Nine goals — the complete dismantling of a top-flight opponent across ninety simulated minutes. FIFA's best games are the ones where the systems align and the football flows without the usual negotiation with the game engine's eccentricities. Nine goals is that alignment made explicit: the build-up working, the finishing converting, the defending incapable of interrupting the pattern. The ball deciding who you are is the game's level playing field — both teams have the same rules, and the session records who used them better.
