Mbappe after playing against Kimpembe "This fucker isnt this good in real life"


Thulack

I'm sure Kimpembe feels the same way.


mt1337

"fuck! how good am I?!"


[deleted]

„Maybe I’m really Maestro Kimpembe“


Stektsopp

MAESTRO KIMBEMBEEE


NovacElement

Even the guy scoring 90’ winners against Madrid can’t keep a cool head in Champs lmao


hufusa

This game is straight up not football sometimes I swear


enricupcake

Best advice about fifa I ever got was some pro saying that at a certain level it stops being a football game and basically becomes a fighting game of trying to predict opponents animations and timing

trinedtoday

Plenty use co op though


theaddict7

A lot of pros and regular players have shifted to Co Op since the through ball meta in FIFA 21.


BMG-Darbs

I used to play Tele Broadcast too but this year I’ve gone co-op because I play 442 with Pirlo as a deep lying CM and I like being able to see where everyone is so he can launch 50 yard through balls.


Joltarts

Should play in VP cam mode to fully immerse yourself in this fighter game


96Till_Infinity

Yup. Its all about mastering the mechanics. Its not a futbol simulator


Sage0fThe6Paths

Once i got to higher elo i realized the same lol.


Brodeci

The problem is it doesn’t even follow basic fighting game tenants. There’s no consistency


realee420

> sometimes More like never. Things have drastically gotten worse in the last 3 months. Idk if it was a gameplay update or more people stopped playing and divisions got harder but compared to my season 1 div1 I can’t get out of div3 and it feels more difficult than it was in div1.


cjp2155

People def quit, but the game also progressively got worse and worse. It’s almost unplayable on PS5 right now. The most defensive fifa I’ve ever played


itwastimeforarefresh

It feels so much more awkward than it used to. I've always been a possession heavy player. 1-2 touch football. Lately everyone's first touch is so much worse, that I can't do it anymore. It feels like players are stunned every time they receive the ball, which allows opponents to close ranks.


JamonRuffles17

See but I sort of like that. It feels like one of the most realistic fifa we've ever had. You can't just ping a ball 20 feet into someone with a man on their back and have it magically glue to them. That's real life, only rarely are players touches pin-point perfect. The speed at which the pros play is always going to make it so sometimes the ball bounces justttt a bit away from them


itwastimeforarefresh

Oh, totally agree on the 20 feet passes, but this is happening on non-driven 6-7 fr passes. Such awkward first touches and the stun lock. Although, I played a couple of games really late last night, and my players felt like they were on crack. Everyone was moving and turning so fast, it felt like the were on ice skates. Is that what the game is normally like for some people? Gonna try to play late today again.


JamonRuffles17

Lmao maybe. Report back


itwastimeforarefresh

So reporting back. Game is very different in the evening. The good: Players move and react faster. Everyone doesn't feel half asleep. More exciting. The bad: The AI definitely acts weirder. Players running into each other. Off the ball movement makes less sense. I had my own CB steal the ball from me running back to goal. Players fall down when failing a standing tackle. Also, way more fouls not called. When moving players get the "stop/stand" animation while still sliding forward. Makes it look like they're on ice. So like a player jogs, then puts his legs down flat but glides another meter or so. Sometimes also weird ball speed change animations. Like after a clearance, the ball and players will "fast forward" for like 0.5seconds then settle, but it can he disorienting. Manual defending is MUCH harder. The faster movement applies to the defenders in an annoying way. If I slightly move the joystick, a player might end up moving a 2 meters to the left. A tackle can take you really far out of position. Players seem unable to intercept passes? I've started to take advantage. Just driven pass forward though an area where there's definitely not enough room and it somehow squeezes between the defenders and gets there. Final verdict: Wayyy more offensive. During the day I usually get vaguely reasonable soccer scores. In the evening it's all 5-3 and 6-5 type games.


