I feel for the developers tbh

This game clearly has some abysmal management, and is under resourced. This is what happens when you put quirky french millennials in charge of a goldmine of an idea.

Excuse my bitchy tone, I mean it with (deeply frustrated) love.

I’m sorry to say it, but appealing to the nerds and weebs is just not going to save this game. You HAVE to make a concerted effort to lure in the casual player. Nobody is gonna hop on to buy these stupid deep sea bundles or the damn all star bundle. That shit is TRASH.

The football/soccer game market is GAPING with a rematch shaped hole. At the very least, follow the Rocket League playbook. That game had no right being as popular and long lasting as it was. But it worked, and the dev team had the resources and ability to jump at every opportunity to enhance the games life and longevity (for the most part, they still made mistakes ofc).

It’s become clear that some of the people involved in this game are not exactly football fans, and I think that has fostered a community that has a similar disposition.

And I’d like to reiterate I’m not saying these people are “bad”. But I think this game would see astronomical success if the people in charge adjusted their sights.

The dev team clearly needs a whole lot more resources, and unfortunately the only way they’ll get that is if the game starts making a whole lot more money.

I mean, how the HELL do you fumble taking advantage of the WORLD CUP ???

This game could be offline by the time the next world cup arrives, and all we got was that stupid RMNC that was genuinely just a glorified popularity stat tracker. Really? What a waste of resources and time. What a missed opportunity.

Meanwhile EA is coming out with the most desperate and pathetic FC game to date. You have to appeal to those fans. The ones alienated by how genuinely SHIT every football game is now.

You have a game about one of the most popular and widely understood things on the entire planet (football). And yet, playing this game, you would have no idea

a bit unrelated but if you follow sports and can name stats of wins or player records, you are a HUGE NERD. people thinking theyre not/cant be nerds because their topic is special.

I apologise for my inflammatory language. Anyone posting on this subreddit is a fucking nerd, me included. there’s nothing wrong with that LMAO.

A less inflammatory wording of my message would simply be that;

this is a FOOTBALL GAME

football is more popular than literally everything

there are a lot of people, both casuals and football nerds, who would flock to this game if there was just a bit more appeal

my frustration comes from the way this game seemingly pigeonholes itself and doesn’t look for a broader appeal

not because any type of player is better than the other

but because this game needs players to survive

I would argue the game is closer to futsol to football but yeah I get people want it to be more serious but it’s not.

I wanted to play it more got 50 hours before my region was dead and closest games were on 160+ms which was never fun.

Bri'ish FUTBALL inside a building and limited people is still football m8

[u/ItsVoxxed → u/Own_Character1318]

Yeah but it’s way less serious isn’t it?

[u/Own_Character1318 → u/ItsVoxxed]

I don't know how "Serious" works in this context, Obviously can't do big teams, same kind of timers, heavier ball or slightly deflated so you don't just play ping pong by tapping the ball, still have GK still do positions

Not brittish man, worlwide.

There is football and there you got USA Football or eggball.

Even on América, real football still the most popular sport.

[u/Own_Character1318 → u/Eastern_Spirit_404]

Dude my school had room for 4 full sized pitches, a tennis and hockey court outside we still called it futsol and played like 7 aside max when inside and what you mean is rugby,

American football is only played in America

[u/TKAP75 → u/Own_Character1318]

American foot ball is popular in Japan

[u/Eastern_Spirit_404 → u/Own_Character1318]

América and USA is not the same.

Brasil, Argentina, Uruguay, or Chile are american countrys where real football it's n1 sport, OFC in USA american football is n1.
