Yes bro. Less is more when it comes to fut. Even trading, tho I never really got into it, was fun. I did it here and there. But I remember Marquee matchups used to be a top tier SBC were silvers & bronze would sell for 10k. So you check your club if you have those expensive silver players and list them up. It’s little things like this that made 17 so fun & engaging. I just miss the grind for the team. Golds were still usable till tots. Now, after 1-3 weeks, all the golds apart from like 5 are above 100k. You can’t get excited when you pack a good player because they’re worthless on the market. Packing good meta players don’t even hit the same as well because everyone have them. I packed Cruyff, red Haaland, and I didn’t even flinch. Takes away from the fun.

I enjoy having lots of different cards however generally gameplay is soo bad in FC24 compared to fifa 23 and 22.

I’ve been saying this for 5-6 years now, but FIFA was in its prime from FIFA 12-FIFA 17. Sometimes, less is more and that applies to all the special cards nowadays that apart from cosmetics, play pretty similar to their base card. And I’d even argue that the Fifas that are even better were the ones where Silver and even some bronze players were viable.

Y’all are crazy, the only thing FIFA should bring back is relegation for rivals but the gameplay from back then is slow, lacks options to be creative, etc. The real issue is the player base are rats and spam whatever they can to win….watching skillz gameplay from 17 is like watching baseball or basketball from the 80’s and trying to compare it to the modern day

@@barstar888 I agree with the relegation, as for the speed of gameplay I agree somewhat. It allowed you to play faster because player movement actually existed, and if you wanted to play a slower tempo, the player movement would allow you to do that as well. For example, DMs in 17 with no instructions, behave more like a deep lying playmaker than DMs in 24 with the DLP instructions. People rely on being rats because the game defaults to drop back, leading trivelas, finesse shots, and early through balls to be the only way to score consistently. Either do that or just run down the wing and force a cutback to ignore the drop back all together. Honestly, just fixing player movement and drop back alone will make the gameplay better. I don’t even think AI defending is as horrible as they make it out to be, it’s only really amplified because of drop back and the lack of player movement. Having to rely on player locking for any attacking movement at all just shows laziness and ignorance on EA’s part imo.

The main thing about old fifas was that you would play the entire year to get gold Ronaldo or Messi by the end because they were the most expensive cards 😂

Beautiful video brother, keep preaching!

Yeah they’re so consistency with the out come of situations, not getting block animations in the same situation. Some players pull out some crazy dribble animation when people are close to me. Like how you gonna do that only when a defender is getting close but never any other time. The LB doesn’t work as good as it used too.

You said in those games if you reach in an area you can score and theres nothing i can do about it... If you do a stepover into far post, there's nothing you can do... Mechanics have always been there

We all used to complain about the game each year, how it’s getting worse or there is no change, but when you look back at the older games just now wish it was like the older games.

Couldn’t agree more! Top 100/200 for champs and squad battles , bring back monthly’s (increase the games if needs be) they could release this as fc25 and I would be happy 👍

i agreee the rewards went down hill thats why people dont play draft anymore . i dont agree with the card statement cause back in previours fifas people who wasnt like wroe2shaw who could buy packs daily couldnt get the chance to play with plays like ronaldo and packing him was a lot harder , so yes you could say they made packing some cards way too easily , which is true sometimes they oput the same cards in sbcs too much i agree but no card should be so exspensive that n one can buy it

Used to watch you back then man. Goat AA9Skillz days. Missed you bro. I hope you’re doing well now. It’s been a while since I saw a vid of you and this was up to my timeline

You definitely deserve more recognition for this!

IMO FIFA has been on a downward trajectory since FIFA 13. As soon as they realised just how much money they can make from Ultimate Team, our game was finished. Even Ultimate Team has destroyed itself. FIFA 10 > FIFA 11 > FIFA 12 > FIFA 13 > FIFA 14 FIFA 16 > FIFA 17 > FIFA 18 > FIFA 19 > FIFA 20 > Full blown AIDS > FIFA 21 > my entire bloodline dying slowly and painfully by being burned at the stake > FIFA 22 > world hunger > FIFA 23 > Nuclear apocalypse > FC 24 > hell

