[fallen pecan]

Why does the word note if you swap the v not count

It gets blocked

Trust me when I say if they ran a poll it would be in agreement they like the Ai defending, a large portion of the community love the ai defending because it does not make mistakes and makes their life easier

[lapis quartz]

Hi

[fresh jungle]

hola

[clear flame]

Ai defending got buffed because of the jockey buff

[subtle cairn]

Cao

[inner cloak]

lazy A22 8!tchs

[clear flame]

off the ball the Ai defenders jockey so if the speed is increased the Ai moves faster

[subtle cairn]

They should have only buffed jockey and not ai

[clear flame]

they can’t because the AI automatically jockeys when defending

[subtle cairn]

Could just make jockey with the player ur controlling good no?

Without it affecting the ai

[clear flame]

That’s what they should have done

[inner cloak]

they can bro there is always a way its thier game imagine u make a game and u cant controll what happens and whats not dosent make sense at all right?

[clear flame]

but they didn’t

[weary crag]

should not have touched tech+ if they were buffing defending and ai defending in general

[subtle cairn]

True

[clear flame]

that’s why the pitch is so congested now

[subtle cairn]

But all the kids in div 8 thought differently so here we are

[clear flame]

and with no way of scoring outside the box anymore the drop back and sit on the CDM the whole game is the meta

[subtle cairn]

The ai blocks are insane too

[weary crag]

honestly I understand why they touched it, controlled sprint being as fast as normal sprint, but still this was too much of a nerf

[fresh jungle]

What division or skill rating y’all even at?

[weary crag]

maybe slightly reduce the top speed but otherwise no need

[subtle cairn]

Div 4 atm

[weary crag]

no rivals/ 11-13 wins

[clear flame]

i’m in div 1 rn but i only play rivals to get 30 points i get like 13 wins in champs though

[subtle cairn]

For me the first touches and left stick feel way heavier too though

[subtle cairn]

10-12 wins

[weary crag]

I'm hoping that is more server gunk since they didn't mention anything ls patch, not needed at all imo leave ls alone it was great at the start

[subtle cairn]

Yh

[clear flame]

i think technical also helped with ball control even without holding r1 so that’s probably why everything feels slower

[weary crag]

vitinha can barely jog with tech+ they went too far with it

if they wanted to they should've nerfed tech dribbling for players without the base ps or ps+

dumb solution to not let the players without the ps do it but this is worse

[clear flame]

with 8 players in the box the tech + boost is what you needed to break through and get a shot off but you can’t do that anymore

[subtle cairn]

I don’t get why a multi billion dollar company haven’t made their servers good yet

So unstable

[fallen pecan]

You can’t out turn defends now especially Ai, you go to turn and pass and they are in your face it’s so stupid

[fallen pecan]

Div 1, 12-13 wins

[fresh jungle]

Berbatov spin cancel is fast af bro

[fallen pecan]

Facts as soon as you do get passed they catch back up because you either sprint and do heavy touches or jog and they get you

[subtle cairn]

Advanced roulette is sexy too

[weary crag]

honestly it would be fine if the servers were at least consistently garbage

[fallen pecan]

Yea I do that

[weary crag]

one game you can cancel to all hell, next game can barely ls

[subtle cairn]

Fr my 89 pace govou with rapid and quickstep consistently gets caught up with by players with way lower pace

[fresh jungle]

Cancelling skillmoves like la croquetta’s this year is so hard

Gotta shot cancel for some skillmoves to cancel it but sometimes my brain can’t comprehend 10 inputs in 0.2 sec

[subtle cairn]

My input lag limits me so hard

[clear flame]

you need low ping and input delay

[subtle cairn]

Yall know how to limit input delay on ps5?

[clear flame]

do you play on a tv or a monitor?

[subtle cairn]

26 ping, I play on a monitor 1440p and 120 hertz

[clear flame]

there is probably some youtube videos to help with it

[fresh jungle]

Yell at ur player while turning

[subtle cairn]

Will try out👍

[fresh jungle]

Barking also works well

[subtle cairn]

Is meowing effective too?

[weary crag]

when my brain and fingers do the servers don't

[upbeat depot]

26 ping is pretty high tbf if that's your standard. I get 8-10 when I match people in the UK and even that can sometimes be iffy depending on the time of day. 20-25 when I match EU players.

[weary crag]

what kinda ping do y'all get?

[clear flame]

4

[fresh jungle]

10-16

[fresh jungle]

Be ashamed you’re not a pro with that ping

[weary crag]

ppl should list their ping while voting in polls imo

[subtle cairn]

26-28 in Norway

[weary crag]

I'm at 20-30 and some days it just feels so chalked

plus playing demons on Asian servers sucks when gameplay is chalked

[subtle cairn]

Most days are bad for me

[weary crag]

yesterday felt okay during the gauntlet went 3/3 first go

but other days it's just not the same

[subtle cairn]

Was playing champs monday evening and holy it was so chalked, felt really heavy

[weary crag]

haven't bothered with champs or rivals in two weeks

market yoyoing isn't fun to keep up with 50 hour shifts

[fresh jungle]

Can’t earn coins without champs this year tho

[weary crag]

I got to 750k early and now I'm sitting there

buying teams led to more of a loss

[clear flame]

you can’t earn coins with champs either

[subtle cairn]

After the patch I don’t have fun playing rivals/champs anymore, before it was so fun attacking and when messing up defensively getting cooked

[upbeat depot]

tbf I'd take 26-28 ping living in Norway over 8-10 ping in the UK. Just looking outside is depressing and now I've got to play on this patch 😢

[fresh jungle]

Even tho getting gabriel as your best player from getting 15/0 isn’t worth playing it

[weary crag]

this is mainly why I stopped, not fun anyway and the coins weren't worth it

maybe next week onwards with the rewards refreshing

[subtle cairn]

True might take a break until things get better or stay away if they dy

Don’t

[clear flame]

it will only get worse with these polls probably

[subtle cairn]

Looks like it😢

[alpine finch]

If you need tiki your bad at the game

[weary crag]

I'm literally waiting to evo eusebio before I start playing properly

[subtle cairn]

Ooh Eusebio is a beast

[light cave]

I got 113 cruyff just now

[subtle cairn]

Loved him in draft

[weary crag]

johan is the best but I'll take a euse a few months early no doubt

[bright pilot]

Do I go back a div for the new season ?

[clear flame]

yes

[bright pilot]

No point pushing div 1 then save myself the stress and just wait xd

[weary crag]

do y'all think they'll let us evo the silver icons next week onwards

[subtle cairn]

No

[weary crag]

their wording made it seem like that but idk if they will, esp with pele and jairzinhoncoming

[subtle cairn]

They are making new ones soon

[weary crag]

gonna be toty at this rate

[subtle cairn]

Pelé and some others I think

[weary crag]

pele jay z muller and beckenbauer

[subtle cairn]

Yh

[weary crag]

not the biggest pele fan but jay z been balling ever since he came to the game

[west quartz]

when servers are bad even if i get a 4 ping match its the same as 20

[weary crag]

gameplay can be chalked even on good ping

[bright pilot]

Saliba or kounde

[marsh kernel]

bruh

why i keep like

randonly spiking ingame then its saying i disconnected

even tho my ethernet is fine

[worthy mist]

Were one step closer to fc 25 lads

[round shell]

Has EA acknowledge the gauntlet bug where it's not tracking progress?

[west crystal]

is hernandez worth doing instead of smolarek?

[solar nacelle]

Anyone know if there's was another patch after the big patch a few days ago?

[round shell]

Just one for disconnects

[solar nacelle]

Okay

[glass tree]

How are your servers worse than when I used to play over a decade ago?