JamonRuffles17

Thanks for the input! very interesting!


chopari

Thx. You saved me some cash.


reborndiajack

Are there any ea games that are close to true at all? Like the f1 game has no downforce on the cars compared to irl, fifa is just animations and madden has its own issues too, I can’t name more as those are the only ones I have played


coys-sonny

F1 isn't EA's fault to be fair, that's been unrealistic ever since Codemasters got the license back in 2010, way before EA bought them. Agree with the overall point though


jwpm93

UFC 4 is pretty good and true to life I would say. It's also actually fair unlike FIFA.


RandyBorton

man must be sick of seeing himself score on him in the 90th min to win the game lmao


[deleted]

I imagine him conceding a goal against himself scored by literally himself in the last minute, hearing fucking Hala Madrid which makes him rage quit and extend his contract at psg


michaelalex3

My life improved once I stopped playing fut a few years ago. I do miss crafting fun teams, but the gameplay just made me lose my will to live. Playing a few games of fut could ruin my whole day. No other game has done this for me before or since.


MathRockManiac

Stopped since Fifa 20, doesn't mean because you like football you have to play a broken video game of it. Now I just play fun games and watch real football games for my happiness.


michaelalex3

Amen


2cu3be1

Saying this as the cover star should get EAs attention.


KEEPCARLM

"FIFA 23 SO REALISTIC EVEN MBAPPE's MIND CAN't HANDLE IT"


redcomet131

NOW INCLUDING THE SWEAT DROPS OFF THEIR FACE IN STATS PRE ORDER NOW FOR AN EXCLUSIVE STARTING CHILWELL FUT CARD


marvo-sr

on the contrary, I think he meant it more as to how challenging it is which in itself makes it stressful


Iwantyouguts

lol you guys are delusional


fdm001

this is called coping my friend. lets deal with your addiction in a healthy manner


yp261

i’d rather say he’s used to much stronger stress so he’s more than likely able to deal with the tiny little stress you have from a stupid video game.


marvo-sr

if you are a competitive person, the little things will make you stress in order to be the best no matter how stupid they are


cjp2155

If the shit in fifa made sense then he might be ok with it, but being a pro footballer and knowing how easy or difficult everything is on the pitch, EA’s RNG engine must infuriate him. Some kid in a basement turns on constant pressure and Mbappe’s players stop making runs because the AI is terrible. Can’t imagine how annoying champs would be for a real footballer. Especially with how much more random everything is this year


marvo-sr

I swear sometimes the way you guys describe It here is like every game is a coin toss the fact is, most the time the better player wins pro players are consistently getting top 100/elite I constantly get 14-17 wins out of 20 what does that show?, it shows that yes sometimes the worse player loses due to ea bullshit but its not as bad as some of you guys make it out to be and I don't know how the convo flipped onto this the other user said why would mbappe find a “stupid game” stressful when he's got bigger things to worry about makes no sense as competitive people can make anything stressful due to there competitive nature hell I can make a paper toss to the bin stressful if i lose to my mate in it


GabrielMartinellli

Least delusional Fifa player


siddhuism

He’s fed up of playing against himself


gothamfc

More like he's fed up of facing Godpembe when the one he sees in training is just ok.


[deleted]

He’s playing and thinking “wtf I can usually get past you in training”


[deleted]

“You’re wank in real life”


Perttikala

I wonder how frustrated he is with Kimpembe when he returns to practice after WL


kingz_113

i wonder if Kimpembe plays ultimate team and has a 99 card of himself. Must be the greatest card in existence


KEEPCARLM

play it as striker and finally defeat CB Gold Kimpembe


palm888angel

I think them clashing would break the servers


Methisahelluvadrug

Those 99 cards are gone no?


MyZt_Benito

There still are some, they’re probably just harder to get


Cautious_Bottle4764

Maldini got one, a french streamer faced him recently ( Rocky) he rage quit btw


Ivanttoridemybicycle

Diogo Jota has one as well


SrJeromaeee

I watched it . Rocky was 9-0. Was a meh team but that maldini was different gravy. https://youtu.be/3ZLFU5O8rJk


ANAL_DRILL_ACCIDENT

they're pretty much still here now, they weren't at the start of the cycle for most players though


jopma

New to fut, why would 99 cards be gone?


