Twitch streamer suspects a cause of the weaker gameplay in the Weekend League

In EA FC 25, some fans have been complaining about less fun in the past few days. A well-known German Twitch streamer also thinks that the gameplay has become worse, especially in the Weekend League, and has a theory of why the game is currently not going well there.

What kind of streamer is that? Simon “Gamerbrother” Schildgen is one of the most famous content creators for FC 25. He knows not only to convince with expensive packing opening, but also with good gameplay.

According to his own statements, he had a lot of fun with the new big gameplay refresh update from the beginning of January and was even really successful.

After the patch in the Weekend League (24th to 27th January) he got 14 wins from 15 games. He narrowly missed the best possible result in the most competitive competition in FC 25.

In the past Weekend League (January 31 to February 3), there was little left of the success, but above all of the fun. The gameplay gave him big problems. You can see his experiences together in a video on his YouTube channel:

What weaknesses were there with the gameplay? The Content Creator complained in FC 25 …

  • … Fast attackers who would be too easily obtained by defenders.
  • … simple passes that would be carried out too imprecisely.
  • … the stubbornness of his players in dribbling.
  • … Delayed explanations of his entries in runs, tricks, passports and shots.
  • … strange animations in which players would simply fall over or ride each other.
  • … a random factor that is too random factor, especially with regard to manual defending and blocked shots.
  • All of these aspects meant that the content creator ended the live stream early on Sunday (February 2) on its Twitch channel. On Monday (February 3) he made off-stream, i.e. without a spectator, the next attempt.

    It didn’t go much better even in another attempt. The expert dragged himself through the games more or less, because in his opinion the gameplay remained bad. He completed the Weekend League with hard -won 10 wins.

    What particularly excited him was the cause of the bad gameplay. According to his theory, there would be a problem that there was already FIFA times and would also appear again and again in EA FC.

    Streamer names EA’s server as the reason for the problems

    Why does Gamerbrother suspect a problem with the servers? According to his own statements, his observations coincided with those of many colleagues with whom he had spoken in the days before. They also came across the same problems in the Weekend League.

    As the cause, Gamerbrother once again suspects the EA server. Above all, the delayed execution of the input boards and the slobfulness in the actions of its players are clear indications of server problems.

    Some fans also blame the servers for bad gameplay

    Problems with the servers have already been one of the main criticisms of many streamers and fans in the past. In the Subreddit “EA Sports FC” you will find hundreds of contributions from past years in the search function under the search term “EA Server” that address this problem and are provided with countless reactions and comments.

    One of the latest discussions about the connection between server problems and worse gameplay on Reddit is also about this topic. The problems described are almost identical to the Gamerbrothers observations:

    User Studgeynwa reports on Reddit in the thread addressed …

  • … “Slow attacker,”
  • … “Players who leave the ball back”
  • … “And bad ball control.”
  • In summary, Studgeynwa speaks of asynchronity that would be noticeable in the game as follows: “While one user is fully synchronized, the other is not. Your game client could think that the ball is at point X or y while the actual position is A or B. ”(Via Reddit)

    And he continues: “This non -agreement does not lead to connections, but causes problems – missed tackles, players who run past the ball, unnecessary additional ball touches, delays in shooting or tackling.” (Via reddit)

    Many users agree to his explanations, report similar problems and come to the same conclusion.

    Parts of the community see the danger that the positive tendency that was in the relationship between EA Sports and the Community to the Team of the Year (Toty) could quickly turn back into negative. Some fans already trusted EA at the gameplay refresh and in the recently shown generosity of the Toty: FC 25 supplies the community with strong players and updates-fans suspect: “EA hit where it hurts”