[weary crag]

RIP Fifa 23

[glass tree]

seriously, had better connection on a significantly worse internet back in 2012 than I do 2025 lmao

[weary crag]

games grown massively since then and the cheapskates never expanded servers worldwide

[glass tree]

yeah not a $ has gone to servers for sure

[weary crag]

doesn't have to when people still buy spend and play without them fixing a thing related to connection

basic business, same reason they listen to 'casuals' for stuff like gk movement

[glass tree]

facts, why bother spending money when chumps like me still buy packs. I haven't bought this pos since 17 but they finally got me to cave again 😭 If only Konami wasn't even worse

[weary crag]

thing is, as bad as everyone says this game is, there's literally no viable competition

they have zero incentive other than their balance sheet to fix anything, they didn't care until 25 tanked their revenue and now they suddenly 'care'

[glass tree]

I went to PES from 18 to 21 and the gameplay was a lot more fun it just lacked the licenses and online was insanely bad for input delay/lag. FIFA online connection was significantly better than PES but on fc 26(for me) it's as bad as that was.

Competition is good but still requires the games to actually want to improve not just plop out garbage

[weary crag]

profit is king broski, only thing that'll make them wanna improve the game and listen to the community is a loss, and they took a pretty big L last year

tho idk if listening to the community this much is a good idea since half the people don't know what they actually want

[glass tree]

and so far with the buy out all we get is saudi sbc players lol

[weary crag]

it'll change soon enough, but this game makes more than enough money, im more interested to see what saudi does with their other IPs

fifa eafc sells itself we're just too rabidly passionate about the game of football

[weary crag]

i miss fifa 23, at least the soundtrack slapped with ten years of fifa bangers

[rugged junco]

It’s not in eas hand to fix the servers, theirs are working, it’s the psn side wich causes the problems

[weary crag]

pretty shameless on playstation's behalf then ngl

been well over a decade since ps4 launched more than enough time to get servers in order

[rugged junco]

It’s psn, they didn’t even care abt us during their datalacks

Censoreship is wild on this server

[rugged junco]

Eh still doesn’t work like that

U connect via the psn nat gateway to the psn server, then the psn server connects u to the ea server. We got that since fifa 22

[weary crag]

what NAT type do people get usually?

[rugged junco]

1 or 2 ?

Like peer to peer wasn’t better but it atleast gave us a viable connection

[weary crag]

having NAT type 2 usually always gets me a ig message in other games, calling type 2 limited with higher ping

[weary crag]

sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe sheyat

[rugged junco]

U can’t controll that anyways

[weary crag]

shame

[rugged junco]

Eh abuseable nowadays cuz the host could disconnect u

[weary crag]

i've done all i can from my end then for some proper ping

[rugged junco]

U can’t do anything but turning on ur ps5

Oh well

Get a Xbox

Theirs work

[weary crag]

dead platform atp no

[rugged junco]

But then it’s Xbox

Noclue why Xbox lost the console war

[weary crag]

ik exactly why lol

[rugged junco]

Why

Wasn’t it cuz gta got rlsed on it later on ps4 Xbox 1 era

[weary crag]

on announcement: no game sharing on xbox, 100 dollars up on the ps4 price, microsoft account and constant internet connection required

nah nah they shot themselves in the foot with the launch

PS4 just did exactly the opposite and had a clean sweep

[rugged junco]

Well their console and server structure is better

Their controller is just shut

[blazing nacelle]

I’m like 2k XP from maxing the season pass but I’ve completed nearly every UT objective available. Does anybody know if there are any career mode objectives I can do for more XP? I missed the first 2-3 weeks of this game cycle so that is why I am a bit behind…

[pallid mica]

D

You made this game very difficult for casual players. In 1 or 2, only pro players would play this much. you can't defend and everyone is spinning with r1. Year after year you make it more and more impossible to play, harder and harder. In a few years only YouTubers and Pro players will be playing it.

[weary crag]

servers yes, other infra god no

if im getting halo and forza on PS then the bells are a tolling for xbox as a console

[thin condor]

Has the bug that takes you out of the game been fixed?

[weary crag]

PC? they patched yesterday and had a makeshift solution too afaik

[icy rampart]

Its still crap on pc

They dont care

[weary crag]

this stuff is why i stick to ps despite pc gameplay being clear

horribly optimized

[icy rampart]

Yea i regeet moving over to pc for it

Worse for us

[thick shell]

is pc that cooked rn?

just moved to ps

[weary crag]

optimization and market are basically why i play on ps

[dire magnet]

Hi

[nocturne sail]

anyone know why i can't claim the 83x10 for the perfect round on gauntlet? i just had a perfect round and i legit can't claim it

[ruby latch]

Maybe you claimed other rewards too?

You're limited to 8 rewards out of 10

[nocturne sail]

ohhh i finished 8 but i didn't claim them

[ruby latch]

Once you get those 8, you get Benzema and can't get any other reward anymore

Try claiming the 83x10 only !

[weary crag]

is there any way I could mathematically get all the rewards for the gauntlet

[ruby latch]

I can't test it bc I'm on PC and matchmaking is legit broken but I've seen people on reddit complain about it

[nocturne sail]

i did 8 objectives already, but i only claimed 5. now, i did a perfect round and it just doesn't count

[ruby latch]

Isn't it two perfect rounds ?

[nocturne sail]

just one

[ruby latch]

Hm, idk then. Ea being EA 😁

[heady granite]

Claiming doesn't matter, once you're done with 8, it's done

[nocturne sail]

that's so bs dude

[ruby latch]

Maybe they only count the objectives achieved first ?

[nocturne sail]

missed out on two 83x10s cuz i used non rare teams instead of building cheap squads i guess 😖

[bronze pawn]

Pina or Benzema scream

[heady granite]

Hate to say it but Benzema is not that great

[bronze pawn]

So pina

?

[ruby latch]

Haha I have the same issue, I was legit wondering how come I have to make MLS teams for round 2/3 when everyone I face legit has the usual Pina, ayoze perez, etc

[heady granite]

Pina yeah, replace her with Rashford, Rashford sbc dropping Friday

[nocturne sail]

yeah i just ended up building 3 decent squads and it was piss easy. this one's def on me

[bronze pawn]

I have rash evo on my lw

[weary crag]

szn pass players + main team for most players and the first two games

[dry sable]

Pina is still quite good

[ruby latch]

I think there's no striker that's better than Pina in game right now 😄 I refuse to use her out of principle though, but if you're looking for the best card she's right there

[bronze pawn]

Ok thanks

[ruby latch]

Swanson in striker is quite good and underused if you want something cheap and funky

[heady granite]

I'd suggest take the ST rashford from the SBC pick and put nico on the LW

[nocturne sail]

tbh always recommend trying cards out if you're considering having them in your team. tried out some random-ish cards this year and ended up really enjoying them

[weary crag]

gauntlet is great for this

that english dembele from the pass is dope

[nocturne sail]

ratings reload conceicao is a card i really really love and only used because i got rui costa in my hero pack

[heady granite]

Gauntlet is a W addition

[ruby latch]

Bro there's gonna be a good SBC card quite soon, Zoe Matthews

Playmaker ++, incisive, tiki taka, 84 pace, 83 physical, 6ft2 (!!) girl

84 overall so I feel like good evos could be used on her

[ruby latch]

I've been doing well with the Diego Luna ultimate scream card

[nocturne sail]

oo i used him for objectives a few days ago and tbh he's pretty fun to use

[ruby latch]

Yeah plus legit looking lowk unique in game

Rodman with her pink hair for instance

Bro legit looks like a gang member

[ionic vine]

