When I say "arcade" I mean that, for example, FIFA only allows you to score from certain hotspots on the pitch. That the finesse shot is overpowered as fuck. That anybody who's good with the skill stick can bring defenses down regardless of the player they're using. That they rubberband the AI on defense, because God knows that the defenders have no AI, so they need to warp the defender next to the player. That attacking players also have no AI and get caught offside more often than they should.
In FIFA, I learned that most CBs or WBs/FBs are as fast as Ronaldo.
Another good example of how the game is arcade is that you are not able to play Barcelona's game even with Barcelona. The AI isn't ready to handle that amount of runs and one-twos, it's broken. Have any of you ever seen a realistic goal in FIFA? I know I haven't.
I get why people say it's fun, it kinda is. Especially with friends or with people online who don't cheese, but it's also arcade and they claim it's sim.
