The new patch

[tranquil comet]

Hi EA after the new patch R1 dribbling and touches has been completely ruined and ruins the fun and the smooth fast gameplay. It was perfect before you nerfed it. The jockey update is good but the R1 nerfing was not needed. Please make it better again for the next patch thanks!

[queen oxide]

It wasn't perfect, learn to play football ball instead of abusing r1 u kid

[buoyant stream]

learn to defend div 10 player

[queen oxide]

I'm probably in a higher division than you but guess who's laughing last you rat 🤣🤣 cry more

Idiat yutes!

[buoyant stream]

you're in elite++? the new one?

[queen oxide]

Yes?

Where are you?

[buoyant stream]

keep playing challengers

[queen oxide]

Lol

Noobs keep spamming and abusing the game

Donkeys

[fringe maple]

This myno guy is terrified he's going to be demoted to div 6 because they took his Pina away 🤣

[buoyant stream]

noobs like you ruin the game every year cuz u can't defend

[buoyant stream]

pina is still op as before?

[queen oxide]

🤣🤣🤣

Listen to me kid, if all you do is abuse the mechanics then you're garbage

You ain't good

Learn to use your brain

[buoyant stream]

pls dont talk div 10 player

learn to adapt

and practice defending

[queen oxide]

Hes a kid y'all, ignore him

[buoyant stream]

mate the only reason youre happy with the patch is because you couldn't defend and thats a fact

attacking was perfectly fine, all we it needed was a little jockey buff and kick offs fix

[queen oxide]

I'm actually defending really good, the difference between me and you is that watch football and there's nothing 'football' about that fidget spinning nonsense

Play football

[buoyant stream]

it's a game you da

[tranquil comet]

I play tiki taka fast football and in div 3 nearly div 2. The R1 dribbling now is horrendous. There is no fun neither is there any skill gap now cuz games gonna be 1-0 and 1-1

Enjoy playing boring games in el

[queen oxide]

Very good

[buoyant stream]

hes in div 10, he doesn't know about it

it's fine

[tranquil comet]

True

[queen oxide]

I'm a skiller, the only thing that should be op is skilling. Average rats think they're good cause they abuse a mechanic

Go play efootball

[tranquil comet]

I use R1 and skills a lot so No R1 dribbling makes skills slower too

[queen oxide]

Enjoy div 8 'mates' ✌🏾

[tranquil comet]

Bro Can Only hate cuz he cant defend

[queen oxide]

Lol enjoy

[tranquil comet]

“Enjoy” no I wont enjoy the game now cuz its slow and useless. The skill gap is smaller now

If they improved jockey and AI only it would be perfect

And kick off and corners

[queen oxide]

The skiller gab is bigger, if you can't play you're crab

Crap*

[tranquil comet]

No its smaller this new update helps the average player that cant follow cuz they cant dribble or skill

Cuz now its only based off Counter and passing and haram Ball

[harsh sable]

Is the fact that fidget spinner is killed good? Yes, because that is not football anymore. The real problem is related with overpowered AI defending. If rats would be forced to defend manually, I can guarantee that there will be enough space to destroy them. But with the way how people are now abusing AI defense make you feel that you need this fidget spiner. AI DEFENDING IS KILLING THIS GAME

[brittle topaz]

Didn't like the patch
The attack has become very slow, dribbling has become slow.

They should fix Ai defending it's too over powered

[void drift]

It's hilarious to watch the desperation of those who can only win by exploiting bugs and broken game mechanics. Play soccer now, kids, play thinking, using your brain, that's all.

[queen oxide]

🤣🤣 the funny thing is that they all come outside exposing themselves and crying.

YOU ALL HAVE A BRAIN USE IT! the fact you have to cry about a mechanic you kept abusing shows me that you shouldn't be playing a football game

Go to fornite

Go to COD, leave!

[void drift]

It's hilarious to watch these kids cry.

They just want broken mechanics so they can use them and win without using their brains.

[young needle]

^^^ this

[queen oxide]

I blame ea for letting these kids abuse this things in the first place, Fifa used to be good, now it's being dominated by fornite kids who know nothing about football.

Skilling should be the only thing that should be somewhat op because it takes brains and skills to do it. Not spamming R1 like the rodents you are 🤣

[tranquil comet]

I agree with ppl who overuse it and just doing Fidget spinners all game. I hate it too but the way they nerfed it is too much. They need to find a balance. Cuz its not useable now

[queen oxide]

Skill

[tranquil comet]

I Can still attack and score good goals after this patch but R1 completely useless

[queen oxide]

That's good to hear brother

[tranquil comet]

Doesnt change the fact r1 should be improved in the next patch

[queen oxide]

It shouldnt, burn it

[tranquil comet]

🤣🤣

[queen oxide]

If we didn't have brain-dead community that feeds off broken mechanics then sure. But ea should remove anything that can be abused.