I can’t believe keeper movement might get removed

[ruby latch]

I think it's more likely gonna be a nerf

[ionic vine]

Keeper movement is not op at all

It’s so easy to bait

[ruby latch]

Yeah I feel the same, I honestly don't even notice when someone is using it unless it's really blatant

I think that people just usually shoot asap and have no patience so they get countered by gk movement, but if you actually take your time it becomes a non issue

[barren sand]

I'm 50 hours in the game a'd I'm still trash when it comes to online games bruh

They're just better than me of they've played other fifas before

What's the best trick I should do with doué

[sacred nova]

@barren sand Just play and play and play, youll get better the more you play. Try to learn from ur enemys and watch yt tutorials

Its difficult to understand the meta this year, tbh I dont even know if theres a meta.

triangle passes are good this year, but u need a good passer with incisive playstile

[teal sierra]

Guys hanker joined my account and i lost my 400.000 coins...help xd

[sacred nova]

ur cooked ngl, maybe write ea support and hope for the best

[teal sierra]

I have to wait 3-4 minutes they said...its been 8 hours since no new messages

[sacred nova]

write them again and say u waited 8 hours, but maybe they dont work at night

[teal sierra]

Work...they used bots

[sacred nova]

ye thats why ur maybe cooked with ur account

[teal sierra]

Nice

[viscid canyon]

the game is playable or nothing different?

[teal sierra]

I can play but i have nothing

[viscid canyon]

why when i enter the game, every f time, its in windows mode?

not in full screen

[barren sand]

Yeaa I won 5-3

Should I play co op or nah

I'm in division 10

[lapis lichen]

@barren sand Div 10?

[barren sand]

Yea?

[barren sand]

Yea nah bro those devs are bad

like wtf

This game has to reduce its lags 😭

[barren sand]

Oh ye I js saw the message ty for the tips

I managed to win so I guess I've slightly improved

The guy I 1v1d got 2 red cards 🔥

[alpine finch]

Why does mbappe feel like a truck i wasted 4 mill on his sbc

[ruby latch]

is the first choice player pack any good

[glass tree]

either lag or you getting handicapped for having too much of a better team than your opponent lmao

[frail grotto]

its still dc pc,gg. i bulded draft and after 1s dc

[rare valve]

Ea. You listen this guys and you Kill the game ... This game now is played but you Change the game every week is hard for played every week a diferent game stop listen this guys

[north stirrup]

the dc problem on pc is gone?

or do i need to change the crowd setting?

[ruby latch]

I heard that disabling crossplay also helps

I haven't tested it cause I'm not home yet

But try that in top of crowd

If anything the patch yesterday introduced me to the DC issue so I assume it's actually worse

[pale talon]

Does anyone know if modes like gauntlet/ tournaments are played on a p2p (peer-to-peer) connection or in dedicated servers? Idk why but gameplay on this modes feel so much more responsive, stable and faster comparing to Rivals or Champions gameplay... Anyone else feel the same?

[glass tree]

all online FUT is laggy for me so dont think its dedicated

[tame parcel]

what a nice compesantion

[uneven zinc]

This new patch is just horrible… i’m quiting the game to be honest. Fm26 is coming

[flat zenith]

Hello! Do you know when the FC 26 will be reduced?

[alpine finch]

no lag he has fel like a dog since fc 24

[brave laurel]

just pcaked yamal out of 79x2

[sinful oar]

I think that EA went completely in the wrong direction when they decided on the current system for the esports scene. They chose to do it with ultimate team, but an actually interesting one would've been pro clubs. Just imagine pro players playing giant pro clubs tournaments, Anders Vejrgang might be the goat of the pro scene right now, idk I don't follow it because it's boring, but if it was pro clubs based maybe we'd have players that suck at defense but are better than him at attacking, or suck at attacking but are amazing defenders, we'd have whole teams and actual people trying to play as a team with their own tactics, I feel like a pro clubs esports scene would be much more interesting than what we have right now

League of legends esports are team based, overwatch, csgo, almost every game that had a successful esports scene was team based

I honestly can't think of a successful esport that isn't team based

[misty ore]

why dont they stop the leakers they are ruinning the game

[pallid mica]

Most of you pay other people to play and then come and say the game is good, okay?

[steep patio]

Have fun 🙂

[outer trellis]

Have they reverted the patch yet or is the game still cooked

[misty ore]

Kounde from 2x79 leeeeets gooooooo

[glass tree]

very nice

[grim verge]

Sigue bastante nerfeado a la hora de atacar... es horrible

[swift anvil]

Boys any news about New update?

[runic needle]

Nobody else thinks powershot needs a buff?

So much talk about the low driven powershot

For no one to use it

[kindred portal]

why r all u bums voting u strongly dislike keeper movement

[nova crown]

Has anyone got this message in Android app ? Not sure what is this about :

"Thank you for your patience while the team worked through resolving an issue that was affecting your account.

We have granted Season Points that will be added to your overall Season Points balance when you enter the FC Hub.

[weary crag]

yeah just did

[misty ore]

Why dont my players tackle when i press x

[alpine finch]

advanced

[misty ore]

Im using it

[ember topaz]

Guys should i use nico williams over saka?

[clear flame]

yes

[alpine finch]

problem solved

[scarlet ice]

why the hell do y'all dislike gk movement?

[clear flame]

because they are too impatient to wait half a second and shoot the other way

[quasi bridge]

Dont dislike it just a pain when i finally break the rats 6atb defensive AI am then facing the final boss on where the keeper movement is going

[clear flame]

The problem is that they can’t really nerf it more than they already have

and if they remove it then every shot goes in

[proud mulch]

Honestly… if they remove the GK movement and instead add some type of AI.. that makes the keepers try to predict the typicall shots… ill be happy

[clear flame]

they already did that for fc26

[jaunty quarry]

and that's much better than what's currently happening 🙂

[clear flame]

how?

[jaunty quarry]

because it's less random?

[clear flame]

if someone moves the keeper one side of the goal and you shoot that way still that is on you

not the game for having keeper movement

[jaunty quarry]

you can wait that additional half a second sometimes, but sometimes you either can't because of a defender getting to you, or the enemy moves the keeper in a good timing

[clear flame]

so timing the keeper movement takes skill then?

[jaunty quarry]

no, it is a random thing xD you are just guessing when exactly the enemy will take their shot

[clear flame]

so why don’t you guess where he will move it and shoot the other way?

[jaunty quarry]

I do guess, and it is often successful

but it is GUESSING, which brings randomness

[ancient kettle]

You guess based on likelyhood

It takes a skill to analyse the situation and the opponent

[clear flame]

it’s a pattern thing

if your opponent shoots near post

you will move him near post next shot

[ancient kettle]

Is it smart to move the keeper now or not? That you need to decide

And also you need ti read your opponent. When does he move his keeper?

It also allows for situations like this: you need to guess as a keeper if your opponent is expecting the movement or not

[jaunty quarry]

ye, there is some skill in that mechanics, but there is also much of randomness and it's a toxic mechanic

and have you ever seen a striker waiting with his shot for the goalkeeper to move to the either side irl?

[ancient kettle]

How is it toxic

[clear flame]

you say it like it’s impossible to score if the keeper is moved

it’s not toxic at all

[topaz zealot]

Keeper

Movement

Gotta go

[ancient kettle]

Yes you do see strikers delaying the shot to make the keeper move firsr

[topaz zealot]

If someone's defending it all u gotta say is give me a real example where u see a keeper moving as a striker is winding up his shot

[jaunty quarry]

it is toxic, I use it aswell not to put myself in a disadvantage, and it doesn't even feel good to save a shot that way

[ancient kettle]

Have you watched the wc final? You think martinez should have waiting on the line instead of moving towards mbappe?

