Is There A Skill Gap in EAFC 24?

Hey guys,
Today we dive into the question a lot of people ask about FIFA: Is there a skill gap? Short answer, technically yes. But that's not the question you should be asking. Rather, you should ask "is the skill gap good?" And that is a resounding no. Let's talk about it

The biggest skill gap is taking corners and crosses. There are people who can consistently finish a header from a corner. I get 11-14 wins every week but i cannot score a header from a corner or a cross if my life depended on it.

Ea fc is the most assisted game ever. Not only it adjust the difficulty to help you or against you, but you can even tell when the goal will happen and if the opponent is bad in shooting, the game will make it happen, either your gk will stamble or kick it and rebounds to go in.... Ea still has huge control who should win and who should lose

The skill gap is tightening as well. The only positive I’ll say is they nerfed skill moves this year so it defo knocked those spammers down a tier which is refreshing.

I love my defenders offside line. There is always that one mf who is just running with the opponent player leaving the rest of the defenders a way back behind him.

there is one mechanic in this game no one ever complains about and to me its what kills the game for me, its the people who just hail mary tackles no timing nothing just RB+B and theg get tackles no foul ever whether its attacker or defender not to forget if by the off chance someone misses a tackle they can just tackle instantly again

I’ve been playing ut since FIFA 14 and have just left the game, deleted it, I think there’s no hope. Trying to give support to you in hopes the game get better, keep it up.

Having played Fifa games from 1997 I can stay imo there is a skill gap still there in FC 24.

The problem is since Fifa17 its been getting smaller and smaller to appease new/poor players.
Fifa17 for me was the pinnacle of Fifa, yes it still hd its flaws and metas but if you were the better ball player, triggering runs, seeing passes, using 2nd man press, manual defending and playing fast fluent 1-2 football you were rewarded 99% of the time.

Now Id still say that is the best way to win still, however the metas and tactics added by EA have killed it, I honestly believe they leave them in the game on purpose so everyone finds it easier to defend and easier to score goals.

And the AI attacking movement is absoloutly terrible, but if Fifa17 and previous Fifas the AI actually mate smart runs into space, now they run down blind alleys, they hide behind defenders, but then to make it worse AI defending, remember if an AI player made a run.
You would have to switch to the correct defender, follow the run with your CONTROLLED player while simultaneously doing a 2nd man press to the ball carrier, and then if the pass isnt made you can quickly switch to the presser and tackle.
Now all this is almost done automatically.
The balance between attacking AI and defensive AI is so far off.

Remove drop back
Remove constant pressure
Fix AI attacking movement
Reduce AI defending significantly
Remove goalkeeper movement.

These simple things would improve Fifa so much but removing this increases the skill gap ten fold and EA are scared to do that to retain the poorer players and make money off them in FUT.
Rant over 😂

Agree with every point you made.

For me this year's game is also so so so mentally draining ( depends on the oppenent ) ... but mb it's for the better.

My god it feels good to have a video that confirm everything i think of the game, i m not crazy when i think the game makes no sense.
Great video thank you 🙏

0:42 omg that’s litterally me philosophically questioning the skillgap of a VIDEOGAME 😂😂😂

[talalabuissa]

I believe EA is not fine tuning the game on purpose because they want to maximize the profits. I mean they could benefit from always making your team needing improvements so you could buy FIFA points and try to pack the best cards in game. For example, R9 is on whole different level in terms of AI movement compared to other strikers in game including icons.

Bro, i was qualified for fut champ, and my first game was horrible!!! My passing was not going to the player i passed it to. My opponent fell over my defender, and that was a foul r penalty. I had 20 game to play, and when i lost the first one because of that, i gave the next 19 opponent a win cause I can't play against them and cheating game. Im sick of this game, and ea!!!! How can my opponent that a shot the ball hit my goalkeeper, then ball is infront of my goalkeeper bt instead of kicking away the ball my keeper decided to take it time and get up when the opponent is rushing in to goal the goal.... make it make sence!!!!

[eldins.]

Even with 99 pace the players get caught up by the defenders in this game... i cant even qualify for fut champs anymore, where in the previous fifa's it was easy... did i got worse from fifa 23 to this game i dont think so... its something in this game i cant describe, it fells like playing a final boss on the hardest difficulty in every match, pure pain... great video, all the best ❤

[MrHaMdOoN]

2:52 I feel like skill gape becomes vast with every version of FIFA. I used to have very close game almost all the time. Now, either hammer or get hammered!

I don't understand how they ruined such a good matchmaking!

[prodbyyasuke]

There was a huge skill gap for me. I don't play Meta. Even remotely. I'm decent at mechanics now, but learning to play how they want me to play has been difficult. I like build up through my mid field, heavy possession type shit. With attacks out to the wing throughout the game to keep my opponents guessing...but between my opponents not having to guess because their VVD somehow steps in the block my green timed shot... while they can't even get their player switch right... or how Eusebio, Mbappe or a blocky turning Holland doesn't know how to lose the ball when tackled or being forced to play a game of defending cut backs has been the migraine of my existence.

Sidenote: I deliberately play with ass players because i believe skill should be the deciding factor, not whether you can spam mechanics. I lose quite a bit and know my choice of play definitely plays a part, but I also know every win I do get was based on my skill, and not because I'm running a team of icons through Div 8 😢

[BrokenWorD]

The worst of it all that I the game play is slow and is so boring cause nobody wants to do anything else besides running a long the line and cut back after cut back. It is so boring. And then I go to squad battles to try to have fun and guess what the cpu does all the time run along the line and cut back hahah. I could not believe I had to take a double look and for a moment cause I really thought I log in rivals again. Is crazy sad

[KevRMA]

I really miss the attacking AI we had in 17 man. Logical you can't attack from the middle cause there is almost no movement at all. It's crazy how they still haven't boost the attacking AI yet. That's the most important thing why the previous games are so boring. We need some freaking movement up front...

[johncosimo]

Biggest skill gap is called Server Connection Quality. Prove me wrong.

[stevetherush]

I conceded 6 yesterday coz my players love being bad at tackling

Note that before then i had conceded 4 in 5 matches, then all of a sudden...every tackle gives the attacker a beautiful ball😢😢

[Shemzinho]

The funniest/saddest part about attacking AI is that they added player locking in the game out of necessity
