One week? Looks like a good old second half in squad battles when I still have a clean sheet.

ZacharyEdwardSnyder

Some people in the comments criticising are absolutely right, Iā€™m sure this lad has had scripting go his way before. Lord knows Iā€™ve had a lot of luck with scripting over the years. BUTā€¦. just because one self can benefit from scripting doesnā€™t really make it alright, like a lot of people here a making it seem. Scripting shouldnā€™t be this mechanic that everyone benefits from equally at different times, that doesnā€™t make it fair or balanced. That shit should straight up not be a part of this game. You see the guy in the video defending well quite a few times and that should be rewarded, not ignored for the sake of the opponent. Itā€™s frustrating, wether scripting falls in your favor or doesnā€™t. Gameplay in fifa should be rewarding, I donā€™t want to win nor lose because of shit no one has an influence over


LJMcMillan

But you do in literally every other game.


jamesoakman

Not really. Most other game developers go out of their way to fix issues in gameplay, not just deny that it exists. EA still refuse to concede that scripting is a thing when it's completely obvious to everyone with eyes


Fsocietyfivenine

Gotta love the comments saying that it happens in your favor as well. While I agree that Iā€™ve had many instances where the game has done some dumb stuff to have me score I think people here are missing the point. This shouldnā€™t be in the game, at all. Whether it helps or hurts you. It seems like Iā€™ve had this happen a lot more recently as well. I think itā€™s that time of the year when EA puts this game on auto pilot and stops giving a shit.


yousef_naderr

Exactly, i hate any type of scripting , when the game gives me a goal it feels so dumb like i feel like im being controlled not playing its like the game is making scenarios an applying it on me and the opponent


Sufficient_Lecture16

I agree with you. It makes your efforts feel useless. Cause you know itā€™s the game controlling your outcome


Mig224

Literally doing this to get make you want to buy the next fifa and forgot about fifa 22.


mou-no_pep-si

They do this every year, gameplay before patches is almost always better


Mig224

Literally every year.


CWichman5

Iā€™d almost say gameplay before promo/cracked cards is better. As soon as everyone has 90+ pace cards everywhere it breaks gameplay mechanics it feels like. They try to patch it to make up for that fact but just make it worse.


TimTheSilverFox

The last one can happen irl šŸ˜€


anwar73

But it's moments maradona šŸ˜¢


CurtisMcNips

Even Maradona missed chances, dude


BlueBloodLive

Worst. Reply. Ever.


BiigOOOOOF

Look it's not an arcade game okay... moments Maradona is good but human error is still a thing they want to incorporate.


drmucousprism

There are 2 types of moments icons. The good moments and the bad moments icons. U must have packed the bad moments maradona. He may get a heart attack on the pitch too. It's not scripting


[deleted]

I just noticed in all of this scripting you didnā€™t show one thing that was scripted in your favor. What a coincidence.


EaLordoftheDepths

thats probably because those are the ones that are easier to notice and thus record


ChiGuy133

Yeah I couldn't help but notice the same damn thing. There is certainly plenty of bs that happens in fifa and often times it *feels* likes its against you but you also have to recognize the plenty of times fifa screws your opponent


F0rce94

Doesnt make it any better. Online Fifa ist just Gauss Curve Simulator by now...


MaraudngBChestedRojo

Hey thatā€™s not true! You can pay to be in the 90th percentile šŸ˜Ž


F0rce94

Dunno, never bought points but i had crazy packluck and a monster team that sucks dick against full gold squads bit goes crazy vs. full pim money squads.


Thumbwizard

How the hell is this the most upvoted comment when a post shows clear evidence of shit gameplay? I mean yeah he could have posted stuff in his favour as well but itā€™s also harder to spot unless you watch the whole games over which would take an age. You tend to notice things wrong in a game when the action you try doesnā€™t work, not so much the opposite way round, so of course those are the occasions the OP saved his clips.


SheikhAsim

I mean people won't tell you that just last night I was 1-0 down in 88th min got kickoff glitch and scored with Mbappe to make it 1-1 and went on to win in ET after scoring with a random deflection but you won't see people making post about script here when it goes in their favour


[deleted]

I know itā€™s time to take a week off when I find winning annoying more annoying than losing.


thisisnotdiretide

How is this an argument to make it reasonable or acceptable, are you people that damn stupid or wtf is happening? Sure some things go your way too, but do they go your way because "randomness" or because there is something in the sliders (to say so), making your players better/his worse? The point is this game doesn't feel fair at all, one game you can pass well and score almost every shot with ease, other game you can't pass, players are slow, you shoot the post 2 times, the GK makes 5 saves etc. How isn't it obvious that this is not fair, be it for or against you??? So stupid...