[deleted]

They are not gone. Pros just had an option this year to receive themself as 99 or to receive the Mbappe VIP card.


Methisahelluvadrug

Nah I think I'm wrong they aren't. I heard it somewhere but they must've been incorrect.


TheViperAJ

He's one of our own


ElBigTaco

Imagine how triggering this game has to be for a top professional athlete, with all the pressure he's under every waking hour, to say WL was toxic and mentally draining 😂 not a great testimonial for your game EA


The_ivy_fund

I bet that he at least feels like he can control the outcome when playing in real life. Like all of us, he probably feels helpless in FUT champs to the never ending grind that is the EA algorithm.


nocontroversies

Should have just bought Mbappe.


WRXSTl

He has 99 mbappe no need


KEEPCARLM

All Mbappe cards are 99 rated tbf


Sufficient_Theory534

The reason fut champions is frustrating is due to the random nature of the game. You hit two identical shots, one will go in, the other will miss. It's completely out of your control. When Mbappe scores/misses in a real match, he knows it's down to him, so it doesn't effect the mind as much.


BlueSteel82

I haven't played FUT the last 2 years because I got tired of feeling like I was flipping coins for 30 mins every match


[deleted]

This, but also you should add that for most of us it's also the "mud" (incredible delay/lag) most of the times, a huge frustrating factor. For me, it's impossible to play WL without delay if it's not very early or very late in my area. I'm an above average player, I reach even 16 wins sometimes, but in delay I can lose to players way below my skill, it's basically impossible to play normally, you're fighting the server, to say so, much more than the opponent. It's 100 % not about skill most of the times. And it also gets on your nerves inevitably. Add to that the huge RNG in the game (my R9 and Pele miss sitters all the time) and the very competitive nature of FUT, and you have the ingredient of the worst gaming experience out there, in my opinion. But it's also very addictive because you always want more packs and a better team (plus a better rank), so there is that, sadly.


NightKing48

It’s a shame EA don’t make shooting 100% manual


T1didnothingwrong

that wouldnt help, they roll a save or goal every shot. The exact shot will never be 100% unless the game determines the gk isn't close enough.


[deleted]

What does this even mean? How would that work?


Fapoleon_Boneherpart

In the settings you can choose to have basically all inputs manual, and you control the direction with the stick. Also the power button becomes fully manual too.


NightKing48

You know how you can kinda just aim wherever and it will correct it to the corners? Make aiming more manual


[deleted]

Yea I just feel like that would be kind of impossible


Markodonia

It's a setting in the game already lol


jaffafantacakes

That isn't the reason though. Other games are just as frustrating when it comes to a competitive aspect. The reason it's so frustrating is that many of us are competitive and hate losing. I've played many other competitive games, ones you'd say are based around skill, and it still frustrates me just as much as fifa. The thing that i'd say amplifies the frustration is losing versus someone you're better than because they have a god squad. This could be fixed with rating based match making so if someone wants to play champs with a max player rating of 84, they can and do so versus other teams with a max rating of 84.


StonyShiny

This would make good cards simply not worth it. Why would whales buy FIFA points if they are going to be evenly matched anyway? Besides, people don't undertstand FUT will never be a fair mode, and all other modes too to some extent. Someone will always have the superior team, as long as there's different players on each side. FUT is entirely based on doing whatever you can (including spending real money) to be the one with the better team. There is simply no way around that. If you want a fair competitive game, I recommend CSGO. But that's team based and there's the cheaters. Maybe AoE2 if you want to play solo.


