#I'm sure it's been mentioned in here before, but seriously every single goal is a low driven.

We are in a game where a card that at face value before people realised how good low driven shots were was sitting at 8k on the market and has risen 525% before she went out of packs. You're being forced to give every single promo card and gold card low-driven silver because otherwise THEY WOULDN'T BE USED... is this not a tell ???
Every single goal scored by pros during ladder was a low driven, every single goal scored in champs is a low driven. Fix it! This paired with left stick dribbling is not on, you cannot have low driven shots so overpowered in a game where gaining 2 yards of space is doable by any joe playing. The whole point of removing green timed shooting was to go back to the old way of low driven shooting as it was good last game. We were told it was nerfed, however my keeper is letting in goals from impossible angles with low driven shots. I've seen countless others experiencing the same thing.

Pick your poison, make low driven shots easier saved by keepers, make them less accurate.

yes

Low driven NEEDS to be nerfed, Just played a dude who kept low dirving it outside the box and weird angles and he scored EVERY SINGLE one of them. Shots at my gk but goes through the legs. there is just no skill

personally i think every other aspect in the game is actually at a perfect balance right now, buff to bruiser has made defending a lot easier

#

every game is a goal fest but the problem is only people scoring low drivens when it isn't deserved

You want to nerf every mechanic to score goal? What do you want? 1 -0 matches? Cmon! The only thing they need to nerf is their AI assistance. That's why this game has became a PTB and counter attack meta. Bc players select their dm and are not punished for not player switch. There must be mechanics to be OP in order the beat that. First week of the game I barely score low drivens. The game was so good that you could pick the way you want to score. But EA always listen to their casual player base and give as much as AI assistance they need to defend. Sad

I don't think the first week of the game is comparable, players don't know the meta, don't know the best players, don't know the how to defend. The game was a goal fest with any type of goal.

The problem isn't that people are using their dms to defend, in truth when i come against an opponent who does that I know i'm winning the game. Manual switching on defence is the big difference in skill gap this year (objectively even bad players kinda know how to attack to an OK level this year), reading the play and switching before the best possible passes are made. Give your opponent low % chances. Any pro would tell you the same. It's a game of chess this year more than last.

The issue arrises when these low% chances from slim angles, longer distance (edge of the box, defenders covering kind of positions) goals end up going in because low drivens are broken.

Maybe asking too much as in previous years we've had worse issues like the finesse and trivela meta. But also when people are scoring goals by playing corners short and scoring a header back post still. That's objectively another goalkeeper problem.

#

The fix isn't to make defending easier as that just removes the big skill gap (which now they've buffed manual defending anyway)

#

it's to buff goalkeeper animations slightly to make saves more likely from the goals people are spamming. Improve goalkeeper intelligence on back post crosses unless the keeper has been manually pulled out. The literal only two changes

#

in a 1 on 1 there's no issue with low drivens, or a high% chance in the box going far post with a low driven has a lot of realism. But those aren't the majority of the goals at all

Exactly
There's plenty of ways to score this year, I've scored in every way, even headers are finally viable

#

But this particular mechanic of the low driven being insanely OP is stupid, it shouldn't be like this