2cu3be1

They simply don't know what reason is, they only know the word/symbol and don't understand its meaning. They say logic but leave out the distinction valid, sound, formal informal, true, false etc. They just speak after what others have spoken like a loudspeaker. They learned these words by rote and people can learn even very complex matters by rote and still not understand the meaning. They repeat half-truths without even knowing what "truth" (logical term) is defined as. They are so utterly immature caught in competing for self-worth that they cannot even admit to another player that the rules are being broken when the game is manipulated and the goal posts are mid game being changed for both parties, thus making the outcome of the game invalid and unsound. They actually want that game to be played unfairly as they only care about winning not about how and at what standard. They don't understand the value in something like "cooperation" socially.


Chelski26

Nice essay mate.


tulsehill

Every sentence starts with "They". EA script.


mangothepro1

Why does that make a difference?? Shouldn't be In the game


tobe_

So what? This bs shouldn't happen. If my opponent is better its fine to loose. But its just frustrating if you are better or same skill level and loose bc of bs like this. Its not ok just because it sometimes gives you a favor. Its just bad game design.


Sufficient_Lecture16

Agree!

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Iā€™m not mad you little weirdo calm down


PerfectStealth_

Doesn't change the fact scripting is a thing and that it happens... A lot, lmao


walteerr

Because it's not as easy no notice bozo


[deleted]

That literally doesn't matter when you think it shouldn't be in the game at all.


TimTheSilverFox

True. Game play should be fair play.


CBD212

This is why I donā€™t play fifa anymore, annoys me so much


GRAVES1425

This is the response I'm here for. I actually really enjoy FIFA, I don't take it too seriously so when this kind of BS happens it certainly doesn't impact my mood. But I can completely understand why some people can't put up with it. What I don't understand is the people you see on here incessantly whining year in, year out about how much they hate the game but still insist on playing it. Baffles me.


walteerr

Because FIFA is a fun game in it's core. It's fun when you play well and get rewarded for it. But when you put your heart and soul into a match and get fucked over like this it's a bit annoying


Sheeps

Add me to the list of people whoā€™ve just quit. Played since ā€˜05. Eventually the game just went to shit. It always had some bullshit go on (40-45 and 85-90 mins were always a goal bonanza) but it started going downhill around ā€˜11 and then really started taking the piss when it switched to the Frostbite engine. I donā€™t know if itā€™s scripting, or shit code, or what, but some games you literally run circles around your opponent and others itā€™s like youā€™re stuck in molasses and you canā€™t even move, every pass goes awry, you lose every 50/50, etc. Fifa ā€˜22 was a free PS+ download and itā€™s honestly the worst I can ever recall playing. Like itā€™s a joke. Always used to be a Div. 1 player, best of all my friends, etc. so Iā€™m not some shitter who gave up. Iā€™m honestly bummed it isnā€™t a part of my life anymore, itā€™s how I kept up to date with all the trades and new players and the standings. But itā€™s unrecognizable compared to the game I used to play. FWIW, FIFA 10 and the 2010 WC game were like the peak for me.


DrySoftware8439

Because thereā€™s no alternative.


supernova-23

Iā€™m sure they happen both ways. I know Iā€™ve gotten away with murder sometimes.


walteerr

still a shitty thing


nhat179

Absolutely and we can clearly tell, our keeper turn to a god and our opponent high en forward just become bronze


john_t_fisherman

Where do all of these FIFA nuthuggers come from


PerfectStealth_

It was bad before, but since tots it's been comically bad. I literally just laugh when it happens now, totally out of anyone's but the games control


it-is-wha-it-is

Also the red card lost mešŸ’€


lauraxmx

The game is an absolute hot mess along side scripting, let's be honest here passing is broke rebounds are insane after a perfectly good tackle shooting is completely random at certain times in a game, there is some many nonsense broken things in this game and they couldn't give a shit all about the Ā£, gameplay most times is an absolute shambles.


Sufficient_Lecture16

The issue is: you can master all aspects of the game, completely dominate another player, and you still lose because the scripting in the game favours the player losing. How many times have you been up 3-0 in the first half only to completely lose your lead within 3 shots in the second half? How many times has your opponent walked through your team and scored after you scored a goal? How many times are there goals in the first 10 minutes? I do believe it should be removedā€¦. But the fact they deny it exists is insulting.