Skillz, I remember back in tbe day watching you when KSI was a baby on KZread, and I believe you was doing career mode stuff with Benfica. I also remember you being 1 of the first people to do the whole GTA thing, and connecting it together with FIFA, to give your career modes back stories. Fun times. But my main reason for commenting, is kinda just how much FIFA has dropped from their games, and it isn't even just FUT stuff either. FIFA 07 on PS2, had sponaorship deals, emails in game about fans being sad their favourite don't play, and it would affect their level support against you, which also could mess up your job security etc etc. Nowadays we don't really have any details like that added to the game, it's all just generic stats, no weekly/monthly finances to maintain like Football Manager, all the clubs just miraculously run off transfer funds. There's no details or love in their game anymore, only the fact they want the game more accessible for everyone to play their Ultimate Team game mode, so they maximise their money coming in. All games nowadays are doing the same thing. Microtransactions galore for pixels on a screen. Sometimes it's fun to spend a 5er on the game one time to give you a small little boost, or maybe even a 10er, but what's even the point when the game won't change in any meaningful way? I'm career mode all the way, and I wish FIFA would use some of their FIFA Manager formula's they had, because that was quite a sick PC game alternative to FM, proper detailed. I mean maybe the game doesn't need to go that far in terms of detail for career mode, but they've had past games have proper cool, unique and interesting features already, yet they leave it all in the past, blend some of the new stuff with the old. What even happened to things like PS2 FiFA Street too? Even the more modern one wasn't too bad either, it's just sad, no more passion, or they're just lazily releasing a game with new animations nowadays, just to get their money from FUT, since their player base can't go without FIFA. Sad and disappointing.

I know he doesn’t have a good name to him now but getting that Tournament win on this game for TOTS Sigurosson was unreal… you get nothing like that feeling anymore with these new fifas

Removal of that screen that shows people's squads stopped people from doing the connection glitch to quit when they see your team. It's one of the good things that they did

The gameplay shown is from Xbox 360 / PS3 gen ? I’ve only played 23 & FC24 so have no idea the differences from previous gen

Seasons in ultimate team back in the day was so much better than crappy div rivals. Skill gap has been nerfed, promos have saturated the game to within an inch of its life and mugs still buy points. 40 games Friday morning to monday morning was crazy tho 😂

preach bro! my personal favourite is 15

I remember getting this schone inform card for 30k. I was so stoked, the thought of having anything better was astronomical. Now the game doesn’t matter anymore. It’s stale and tryahard. I feel a lot of games have died because the game is catered to tryhards more and more

Yea the league sbcs were so sick

how did you access servers i saw that fifa shut down their servers from fifa21 to all previous versions

Agree w most of his points except for the top 100. I think the top 100 is better off removed and having weekend league even more sweaty is to me terrible. For a lot of us who are older OG’s that played we don’t have the time to play endless fifa and we just want a relaxing time on the game when we get a chance to get on. The biggest issue for me is the grind is ridiculous now and too much time spent on menus. Getting informs and chem limiting teams was more fun or rage selling and building a new team is better than just doing an sbc and running with any players because you have no desire to make new teams

I wish the PlayStation store still had the previous fifa’s to download.

I agree to 1000% with everything you said, Fifa 17 was also my favourite game by far, if this game would be back I would play it all day long, one of the biggest things Fifa 17 had was the ai of our attackers made so nice runs all the time playing was just so fun, and If I lost games I never was pissed because when I lost I lost against someone which was just better then me, I stopped Fifa in fifa19 which was the first game were everything changed and there it was exactly like it is now in fc24, you loose to people which are so much worst then you just because the game wants it like this, just so they dont stop buying packs, that's what makes you so angry if you play against someone which dont play s** but the game just screws you over then you loose and you want to smash the controller totally unhealthy

The slow build up to skillz moving games to UFL or to the New Fifa

It so happens that the perception that "times were better when things were simpler" is valid for any game and, perhaps, any aspect of life. With the advancement of technology and its accessibility, which is not a bad thing, I must emphasize, people tend to think that systems need to be more complex and profound when, in fact, the magic lies in simplicity, especially when we talk about video games, which were born to be a relief from daily worries. As I said, this applies to various other games and many other aspects of life. How fun it was to buy games in person, meet people similar to us, and have... that human contact. Anyway, I don't want to stray too far from the topic, but it's food for thought

bro i remember watching you everyday when you were rocking this team. who is here from 2017? xd

The same thing happened to FIFA that happened to Call of Duty... Skill gap removal. Now we all have different definitions for this 'skill gap removal', on COD it is called 'SBMM', (Skill Based Matchmaking) but FIFA essentially did the same thing.

The teams you’re playing against here are so refreshing to see

Bro they make videogames to get your money not to give u fun 🙈🙈

fifa has gone down hill because they dont do anything exciting , draft rewards are terrible and everyone has 10 icons within the first four months , so people have nothing to grind for and they need more xp objectives updating constantly so people can get to top level of season rewards , cause not everyone plays online or champions etc

Auto block was the reason I stopped playing you'll shoot from far you see vvd jump 20ft in the air chest it down slap a overtop ball and you lose a goal

you can still see your record in the club tab

They remove features and then reintroduce them in next 5 year later and gonna say new features

I see this in so many games with characters in video games. When a company makes to many characters or designs for something. They become wack after because it's harder to come up with new ideas. If Fifa keeps making 30 design cards every year they will run out of ideas eventually and start making wack art cards with like Bellingham and butterflies around him or something dumb like that. I hate the game right now.