[tranquil comet]

Well by that Logic they should nerf defending and AI

After the new patch

And passing

[umbral crypt]

R1 dribbling and touches has been completely ruined

Good

[gusty mica]

Patch is perfect EA they just have to learn to attack

[fringe maple]

they have to put their pina in the bin and try something else

[autumn comet]

patch is very bad and non elite players shouldnt have an opinion

if you cant rank 1 you have no saying in this

[minor isle]

Bring back dribbling

[young needle]

Non elite players shouldn’t have an opinion????
Jees, so my purchase of FIFA for the last decade has no value? Thanks man. I appreciate your consideration

[plain jasper]

All that was needed - kick off and corner patch

Cooking r1 has ruined the game

[fringe maple]

Do you realise how dumb this statement is.

[plain jasper]

Watch the drop back cdm holding dogs become unstoppable

[minor isle]

The jockey buff is fine idk why they touched dribbling

[gusty mica]

Lucky I am d1 and elite on my main😂patch is amazing

[plain jasper]

The way to break down ai rats was to r1 dribble

[minor isle]

Exactly

[plain jasper]

I just played 7 elite games and it was cdm holding rats running back to the 6yard with their cam

Warra game

No r1 against those players no party

[minor isle]

Game gone

Bring back dribbling

[plain jasper]

1 month of fun … and it’s all over

[gusty mica]

Pass around , use some skill moves you can break them down easily

[minor isle]

How about the ppl who don’t do skill?

[plain jasper]

Do able? Yes. Easy? Not in the slightest. Fun? Don’t get me started

[median cosmos]

EA is always like that, they don't nerf, they destroy

[plain jasper]

R1 nerf was not needed

Stupid

[minor isle]

Very stupid

[autumn comet]

bru shut up if 90% of the people are saying its bad who are you to say its good😪

[gusty mica]

I used it only in the pockets between cb and fullback so patch doesn’t affect me

[autumn comet]

R1 dribbling was a way to break some of these cdm holding kids

[median cosmos]

Exactly

[plain jasper]

Yep

Ah well cant wait to grind out 2-1 wins against the ai dogs now instead of 6-1

[autumn comet]

im in elite with 950 skill rating and im telling you my musiala and yamal are as good as any gold player with no tech plus

[umbral crypt]

Probably got rank 1 by fidget spinning and Pina on the front

[fringe maple]

Nobody cares

[gusty mica]

If you are elite div you can’t be one dimensional you will find other ways to attack

[median cosmos]

R1 gone but AI defending is still a thing, we are so cooked lol

[plain jasper]

Do u realise that Pina is even more effective u idiots

[autumn comet]

then noone cares about your opinion you div 3 merchant

[tranquil comet]

Yep well now tech is useless playstyle

[autumn comet]

just get better

[gusty mica]

Yeah tech is nerfed I agree

[fringe maple]

🤣

[plain jasper]

Pina wasn’t used to r1

She is spin and low driven

[median cosmos]

Doesn't make sense to have it as a playstyle if it does nothing

[plain jasper]

That is still broken

[young needle]

This ^^^

[autumn comet]

yes

[gusty mica]

But relying your whole attack on tech + is crazy 😂😂

[tranquil comet]

Then nerf women agility and low driven not R1 dribbling

[autumn comet]

and that isnt really broken if you know how to defend

[fringe maple]

When you rizz the ladies do you tell her your skill rating.

[autumn comet]

your so cringe

cornball

women are just more agile so ofc everyone will abuse

spinning

[tranquil comet]

Exactly just nerf their agility

[autumn comet]

i dont think they need a nerf

since there weaker

[plain jasper]

And as for a comment I saw before if you’re not in elite or a 14-15 win player your opinion holds little to no weight

[tranquil comet]

Better than nerfing R1

[autumn comet]

ofc

[plain jasper]

Everyone in div 2 and below are it here copping 8 goals a game in wl cause ur garbage defenders

[late oasis]

Nobody is in uproar. Stop pushing your agenda.
It had become fidget spinner FC 26.
The defending wasnerfed to the ground. Please make defending equally powerful compared to attackers.
Game was an unrealistic goal fest for skill and pace abusers as defending was severely nerfed

[plain jasper]

Now u get ur wish 2-1 haram ball ai games

[autumn comet]

this is a w take

[plain jasper]

Have fun u idiots

[autumn comet]

but like dribbling is bad

[fringe maple]

If you dislike the new patch that much have you considered uninstalling.

[young needle]

💯

[minor isle]

Then play what ?

[autumn comet]

are you gonna pay back our money 🥀

[violet crescent]

Ironic coming from a div 6 player

[autumn comet]

we paid out of our own pockets

and this fifa is about the user so we get to say what we want

and if you dont like it just shut up

[tranquil comet]

@autumn comet ykb

[clever sentinel]

all you monkeys who cant defend and relies on AI defending and calling this patch a W. You all need to go die. low skill players

[umbral crypt]

Both OP R1 dribbling and CDM holding shouldn't exist at all, because Timmies will abuse either if any of them are slightly OP.
If the only solution is getting rid of both then yeah, do it.

