FIFA Fans Question Game Realism: Is Superhero Physics Here to Stay?
MBanni’s post clearly shows that FIFA players are frustrated with the current game design, comparing it to playing a fantasy role-playing game instead of a sports simulation. The actions of the players in the game seem unrealistic compared to what we usually expect from a sports game. For example, imagine a 6’5″ center-back performing an elegant bicycle kick from a corner, while a 5’1″ player sprints past at unusually high speeds. This highlights the main problem: it’s hard for us to believe what we see in the game. Players often feel overwhelmed by superhuman abilities, leading some to wonder if the game will ever return to realism again. Instead of just a simple game, FIFA now feels more like a comic book with its heroes and villains wearing capes.