[topaz zealot]

Different situation

[ancient kettle]

Is it also toxic to manual defend

Instead you should not be able to move your defenders right???

[jaunty quarry]

you mean Kolo Muani situation? ^^ that was an equivalent of using Y (triangle) which is fine

[ancient kettle]

Its toxic

[topaz zealot]

Bro HOW can u defend keeper movement

[cobalt bolt]

Hmmm am so glad this update fixed everything…now the game is not launching and have no tension of getting mad at whatever happens.. 🤣

[magic plover]

keeper movement is one of the remamining skills a player can have, like why did they remove finishing

[topaz zealot]

If u genuinely defend keeper movements Im js gonna assume you have no life because thats not normal behaviour

[ancient kettle]

Because it is a mechanic that requires user input and therefore skill

[topaz zealot]

Jobless

[ancient kettle]

I have a job thank you

[magic plover]

uhhh

[topaz zealot]

Its legit gambling u see a player shooting and u guess 50 50 which way hes gonna shoot goalkeepers dont do that in real life they run at the player and try make themselves as big as possible

[cobalt bolt]

Whats the point of if the gool
Keeper cannot move two steps. Then you need to get a under 18 game and play with parents guidance. The goalkeeper movement is a must have thing

[ancient kettle]

Its gambling for low divs

[vapid edge]

Yk for the gauntlet obj can u do all of them even if u already done 8?

[ancient kettle]

But its skill for higher divs

[topaz zealot]

Its the most unrealistic thing I've ever seen if you defend keeper movement you dont play football its that simple

[clear flame]

gambling has risks if you move it the wrong way it’s an open goal

[topaz zealot]

Its legit that simple you dont play

[cobalt bolt]

Nops

[magic plover]

sadly not

[distant brook]

Anyone wanna play clubs?

Before playoffs end

[vapid edge]

Ok thanks

[ancient kettle]

Back in the days you could move the keeper all over the goal line

[topaz zealot]

Not the point it turns a clear chance into a 50 50 coin flip when it should never be like that

Id im 1 on 1 with ur keeper why should that be a coin flip ive beaten ur whole team

[clear flame]

no chance is ever 100% a goal

removing keeper movement will make it 100%

[topaz zealot]

Yeah but it turns a clear chance into a coin flip thats my point

[clear flame]

because of how bad keepers are

[topaz zealot]

Not true your keeper can still make the save

[jaunty quarry]

ye, and that's why keepers do save shots sometimes by their own?

[magic plover]

its not 50/50

[magic plover]

sadly yeah

[topaz zealot]

How is it not 50 50 if he guesses right he saves it

[ancient kettle]

That's funny because i score 90% of the goals despite my opponent moving their keeper

[cobalt bolt]

EA FC made for kids 👦 🤣🤣🤣

🤦🏻

[ancient kettle]

That's not true

[topaz zealot]

Congrats we dont all have the time to be studying patterns to score open goals in fifa

[magic plover]

yeah we are heading that way seeing those update

[jaunty quarry]

ye, it's not exactly 50/50, but more like 60/40 which is still pathetic if you managed to get 1v1 with enemy keeper.

[topaz zealot]

Fifa in its current state is one on of the most jobless games ever its impossible to play

[clear flame]

it’s not hard to use your brain

[ancient kettle]

Me neither but its simple it takes an iq over room temperature

[topaz zealot]

Its not hard to get a job either

[magic plover]

yeah but i mean, without goalkeeper movement a 1v1 situation turn into a 90% goal

[cobalt bolt]

Keepers should be allowed to move diagonally. To keep it more original. Not femove it

360 movement

[clear flame]

because i can look where my opponent moves his keeper i dont have a job?

[weary crag]

gonna be 20 goal games now

[jaunty quarry]

and that's how it should be? managing to get into 1v1 should be rewarded with a goal

[cobalt bolt]

Common learn to play.. FIFA.

Anyone ever tried double tap 🔼

[topaz zealot]

Lads im in a good college studying a hard degree and I balance having a girlfriend and a job on top of that sometimes I get an evening to myself to js play some fifa and im not terrible im div 3 not great but not terrible but when I load into a game and im stuck with people like you guys who just sit all day studying all the mechanics telling me I need to be able to predict the keepers movement before I shoot it js makes me not wanna play let me get my reward for creating ghe chance

[cobalt bolt]

Or Triple try it before new update.

[jaunty quarry]

I'm getting ~11 wins in champs, so I'm not a pro, but not a bad player too, I guess, and this mechanic is toxic, end of story.

[clear flame]

double tap triangle is broken tbf

way too quick

[topaz zealot]

If u think these jobless mechanics are going to attract players then ur just wrong

The game isnt meant to appeal to people like u who treat it as a full time job

Gaming is a casual hobby

[clear flame]

this mechanic has been in the game for years why now is it a problem?

[topaz zealot]

Ur supposed to play a couple evenings a week in ur free time

[sinful junco]

Are they just taking away all skill in this game

[cobalt bolt]

Kids complaining.

[sinful junco]

Gk movement

[ancient kettle]

Thanks for sharing your life buddy but again if you dont like a game that requires skill then play offline

[topaz zealot]

I complained about it in fifa 22 and fifa 23 and fifa 24 and fifa 25 and ill complain about it next fifa as well until its gone

[ancient kettle]

Just play a different game if you don't enjoy it

[sinful junco]

Exactly

[clear flame]

so why not instead of spending 4 years complaining learn to get better?

[topaz zealot]

But i love football i grew up with football i wanna play a football game

Fifa has the worst fan base oat

You people treat it like a job

[cobalt bolt]

ES should lainch EA FC for kids 😂

[ancient kettle]

Bc of people like you that only complain

[clear flame]

the more ‘realistic’ this game has become the less fun it is

[sinful junco]

Is gk movement getting removed

[ancient kettle]

You do. Bc if you dont like it dont play it. Simple you are here crying

[topaz zealot]

Yeah and they can take out skill cancelling and keeper movements and on my mothers life itll make 10x more money then tag

This fifa

[cobalt bolt]

I removed the game before they could

[topaz zealot]

Cuz of ppl like u who think its healthy for a game ro be this jobless

[jaunty quarry]

your point is so invalid, I do use keeper movement while defending and I do wait with my shots, I'm not losing because of that mechanic, that's not the point ^^

[strange lagoon]

Jesus Christ lads. Keeper movement has been in the game for years, I beg u guys that are awful stop crying about it

[sinful junco]

Ppl who don't like GK movement and player locks and all that are just bad at the game and moan abt it

[sinful junco]

Fr

[clear flame]

so when the update comes out and you concede every shot how will that be a good thing?

[topaz zealot]

Fifa as it is is already the most jobless games of all time if u miss a week of rivals or fut champs ur behind already and by the next week ur teams worse so u do worse and get worse rewards and the only way to compete is to sink ur life Into it or to put money on

Keeper movement and player lock just makes it 10x worse

[sinful junco]

They are ruining the game

[cobalt bolt]

Skill gap.. small hand kids using parents cc.. 🤦🏻

[weary crag]

I'm not a huge fan of gk movement but I'm surprised people complain about it now, years after it was introduced

[strange lagoon]

People go 15-0 with rtg teams tho? So this points invalid lmao

[weary crag]

like it's been like this for years atp ik every keeper is gonna move

[jaunty quarry]

because I will also get those goals in offensive?

