FIFA 16: 10 Common Complaints (That Are Total Bullsh*t)

2. "Teams Are Imbalanced"

This is a tricky one to get over, because, from a gameplay perspective, the asymmetrical nature of having a five star team face off against a three star squad provides the perfect ammo for the complainers who make excuses for every one of their defeats. But in reality, it just wouldn't make sense to have every team start on an equal footing; if you went to see Sheffield Wednesday play against Real Madrid, would you expect an equal competition? While there are some teams that are better than others in FIFA, there isn't one that you can automatically dominate with. Hell, even the Classic XI, a bonus squad which features historical legendary players, can get absolutely annihilated by a player who knows what they're doing. Overall, it's just easier for people to blame a built-in imbalance for their failures rather than admitting they're actually a bit naff at the game.
