Overall, the gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some users noting slight improvements over previous versions, while many criticize it for being slow, glitchy, and lacking impact. The graphics may be better, but the core gameplay experience remains frustratingly choppy and filled with issues, leading some to recommend waiting for a sale before purchasing. Additionally, the heavy emphasis on microtransactions detracts from the overall enjoyment.
- “I was very skeptical about getting this game, and I'm kind of in the middle with it. On one hand, the gameplay feels a bit better and the franchise mode is very interesting. On the other hand, it feels a bit half-baked with its focus on ultimate teams. That said, I would highly recommend waiting for this to go on sale.”
- “Gameplay improved moderately, but every startup you are met with multiple screens to buy additional things.”
- “The rest continues to either be the same or worse glitched out gameplay and effort you've come to tolerate.”
- “The gameplay is not only slow but lacks power, control, and impact.”
- “The animations continue to be glitched and this 'new' thing has no impact on the gameplay.”