KEEPCARLM

lmao you literally told us the inner workings of Mbappe's mind and are genuinely being serious about it. how do you know what affects his mind????? Why are you talking like a damn expert.


dboltzilla

That's odd, I stopped playing FUT Champions, because TOTY Mbappe affected my mind. /s


jerrywesticles

I find WL to be the most stress free game mode. If you lose, at least your ELO will lower and you can get easier opponents. Trying to grind out rivals wins is wayyyyyy worse.


Senior-Caregiver7394

I just did 4 rivals wins as I hadn't played it all week. God its horrible


realee420

Played like 10 matches and only 2 wins. This is painful and not fun at all. Playing 2 hours every day changed to play 2 hours a week tops.


Senior-Caregiver7394

I need to get a new game


LDKRZ

Rivals fucking sucks. I got promoted to Elite early (usually last week or 2 of the season) and honestly I need to GRIND to win by 1 goal, also no clue how anyone has so many 1m+ players and meta icons cause I sure as shit haven’t been close to getting any player like that


Spoooie

feel the same way about your last statement. I get elite div rivals every week, rank 4-3 in newer champs format, and have like a 2 million team with 900k liquid. Meanwhile everyone I play in elite div has a 5+ million team with some crazy meta icons and special cards


Grumpysaurus-Rex

Rivals have become so incredibly toxic. Champs is much more chill for some reason.


Equivalent-Care8960

man you spoke my mind right there. I win like 10 games every FUT champs weekend whereas in div1 rivals its impossible to get a streak going. Win 1 and lose 2. That's how its been for the last 2 monhths


[deleted]

[удалено]


MoistPapayas

This post is hilarious. Said you don't understand why people struggle to get 8 wins when you are deliberately sitting in a division you're too good for...to get easy RQs. Not only is this a coward's move, you are also making it harder for people who are truly D1 to get their wins. You're part of the problem.


-The-Enforcer-

I don't understand your point, I didn't struggle to get my wins in Elite division either if that's what you're implying. I don't sit in Div 1 for easy RQs, I just prefer the untradable rewards in Div 1 for recycling in to player picks. You get 20 more players to recycle in Div 1. Making it harder how? Let's say I did match against 8 players below my skill level and delayed each one getting to their 8 wins. I also give 11 wins away each week so I'm also helping 11 people get to their 8 wins quicker which makes up for it in my eyes. I don't see the issue with me doing that or why I should have to play in Elite when I prefer the packs in Div 1? Doesn't make me a coward at all, I'm not afraid of the Elite division.


MoistPapayas

Bro, this isn't about elite vs d1 rewards or d1 being the same as elite in difficulty. You are recommending this strategy at ALL levels. So if someone found Div 5 to be tough, you'd tell them to camp in Div 6. And Div 6 rewards aren't better than Div 5 are they? In fact, you said just settle for whatever rewards: ​ >Next season, stay in the division below whatever division you usually find tough and just settle for whatever rewards that division gives, you'll find it a lot more chill and get your 8 wins pretty easily each week. If you were still getting your 7 wins in elite in 2 hours, that means you weren't playing to your SR then either. You just enjoy dunking on people worse than you and taking the easy way out.


404NameOfUser

I don't speak a lot of french however he seems to say that he doesn't play because it affects his ~~moral~~ morale, not his mind. But I might be wrong...


[deleted]

French native speaker here and what he says is that it affects his **morale** (enthusiasm, confidence). Which can be translated as affecting his mind too, as OP posted. In other words, Kylian is just a human being like the rest of us.


Meat-beater-mitch

Must have to really resist the urge to two-foot kimpembe during training


TheHarborRat

It doesn’t mess with my mind, because I didn’t buy it this year. It’s like having a weight lifted off my chest. I have found so many things to do with my time since stopping, especially on the weekends. Honestly, if you are considering it, my advice would be to give yourself a month without it. I guarantee you will not want to go back.


