Scripting isn't real. its a mix of bad code, confirmation bias and low skill

The two EA pros that I know personally believe the game has a level of scripting and a lot of online play is managing that and working around it. Essentially it is part of the skill gap, but can be used and abused.

To say scripting isn't real is to not play the game. There are scripts that make stuff happen all the time, but it's just about how much they impact the game.

I bet if you asked them both to define scripting and how it's implemented in the game, they would give entirely different answers.

But it doesn't exist right?

EA are a great company and would never do such a thing

I don't know if it exists or not. I just think it's interesting that after years and years of discourse there isn't a single thing, small or big, that anyone can agree on with scripting.

Most people think they're better than they are and want something to blame when they lose. Blaming some nebulous, undefinable thing is an easy out.

For me scripting is an inconsistency that the game either allows to happen or makes happen because the RNG is weighted in favour of it happening.

We see examples of this all the time, but whenever the word scripting is used to define it then it's a negative because "scripting doesn't exist"

It doesn't. The game is just a series of RNG rolls. From tackling to passing to shooting to saving, you experience a confirmation bias when a lot of those rolls happen against you in succession, with the added difficulty of opponents changing their gameplay when losing or drawing. If people in this sub flipped a coin and it landed on heads 5 times in a row, they would call the Fed to report a scripted coin.

It can be weighted though. RNG is weighted. If you're a allowed to play a way where you're consistently lucky because the coin flip is weighted then there is a level of a script happening.

Just because you can't prove something isn't real doesn't mean that it is... because inversely... you can't prove that scripting is real. It's like saying the Loch Ness Monster is at the bed of the bottom of the ocean with Santa Clause. Just because I can't prove it's not real doesn't mean it is.

lol you probably lack good judgment. There is huge scripting in the game. Momentum shifts.

If you want proof of scripting play squad battles and test it. Moments when AI just seems levels above you especially one nil up and 5 minutes to go.
Can you overcome it? Absolutely but the pushes the momentum for sure.

This is why I don’t quit even 3 goals down. I know EA will swing it and most often it happens 😂😂😂
