Fifa 13 Scripting - Post 8
I know I said I was taking a few days off before I carried on with this but someone posted a comment on one of the forums and I believe it sums this FIFA 13 Scripting issue perfectly.
"If you dont think scripting is in the game then you're entitled to your opinion. I think it does exist and these are the reasons....
In most of my offline ultimate team matches I play i end up scoring between 2 and 5 goals by the 80th minute depending on the difficulty. I can almost always guarantee that the computer will score a consolation goal in the last 5 - 10 minutes of the match. I dont suddenly become complacent or worse at the game, the scripting raises the cpu stats/intensity/attack rate by an amount and probably reduces my players abilities. If you cant notice this then u arent playing the same game. I dont care what u say about EA trying to make it realistic etc and players getting complacent if they're winning in the final stages of a match, that shouldnt come into the game because it is a game and WE control the players. I dont want my soldier on COD missing his targets cos hes tired, or pissed off, or hes demoralized that soldiers get shit wages or something I want to control the game!
On ultimate team when playing online I slowly began to build a better team, but once my team reached level 85 they began playing like a piece of shit, im talking 30% posession a game. AND IM NOT PLAYING ANY DIFFERENTLY THAN I USUALLY DO! I agree that possibly the team couldve began lacking some balance in some way but not that much since the players I bought, in theory should have improved my team. And guess what, I sold that team and bought an average team with scott parker, hernandez and toite etc then put some bronze players on the bench to make it level 75. These guys play like their lives depend on it! I won the division 1 trophy 4 times and actually named my team "handicap team." Next I thought, ok I'll splash out on gareth bale, give me a bit of pace on the left midfield and Im a big fan of his in real life. Big surprise, my WHOLE team start playing like they're blind and obese so I sold him and my team went back to playing great again.
My point is EA have this system to make money, they are well known to be the greediest game publisher ever to exist. If you have a good team they will limit its ability in order for you to get annoyed and think u need to improve and maybe buy more packs, or even your first pack, they dont give a shit aslong as you buy packs. If you have a crap team then what will happen is the stats will get boosted until your team reaches a good level then they even it out just to piss you off and make u think "maybe my team needs strengthening" and go buy a pack or two. This is due to the fact you got so pissed off that you gave away that 3 - 0 lead because your players suddenly started moving really slowly and passing to the opposition and their goalkeeper has better reactions that a cat on speed. Also they want crap players to keep playing, not to give up after they lose 15 games on the trott which would happen if the handicapping wasnt in the game. Fifa can be the most infuriating game, not because Im crap at it, which im not, im average, infact i dont actually know how good I am at it because it all depends on whether my players are half asleep or not which i have no control over. I know on seasons I usually win, probably because of the lack of handicap (no packs in that game mode!) Its so obvious and has really put me off the buying another fifa game. Also they ban anyone who mentions handicapping/scripting on their forums, and a disgruntled employee of EA posted a screen shot of players intensity in a match depending on the score which atleast proves momentum exists anyway."
Do you agree?