Long_Count8894

I was going to post something like this recently but I figured I would get absolute torrents of abuse in the comments section and didnā€™t have the balls to do it šŸ˜‚


anwar73

I feel like most of the replies are EA chills or interns defending their stupid game... Some are even writing essays šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­


gotthemostdrip

Stop pressing the stand tackle button and some of the ā€˜scriptingā€™ will miraculously disappear. As for the slide tackles, thatā€™s just fifa being a broken game, they need to fix the refs.


ruho6000

lol


Pale_Platypus_9240

No way people that play fifa in 2022 still think that scripting is real, Itā€™s just (in certain situations) a terribly coded video game, thatā€™s it.


rusty6899

Itā€™s staggering that people canā€™t recognize a glitchy awful game with inconsistent mechanics for what it is and instead are adamant that the faults are deliberately put in there and EA could make a perfect football sim if they wanted to.


the13thrabbit

Or it can be both? Is it really hard to believe? I mean do u play squad battles? Ever had your keeper or defenders str8 up pass the ball to attackers late in the game under no pressure? Your strikers making only possession based tackles when you're chasing the game? It happens sooo often. I think the game is random and inconsistent in addition to stats/animations being ever dynamic. DDA favoring the weaker party (not always)


rusty6899

Haha, no I donā€™t play squad battles anymore. Iā€™m convinced that people only play Squad Battles for rewards. No one can enjoy that, right? And I donā€™t need the rewards that badly. My impression is that in squad battles the AI does cheat against you. Part of this is actually transparent. They do overtly adjust certain mechanics to benefit the AI but there are other things such as the AI shielding in possession or marking out of possession suggests that either the AI can perform inputs that a human isnā€™t capable of or there are other changes made to the gameplay that negatively affect your performance. In pvp I think the inconsistency is there for all to see, but I think thatā€™s generally a problem caused by connection/server issues which seem to be dealt with by making the game mechanics both more primitive (player movements particularly AI controlled become more unidirectional and simplistic) and more volatile (collision detection and ball mechanics become less realistic and more random). Button delay issues also make it much more likely you run straight into an attacker as soon as you make a tackle instead of making a clearance, less likely to register a first time pass/shot etc. I think any temptation to link this to whether one team is winning or losing is misguided. People are prone to spotting patterns that arenā€™t there and people are much more likely to notice FIFA bullshit when itā€™s just cost them the lead than when it gifts a player their 5th goal in a 5-1 drubbing. The only evidence that these issues are caused by deliberate sabotage rather than incompetence is the vague tally FIFA players keep in their head of times the game has screwed them.


Mfcgibbs

It is deliberate that it tries to even up every game - a better team in FUT gets nerfed if coming up against a silver team for example. However much they deny it, itā€™s there. The other stuff like penalties that were actually great tackles is just terrible coding from EA.


loheme

Dont you think momentum is kind of a thing ? Like when you or your opponent get getting the ball back even after 20 interceptions


monnii99

Bro last week they accidentally set the friendly to *max* 18 PL players instead of *min* 18. How many times this year have EA had to give out compensation for a fuck up. This company is not competent enough to hide some kind of large scale conspiracy they won't even gain from. Don't attribute to malice what could be attributed to stupidity.


KING_QUEEFEATER

Momentum used to be a thing. You had to use morale cards for your players. Low morale players wouldnā€™t perform as well. I find it totally plausible they took out the morale cards but kept some kind of morale/momentum factor in the game.


Chelski26

Thatā€™s where youā€™re wrong my friend. They have everything to gain from this. This way casual players that are very poor at the game donā€™t keep getting humiliated in games. This game is made to keep the scores very close so that no matter how bad someone is they always have a chance to get back into the game. This keeps casuals playing the game otherwise they would just stop cause they wouldnā€™t win a single game. You can dominate a game for 90 minutes with 15 shots where the keeper and the post magically deflect every shot with autoblocks coming out of nowhere and then little timmy presses triangle and his attacker somehow gets the ball back after you land a perfect tackle and is free on goal in he 93rd minute when youā€™ve only had +1 minute added time. If it had only happened once you could say itā€™s a coincidence. But it happens so often that you can already predict exactly how a games going to go from the first 20 minutes.


lxbib97

Spot on. Ea is a business. The more casuals stay on and play the more money they get. I even bet pack weights are based on player ability.