[cobalt bolt]

He is a credit card small hand kids.. ignore he has some serious skill issues

[topaz zealot]

Yeah if ur jobless probably but to anyone who doesnt treat fifa like a job thats the reality

[topaz zealot]

What div are u

[clear flame]

but when defending was harder and games ended 9-8 it was a problem?

[cobalt bolt]

10

[topaz zealot]

Id probably smack all of u without moving my keeper or player lock

With my rare gold team

[strange lagoon]

Peak

[jaunty quarry]

that's because this year suddenly everyone uses it, even noobs in div 6, before it was rarely seen apart from high divisions

[sinful junco]

U js wouldn't mate

[topaz zealot]

Play rn

If ur bad

[sinful junco]

What div r u

[cobalt bolt]

Rare gold team?? Creit card FC is coming

[topaz zealot]

Div 3

[clear flame]

if you are bad at keeper movement you will concede

[jaunty quarry]

nope, I didn't have any problem with that, since I can defend well

[strange lagoon]

U just said ur in college and have a bird as ur excuse not to play, lock in lil bro, I guarantee you that this girl ur with now, u won’t be with her in the future

[weary crag]

bruh I see player lock in div 7 onwards, people always abuse any effective mechanic in fifa games that's just how it's been

[sinful junco]

Div 3 and Ur moaning abt meta keeper movement and player locks

[jaunty quarry]

I'm not bad at it and I'm doing great in this game xD

[topaz zealot]

Man said leave ur bird to play fifa

[topaz zealot]

I was elite 2 fifas ago complaining about keeper movement

[weary crag]

most people would suffer on Asian servers icl

[strange lagoon]

I didn’t say leave ur bird to play fifa😭 I said she won’t be round when u grow older lmaooo

[junior cedar]

ANY play on nintendo switch 1

[clear flame]

there are much bigger problems in this game than keeper movement

[cobalt bolt]

Savage 😂😂😂

[jaunty quarry]

and their usage of player locks brings them nothing, since this actually requires some skill, contrary to moving a keeper

[topaz zealot]

Alr bro

[sinful junco]

So I take it then U do come against people who use keeper movement

[clear flame]

a bad player will move the keeper early or the wrong way so clearly there is some skill to it

[strange lagoon]

Is what it is brother, these kids need to realise that not every relationship is destined to work 😭 guys acting like they’re a power couple to why he can’t play fifa 🤣

[weary crag]

honestly don't care what they do with it, got used to it a long time ago atp idc

[topaz zealot]

No im just complaining about a problem ive never faced

[clear flame]

if you want to make this game more AI based then take it out but it will ruin the game

[sinful junco]

There really is just a skill gap between people who don't like keeper movement and who do

[weary crag]

why not just put the controller down and let the AI play itself at this rate

[topaz zealot]

Bro when did i say that

[cobalt bolt]

These kids have ruined the game. They have small brains, have hard time learning how to play and think Auto Aim Assist features like other games is enjoyable. SKILL GAP.. issues

[topaz zealot]

Bros got trauma from his ex

[sinful junco]

Instead of complaining about it for 4 or so years why don't U try and learn it

[topaz zealot]

I move my keeper as well bro?

[strange lagoon]

I’m in a stable relationship, my only relationship to be honest with yourself, 6 and a half years strong 🤣 I like that from u tho

[sinful junco]

So why are U complaining

[cobalt bolt]

He cant he has is Rare Gold team.. CREDIT CARD FC

[topaz zealot]

Congrats bro but like what does this have to do with what were talking about?

[strange lagoon]

Unfortunately no one wants to learn, I’m in elite, haven’t had one issue, everyone else doesn’t like learning tho

[jaunty quarry]

they can't understand that a mechanic can be bad even if you're able to use it properly

[sinful junco]

So it's okay for U but when someone else does it U don't like it?

Typical

[cobalt bolt]

True.

[strange lagoon]

U said I had trauma, thought I’d help u out g, just learn the game, you’ll get there one day, if ur getting beat by people who basically have arthritis, hang the sticks up

You say u don’t care, but ur arguing about the game in a discord, so u obviously care for the game

[topaz zealot]

You guys js dont know football like I do im a total football conniseure high pressure ball possession stuff people dont get chances against me only thing they have to compete is keeper movements

[cobalt bolt]

Hahah, i also feel people try go grab attention here just trying to stipulate arguments for no reason.

[topaz zealot]

W life story anyways

[topaz zealot]

Bro go take care of ur kids

[sinful junco]

EA is a joke it's just little kids playing the game trying to get rid of good stuff and they listen

[strange lagoon]

People don’t get chances against u, but u can’t get out of div 3?

[cobalt bolt]

Omg what the f is this.. are that kid who uses extreme tactics and run on wings and then cross… hahah i already knew..

[ancient kettle]

@topaz zealot you claim you are so busy yet you are here arguing for over 20 minutes

[topaz zealot]

Grim isnt it

[ancient kettle]

Seems like you have a lot of free time then to learn the game

[sinful junco]

Cuz of keeper movement apparently

[clear flame]

the problem is when EA do it themselves people complain they aren’t listening to the community but when they do this is what happens

[strange lagoon]

🤣🤣🤣

[topaz zealot]

God forbid a man has a morning to himself im in work at 3 till half 10 and ive been in the library every day for the past week

College mid term

[ancient kettle]

And you use that precious time to argue and complain?

[cobalt bolt]

All those high pressure tactics and the gk blocks you. Wonder why you are complaining ever since.. GO LEARN.. watch Krasi videos

[topaz zealot]

I saw there was a poll but I cant find it

[sinful junco]

Maybe look in #📊┃polls mate

[cobalt bolt]

Haha Noob FC Rat

[topaz zealot]

Good shout brian

[topaz zealot]

Bro ur a grown aah man

What are u doing here

On the fifa discord

Genuinely what are u doing

[cobalt bolt]

Am enjoying you denying learning new skills. And complaining

🤣🤣

[sinful junco]

Fr

[topaz zealot]

Maybe go take care of ur children?

Weird

[vapid edge]

Unc chill bro

[cobalt bolt]

Am off, I hope you find Solice with gk wearing iron boots clamped to the turf..

[clear flame]

aura

[vapid edge]

Wasn’t funny gng but ok

[topaz zealot]

Dayum

Anyways if u still think keeper movement is valid then

Indeed.com

^

[ruby latch]

keeper movement has to stay

[frozen orbit]

It has to get nerfed

[clear flame]

how can they nerf it more than they already have though?

they’ve already made it 1 or 2 steps

and doesn’t move back straight away

[fallow vortex]

Keeper movement has to go

[misty ore]

This game is such trash

It legit makes me cry

[clear flame]

because of AI

and getting rid of keeper movement will make it even more AI

[polar vortex]

If your yapping about keeper move my u suck at the game

[misty ore]

What even is keeper movement? Allowing you to control the keeper or what?

[polar vortex]

Honestly it’s such an easy thing to learn

[clear flame]

you can press the right stick in and move the keeper left or right

[misty ore]

And people want that gone?

[clear flame]

yes

[misty ore]

Rn its 50/50 you gonna score if they remove that its 100 you gonna score

[clear flame]

because apparently they cant shoot the opposite way to where the keeper is standing

[long elbow]

Yah me to a swear that If a move my GK its Like

No man a Dont Wanna move

[misty ore]

Yeah just shoot to the opposite every time and youll score if they remove it

[scarlet ice]

Bro gk movement is such a good mechanic

Literally makes a good skill gap

[normal locust]

game is unplayable on pc lol

it feels like you're playing with 999+ ping lol everything is slow in rivals

[fierce lagoon]

Not gonna touch the game until they revert the patch

[clear flame]

they won’t revert it

just adjust the r1 dribbling a bit

but the AI will still be op

[viscid mauve]

Bro holy when do these ppl make pc playable again

Ea is Genuinely worse than ubisoft atp

[crystal shore]

._.

