Bigots . Bigots . Twats . Bigots . This is so fucking ridiculous , its like they ' re doing it just to make themselves look idiotic . Nothings gonna change anyway <| sep |> I don ' t see what so many factors has to do with increasingdecreasing the attributes of players . That ' s all handicap is . Positioning is reduced , aggressiveness reduced , balance and agility etc . reduced , where as your opponent will get increases in all these fields . Momentum in real life is a real thing . If a team is down 20 at the half , they ' ll come back with a new mentality and a real desire to win , which often see ' s them bring the game back . The other team will want to hold onto that lead , so will often hang back , which leads to them conceding goals to a team that ' s now playing really aggressive . This is standard football any sport really . The issue I have is that EA seems to artificially inject this momentum into the game . Rather than allowing the player themselves to feel that desire to win and to try harder , maybe go attacking and high pressure , and the player winning 20 to want to hold onto the lead and not concede , EA boosts the attributes of players on the team that are losing , so that they have a chance to bring it back . It ' s happened to me countless times . I ' ve been 20 down , don ' t try harder at all , but I can just see all my players running around faster , being in the right position , and getting the ball back straight away by pressuring hard and being aggressive , just after I was being dominated in the first half . I also haven ' t touched mentality or anything like that .
