Scripting more toxic than ever this year?

[Aviator87AC]

Now before we go down the "git gud" path, let me start by saying I'm having a lot of fun with FIFA this year. It's one of the most beautiful sports sims today. That being said, I've also seen some of the most eye-bleeding AI-scripty comebacks ever.

Last night I played the same career mode game 5 times in a row against a rather lackluster team. Each game ended up with my side losing by 2 or 3 goals. No matter what I did I was never going to win that match, despite adjusting CTTs and formation. Other matches feel like I couldn't lose if I tried, no matter how bad I play.

I think tonight takes the prize, when my own player lined up a brilliant OG header to tie the match and draw level in the 90th minute. Seriously, you couldn't make this sh*t up.

Call it scripting or momentum, whichever you prefer, but has anyone else noticed it extremely obvious in '19?

Re: Scripting more toxic than ever this year?

Yes there is a lot of forced momentum or tilting, I had it happen the other day in squad battles with my team being 83 ovr 100 chem vs a 77 ovr 59 chem team that smashed me 3-0, had my players pass like crap missing everytime and AI teammates actually run AWAY from loose balls on purpose. Also happened in rivals, we were tied 1-1 and I somehow was gifted the ball in the 90th minute and ruined the match for the other guy while his players ghosted through me before I kicked the ball in the net, when he could've easily taken the ball away at least 5 times during my possession in the final minute.

Re: Scripting more toxic than ever this year?

It s not scripting...the CPU changes what it does strategically in reaction to the game situation. If you don't change your tactics then you'll be at a disadvantage. You see, "code" is not scripting.



You do understand that you're playing a computer right?


Here's some help with understanding how strategy works in the game:

You haven't even played the game have you. Otherwise you would have noticed that this year they were so lazy that the cpu will never change from their balanced gameplan. You can check, although it's blindingly obvious with teams that are setup with constant pressure or with teams that will drop back and let you keep the ball for 90 minutes even if they're losing.

Anyway I don't believe there is a "you're gonna lose no matter what" type of scripting, but some of the goals possible are pure bs. For example first touch volleys from impossible angles, silly bicycle kicks, etc. It can happen anytime, they tried too hard to make the game "hard" so i can see how it can appear like scripting when it's just "ridiculous football 2018".

But that's me giving them the benefit of the doubt on this one. If at some point in the future it turns out there is "scripting" in this game I will not be shocked at all.

Re: Scripting more toxic than ever this year?

This has been discussed year after year with both FIFA and NHL.

FIFA has a system referred to in the game files as “dynamic difficulty” that will give the CPU advantages depending upon certain scenarios. Like if you score within the first 20 minutes, the CPU gets a 25% advantage in terms of difficulty. Or if you score two goals in the first half the CPU gets a 50% bump.

It is what it is, but to claim there is no “scripting” or “ice tilt” or “dynamic difficulty” is just factually incorrect.

Re: Scripting more toxic than ever this year?

The PC guys have torn apart the code and confirmed it as well.

This has nothing to do with the CPU adjusting tactics, it's hard coded advantage that plays out depending upon game score and previous team performance.

Re: Scripting more toxic than ever this year?

Yeah, that's nothing new though. And it's also a thing in older games yet you notice it less. And if the game (or if we, manually) change the difficulty, it does not necessarily mean "no way to win" scripting.

The real issue, for me at least, is how they code difficulty and AI in general. This year on the highest difficulty the theme seems to be flawless ping pong passing sequences and clinical, spectacular finishing. That's what makes it feel worse. Yes it's just a game, but that's one reason why I think a sports game should be more grounded in reality and not go full rocket league fantasy.

Seeing a bicycle kick makes me cringe in the first place but losing thanks to one in the final minute, it's no wonder people feel like the game is out to get them. There is really no need for so many shots hitting the post and other bs, it seems they can't quite get what makes sports fun, or they are designing the game with 10 year olds in mind. That's what ruins it for me. Conceding a scrappy own goal? Not so much. It's more believable.

Whether cpu momentum/scripting exists or not, I don't think the cpu opponent is ever impossible to beat. Even with custom sliders, there are user advantages and exploits.

Momentum/scripting has always been seen as negative and used to criticize EA, but maybe there's a good side to it. Is momentum completely unrealistic though? IRL, teams and players play better when momentum is on their side. Maybe, we can justify that momentum in fifa somewhat mimics the psychological element of football?

I agree with this and I understand why it's in the game. So that you don't win/lose all games (it works in your favour too) in any given level, and frankly that's what we want from a game as well. It's not a deterministic system but it does change the odds. Which is why I feel the problem is with the type of football played by the AI. When goals feel over the top and that you couldn't possibly prevent them, people are gonna be left frustrated. Unfortunately the focus is on the online part of the game so we're not seeing smarter AI.

Their attacking ability always seemed a bit like cheating on legendary. When it was done in a more realistic way (i think in fifa17?) some complained about the cpu not scoring and that the game was too easy. People say that about 19 too! So what should EA do? I'd say make a properly balanced game, but this is the one thing they avoid like the plague, so go figure. The current mindset in FUT is that the game should be a passing - shooting - scoring contest (which is why in turn I avoid online like the plague) and this carries over to the offline game to a large extent. It is the same AI in all modes after all.

[TripleJay_X]

Re: Scripting more toxic than ever this year?

The Scripting/Momentum isn't entirely "wrong" from a psycholiogical aspect in football. But EA simply did it the easiest way! There is no visual information or indicator that something is wrong with your team or why the other team, though it's OVR-Rating is way lower than yours, is so strong in this particular game against you (and loose most other games vs CPU).


Besides that, yeah, they get very strong in their passing and shooting abilities. Normally, you can leave some players open and double other players because you know their shooting-abilites are poor. But doing it on the highest difficulities, the Momentum is on their side and those mediocre-players even make MESSI look Mediocre ... and shoot their first goal against you ... really?


Sometimes i also think, some players need some 'warmup-games' after you purchased them...f.e. i purchased a 86OVR and the first games he played like sh*t and now 10-20 matches later, he is one of the best wingers in the league.

I couldn't agree more. I actually find little bursts of "momentum" fun and challenging. What I have a problem with is the never-ending cascade of volleys from 25 yards out or laser headers from impossible angles in the 90th minute.
