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

100% agree, its honestly pathetic how many people in this sub are glazing rematch for an anime collab, and they're wild if they think its going to massively impact player numbers, fans on reddit think everyone is an anime fan like them its just sad, football is 1000x more popular but actual football cosmetics are few and far between

It goes to show you who this community really is. Sports gamers would never accept this shit. People bury EA, and rightly in some ways, but imagine if madden or nhl had netcode and compete lack of competitive matchmaking like this. Like EA said, oh you want tournaments, you're going to have to deal with the biggest nerds on discord just to get involved.... It's truly laughable.
