This is stupid.
Allowing people to skip celebration would be actually the better option here. You can even keep it for the side that scored and just have a different camera view for the other side. Or show some decent stats instead. Or make the replay an educative one, pointing out what went wrong. So many possible options.
After 100 games it gets kind of boring to see the same celebrations and replays anyhow.

Just take all the celebrations out of online play. They are time wasting trash. Just go from goal to kick off. Get rid of the odious replays too and just have an option to view them after the match.
This is pathetic. Does nothing to address any actual problems with abuse and harassment and muddies the waters of what genuinely toxic community interactions look like.
Celebrations are a huge part of football. If you don't want someone to "toxic"ly celebrate: Don't let them score.

Insane. The celebrations aren't what's toxic here. It's the lack of in-game moderation within a game that allows such extensive expression. Folks can make racist shit in pro clubs, for instance. Folks can chat shit on mic and no one will ever do anything because no one reviews the reports.
This is the wrong move. They're taking the fun out of the game as a means of distracting from the fact that they aren't putting in the resources to combat this toxicity directly.
They need more FIFA moderators and in-game systems that promote pro-social behaviour between players (e.g. commendation systems in other games, sportsmanship ratings etc).

The spirit of soccer is very much that move. Top soccer players celebrate and defy the rival audience as a custom.
This is the correct answer.
Remove the celebrations if you want, but do it as part of a wider measure to remove all of this time wasting bullshit, not because you want to pretend to care about toxicity.
What annoys me infinitely more than the celebrations are the infinite amount of replays and other cinematics before a match even starts. Too many assholes who wanna waste your time watching all of those. When my opponent scores I don't need to watch half a minute worth of replays, and I don't need to see an overview of the stadium with the players warming up before every match.
Fully agree but you know, that cost money and EA doesn't like spending that when they don't need to.
" We were told by the community " they are being told about worst things than this by the community but they won't do squat about those.
As a Blue this forever endeared Fowler to me, a quality rock n' roll response.
After tactics and genius passes, it is for me. Whether it is real football or video games, I love taunting my friends when I do an extraordinary move or being taunted because I got owned or missed something. Even taunting opposite supporters while not insulting them. You know, some light-hearted fun. But I understand in this day and age many things can be seen as insulting but let's incriminate the act and not the disproportionate reaction 🤷♂️
So we should hide the problem with a half-assed solution not really solve it right ? Skipping celebrations all together in order to keep the pace of games and have a better moderated online space would have more sense but, yeah, let's withdraw some celebrations to "fight toxicity"...
Fans complained to EA that certain celebrations or acts were toxic, or were commonly abused by trolls. EA has listened to fans by removing them and shortening the lengths of some celebrations.
and people are seriously complaining here?
What's wrong with some of you?
Why?

if you'd bothered to read the actual article, you'd see that they've also made some updates to dramatically reduce the time for some of these non-playable sections and improve the pace of the game.
What a weird defensive way to reply to my comment about how most FIFA players are just dumb teenagers.
I was talking about skipping them altogether but yeah, I can't read 🤷♂️ And (not dramatically) reducing the animations makes the pacing problem still here online.
How is it defensive ? I shouldn't have replied?

Honestly anyone getting that rattled by someone doing a 'shh' celebration that they want it removed probably has bigger issues.
Maybe I misread, and if that's the case I'm sorry.
When I read your post seemed like you were implying I was somehow justifying this decision.
If they want to sell these things then maybe let the conceder have an option to 'mute' celebrations - just cut away to the scoreboard until the scorer is done
When saying that 90% of the players are teenagers (which is true, I was one of them 6 years ago ^^ ), I thought you were yeah. You were just picking the word "grown", I was more thinking "reasonable" than "adult"
Some people aren't you. I'm garbo at the game, I don't need to concede a goal and then have someone shush me when it deflected off of three defenders and warped through VVD's foot. I guess that makes me soft, but this world is shit as it is, I don't need it to be shit when playing a football game.
If you're mad at conceding a goal and someone using an emote, you're a child throwing a tantrum for losing.

Gotcha, then it was just a misunderstanding from us both lol, everything's cool :)
They are a waste of time after goals and slows the game down, get rid of the entire system. I hate when I accidentally start doing lame shit because I'm pressing A trying to get back into play.