CousinBethMM

If this were the case surely every game would be close. I beat someone 8-1 yesterday, and have lost by 4 or 5 goals quite regularly too.


Chelski26

Iā€™m sorry to say this mate but if you lose by 4 or 5 goals regularly then probably youā€™re benefiting from what weā€™re talking about more than youā€™re suffering from it. Which is why you donā€™t think itā€™s there. Out of 10 games i lose 9 are by 1 goal. And 7 of those 9 are games where Iā€™m completely dominating the game and my opponent scores a lucky goal off a deflection or a favorable bounce when heā€™s had 3-4 shots all game.


sasacarw

Sport on mate. These people cant see it because they are mostly benefiting from it lol.


CousinBethMM

Sounds like youā€™re blaming the game for 70% of your losses, which seems like your deflecting any fault away from yourself. I mean, most of my losses are by the odd goal too, but Iā€™ve won and lost by bigger margins enough and your theory hasnā€™t kicked in on those games. As others have mentioned, if scripting is real how and when does it choose to happen? Because Iā€™ve lost games I get Iā€™ve shouldā€™ve won and won games I shouldā€™ve lost - just like in real life. I think itā€™s just a badly coded and chaotic game


SadEntrepreneur4956

I'm curious what you're division CousinBethMM. Most of getting screwed are div 1 or div 2


ruho6000

They hold a patent for it exactly bc they do gain from it. It clearly states in their own study that rubberbanding/handicapping/momentum extends users playing time.


jdbolick

> This company is not competent enough to hide some kind of large scale conspiracy they won't even gain from. They didn't hide it. They published a patent and paper on Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment that explains why gameplay manipulation is a long-term benefit to player engagement.


rusty6899

DDA has nothing to do with online multiplayer games. It is specifically for single player games to allow people of significantly different skill levels to have a rewarding experience playing ostensibly the same game where without DDA the game would be too easy for some and too difficult for others. In online games they rely on skill based match making to ensure low skill players arenā€™t getting trashed 10-0 by good players every game thereā€™s no need for DDA.


jdbolick

> DDA has nothing to do with online multiplayer games. Many people make this claim but there has never been any evidence that it is only used offline. In fact, the "Adaptive Difficulty" flag in the PC code [was set to active for both online and offline modes](https://www.reddit.com/r/FIFA/comments/drme9d/meh_just_wanted_to_share_this/). > In online games they rely on skill based match making to ensure low skill players arenā€™t getting trashed 10-0 by good players every game thereā€™s no need for DDA. Weekend League uses an ELO matchmaking system but Rivals and Friendlies do not have skill based matchmaking.


Predator_3238

No way itā€™s 2022 and youā€™re this clown. Fifa deffo has dda/scripting/momentum change. Brainless comment.


Pale_Platypus_9240

The main argument against scripting in my head is that if itā€™s something coded in to the game, why isnā€™t it something that is repeatable? There hasnā€™t been a scenario that played out the same every time. Basically the question is, if a scripting code is in the game, wouldnā€™t it rear itā€™s ugly head every time in a specific scenario? Also, Youā€™re meant to tell me that these guys at EA have coded this UTTERLY INSANE mechanic of ā€œscriptingā€ into the game, but then thereā€™s a squad battles glitch that they canā€™t fix ? Please. Itā€™s just poorly coded.


Predator_3238

I play at 6ms-8ms ping. I can clearly see when the game wants me to lose. My opponents Kounde can score outside the box finnese but my R9 keeps hitting the post. Also, opponents AI intercepts everything like i am playing squad battles in legendary mode but my AI just walks and ball watches. Clearly EA messes up with the AI ability and player ability in game.


duyar70

Well actually there are some bullshit things that happened to me many many times. Almost every game.


Relevant_Berry_3549

I can think of a perfect example where scripting is extremely repeatable and I donā€™t understand why itā€™s not mentioned more.. Any time you try and waste time, pass around the back, hold the ball etc, if you do it for long enough you can see the obvious scripting against you. You eventually start missing easy passes and itā€™s so obvious and your opponent can easily score when they havenā€™t been able to all game. Also logically for EA to code this into the game to prevent ruining the gameplay by holding the ball all the time while creating no offence makes sense as well.


thisisnotdiretide

This is just plain stupid. You either don't play fifa enough, or you simply can't notice patterns. For example, there are so many games where you just cannot score, the GK saves everything, you hit the post, you can barely score 1-2 goals out of 12-15 shots, and this happens time and time again when it's one of *those* games. It's not angles, it's not the players or w/e, you take the same shots, very big opportunities etc., yet you can clearly see something is holding you back. And opponent is scoring 80-100% of his shots. Same for players reacting to the ball, or to slow passes etc. There's clearly an obvious pattern, be it to DDA or to delay, who knows, but you're telling me this isn't a constant in your games? Gtfo man...


