Momentum is wierd

[split igloo]

I like the new flicker, but patch 7 brought back one of the worst aspects of patch 3: Momentum resets and slow acceleration.

After many of the actions you take, your character slows all the way back down to a near standstill and slowly makes their way back up to speed.

Sometimes I EE boost and don't even get a speed boost because even that takes a minute to get up to speed. Sometimes I don't even move when I use EE because the game rubber bands me for some reason which is a new bug with patch 7.

Sometimes I tackle someone and they get the ball back anyways because my player decides to jog in place for a few seconds before they start moving again.

Constantly needing to take a huff and puff to get up to speed doing anything at all was a huge pain point in patch 3. Why did it get added back to the game? It feels awful and I dont like it.

Please get rid of momentum resets

Im not usually one to enjoy the "Realism" argumentations when it comes to Rematch, but we really do be moving like Amateur football players on the pitch, Football players can be on the pitch for up to 45 minutes at a time switching between speeds and moving on the field, but my character has to make sure to momentum reset to conserve energy for a 5 minute match (granted no overtime) 😅
It definitely feels like something is not quite right

The main offender for me is still doing any dribble move and trying to sprint after, feels like I'm carrying 40kg bodyvest the way it takes a second to even get moving

I don't know about you but I feel like momentum is at a right place for me now and it doesn't feel like my character is just moving in place after a tackle actually.

I often use tackle as a way to hitstun people after just letting the ball go for them to grab or the tackle off the wall bounce to reset my character with a ball block with L2 stance and then continue the dribble

If you tackle someone at the beginning of the kick you recover much faster than making contact with the ball a the end of your kick, for example. As soon as I noticed this it started killing me inside every time

[surreal snow]

Something about having already gone into recovery state near end of tackle but hitting early cancels it/makes it never go into recovery

[tight apex]

Yea, this probably explains what's up. It also happens to shoots, pushball too

[tight apex]

Yea, it does work that way unfortunately

[split igloo]

Thats really unpolished, especially since it wasn't nearly this bad just a single patch ago

Same thing with sprinting out of a d-stance dash you kinda just move, stop, and then sloooooowly start moving again

How does slowclap say they made all the movement more responsive for patch 7 when they make you stop after doing literally anything? This wasn't a problem in patch 6 how does this qualify as MORE responsive? 😭

[tight apex]

In most cases, it does feel responsive than patch 6

[scenic knot]

Dolphin Dive kinda ignores it. You did a rainbow flick or any trick? Sorry, the defender will wait just 1s and dolphin dhive with EE and Momentum and you just cant do anything about that, because he will reach you or even outrun in somecases

[young laurel]

I’m shocked anyone thinks momentum feels worse now than it did in the previous patch

[grim summit]

Deadset they have to ve chopped the only thing i could argue is that the stam drains really quick now but you can dribble no stam fine if need be

[split igloo]

Here's some of what I'm talking about. None of these pain points existed in patch 6.

After tackling, even if I don't make contact, my character starts moving like he's walking on glue. Literal ice physics.

Sometimes I get stuck in place by rubber banding when using EE

Sometimes when I use EE I don't even get boosted at all

Even when boosting you have weird acceleration and deceleration. It's not consistent. It's more pronounced when you're a sweeper

Again, the changes they made that made movement better like push ball out of dribble stance and sprinting out of defense stance dashes are great. The weird and inconsistent things also introduced in patch 7 from the clips makes it a net negative overall.

I don't have a clip of it but sometimes I push ball moments before some one tackles me, my character trips anyways even though I got rid of the ball. That's new to patch 7 and I hate that too.

[grim summit]

Bruh like all these clips look like a skill issue to me that hasnt happened to me yet and ive put a lot of hour into the new patch

Idk if its your roller or internet

Like only 1 that has happend is the slight stun when eeing sometimes but thats probs server side

[tight apex]

Turns are actually slower just a little slightly though

[split igloo]

Well yeah that's the crux of my complaints. This wasn't an issue before patch 7, yet now it is. I'm complaining that the patch made your basic movement controls LESS CAPABLE.
