its fuckin insane how much is in this game compared to the latest madden. forget the minicamps, it had scouting reports, actual relocation with multiple options, the tony bruno radio show with multiple real interviews with player and coaches, etc. its insane how much they used to pour into it. sad that microtransactions are everywhere now. used to be worth the $50.

The problem is as simple as this:

>06
2 x Barca
2 x Real Madrid
1 x Juventus
1 x Inter
1 x Chelsea
1 x United
1 x Milan
1 x Bayern

So 8 teams in total.

>26
3 x Liverpool
3 x Real Madrid
1 x PSG
2 x City

So 4 teams in total.

Talent congestion at the big clubs instead of having star players spread out has completely killed the entertainment value of football.

While I do agree the rating systems were completly cracked in the older fifa games. rvrn prime ronaldo and messi never reached 95 overall in the fifa 11-16 games

Goes to show how much soccer isn’t marketed over here, or this board is oversaturated with SNAC soccer threads - I believe both are true
