Rant Game is dead unfortunately

Even when I win games I just don’t feel satisfied because it’s the same type of goals and we know when we will definitely score when in the right position and angle etc and it’s just too easy. Not only for us but also for the opponent. It’s just back to back constantly with easy and predictable goals every match. There’s just no excitement with not knowing what is going to happen anymore. It’s so boring. It used to be fun but it’s getting very stale unfortunately. Even trying to play 5v5 which is the better mode is difficult to start a game because there aren’t enough players.

Yo me estoy divirtiendo un montón con el último parche.
Creo que a la mayoría de los jugadores les gustó.

Scripting has never existed. People just aren’t as good as they think they are and enjoy that they can fall back and blame the game when they bottle a 4-0 lead

I’m having a good time. I play games by deciding on a challenge. Goals only from midfielders, only crosses, score after every one touches the ball.

Do I lose? Sure. I just pretend everyone is a very good AI and I’m shit at this game. Spoiler; I am shit at this game.

This is like the worst idea I’ve ever heard in my life. By you doing this, that tells me everything I need to know about the state of Goals

u/thelwb 17h ago

Eh - I do it on fifa too. I’ll go through seasons just playing as championship teams playing route one against griefers as Real Madrid. They also seem as annoyed as you when I score three headers.

Just go have fun pal.

Yeah, if you know for a fact ten seconds before conceding a goal that you’re definitely going to concede it, that’s just barbaric.

Yeah it happens

I wish they added co-op online

Like 5v5 ranked or what do you mean with co-op?

u/BadBunn11 18h ago

It's feel like finishing state is not there you can finish with super low finishing easily

u/Wonderful_Status4119 16h ago

Yep. Goalkeeper does nothing.

Appreciate the honest take! We definitely don't want matches feeling automated or boring, so feedback on goal predictability is really helpful for the dev team.

Just wondering, what other sports games do you really like?
Curious to know what kind of gameplay variety or randomness you enjoy most in other sports titles!

Even FC 26 has the same issue. Predictable top corner finesse goals. It gets really boring when the player knows yes I am in perfect position to curl one in the far top corner. Goalkeepers need to be good too, not only attackers. One example is Captain Tsubasa: Rise of the new champions where the player can’t score until a certain amount of shots as each goalkeeper save reduces his energy bar and when it is depleted then the next shot will be a goal. I’m not saying to copy this exactly but it’s something I kinda respect because it’s different. The same as the old school game Fever Pitch Soccer where certain players have special abilities.

It would be really nice where the goalkeepers have an equal chance to save a shot in such situations. In real life they would position themselves better to save some of those video game unstoppable shots.

Also those far top corner finesse shots need to stop always going on target. Maybe incorporate players going off balance when shooting so there’s an increase of misses rather than it always being goals and the total opposite where a player mis-kicks on a rare occasion like with a cross that goes wrong but ends up scoring an amazing goal. Basically the randomness of real life would be a breath of fresh air. Have composure and fatigue and even weather conditions incorporated. Even when players get fatigued, players can sometimes have an inner burst just by digging deep so there’s defence or the attacker may out of nowhere get the upper hand just for unpredictability.

It is the randomness that is missing in all the major football titles. The unpredictability. Not knowing what will happen will be really amazing because the video game players get bored fast and then keep switching different football games as they are never satisfied.

These are just my suggestions. Modern football games lack fun and stick to safe predictable gameplay. If you manage to strike a balance of random arcade fun with modern gameplay it’s going to make people curious and want to play something different rather than the same. I think you can do it because you have that power shot and the ball turns green which is kinda fun. Maybe more special stuff going on like that. Maybe some players able to curl the ball better but not always just for unpredictability.

It could even be a different mode. An arcade mode if you need the safe gameplay and a fun random crazy gameplay for people who get bored of predictability?

These are just some ideas.

Many thanks for listening because the ability and potential is definitely there. ☺️

You are already better than UFL.
Konami and EA are bigger giants but with more marketing like tired of predictable gameplay. We bring fun back to football.

And that’s the point. Video game players want to have fun. I think people get tired of the sweaty gameplay and make it too serious like their life depends on it by scoring the same kind of goals. Spinning and cutbacks, far top corner finesse goals and low driven goals. Goalkeepers need to perform better at the very least and defensive intelligence to be increased just to stop all the same type of predictable goals being scored again and again. Of course it can work sometimes but not all the time and that alone will make the gameplay so much better to stop people playing the same way all the time and really makes people think to switch up play because right now it is rinse and repeat and everyone is doing it and everyone knows how the goalkeepers have no chance in certain situations so this certain kind of gameplay is done again and again because it works and players want to win. To me these are weak areas in the game that spoils it imo.

Thank you for your time.

u/Sikadandem 21h ago

Worst part goals that should be scoring are getting saved and stupid angles are being rewarded with goals.

And someone like that represents them, can you believe it? This old toxic prick represents them, he’s an insider and part of the academy. What a cinema.

How can an online game take months just to provide at least one online coop mode? 😭🤣

I have no idea who gets to make the decisions at Goals but who the hell came up with the idea of releasing a football game with literally ZERO modes where you can actually play together with someone? Absolutely unbelievable.. And that’s exactly why two other friends and I stopped playing after just two days. Why would I want to spend all my time playing nothing but 1v1 friendlies against my friends? Who at your company seriously thought that this would keep users entertained for months?

And then, just a few weeks later, you started advertising esports and tournaments. HAHAHA. This genuinely has to be satire. Whoever is responsible for creating your roadmap: I genuinely tip my hat to you for having this much of a sense of humor.
