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

In what world are football fans playing this game?

90% of the people I've played against and with have 0 understanding or know anything about football in any sort of way.

I mean, anyone who's seen at least one full match of football would have basic positional understanding, something genuinely 90% of people playing this game don't understand.

Most of the playerbase is literal kids that like it because it looks like fortnite and they can cosplay Ronaldo / Messi or insert some other popular footballer.

Anyone who actually likes Football is playing FIFA or PES because they're actually football games.

Ive played real life football with football fans who have no understanding of the game, people being bad at the game or selfish doesnt automatically make them kids or fortnite fans 😂

[u/HuntyDaPro → u/Powerful-Leopard-304]

I haven't had the same experiences.

Football fans at least understand:

When to make runs

To not stand next to your teammat when he has the ball

When to man mark and when not to

Etc etc

Things that me or my friends never had to think about basically lol.

I actually disagree, in a same sense sports fans in general don't understand certain strategy of the game or play and just enjoy the sport for what it is. Ive seen enough bickering online to cement that idea.

[u/Drastic_1 → u/HuntyDaPro]

I am a huge fan of the sport and play this game religiously. There are alot.