[viscid mauve]

How tf does it take a multi billion dollar company a week to fix half the player base not being able to play their biggest game

Regret i ever bought ts everyday

[stone island]

I think you answered your own question

[viscid mauve]

How come

[proven portal]

Yeah sure, let’s remove gk movement, favor the fidget spinners and make the game completely noob friendly. Let’s remove skill gaps, make it spinner vs spinner. It’s becoming a joke. As an elite div player, I’ve never used r1 so I don’t care. I use skill moves and player lock, but removing gk movement where it’s about skill you can predict the shots? Crazy

[crystal shore]

Gk movement is balanced

[proven portal]

Also not to mention why isn’t pc still fixed the full screen thingy and the performance being worse than last update

[crystal shore]

Just become unpredictable

[proven portal]

Shame after shame

[chilly osprey]

nicole cole is hot!!

LY is so luky

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

nah she isnt effect LY

[floral mural]

Guys is competitive gameplay just default sliders? like if i go to custom and keep the sliders to what it is for competitive but change like the injury frequency and stuff will the gameplay be the same or what. i might be stupid but i just wanted to confirm

[signal frigate]

I downloaded & installed the update on Steam and now I get disconnects!

[chilly osprey]

as being from ireland i accept LY gf

[sharp delta]

Which pogba would you say is better the CAM or CDM ?

[hard thorn]

why ea doesn't give pre patch to pro and stream player and some few randomly player to test patch before list it

[chrome juniper]

game is legit dead i play a game win dc at the end servers are legit fried they are removing stuff that takes skill to cater to the players that are in div 8

[hard thorn]

like demo

[chrome juniper]

cam

[chrome juniper]

ea dont care about the care they make so much of fp so why should they care

[hard thorn]

yea i didn't have fun this week it's so bad

[chrome juniper]

ea is legit doing what some games have done in the past that killed their game

fortnite cater to the bad players it fell off

[clear flame]

that’s for online game modes only

[hard thorn]

yep they should just announce game and don't change nothing just glitchs

[chrome juniper]

ea remove gk movement which makes 0 sense cause if u guess hes going far post 10/10 times they shoot near post

[floral mural]

what about career mode?

[chrome juniper]

tbf there has been bugs in this garbage since day 1 crashing ext

[clear flame]

they have authentic gameplay preset

[floral mural]

but i am able to switch between competitive and authentic on career mode as well and the difference is night and day

[hard thorn]

yes but this week is so bad i fell like i play fc25 and more slow

[floral mural]

also i feel like the difficulty thing is broken because ultimate difficulty on cm is way too easy

[clear flame]

competitive is faster authentic is more realistic

[chrome juniper]

tell me about it bro its like randomly my players are stuck in mud then there is the bug with not being able to make subs

[hard thorn]

yes in pc i have it to i can't do subs some matches

[chrome juniper]

u go to team management and it just backs u out this game is not finished its like a closed beta but worse

[chrome juniper]

same

[hard thorn]

and players feel slow when they start run if ball far a litle

[prime prawn]

Pina 🤬🤬🤬🤬

[chrome juniper]

one of the things that is really annoying me tho is the fact since launch i have not had a single player over 100k i get 9-12wins in weekend league and im div1 its so demotivating to play this when i have friend in div 4 who packs icon gerd muller then tradeable cornerstone messi then tradeable putteles and bonmati

[cedar wigeon]

Da goat

[chrome juniper]

then tradeable hansen

[prime prawn]

They have to give her a nerv

[hard thorn]

no way hahahahaha

[rain saffron]

Nothing wrong with this imo

[somber garnet]

Not possible she can do everything

[cedar wigeon]

Istg she moving like prime r9 icl😭

[rain saffron]

Everyone wants to pack players over 100k

[hard thorn]

the fact you are tryharding to have better packs but nothing show

[prime prawn]

The cost for my team +2m but pina it’s OP

[chrome juniper]

lol

the funny thing is they said they want this game to be "realistic" but pina who has 79pace is better than mbappe

[rain saffron]

That’s part of slowing down the power curve, trying to keep people with bad to medium teams

[hard thorn]

if they want that they should limit market to 5 list or buy in day bcz they are making money from trading servers so nothing change

[empty jackal]

what we “realistically” need is #1431594667828580484

[hard thorn]

and 99 str

[somber garnet]

Van Dijk eats her alive after the patch

[chrome juniper]

they did not lower the power curve one bit

[chrome juniper]

i just scored 4 goals with pina against van dijk and kounde

[hard thorn]

van dijk back yes like 25 just tackle like stupid and you will get the ball

[rain saffron]

That would just stop the pump and dump market which doesn’t really affect cards most players want. Those pump and dump servers choose a random bronze or silver card most of the time and inflate it

They don’t really pump and dump meta cards that people actually use

[somber garnet]

She is still good but van Dijk is the most annoying against her for me

[hard thorn]

that's makes them million coins so easy to have team

and who play nothing get

[somber garnet]

I mean you don’t really need coins on of the best striker in de game is 10k

[rain saffron]

I mean gold cards are still really good as of today and less people have the elite cards this early on.

[misty ore]

So drafts never gonna be fixed

Ey

[chrome juniper]

idk what teams u are playing but in rivals all i play is mbappe and dembele

[rain saffron]

What div ?

[hard thorn]

AL OWAIRAN Scream hero is most one i see

[rain saffron]

Yea a lot of people have him

Seen him in the gauntlet a few times

[rain saffron]

Funny enough those 2 aren’t even as scary as the bonmati pina combo

[signal frigate]

This game is unplayable

[empty jackal]

#1431594667828580484

[somber garnet]

Real

[rain saffron]

The community made it unplayable

240Hz monitor with GSync and I am stuck on <60FPS and glitchy screen

[rain saffron]

Pc ?

[hard thorn]

welcome

[signal frigate]

yes

[rain saffron]

Oh yea ggs

[empty jackal]

just need ea to revert the worst update oat

[rain saffron]

Mostly the players that made it bad

[signal frigate]

This last update didn't fix jack

[chrome juniper]

oh yeah

[drifting solstice]

What is better this year 41212 or 4411/442?

[misty ore]

EA punishes you for having a good pc

[rain saffron]

They need to bring back r1 and the speed of dribbling

Nothing else

The ai stuff is mostly the players

Everyone wants to play double cdm formations and just counter

[versed ocean]

Anyone tried to play on PC today? Is it still massive input delay?

[karmic bramble]

playing rn and its no issues, if you have issues with delay try to play fullscreen instead of boarderless

[versed ocean]

Already tried all of the recommendations I found. Played fullscreen since launch but yesterday it was completely unplayable

[karmic bramble]

amd or nvidia?

[versed ocean]

Nvidia

[karmic bramble]

hmm, i was hoping on amd xD usually just turning off anti lag or framegen solves alot of issues

[versed ocean]

Its just sad haha, Feel like this year is awful with these bugs compared to last year

[karmic bramble]

i get that, i havent got a single issue this year, running everything on ultra with no stutters or input delay

[potent sleet]

This game is awful

[versed ocean]

Starting to assume its just my PC that is going wild but since there is so many others with the same struggles it cant be just my rig right x)

[karmic bramble]

my rig isnt even that good, ive got a ryzen 7 5700X3D with a 7900XTX gpy

[versed ocean]

But yeah chatting with the support atm and according to them they are investigating the problem. Which is good but would've been better if they announced it somewhere so people will calm down

And happy news, they are looking for a compensation aswell ❤️

[sterile vapor]

The gameplay has changed because of the rats in this game, and I know there are some of you here, you deserve nothing

[west flax]

You know that ea support isn't actually ea and they just say stuff to finish the convo right? 😄

[versed ocean]

Oh trust me i know. But all we can do is pray for some kind of compensation right?

