this is 100% correct and people need to get in where they fit in. It would actually be smart if EA/2k would set up areas where you can play the sort of game you are looking for and so these two groups don't have to touch each other. I have zero interest in playing like that so I stick to offline in sports games and with friends.People need to realize....this is not FOOTBALL. It's a game EMULATING football. Don't use football strategy...use MADDEN strategy.
It's the same in all sports games. If I played FIFA like actual soccer, I'd be possessing the ball and refreshing my passing phases for 50%-80% of the game. But nah, it's FIFA...so I'm gonna counter like crazy Maradona spin and finesse shot from 25+ yards out.