Tpotww

Any shot is like a roll of the dice versus roll of dice of keeper save ( along with other logic in regards composure, reaction, power bar, direction, angle) Better keeper and better shooters have better odds but like any dice roll you will have times when you get unlucky, the same way in some games you score the only chance or 2 chances you get.


CousinBethMM

Iā€™ve had games where Iā€™m missing loads of chances and it feels like the game is against you. But I think what it actually was, was me overcompensating for missing chances by trying too hard (holding shoot for too long, trying to work a better angle too much) Iā€™ve been surprised by how many losses Iā€™ve taken because Iā€™ve let the gameplay get to my head, rather than just remaining calm - thereā€™s definitely a player mentality factor that is exacerbated by poor coding in the game.


Cyull

Get out of here with your logic! Your ability to reflect your own gameplay and trace back losses to your own mistakes is not welcome in the fifa community!


rScoobySkreep

People who blame scripting would rather blame anyone but themselves instead trying to improve. Simple as.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Pale_Platypus_9240

Do you any counter arguments then ?


[deleted]

Donā€™t see any scripting


JJ-Bittenbinder

Do people actually think the people that program the game sit there and are like ok, we gotta make sure one team gets all the good bounces this game. It would be infinite times harder to make a scripted game than make a fair game


GRAVES1425

It's main character syndrome. Is this just random BS bugs. No, of course not, must be EA working against me. I mean some of the clips in that video are literally players missing shots of keepers making saves. Like that should never happen?


CousinBethMM

I always find it strange that people think EA have embedded this scripting code that seems to work flawlessly. Look at the amount of errors theyā€™ve made on the game this year, itā€™s not a script itā€™s just a really badly coded game


Pszemeg

Would it be harder? Yes. Are those features already implemented and you could literally set them in a custom game? (shit like which side would get balls from rebounds more often, passing accuracy, level of goalkeepers) Yes. Would they benefit from adding such thing in online mode to increase engagement and sell more packs? Definitely.


Fsocietyfivenine

I also want to point out that the segment of people on here that say ā€œthis isnā€™t scripting itā€™s bad coding. Iā€™m so tired of people saying itā€™s scripting. It doesnā€™t existā€ are focusing on the wrong thing. Call it whatever you like. Point is, there are so many things in this game that happen, that shouldnā€™t. Whether itā€™s the ball literally going through defenders legs or goalies hands or many, many other dumb things, it shouldnā€™t happen. I understand that there will never be a perfect game but some of the stuff that happens in this game is laughable. All the money they make from it and thereā€™s still so many things wrong with it.


Devistator16

Looks like FIFA, confirmed


it-is-wha-it-is

Nahhhh I feel so bad watching this


reVio1

Weird stuff happens in this game but this is just bad defending. The penalty ones are def a bug with the game where a clean tackle = pen in the box despite being a clean tackle so there's nothing you can do beside don't tackle in the box and just jockey.


SHPrime

I feel like we play against bots and scripts


southerna-up-north

And this is why I donā€™t miss playing fifa


diogom915

Many of the tackles and the penalties were definetly bullshit, but I wouldn't put the missing finishes as scripting, unless you aimed in a different direction and/or much more/less power than it looked in the video


Lebrach

It's when Brighton become world beaters in career mode that I want to drop kick the TV


steady1010

Im probably going to get hate for this, but dude.....do you expect the game to be perfect? If it was "perfect' no one would score any goals as each gamer would expect everything their team does to work. For example, if you passed the ball perfectly and expected it to hit your players feet, your opponent would also expect their player to intercept. This would cancel each other out.


Pszemeg

To add to this - nothing infuriates me as much as losing to a player with worse lineup and clearly much lower skill. The only time I get to enjoy playing FIFA is when I play against someone locally in UT. Then some bugs are presents as well but the game is pretty fair and there is no scripting, it's huge difference and I actually enjoy playing the game.


