Hello fello FIFA players,
May I start by saying that have never posted upon the Fifa forum and to date, have never felt the need to as I have always been relatively satisfied with the FIFA product. I have purchased a FIFA product every year since I moved away from kick-off and sensible soccer on the Amiga many years ago.
I purchased this year's incarnation and although the overall package has improved, must state that I am bitterly disappointed with the decision of the EA team to set 'ranked' online games at semi-pro level. I am an average to good player and have found that online, in my first 3 games, that scoring goals was nothing more than child's play. I scored a total 21 goals in 3 games and found that almost every decent shot hit the back of the net with no goalkeeper resistance at all. It was so easy to score, probably easier than upon any FIFA game that I had played before. This has totally ruined the online experience for me.
I do not understand why EA, as an experienced games producer, would make this decision which has, in my view, set the game experience online back many years. After all, most posts on the FIFA 08 forum complained about soft goalkeeps and soft goals. This, coupled with the current problem of connecting to players online has left me disappointed with my investment in FIFA 09.
I am writing this post really hoping that you all support my view and that the EA team will make the appropriate changes so online players can enjoy a more rewarding experience.
Do you all agee?
