If you like football I guess that it is the best option available now. So it is what it is

Morally the OP is bang on, even forgetting that the trash F2P clothing PES wears today in a GaaS is world's better in actual ability to express yourself in football terms, and has done since International Superstar Soccer 98 on PS1, FC 24 only has its current market share from all the parents and grand parents that bought the game for little Johnny for birthday and christmas because it had the official name of football attached, and even asking people responsible for the origins of Ultiamte team, before they worked for EA and made other named football games advocated for the importance of the Fifa license.
So in effect, if you, not you, football gamers, aren't getting the real name, now then they should gravitate to the game with the best gameplay and should expect EA to take a F2P, or massive haircut on the price of the inferior FC 24.
I hate what konami have done to PES with eFootball surrounded in MTX, but remapping the controls and just remembering to use remapped R2 skill button (when defending) to face up to/watch the ball before tackling with cross or square, and using remapped L2, to shield once in a while when receiving the ball to control it, or beginning one-twos with it will have you feeling the old PES engine +75%. Doing a few AI games at beginner and banging in 5-15 goals before playing at a higher level really does improve one's opinion of the F2P GaaS IMO.

What means "neé"?
Cyberpunkd

Meaning it's FIFA in everything but name. Mostly it's used to refer to a person that was known under a different surname (mostly of a husband) with a surname he/she was born with e.g. Marie Curie (neé Sklodowska, since that was her surname before she got married).

It comes from the French "né" (born) ? I'm French and I was surprised to see it written "neé".

Because your team has been playing great football in RL for at least a decade I know you know what good expressive football looks like, so forgetting I've been a United fan for decades and saying this in a neutral, love football comment, I'm disappointed you haven't been enjoying Konami's game forever- before eFootball - like the rest of the football gamer aficionados that looked to gameplay beyond licensing.I’m enjoying the closed beta

FIFA World was rejected by the Western audience. FIFA Online (now rebranded) is big in Asia.
But the yearly game is big glamorous fun. I have the Premier League match on TV and play some squad battles on PC and I'm happy. I don't need an autistic football simulation. I played FIFA 23 for 160 hours so it's more than worth it for me.

Got the EA PLAY version on PC and the trial on PS5 it utter utter shit.
They’ve done something to the defending to make it easier but that now means if you were good at defending when it was more manual it’s just automated even more for you now but you have to place your defenders in perfect alignment with the attacker and where they have boosted speed and twitchiness of attackers it’s almost impossible to to defend.
Every game I’ve played is like 4-3 , 5-2 or something stupid.
Goalkeepers are utter shite too they keep parrying and deflecting things back into play which makes the games even more ridiculous as your keeper is all over the place.
The streamers and sweaty boys are already moaning it’s too slow so any unique qualities it had over the last game will be patched out until
It’s a the spinny press spam kick n rush Mbappe fest is back.
To the lad who’s playing as City all the time , hang your head in shame. 115 charges enough said.

I’ve put thousands of hours in to WE/PES/eFootball. My issue with Konami is the never ending balancing with each new season that can make the gameplay radically worse or better as they strive to make cross play with mobile work. I can no longer take playing a great game for 3 months only to find it a complete mess for the next 3.

I don't even care for license.. just bring back the old PES games FFS, let the mod community do it's magic or whatever
But I can not touch any more FIFA or FC whatever.. it's just pure trash
It's just so sad to come to this point after 15 years of playing mostly PES sometimes FIFA, when I have nothing except going back to last proper PES to play some Master League...

I would still put that outcome for free far ahead of FC 24 gameplay, even with those balance gremlins in my head killing me while I waited for my next definitieve local vs matchup, but that makes a lot more sense and I get it. You have to get your footy gaming fix somewhere, and if Konami has lost you, there's no other real option.

The Turkish guy that installed my fiber connection this week couldn't stop talking about the new "FIFA" game. He saw my 8bitdo controller and asked what games I played on my XBOX which I don't have.
This game will sell like hotcakes.

I only bought one FIFA Game in my entire life. Well my day did. FIFA 96 on PS one.

Lol the same ppl that buy that game year after year. Also will put extra 100 or two in the ultimate team thing. But they also pretty play that game all year long none stop. So in some ways. They get their money worth for sure. Pretty much the same kinda ppl that buy nba and madden and cod every year.

To be honest I downloaded eFootball on my laptop when 24 launched, and I still think the gameplay is better than FIFA.
That being said I’m fed up of it taking up most of my gaming time. The idea of getting FIFA was that I could just have a game or 2 once in a blue moon and not give a toss if I win, lose or draw. It’s a much more casual game compared to PES.

That's the thing that I don't get.
I understand people buying “The same game” over and over again with minor tweaks, accurate roster updates etc. Whatever. If that's the game you enjoy playing, go for it. But ultimate team? You actually spend a significant amount of money collecting players that you can't carry over to the next installment?
Like...really? why would you dump money into that?

I hate it when online gaming gets it hooks in you like that, with all the process of playing against a real person locally, but without any way to feel the game was fair and balanced, and without anyway to talk, or smack talk through the frustration with a friend, and give them the: "just one more game?", so you finish at a point you feel you held your own when the game was fair and balanced.
Sounds like even playing FC 24 might just reach the same point, and you probably need to step away for a few months. I had to do that with Splatoon 2 a few years back, and still not sure I can go back to that type of game, yet.

No one on GAF plays sports games anyways
Outside of GAF they are the most popular yearly franchises on Earth alongside Call of Duty which GAF also doesn't play

I don’t like EA and I don’t like EAFC, formerly known as FIFA, however I applaud EA for not paying a ridiculous 1 billion dollars a year just so they’re allowed to write FIFA in the box. The FIFA organization should be ashamed of itself for even daring to ask this amount.
Seriously, all that money literally for just 4 letters lol. Guess EAFC will have to change from FIFA World Cup to Football World Cup or something like that, but that’s a small price to pay vs this extreme greed. Wonder if FIFA would feel a billion dollars less income in their budget.

Dude trust me. That I don’t get for sure. The madden, fifa and nba. It’s like, you have to reset and start all back over again. After you drop 100 bucks or more. Fucking crazy. If some how it carry over. I would understand. But it doesn’t at all

The gambling aspect is a different thing... I never put money in it but I understand why people do it.

Alternatively the entitlement is at EA's end. 30years of competitive footy game development in the UK ended in a rubbish game with the license competing against an evolutionary footy game struggling to compete because of the license.
This my follow Gaffers is what entitlement looks like.
Why would you get discount just because they lost the FIFA license?
Why should all those other studios have gone to the wall with their game for failing to get a measly 30K sales, to break even, because they didn't have the license, but now that EA don't have the license, their product should be unaffected?
Their game is competing against a far superior F2P game, so a haircut for the loss of the license would just be a minimum readjustment IMO.

Football in the UK is described as "the beautiful game", the second one is a pun, and possibly the opinion of the person posting the thread, and the game is hugely popular by the casual masses. But the crux of the issue is that FIFA and now FC have never been the best rendition of the beautiful game, and just the one with the most authentic licensing.
The real test for losing the license will be in a few years when another game uses the Fifa license and starts picking up massive casual sales when the initial rebranding push has wanned.