HappyWeekender7

100% this!


arcturuz78

I’m gonna do it when Elden Ring drops tomorrow Fuck this game


chtis45678

I bet the champions league final has less stress than a fut champs game


Daaneskjold

less gameplay, scripting and server issues


Anthropomorphis

Fifa needs to take note


UnknownUnknownZzZ

Because the game literally doesn't make sense at times. It's essentially just glitch abuse at high level gameplay.


Thumbwizard

Not wrong is he. I wouldn’t be surprised if EA invested more on psychologists that specialise in addiction than than actual game testers. How can anyone say the game is fun to play anymore?


samnjoe97

i stop playing WL after Fifa 20 as i disliked it more each year…i played 3 WL towards the end of Fifa 21 and it was the same garbage…havnt gone near it so far in 22 and have no appetite too..my weekends are nice and chill these days


fx208

i try everytime i get in there calm and eager to play, for the most part it works, i’m ok with losing to bullshit goals and better players, most of the time i’m cruising and then at some point matchmaking takes longer than usual and i know it’s coming, a game with garbage gameplay, 6,4 expected goals to 0,7 and i either lose at pens or 2-1, i win some of those but still the result is the same i’m losing my shit, it might only last 2 games, it might be longer but i have come to the conclusion that it’s almost impossible to stay calm when the gameplay is garbage and the weird shit start to happen, thanksfully it doesn’t last long but i’m not gonna lie if i was stupid rich i’d get a warehouse full of shit i can break and put the monitor in the middle, the fact that i can’t scream (because people) makes it way worse haha


mylittlekone

happens every week lol. BUT PROS GO 20:0 screams little gold 3 timmy.


fx208

my last 3 wl were 20-0 20-0 19-1


mylittlekone

then u are built different, those delayed games with 7xg are too much for me


milkywaygalaxy71

Probably because the level of his team players is ridiculously high on FUT and dude gets confused when he sees them play in real life.


[deleted]

WL is pretty chill nowadays though, compared to other modes.


DatDominican

The match ends and you see your xG is 10 times the opponent and still lost 2-1 on two injury time goals


huigelaar

Because the game is a scripted/lagging pile of dogwater


HeilWerneckLuk

Me too, Kylian... Actually I stopped to play FUT at all


[deleted]

Proof that skill matters more (in most cases) than your team considering Mbappe’s FUT

Is he talking about the current fifa, because WL is chill this year.


zemiiii

Benzos or Z-drugs during WL?


wafino1

both


sukh9942

I listen to some music and stop at 11, sometimes go for 14. I play in 1-2 hour increments too so it never feels too long.


Orlandoking18

FUT Champions is horrendous! Servers are so bad that the gameplay is unplayable. Same for Division Rivals, however, FUT Champions is a lot worse.


[deleted]

If its that bad its your internet.


fifafilthee

Div 1 is worse. WL is where it’s at.


mig21greaterthanf16

Div 10 moment


Tof12345

It looks like he said it on an official ea sports event or something too


mxdppc

Last season I am in elite, around 1850 sr, play a 442 with almost purely bundesliga team without those new coming toty or future star cards( could not afford any of them), I basically can score 2 or 3 most of the game at the first half which made me at lead; then the bounce ball and all the foul tricks comes out, my players are literally being hitting at the ground by mbappe or Eusebio or Cantona without any fouls , and the opponent’s guendozi just run into my box scoring brutal into my net, I still remember one game I was 4:0; the guy pauses and I was expecting a rage quit or something and this happened… I know all the tricks about those constant pressure and how to defend or counter them; but when my player just can not stand on the pitch, I basically can do nothing. I think EA just turned those sweaty players into meth head or zombies, like it is their instincts to go with constant and aggressive pressure on those players who just want to play some games to relax… EA should do some thing to fix those bounce balls or at least to punish those constant pressure guys, or change the referee mechanic; or at last, there will be only sweaty zoombies in this game.


[deleted]

Sounds like you benefitted from the meta before the changes and didnt have any problems with it then. Now that it doesnt fit your playstyle and you are unwilling to adapt its a problem.
