| mZuzek said: This is my main issue with FIFA. The games are too much about simulation and too little about skill. To me, with each new iteration FIFA constantly becomes more of a random game where mostly everything is decided by luck and less of a game that requires skill and good strategy to succeed. At this point, the very idea of competitive FIFA is laughable, and it's a shame it actually exists. |
I play only online FUT and I must say I think Fifa16 is very much about strategy and skill, although random shit and "momentum" also play their part. I love it that stats now actually matter, not just pace, so strategy also comes from choosing different types of players for your playstyle and formation of choice. You really feel the difference between good and bad passer, dribbler etc. so now I can use players like Pirlo, Arteta, Totti and Giroud and play to their strenghts. Fast and agile winger might be good for cutting in and creating space, but then they fuck up that finish or their passes in final 3rd lack quality for example.
That said, I play to win of course but I'm not very competitive so I don't rage if I lose by random events. It's a game where you control one player at time and rest 9 of them are controlled by AI, so it's never solely about skill. Maybe if both play exactly the same team, formation and custom tactics? But that's boring.. In the end, despite all the talk about randomness and "scripting" the best players manage to win consistently.
