on defensive style and always make sure not to give away goals rather than scoring goals but this game turns me upside down. I'm always good at making star players or stricker and make them useless but in this game i can't do that anymore. Now I know why.
Same for me, I was always very good with timing on defense specially, since the Winning Eleven days, started playing FIFA 21 last week and just can't defend shit, the play without ball feels terrible.
I've always been a casual FIFA player. Maybe played a total of 5 games over the year and never spent a lot of time with them. It has been several years since I played so figured I'd give 21 a try since it was recently on sale. Glad to know I'm not losing my mind because I'm seeing the similar things shown in this video and was confused why it wasn't playing similar to what I remember.
i never played FIFA but this weird thing also happens in PES, another example is in Become a Legend mode in PES, when a loose ball is flying over me, although the ball is high and fast and ended up being closer to the farther rear teammate, me who was in the front would chase it automatically as if "the ball is meant to land on my foot", and the rear mate whose closer to the ball just stay still ignoring the ball.
My defenders still make runs forward when instructions tell them to stay back
🤣😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hell yeah Bruhh, i was dangerously raging here and then I saw this. !!!!
sliders .
Passing as well as finishing (at times) is super weird in this game. I believe that EA in both instances programmed it in a way that it takes the ratings of the players, based on the input and the positioning of the players it calculates the outcome and then matches the animations to that outcome. So basically:
Input->outcome->animations
this is also why this game is an animation hell, almost any goal you see the ball glitches through legs, feet, sometimes even the upper body. The hit boxes of the player only apply when the calculated outcome needs it to apply.
This also applies for defenders locking on to balls and not doing so in a lot of instances
As for passing, it is no secret that this pass assistance is to help "level the playing field" for new and not so good players, because otherwise they'd get intercepted a ton. Also it's to gloss over the poor attacking AI, because if your passes get to the players you want to pass them to, less people notice that the runs from the attackers are bad :)
Yeah thats what im thinking
I mostly agree with this. One exception: in modern football it's often not desirable anymore to pass straight into your team mate's feet. To accelerate your game, you should pass at him on the side you want this second player to pass the next pass to. That way, less time is lost on receiving and controlling the ball.
So someone would not be entirely wrong, if stating that the old system with one pass into one's feet and one pass into one's running path is obsolete (or at least not all-embracing).
Fifa 10 - 12 was probably the best era. Each was quite a different playing experience to the other. Fifa 10, ping pong passing with really fast gameplay. Fifa 11, pace and crossing ruled the day. Fifa 12, total revamp of the defending system making the learning curve a crushing grind.
Lmao, we've known FIFA to be scripting for years. There's been evidence for a couple years now. At this point its on you for buying the game
I have it for free thanks to Xbox game pass
What you on about "scripting"?? Are you silly hahahaha it's called a program that's all, but it ain't scripted you tard
@Lee H hahahahhaha yup
I only buy fifa for the journey but its stops at fifa 19
@@jeremymcginge9768 exactly why when people ask about scripting EA deny anything about scripting. Yes because it's the wrong word maybe ask EA about adaptive difficulty see what they say then.
At times you have two player options to pass to when making a counter attack one down the wing and one running straight into the box ahead of you and you decide to make a through pass to the one running down the wing since the one running onto the box in-front is marked but then due to assisted through balls, the ball is passed into the one in-front, possession is lost and you waste tghe counter. I really hate it when that happens.
As far as i know, if you shoot for a goal and the keeper deflects it, but your teamplayer was offside and catches it, it doesn't count as offside, since it wasn't direclty played towards him.
Yet Fifa often counts it as offside. It would be if i would hit the bar or post and it reflects towards him, but not if the enemy keeper was on it.
Been playing Fifa since fifa 99 you are right about the triangle and normal pass.
when you watch videos like this you start to realise and appriciate old fifas from ps3 and early ps4
It's always been like this, people just didn't realize it
@@juliandrenth3742 no it has not always been like that ..
And this is the thing that gets me fuming the most at this game, stuff that just aren’t in your control.
Yup. Played FIFA 20 last year after I hadn't played since FIFA 14. I was stressed after every game and realized the games are scripted. Sold my console after 4 months. SMH
you earned my sub bro
Couldn’t agree with this guy more, I’ve been playing fifa since 96, this game takes over and makes decisions for you, passes to offside players regardless of which way you hold the joystick. It’s never been so frustrating.
I uninstalled fifa 21. Leaving the series. Had every one since 99
You also need to make a video about the defenders that leave the ball Infront of the opponent's striker.
Also when a striker is running beside a defender he always passes him but if he is behind him no matter how fast is ur striker the defender will be in front of ur striker
Just found this… I admit I don’t play much but notice things like this. Even when it benefits me. Far too many times do I think “wow that’s weird… I was passing to my CM and it went to my CAM in a different spot? Maybe I wasn’t aiming correctly.” But some of these clips are exact replicas of that. Wow.
I've always liked playing the passing game. that is my strategy. I know how to dribble, but I think passing game is so much more fun, but in this year's game it is so broken and the pass NEVER GOES as I want. I play X and it goes Y and I pass Y and it goes to the player's foot ... it simply doesn't work. My best performance is defending, but for some reason I never seem to read the pass because it goes in a different direction... this video is perfect.
*that's just life in general*
We think we have free will, but everything is induced
And that's why I still play FIFA 14.
Still shit...
Lol, not gonna help. This stuff has always been a part of FIFA. Earlier FIFA games even had a momentum bar
Have also noticed that on over hit passes, shots etc, your power bar seems to buffer for a millisecond, which seems to lead to way overpowered passes, shots etc, only when I am on goal with little or no players ahead of me
I agree bro every time I'm suffering this type of fault passes....