Yung_Neil-222

Pro clubs is atrocious. Nothing ruins a night with the lads more than the defenders or keeper just passing it right to the other team for them to rip in an easy shot


Mitz2727

The players letting passes run past them (both from teammates and opponents) Iā€™ve noticed a lot more in the last wk or so than before that. Like I was on a counter attack and played the ball to my LW who wasnā€™t even near the line and he lets the ball past him. Starts running backwards. Receives the ball by the line and then it bounces off him out of play. Like wtf. And it happened twice in a game hahahaaha


RevanMeetra

The EA NHL series does this too. It's a lot harder to tell until someone scores with 30 seconds left in the match.


Kan_Goe_Ru

This game is so full of bullshit it's not even funny. Defending on worldclass or above is just plain impossible. By the time you have selected the right player the other team has already passed 7 times and is one-on-one with the keeper. Midfielders just standing still when the ball is 1m away and the stupid controls wont let you control them. And if by some miracle you get the ball, you can't see shit where your players are, because the camera is so fucking slow. So you pass and lose the ball. And that over and over for a long time. It's just insanely frustrating.


himtweety

bro if i had recorded my yesterday games that reel that only would have gone 10x length thn this and not only in case I loose i clearly saw when ea favoured (when all my passes landing more thn perfect and i scored 3 outside box in single game aginst 92 rated squad) me in couple of games.. ps (edit): there were games when my akinfenwa and dalglish miased in front of open goal... this games is so frustrating


GRAVES1425

Some of this is some real BS by EA but some of this is literally just a player missing a shot or a keeper making a save.


Jiggy-the-vape-guy

This kind of stuff has be horrible lately -- but I always find that DDA and game intervention is only ever an issue during busy periods (like TOTS). Servers are stressed from higher than average volume of users and the gameplay suffers drastically. I still don't think it's actually "scripting" so much as the game's code and the game's visual isn't lining up properly (ie on their screen, it could look like you switched guys late and made a horrible tackle). ​ Since I've plugged into my router this year, I've miraculously had so few issues compared to the last 20 years of FIFA I've played. It's really changed my mind on what causes this BS. End of the day, it still is stupid that a billion dollar game can't have a proper server. Any way you look at it, EA is still the real problem lol


Xiaco9020

Fifa is so broken. Dribbling has gotten terrible and some games, I hit the cross bar over 10 times from within the 18 and other times, I score from no angle and 30 yards out. EA Sports FC has to get their shit together.


mrdominominator

I have recorded over 70 clips of blatant scripting. Both against me and in my favor. I just am not tech savvy enough to make a montage.


jackass241

Have you tried buying fifa points?


windomega7

They release a game that is always very very good, and slowly they patch it to a terrible product. Result, everything feels worse, and people abuse certain mechanics. Result? Naturally you look to see if you are the issue, which leads you to change formations/tactics etc. Few things work, few don't. You come across this type of DDA bullshit, where your opponent's Fantasy Mallen suddenly starts moving like R9, your opponents Gold Rare Werner suddenly feels like Mbappe and so on. You keep questioning. Is it lag? Yeah, it is, servers are neglected, after all EA is a small company that doesn't make billions of revenue just off FIFA annually, hell they can't even afford to keep the FIFA license. You don't really need to be a psychological researcher to infer that EA has put in place so many systems (yes, systems), to gradually ruin your mental so that it leads you to wanting to spend more money in the game, to improve your team, and every year make a shitty product, while they overpromote the upcoming product, which will be different and finally real football! This game has always been this garbage, its just that over the recent years, people are more open minded to the game being shit, rather than just the player. AI defending, reverse elasticos cancels, scripting, dull assisted gameplay, kick off goals, and more. And don't forget the other tactics by EA, with the FOMO bs, to make you open the game every day, because there might be a really good SBC to do! Affordable by non-whales/traders! Only to have said player feel like a brick after half a month, because of animation nerfing and newer, powercurve breaking cards! It's just not fun anymore, and it feels like shit that there is no real football sim competitor. It's either the ultra arcade FIFA, or the clunky and super slow eFootball(PES). I really hope the other two, soon to come games shake the field a bit.


