World Class is way too difficult
I started playing FC26 Career Mode when PlayStation handed FC26 out as one of the monthly games for PS+, and I think I'm going to stop playing now.
I play with Liverpool and I played the pre-season tournament, Community Shield and the first game of the Premier League season in professional difficulty. After winning every game easily (I even beated Leipzig 14-1 at one point), I decided to switch up to World Class for the game to feel more realistic.
But now after 10-12 games, I sit 17th in the Premier League and 17th in the Champions League. I advanced 2 rounds in the Carabao Cup, first against Newcastle, then against Nottingham Forest by drawing the game 2-2 and winning in the penalties.
I couldn't win any game the last 7 or 8 tries. I couldn't even score the last 3 games.
I'm at complete shock as to why they didn't make a level in between professional and world class. Professional isn't fun because I win so easily all the time and world class isn't fun because I can't seem to win at all.
I can maybe understand losing 2-1 to Arsenal or drawing 1-1 with Inter but I lose my sanity when I see Robert Sanchez out of all goalkeepers decide to make more than 10 saves while Chelsea scores in each of their 4 attempts to win the game 4-1.
I lose my sanity when a PSV striker runs faster than fricking Van de Ven. Van de fucking Ven bro. It really doesn't matter if I play Van Dijk / Van de Ven or Van Dijk / Konate either because the same guys apparently are able to bully Van Dijk and Konate physically to create 1v1 chances against Alisson.
I was really into playing Career Mode and I was planning for the future like selling Konate for either Guehi or Bastoni, improving Ngumoha and Leoni, maybe getting someone like Lukeba for when Van Dijk gets too old...
But why do I even try at this point? I don't feel it in me to try to fight back against Man City when they're up by 3-0 at half time. I know I'm not winning the game. And losing isn't acceptable either because I didn't have a chance from the get go.
I can't dribble past anyone. Not with Salah, not with Barcola, not with Ngumoha or anyone else. I can't play through the midfield because they always steal the ball from me.
Szobozslai decides to send the ball 5 meters away while sprinting, Robinson decides to be slower than even Van Dijk & Konate when he's supposed to intercept a pass, Alisson decides to concede a Doku goal from such a tight angle that I don't even think Doku can score a goal like that in real life against Alisson while Van Dijk & Guimares are defending him even if he tries 100 times each day for the next 5 years.
I'm so done. I finished Spider-Man 2 a few days back and started playing Detroit: Become Human a day or so later. I was the most peaceful human being on the planet. This game really made me stressful. And the worst part about it is that it's addictive as fuck too.
I would continue playing Fifa and combine it with Detroit (and then whichever story game I decide to play) for a while until I get bored. I really had at least 3-4 seasons in me.
But I quit. Otherwise I will have a heart attack or something out of stress.
