GK disrespect needs to change

One of the many unrealistic things in this game is the Goalkeeper. Every other position acts retarded compared to their real life counterparts, but the goalkeepers have been screwed over especially. I played amateur GK, and it's kinda irritating knowing that many new football fans who have 0 ball knowledge learn things from this game and they think goalkeepers, even legendary ones, are all shit. That's one of the many wrong things this game teaches to new football fans. And this isn't really the game's fault. But having GKs so bad definitely is.

GKs in this game can be hyped as much as possible but in reality they all are incredibly overrated and always crumble. Sure, there are matches when your GK makes like 8-10 saves, and that makes you think "Wow, this GK is so good!" But I'm starting to feel that's just the script being kind to the keepers for once. In most matches, keepers suck. There is little to no difference between 90 ovr keepers and 115+ ovr keepers. One finesse shot from the side and it is over (mostly). Even then, there is no consistent keeper in this game. I know some of you might say "You just have a trash keeper" or "You haven't used Vanja/Courtois/VDS etc" or "You probably play in the worst rank" Let me tell you, I have scored numerous goals against top keepers. In fact, my Xavi once scored a goal so insane against anniversary Vanja, that you wouldn't believe it. Vanja was right next to the ball, on the right pole of the post. I just pressed shoot hoping for it to deflect and give me a corner but Vanja went down and Xavi hit it top left corner. Anyways, my current GK is 116 ragnarok Cêch maxed out. He used to be good but nowadays feels just like other keepers. Inconsistent as always. I feel like that's what EA does, make a new hyped up keeper good for a month, then immediately make them like other keepers.

I play in the FC Champion division, and I've faced all sorts of top keepers but they all are same. They charge? Just finesse. Guaranteed goal. It almost feels embarrassing to score goals like that against Buffon, Yashin, Neuer, VDS because you know that in real life, they would've easily saved those predictable finesse shots since everyone in FC spams them.

Don't get me wrong, GKing is not easy. I've done it before. I'm not extremely tall either yet I'll say I'm more consistent than FC GKs.

A good example for FC to learn from is PLS. It's a good time killer football game, but what I love about it is that the GKs are actually mentally present. You know how you get anxious everytime your opponent breaks through your defence and has a 1v1 against your GK? In PLS, generally your keeper will save it no matter the OVR difference. There is no multiplayer in PLS, so there is no observation of GKs against different shot types but even AI keepers are really good even on beginners difficulty. The only problem about PLS gameplay is that the passing and movement feels slow. Also, the shooting of the players is mostly very bad compared to FC players, and only 95+ ovr players can attempt long shots properly (97 is max ovr) Even then keepers save the long shots. The ball physics are also kinda janky, but I wouldn't expect much from an offline football game made by a team MUCH smaller than EA. Overall, that game at least recognizes it's keepers as physical objects. Unlike in FC.

Remember they said that in FC 26 keepers will actually be harder to score against? I don't see it. At least not in the mobile version. I wouldn't trust FC GKs with anything. Thanks for reading, if you made it this far lol.