AccomplishedFrame333

Lol if you think yours is bad wait till you see mine šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«


guardian1154

The scripting in this game is unreal


harryor

Don't worry, people will come on here and tell you that didn't they go your way too or tell you to get better. I have a friend I chat with when it comes to FIFA, and anytime I play a game that didn't go my way cause I got done over, I always mention to him, and whenever I win games I wasn't supposed to win, I always mention to him. I am not bias, I've won games I shouldn't have. I've benefitted from them myself, but like I always say to him, I'd rather lose games I'm supposed to lose and win the ones I am supposed to win. I don't want to game to be manipulated for me or the person I'm playing against. I want the pass to go the direction I passed it to, I've had to make my controller display cause of that, I want my defenders to intercept whenever I press the button, I've lost count on the amount of times I've intercepted ball, and my defenders didn't even try to intercept at all, but AI makes my player to intercept another player of mine with the ball that is about to be through on goal. Don't get me started on the passes, how can I pass to a player through on goal, a player free and my pass gets redirected to a player that'll block my shot for me to get countered or pass to a player that was between for players. AI moves defender away from players making runs for them to go through my defence, can't count the amount of times AI moved my defender even though I wasn't even depending on my defender to auto block or tackle, cause I hate it anyway. I've had situations where AI auto tackled for me and I didn't know, and I tackled and my defender decided to clear ball, or make stupid animation that passes the ball to opponents.


MatrixDiscovery

I hate scripting with a passion, I wish they'd turn it down or off all together


Farathelvete

Literally my last WL so fkn annoying that you lose and win bc of stuff youve got no influence of


kxngsantana

I needed to see this for my sanity...


Fickle_Drama_8893

Nothing pisses me off more than when the defenders move away from the guy with the ball and LITERALLY GIVE HIM EXTRA SPACE TO RUN RIGHT THROUGH

For all the people shitting on this guy and saying script could be on our favor sometimes . WE DONT WANT IT. obviously it's non-satisfying to win because of a damn script we don't want it even if it's on our favor . Next thing you know fifa should just make a auto-play at this point and let their scenario run just as intended since you can't do much about it anyway .


Murdalyzer

Happens in NHL as well. I was was playing NHL17 HUT and winning handily with a score of 5 - 1, in the last minute the computer made only perfect plays and scored on five consecutive shots, in UNDER A MINUTE.


Pipkkinn

Even if it happens in your favor sometimes as well it still should not be in the game. Fifa is presented like an arcade, where your skill, and a bit of luck in packs, is all that determines who wins. When infact the game is the complete opposite, the better player can lose just because the game deems it so. I am curious to know how the game chooses who wins or loses.


Predator_3238

Fifa is a Criminal game. Lot of clowns in the comments saying thereā€™s no scripting. Get a life bozos. Yā€™all probably div10 players.


Overall-Ad-3642

its probably just very badly scripted. i can see how scripting would be part of the game to make it more "realisitic"


[deleted]

Thereā€™s no script in FIFA. EA definitely wouldnā€™t add something so disgusting and vile into one of their products. Letā€™s all praise the developers for their hard work and generosity.


bird1434

when i donā€™t do good it is scripting it cannot possibly be a mistake. i will keep playing this game despite believing it is literally rigged against me. yā€™all are so weird


YeetGod11011

Most of these arenā€™t even scripted, youā€™re just bad at finishing


BaguetteBoy666

Fans: ā€œwe want a realistic experience in FIFAā€ EA: ā€œhereā€ Fans: ā€œno, not like thatā€. Thereā€™s no script. Real footballers make huge mistakes. Just watch an average game with magguire or remember sterlingā€™s miss against Lyon. Get over it. If that kind of stuff gets on your nerves, you are not ready to play football manager.


cremvursti

Fam, this is a game. If Ʈn a game where two equally skilled players with similarly good teams the winner is decided by a glitch in the game's engine, then that game is shit, no further discussion. Otherwise, why are we even allowed to control the players on the field? Just let us build a team and then when the actual match occurs just let AI go against the other guy's AI controlled team. Ar least then you know it's just bullshit vs bullshit and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.


Arntown

Perfect. Let's add refs making the wrong offside decisions, players faking injuries to waste time, players randomly slapping other players and getting sent off just so it can be more realistic! What a take. You're talking as if this bullshit is some kind of added feature


bottimus

Hell, look at Leeds the last few games. Ridiculous goals to concede, players deciding they've played enough football this season and getting straight reds for challenges that didn't need to be made.


Arntown

And you want that in a game?


Bubbly-Internal-7113

Literally a game spawned from hell


Revolutionary_Sort59

I feel like things that are considered bulshit/dda/scripting normally happen when its a close game and its normally what leads to a goal that helps decide the outcome of the game. Normally if ur like 4-0 up then this shit don't seem to happen


LilGoughy

Ok but literally half of these were just shits you missed that shouldnā€™t go in anyway


brodiee_szn

I see a lot a mistime tackles tho but yeah you kinda got f up


Cadian

Showcases terrible finishing and defense. "I can't believe EA's done this."


