I started noticing a big shift from a few weeks ago
Now everyone has a wall with 6 players
2 CDM 2 CB and LB/RB waiting at the edge of the box
If you try to play possession and open spaces most of times they just recover the ball pinge pass to the striker who’s waiting alone for the ball start to 1-2 pass just pace over the wing cut back and it’s a goal…
It’s really frustrating from someone who most of games as 60+ possession and loses most of games by 1 goal when your opponent all it does is counter runs the wing and cuts back… is this what “football” came to ? What’s the joy in just playing this way ?
It’s so much better when you try to work your way to the goal and create spaces and opportunities not just abusing the same method I really believe the game was far more enjoyable in the early access now it’s fc 24 with a far worse park the bus mentality and OP counters
Just balance this it’s really annoying no skill needed for this type of gameplay just control a CDM wait for the ai defending to recover the ball spam a pass to the striker run the wing and cut back…
FC 26 had pontential just look at what people say about early access
#Park the bus mentality and AI defending

Game is cooked now tbh, every single game is exactly the same. As a possession player you need to pass 300 times and hope that there is a gap by accident

This game at the moment is worse than 25 in my opinion there is 0 space every goal is the same

Yep RN im gonna say there is little to no difference in the gameplay to 25 or Maybe worse bc every goal is literally the same either a cut Back , possesion waiting for a mistake or a low driven
Its very sad cuz i thought this game was the one but everyone lost the hype and almost nobody likes the game anymore
coarse oriole
Yes totally agree
Started off so good but now its fc25 all over again

the start of the game was amazing fast paced gameplay, manual defending, ai defending was useless, super responsive gameplay now in the last days ( after the patch ) the gameplay became ai park the bus simulator and good players are not rewarded anymore because every matchmaking is against a ai defending rat and now the gameplay is super delayed . ai defending + delayed game = break your setup

Where I live the servers are not that bad actually most of games I run into a opponent with like 15-20 ms ping
They patch that since most of times I was running into opponents with 40+ ms ping

That’s sums it up but actually I notice some strange bounces here and there back but not as bad as fc25
Not as many tackles from behind as well

Yes the early access was really a joy to play ! Rapid nice passing and creative plays
I believe that this park the bus mentality it’s most because CB don’t have that many pace and don’t catch up so easily against fast players and since everyone doesn’t know how to manually defend it’s easier just to put a wall out back sitting and waiting…

They need to change the entire tactics system. They can start by disabling the counter, deep and aggressive options from the tactics page. Those 3 settings even when not used together are pretty much AI assistance compared to balanced, high, or short pass. There's absolutely no reason why the depth should go any lower than 45 or higher than 70.
Forcing everyone on balanced, limiting the line height range and adjusting a few player roles would make the game much more playable.
