A mechanic that:

  • Makes accurate passes FOR YOU
  • Has no cooldown or requirements (your CB could make a De Bruyne level pass because.. player lock)
  • Invites wing spam/Cut back meta (cause defending is so amazing this year)
  • Makes better passes than the user-passes

The only downside is leaving the ball handler vulnerable, but guess what? The player can quickly cancel it with no repercussions making spam player locks a thing.
Defenders suffer because the pass is incredibly accurate and you can’t just ignore the “fake player locks”.

That fake out is the difference between you getting an interception or making a tackle - so you have to be 50/50 while the attacker can just react - that’s so backwards.

With player switching being so bad, who thought something like this was a good idea for defenders?
What’s the point of creative runs then?

Suggested reworks:

  • A MANDATORY player lock timer (A player lock has to last for a min of 3 sec and can only last for 7 sec for example)
    Reason?

  • This will deter players from spamming it as you’d have to be sure and/or open to want to use it.

  • When you cancel a player lock, a 2/3 second cooldown for the ball handler before you can change direction
    (same reason as above)

  • Make the passes less accurate
    Reason?

  • The passes are legit better than user controller ones.

  • Closest AI defenders chase the ball handler
    Reason?

  • Bro.. if I can’t press the ball because I have to chase the player then my opponent is getting free possession and space. And stupidly enough, R1 doesn’t do anything for you in these scenarios. The closest CPU has to auto press aggressively
    (This is more of a balance thing. Opponent gets OP passing, I get a bull dog to chase you)

Another option is matchmaking.
If I have player lock set to “Off” I should only play players who have the same setting.

I ask you to kindly employ this option for data collection purposes as well. See how the community reacts to that.

A couple of these reworks are terrible, they should probably just get rid of it but at the same time some of the attacking ai runs are so stupid it kind of feels necessary sometimes, ideally they would make attacking ai more competent and just bin off player lock

How dare someone make terrible suggestions for a terrible mechanic gasp😦

“Make AI runs better and bin player lock”..
Someone get the intellectual a Nobel Peace prize cause why didn’t I think of that.

On a real bro, love and all that but you said a whole lotta nothing. That’s obvious.
Make your own suggestions or properly dissect why mine are “terrible” so the devs can get another perspective.

It’s an open thread for anyone to add value, critique my ideas or add their own - I just wanna play a game that isn’t exploited or cheesy.

Yes why didn’t you think off this, it’s obvious and i still didn’t see you mention it.

My bad mate I didn’t realise people had to agree with everything you say so sorry about that I guess that 3rd suggestion is pure genius, very well done!!!!!

In the last line of my first reply there’s a statement I made
“Critique my ideas”.

In my latest reply I said “open discord thread”, guess what that implies😳
And to top it off, learn what a suggestion is by definition.
I don’t want you to agree with me, I want you to add value or critique it. I hope you’re not an adult.

Otherwise, I’m only replying to you so this thread can get boosted but otherwise I think you really ought to read to understand and not to reply “mate”.

I did critique your ideas and you threw a strop (‘some get the intellectual a Nobel peace prize because why didn’t I think of that)which makes no sense because people get Nobel peace prizes for conflict related issues but as you an adult I guess you knew that. But ‘on a real bro all love’😂