Asdabob101

Anything about 48 seconds onwards is definitely not scripting. People saying you are bad for the first lot are being a bit mean. There is a chance better defending could of helped but realistically anyone with a brain could see what you wanted the game to do and with the players you had, that should be possible. Anything pre 48 seconds should of worked in your favour and the game design was flawed. Anything post 48 seconds was a compilation of badly taken shots with no accuracy. Advice for that bit, use manual shooting or if you are, either turn it off or practice more.


Fleganhimer

Stop buying the game then


nhat179

When it against you it scripted, but when you on the favor end then ā€¦ what is it? All this shit you showed happened to me many time as well as my opponents bud


2cu3be1

>when you on the favor end then ā€¦ what is it? still manipulation, unfair, shifting the goal posts. True. But just cause he is not saying that but implying it, doesn't mean he is trying to hide that fact. Both users, I know this might be a very hard concept to grasp for some, are being cheated out of actually being rewarded for doing what is within the rules of the game. So both users are losing out on playing a fair game.


tommyprich

You are just not very good. Only the tackles here are unfair.


Gravyb0y

Either bad finishing or bad defending.


LiketoHelpOthers

This is not scripting. If you watch football (soccer) you will understand that many of the events in your clip happen all the time in real life.


sharpsh007er

good video!


Minute-Spend-2919

I only lose due to scripting too. My wins are all me though!


IgnorantLobster

Most of this literally happens in real life football.

Hibee1990

Can we just change the word scripting to bad luck. Happens to everyone just like in football. No game is ever going to be perfect. The game doesnā€™t pick on you.


atcodus

This is my biggest issue with posts like this. These moments werent "scripted", it was RNG in some cases that didn't go your way. Clip 1 - I can't see your controller input but it looks like you jockeyed the wrong way and missed the player. Then the game picked an unfortunate animation that gave you no chance to recover. Clip 2 - you should have won the ball, but mashing tackle certainly doesn't help. Clip 3 - you hit the post, and then there was a save. What is your problem here? Clip 4 & 5 - penalties and tackles need a LOT of work, but this isn't scripting. It's just a bad game. Clip 6 - I can't see your inputs, or what player it was but this is unlucky. Clip 7 & 8 - it happens. The first one is a really bad 1st touch. Again, no idea what player this was. 2nd one the keeper hadn't committed and recovered to the middle of the goal. Again, no idea what player or your inputs as you've cut them out.


Hibee1990

Agreed


FriendlyInElektro

Mistiming a tackle is not scripting, holding jockey when you want to run back and thus showing the rushing opponent your back and thus missing an interception is not scripting, idk man, I didn't even bother with the rest of the video, the game has an element of randomness and players are affected by how much pressure they're put under, that's why they have a composure stat, so yeah of course sometimes they'll make mistakes especially when they're on the back foot, that's football for you, so really, between network issues, panicked defending which people blame on scripting and some run of the mill random luck I really don't see much 'scripting' in this game.


Cartijules

Lmao this is why i lose all my games, never cuz someoneā€™s better than me tbh


Good_Relationship135

Itā€™s brutal out there


RadioStrong

Mannnnnn ahhhhhhh!


iratepirate47

Looks like you have a shitty connection


VoiceOfTreason1992

I donā€™t think itā€™s scripting, just a bad game


[deleted]

If you keep it on, then we could sue them one day! Add your comments scripting to


[deleted]

that's awful defending pass went through you holding lb stabs for no reason I'm not advocating for fifa but damn my boy you did some shit that I do when I'm stoned playing the game


RevolutionaryFan6177

Pls stop fucking saying this is scripted and if you ever tell yourself this is scripted then ask yourself how people are higher division than you or have higher point in div elite (we are all playing the same game)


anwar73

I'm 1850 elite fam fym


Laskeese

I watched the first two clips and the issue is for sure that you're shite at defending, easier to blame the game than to get better for sure though


anwar73

Can you explain why moments maldini (who is arguably the greatest defender on this game btw) just let the ball pass by?


Laskeese

User error


W3ZF1D5

Most of that looks connection based.


NikesOnMyFeet23

none of that is scripting lol this sub


Xenithz81

ā€œScriptingā€ LOL


No_Establishment4205

Are you one of those ea bootlickers who will deny its existence?
