I reckon an understated "missing" part of the game is just the lack of visual/sensory flare. You kick a goal and the game just kinda...resets. The crowd noises aren't immersive, there aren't any replays or anything, and your players just start running back to the middle even before the ball goes through the goals. This really contributes to the general lack of reward/excitement I feel playing the game. Compare that to something like a 2K/FIFA, or even something more arcadey like Rocket League/Jam, where every score feels like a big deal in a way that is super rewarding.

As much as it's still frustrating and a long, long way from perfect, the gameplay is at a place now where I can happily chuck a game on here and there and have a fine time. There's just nothing to keep me coming back, or want to play another, let alone slog through a 24 round season or play 10+ minute quarters to get anywhere in ProTeam.

Pretty much sums it up perfectly. I just fired up Pro Team after 2 months and even though Legends are a good inclusion, it still isnt enough to keep me entertained & I think the gameplay needs a lot of tweaking still.

I can have a bug free match then the next match I'll get hit with invisible walls, stuck in mud (worst is when that happens 4-5 fresh possessions in a row!!) or score glitches.
 
This could very well happen on Saturday

(Not the usual ending to the type of video I normally upload lol)


The ending was worth it. Standard gameplay
 
Have an admission to make, I've been playing Pro Team lately and I kinda like it. Didn't have to wait to play online, had zero lag and it was clear why I was getting destroyed. It felt like like both stats and skills mattered and the umpiring was unoffensive. Both of us made pressure based errors at times which added a lot to the experience.

This isn't a rave, I'm saying in context based on what we've had before it's pretty good. Still a ton of work needed for hardball gets and for QTE contested marking to be the single most important game event is depressing.

Question, apologies if it has been well discussed. Does anyone know when your team resets? I assume they have to do it every so often...or do they? I can see a small HC player group in future where everyone is stacked with 90+ ratings with barely a POD in sight. Maybe not the end of the world but if I'm going to build a crazy list it would be nice to know I'm going to keep it for a while.