[sterile vapor]

We suffer more and more when I had arrived in d1, but the nullardes weepers refused reality and begged Ea to put the old catastrophic game back

[west flax]

Very true

[versed ocean]

I do not believe that the update is because of all the online players, I actually think they are listening to the pro players that where complaining after the FC PRO Open qualification that it was to many goals and it was to hard to defend. Since that they implemented all the bad stuff we had in FC25 to FC26 and pretty much made it the same game again

[west quest]

can i see my opponent skill rating in elite?

[peak marsh]

#revertupdate

This game sucks

[polar vortex]

Bring the old patch back please

Was actually a good game beofre this trash update

All the div 6 players are ruining the game coz they are trash

[opal ingot]

Ppl cant cope with the game being more manual, so they complaining to get the game to do everything for them

[ruby latch]

I think it's more of an issue of being literally incapable of taking the ball from defenders no matter what

Coupled with the fact ppl had low rated defenders on launch

But ea did overcorrect it too much

At the end of the day they'll always favor the game for the majority of the player base , which is more casual

And that's good bc otherwise good players would just make new players leave and you'd have a low population

[steep pawn]

🙌🏻

[foggy stag]

Where’s this reverted patch?

[humble garden]

where is patch? removed gk movement asap!

[plain gulch]

Tbh, id wait for the update on the ICON before doing it just to be on the safe side

[bitter flicker]

When do they restock the store for the promo packs Its been 3 days since i open the promo packs and didn’t restock since

[signal frigate]

Thanks mate 😄

[kindred portal]

why does everyone actually hate keeper movement so much

as if you can't just wait for it and then shoot the opposite way

[lyric ivy]

yeah server down

cant get in too

I legit have better games on higher ping

[brisk pulsar]

So is Ai defending, so is running around with ur cdm

And you get those wins by allowing AI defend for you?

[brisk pulsar]

no im actually good at FC @marsh igloo

[sacred nova]

if u have a lot of time I would rather go for 30 even if the rewards arent good

[ruby latch]

i dont see any new patch

[sacred nova]

which div are u in?

[brisk pulsar]

the 2 losses came to idiots who used 4213 or 451 and sat with there cdms/cms

and trust me they were not good

[empty jackal]

#1431594667828580484 new patch we actually need

[sacred nova]

what formation do u play?

[brisk pulsar]

4411

depends tho

442

i use like 3 formations

[sacred nova]

ok

[brisk pulsar]

sometimes

41212

[sacred nova]

oh hell nah no wingers?

[marsh igloo]

@sacred nova Rivals Div 3

[sacred nova]

send proof

[brisk pulsar]

i rarely use the 41212 tho

[marsh igloo]

Send proof of your 15 wins

[wet oxide]

Guys does any one going with pack luck

[brisk pulsar]

pre patch i did a lot tho

[sacred nova]

I got 12 this week

[marsh igloo]

Send proof

[sacred nova]

how??

[brisk pulsar]

LOL

[marsh igloo]

However way you expected me to send proof

[sacred nova]

I can send u div 1 but I didnt do screenshot of my 12 wins

[sacred nova]

ur 100% div 8

[brisk pulsar]

u cant ss ur champs record since champs is closed

[sacred nova]

just send a screen of ur div rivals progress

[marsh igloo]

LMAO, calling me a moron. Nice.

[sacred nova]

just send screen bro lol were not believing u

[ruby latch]

I'm div 6, it's not that deep, there are all kinds of people from all kinds of divs on fifa, that's how the game is

[marsh igloo]

I'm not only Div 8. I.m Div 20. I know your type. Kind of people who send messages insulting opponents after losing

[brisk pulsar]

Yep

[sacred nova]

ye but he said hes div 3 and I want proof

[ruby latch]

Even if he was div 8, it wouldn't invalidate his views, if anything there's more people in higher leagues, and ea is obviously going to pander to the broader population

[wet oxide]

My pack are horror i didi even get 87 above player

[waxen sand]

There’s defo not more people in higher leagues but otherwise I get your point

[brisk pulsar]

thats the problem with EA

[ruby latch]

There is, that's literally how it works in any ranked game

[brisk pulsar]

they patch there game according to the sh1t fanbase (div4/5+) instead of listening to the good players

[waxen sand]

In any ranked game there’s more people in the middle of the pack than at the top end

Otherwise it wouldn’t be a top 2%

Or top 5%

[sacred nova]

theyre just removing the skill gap imo

[ruby latch]

Yeah. But there's no number in eafc, take league for instance. Challengers are only the top 0.2%

[brisk pulsar]

there is NO skill gap

[ruby latch]

Gold is already top 75%

[sacred nova]

timed finish did take skill and they removed it

[waxen sand]

Elite div is something like top 8%

[brisk pulsar]

a div10 player could be me using 4213 and just holding his cdm

[wet oxide]

The problem with ea is they lesson to the YouTuber and they patch the game acoording to them

[ruby latch]

Meaning 75% of ppl are below that

[ruby latch]

Hm so it's like, a 10% per league I assume

Probably most ppl are div6

[brisk pulsar]

no youtuber complained abt r1 dribbling btw

[waxen sand]

Wouldn’t even say anything exact cause it just depends

Like on clubs there’s far more clubs in div7 or div8 than any other div more a less

[sacred nova]

R1 dribbling was way too op u cant defend that I like the patch tbh

[waxen sand]

On cod there’s way more diamond or plat players than any other rank

[west flax]

To me rivals div just shows how much people have grinded, not necessarily how good they are

[waxen sand]

Pretty much

[west flax]

Until mid-high elite at least

[waxen sand]

Like sure you have to be decent to get into elite but to get to div1 you can lose a ton of games, just win more of them

[ruby latch]

Especially since you can't fall form 6

[sacred nova]

but u do need skill to get there

an average person cant just get div 1

[ruby latch]

I'm sure there's some ppl who are way above 6 but stay there to comfortably get their 30 points a week since the div 5-4 rewards aren't that different

[waxen sand]

You need some skill of course. Problem now is skill is once again being offset by broken mechanic abusing people

[sacred nova]

thats true

[flat storm]

I Got a question about rush guys

[west flax]

Im one of those, just reached elite though so you can't really stay in d4 or whatever without actively deranking

[west flax]

Sup

[flat storm]

why don't we have 1v1 rush matches?

[west flax]

Cuz they'd be boring as hell 😄

[sacred nova]

ye the mates are so bad they should make it skillbased matchmaking

[waxen sand]

I want to play games but rivals just isn’t fun after a certain point

[sacred nova]

like they dont even try most of the time

[ruby latch]

Yeah, a low block Pina upfront fast wingers could just counter again and again and win by pure luck by outrunning your players anytime you get a corner

[ruby latch]

What do you play when you don't play rivals?

