FIFA 20 and ds aged 11

[Ceci03]

So ds got fifa 20 from his dad. He has played fifa 19 for a year since he got the ps4 fir Xmas last year. He’s been playing fifa 20 for a couple of hours yesterday and for about half an hour this morning but he is so upset all the time, crying that he can’t do it, that he’s crap, that he can’t score, he’s just stormed off upstairs again now. I dunno how to help him. It was his most wanted present. He couldn’t wait to start playing it, but it’s turned into a nightmare. He got 20puonds to spend on “points”but he’s lost all the players or things he bought yesterday. He’s sobbing his heart out upstairs now. Am taking it out of the mschine now, it’s just not fun, but I know lots of boys his age play it, seemingly with no problems... is there some way to help him. Sorry am pretty in tech and no experience of ps 4 or anything like thst

Check what difficulty setting it’s on, you can bring it down to easier.

We had ours set on pro. We've adjusted it and the DC can manage it now.

Where do you change it, is it in settings, he keeps telling me it can’t be changed...

So settings, game settings, then choose the level.

Until you get a good team on ultimate, it is hard. It is a lot harder to score .And defence is better. Just keep working at it. Totally different from 19.
Go on YouTube and watch videos

Ok I told him that but he said one is too easy and one is too hard. Apparently it’s the online games where he’s being beaten all the time, do your dcs play online

Is he playing against the computer or online? Just people online are really good (spend a lot of time playing) also agree with pp's check difficulty setting. I don't know that specific game but do pkat video games. It also could be different from previos years. Sometimes a lot can change sometimes not much. Have a Google to see if people who are familiar are saying it's vastly different.

My dp (fully grown adult) says he loses against online players all the time. As they tend to play many hours a day and be really good. He suggested sering if his real life friends have it and he can play against them. As online he could be playing against an adult rather than another 11 year old.

Oh if he's playing against other people then he's really at the mercy of how good others are. Some people spend a lot of time on these games and are very good, so it won't be an equal match. He'll be better off playing against the computer so he gets some practice in first really. There are about six difficulties so I'm sure there's one that will be good for him.

Some good advice here. Keep it in easy mode and don’t play online experts - he should feel better if he knows they’re nearly professional hopefully

Ds wasn’t allowed to play online until he was much older. Some of them make a “virtual” career out of it and are really good.

Tell him to play squad battle, not rivals. Some people spend many hours a day and a small fortune building teams. Youngsters will get beaten easily.
So squad battle on a semi pro setting , will get him coins and he can start to build a good team. Then once he's good , then go into online rivals. But it's hard. The best of the best

This in our house is known as fifa rage. My 14 year old DSS screams and shouts at it stamps his feet but won't play any other game. I really upset him a few days ago and beat him on it 😂 i don't know why they let it upset them so much but they do. A lot of the people online are grown men who have played it for many years so he shouldn't beat himself up about it. Maybe encourage him to do his ultimate team and focus on that

DS1 who is 21 has played it for years. It is the worst ps game IMO for rage. He kicked a lump out of his bedroom wall one day. I insist on it being turned off if he gets carried away with it now. And yes, he paid for the wall repair .,.

If he's playing online then the difficulty can't be changed, he's matched to another human player. But I don't really think an 11y/o should be playing online! Granted, it's not much of a problem in FIFA where there's no violence or voice chat.

I think the first thing you should do is keep it in easy mode, because if you play in hard mode the AI is very good. And above all, and the most important thing to avoid frustration, is that you do not play with people online, even for the moment, as there are authentic reincarnations of ronaldiño with the controls XD .... with these tips and a little luck will improve little by little...

Git gud, scrub.

Frankly as he cannot cope, he cannot play. To be allowed to play games demands a certain maturity to be able to hone ski and concentrate, and if he's just going to be a whiny little git over it, he isn't ready.

I’d take the game off him if he’s crying over it. That’s not healthy at all. Either sell it or put it away for a while
