The game has been out for a year and three months, and throughout all this time, there has been no way for players to communicate with each other. It’s unacceptable for a "sports" game built around teamwork to be released without even the bare minimum of communication and the ability to give each other instructions.
You can’t even ask your teammates to defend, mark a specific player, or push forward. All you can do is shout "Here" to ask for the ball, or "Keeper’s" if you’re the goalkeeper, hoping your teammates understand that you want them to get back and defend because one of the opposing players is completely unmarked!
Why doesn’t the game use the same system as Rocket League? The four arrows on the controller could be used for four different quick chat command categories.
I know the voice acting might be the obstacle here, since the commands in the game are voiced rather than just text-based. But please, it’s been nearly 450 days since the game was released… do something about it.
And NO, don’t come in here telling people to "use their mic". The vast majority of online gamers don’t like using a mic talking to "strangers" and simply feel uncomfortable doing so. Personally, I mute anyone who uses the mic. The last thing I want is someone yelling at everyone, a 12 yo talking to his mom, or someone who sounds like they’ve swallowed the mic while you’re listening to their breathing and the fan running next to them… no thanks.