[west flax]

That is very much a skill thing though

[waxen sand]

Like if my teams not eligible for one of the live events, all I can do is play rivals so every game every day is just sweaty it’s so boring

[waxen sand]

Champs

Or a live event if it doesn’t involve making new teams or silver players or some dumb shjt

[ruby latch]

Not rly, if all your players are in the box for a corner and you immediately get countered by someone who presses R2 somewhere where they're magically not marked, nothing much you can do

[ruby latch]

Oh yeah but what about when you run out of champs/events

[west flax]

Heavily disagree

[sacred nova]

do yall even have 3 different teams that are good enough to win games? on my rtg I have 1 main team, Im not sure if i could even build a second team with all 84+ rated players

[ruby latch]

Teach me then cause jeez

I take a lot of goals on counters when I have corners

[west flax]

Depends on the situation 😄 but I could! I do coach

[flat storm]

so is gk movement confirmed to be removed

[waxen sand]

Rivals. Cause I want to play FUT and want to use my team but theres no other ways to

[sacred nova]

sry but thast a skill issue

[ruby latch]

Usually I just try to jockey around and stay a bit "passive" with my like, 2 defenders, running back and obstructing so my other players can come back

[sacred nova]

not yet but maybe

[flat storm]

it should be

[sacred nova]

why

[tiny forge]

Fc about to ruin fifa

[waxen sand]

They shouldn’t have buffed defending AND nerf attacking at the same time. It’s totally killed what fun there was in the game

Classic EA do too much

[tiny forge]

Taking dribbling and gk movement watch they gna nerf low driven shots

[ruby latch]

Don't be sorry, if it's a skill issue I'm willing to learn 😄 how do you prevent a counter when you have 1 defender on the way post-corner and inaki Williams is coming full speed ? I feel like that's a 50/50, he might even get a lucky counter off my tackle

Not saying I get a goal scored against me on every corner I take, but let's say, out of the 15 counter attempts per game, one will go through (at least) bc a player will be alone and unmarked somewhere, and have 90 speed with no way for me catching up

[frail plaza]

Who is a good player for 150 k at st or is gyokores good enough

[pulsar walrus]

Switching players is something I hate this year

[ruby latch]

I do GK movement then, but it doesn't always work

[brisk pulsar]

EA at this point should just nerf my thumbs, like ffs

[waxen sand]

Always does. They always turn it into a nerf fest until the games awful then need to rebuff half the stuff they nerfed

[oak mica]

Coop div 5 ?

[sacred nova]

rb and lb should stay behind cause theyre fast and can defend, and after the patch there isnt just 1 player behind, there are about 3 people waiting and staying behind

[ruby latch]

Yeah this too. When I try to switch back to midfielders so my defender doesn't just stop his running animation and it gives me my defender I legit mald

[waxen sand]

Tbf I thought they nerfed that

Make sure your stay back player is ur fastest one

[lean rover]

Tell EA to buff servers

[ruby latch]

Well I wish I could chose that lmao

[sacred nova]

u can change that in tactis

tactics

[waxen sand]

Yeah it seemed smooth to begin with now it’s so bad

[waxen sand]

You can in assignments

[ruby latch]

Yeah, and it is better indeed, but sometimes, say, a midfielder will stay behind (some useless one. Like Lavelle, 5ft2 CAM with 50 defending) and the AI will somehow place her back at her "spot" (mid enemy team midfield) while I don't control her instead of running back 💀

[ruby latch]

Really??

I didn't know that see

[waxen sand]

Yup

[hollow raft]

yo

[ruby latch]

Like sometimes I get a counter and see my team running the opposite way, and I legit wonder if it's a tactics issue

[hollow raft]

you are so bad everybody

[ruby latch]

Yo that's actually good, I'll test that tonight

[waxen sand]

No u

[flat storm]

cuz even if you move keeper they still somehow score

[waxen sand]

Check all your assignments cause it’ll have weird people on the post/staying back etc

[sacred nova]

and if u dont move keeper they stil score tho, and most of the time if u move right he saves it

[ruby latch]

Cause I always felt like me having a corner= conceding a chance for the enemy team (also because I play with girls. So I don't really score headers)

[sacred nova]

who asked you

[waxen sand]

I refuse to use females cause they’re beyond broken

[sacred nova]

which div are u in?

[waxen sand]

Like last year I hate using green time finesse or trivela cause what’s the point

Who

[sacred nova]

u

[waxen sand]

1

[ruby latch]

I didn't play fifa last year tbh

[waxen sand]

Lucky

[ruby latch]

My last one was 21💀

[waxen sand]

You haven’t missed much

[ruby latch]

I got lucky and packed Lavelle, Swanson, Retien in week one and thought aight, I'll play with girls

Never used Pina though

[sacred nova]

ye the game was sooo bad last yera

year

[ruby latch]

I have her but she boils my blood too much for me to use her

[waxen sand]

I’m div1 and still can’t settle on a tactic I like

Been the same for years

I’ve tried every depth and I hate how they all play

[ruby latch]

In fifa21 I was playing 4-1-2-1-2 diamond with good results, but it just doesn't seem good in this one

So I go for 4-1-4-1 (the one with a CDM)

[waxen sand]

The lines always too high at the wrong time, too deep at the wrong time, massive gaps at the wrong time so you have to spam offside trap no matter if you’re on 50 or 95 depth

So bad

[pulsar walrus]

I wanna defend with midfielders because defending with your defenders is awful this year and always switches to cb

[sacred nova]

never touch ur cb this year

its so bad

[austere badger]

is pina that good

[pulsar walrus]

Ik lmao

Can’t do its job

[ruby latch]

Question for div1 players, do you use this thing where you don't control the player with the ball but another one to make a run?

[sacred nova]

yes

[waxen sand]

Yeah it’s awful. I tried closest to ball switching for a while but if you’re not paying full attention all the time it’s easy to get wrong

[ruby latch]

I see it in champs sometimes

[sacred nova]

player lock?

[ruby latch]

Yeah!

[pulsar walrus]

Do you use right stick at all?

[sacred nova]

ye its really good this year to make space

[ruby latch]

Is that a good skill to learn?

[waxen sand]

Player lock? You should but I don’t personally as it’s another gimmick I hate

[waxen sand]

Try to most of the time but only get it right say half the time

[flat storm]

yeah it's common

[pulsar walrus]

My experience aswell

Idk if I’m just rly bad at it or it’s a game issue

[ruby latch]

Right stick doesn't even work half of the time

[pulsar walrus]

Yh lol

[flat storm]

rt switching

[waxen sand]

It’s a bit of both for me

[pulsar walrus]

Yeah that’s fair

[waxen sand]

Most of the time by the time I get the player I want to close the lane the balls long gone

[pulsar walrus]

What div are you @waxen sand

[waxen sand]

1

You?

[ruby latch]

Or when you pick the player they just stop their run 🐒

[austere badger]

Do I use pina lm or st

[pulsar walrus]

3

[waxen sand]

Decent

[ruby latch]

St

[sacred nova]

st

[pulsar walrus]

So you’re good player

[waxen sand]

Not really

[sacred nova]

div 3 is good

[waxen sand]

Concede about 4 a game

[pulsar walrus]

That’s good for the defending in this game

[waxen sand]

It’s not bad yeah

[ruby latch]

What matters is how much you score!

I have plenty of 10-9 matches

[sacred nova]

how many wins do yall get? on average

[pulsar walrus]

Do you guys shield the ball at all (l2 or lt)

[waxen sand]

Not enough half the time. I’ll beat them for xG and lose too many times

[pulsar walrus]

9-6

[waxen sand]

Or lose 5-4, 4-3 etc too often

[pulsar walrus]

Yeah

[ruby latch]

But for me the issue was using girls defenders + goalkeeper, I went home and mixed my team and Jesus, I just won all 4 matches (still div 6, but it feels like I have an actual defense)

[waxen sand]

12

[pulsar walrus]

FIFA 23 was the best I’ve been at any fifa

[ruby latch]

I was only on champs for 2 weeks
Week 1, I got deadase 3
Week 2 9

[pulsar walrus]

The gameplay was decent that year