[median cosmos]

Tbh R1 dribbling never made any sense
It was just about sliding on the pitch because Hypermotion engine is broken

I'm glad if it goes away but if it does then cdm holding should also be nerfed to the ground with AI defendinf

g

And making attacking runs better

[umbral crypt]

Yeah exactly, if anything R1 dribbling should be exclusive to players who R1 dribble irl only (Messi, Musiala, etc...)

[inland gust]

OP r1 dribbling made sense in 24 because it was introduced there and EA needed people to get accustomed to it, it got slowly nerfed down

[umbral crypt]

And knowing EA they won't do everything at once, but doing things in multiple is better than doing f all

[inland gust]

If you do everything at once it's going to be hard to measure the impact of what had more or less effect, and if it was a good effect or not

[median cosmos]

But they don't slide on the pitch either
It's just abusing FC broken engine by keeping the ball close while sliding on the pitch, I never liked it

[heavy meadow]

just players with the technical PS would do, because no tech ps vs tech ps feels the same now

[median cosmos]

Look, fair play to EA they're trying to do something
It's hard to move between so many controversial opinions, they are most likely confused

[umbral crypt]

The sliding/skating thing won't go until they change the engine all together.

[umbral crypt]

Yeah, esp Tech+

[median cosmos]

I'm all in for agile dribbling controlling the ball closely and precisely like Messi or Musiala but most just use it to go on a straight line sliding onto the pitch and more rarely by actually using it as intended

[median cosmos]

Oh ik

Frick Hypermotion

[heavy meadow]

yeah fr, that's why this nerf is really disappointing for those who use it normally as intended

[umbral crypt]

Me too but that's the point, Timmies never use things as intended so I would rather them nerfing it to the ground than seeing a timmy gluing his finger to R1 for 90 mins esp with AI defending bs and Manual Defending not being rewarding.

[median cosmos]

Tbh I only played sb for now and noticed how cpu seems to be much more prone to low blocks and noticed how my Vitinha R1 is completely useless

They're right, the playstyle feels like it isn't there
It's the same as not having it

[slender dune]

but by changing r1 dribbling timmys now def with their dms and hold r2 with them for 90 mins id rather have an unbalanced attacking game than defensive game

[umbral crypt]

That should be next, as it is the "Elephant in the room"

[slender dune]

I just think you can’t balance it completely anyways they’re just gonna make the game worse with each patch the game wasnt perfect but fine

Theres always gonna be something broken

[umbral crypt]

Yeah it wasn't perfect but first week was the best FC we had in a while

[ember sentinel]

mfs complaining about players turning into antony as soon as they recieve the ball and now ppl are complaining that dribblinig feels too slow smh

[heavy meadow]

agreed, i feel like players who weren't able to adapt fast enough are the ones who complained the most and that lead to worse changes

[half anvil]

This is a step in the right direction. Good update.

The next step is finding a way to combat the low block counter players.

The dribbling is responsive and the jockey is able to keep up, tackles feel more precise, the passing even feels a tad more authentic yet still nice and quick.

It's just having to play through these walls of AI defenders is not enjoyable at all and they should be put back to how they were during the early access week.

[slender dune]

Tbh this patch is also to blame on ea it’s when patching the game u dont nerf one thing and buff the other in this merit

Why not just buff jockey and see how the gameplay changes

[heavy meadow]

dribbling feels fine, it's the R1/RB dribbling that's gone bad

[slender dune]

And it wasn’t even a problem imo

The r1 Dribbling isn’t the reason so many ppl are unhappy with defending

[heavy meadow]

u can still do a million spins around the box like before but u can't really drive into spaces with players anymore like how players irl do with Musiala and such

[heavy meadow]

exactly

i don't think i ever saw anyone actually complain about R1 dribbling being an issue

[slender dune]

That’s why I doesn’t understand people bashing one for not liking this patch calling you a rat for spinning that literally not r1 dribbling

[heavy meadow]

i think at most they should've only nerfed players without tech ps and left the rest alone

but they've ruined tech and tech+ too

[vale socket]

hello can anyone confirm if they fixed the controller issues in the latest patch?

[heavy meadow]

nope they got worse for me

[vale socket]

yikes

[slender dune]

Scream could’ve been such a good time this year

[vale socket]

yup..

[late oasis]

💯% agreed.

This is a step in the right direction. Good update. But EA please fix fidget spinners next.

However the fidget sppining is still way too op and unrealistic. Defending against that is still impossible as defending has been nerfed to the ground.

The next step is finding a way to nerf the fidget spinners so that defenders have a fair and equal opportunity.

The dribbling is still op responsive and the jockey is unable to keep up.
In this current state only streamers and pros keep abusing the left stick mechanic and nobody else is interested to play.

[tranquil comet]

R1 dribbling and left stick turning around is not the same but those in the community with 0 IQ wants r1 dribbling done cuz they Think it Will make fidget spinners mad but to do that you have to nerf agility on women but with this community you cant expect anything

[uncut lagoon]

Why are you mad that r1 dribbling is nerfed it was op no one said that r1 dribbling is related to the fidget spinners i think jockey buffed will kinda deal with fidget spinner because now you can actually keep up with the speed of the spinning

[tranquil comet]

Because R1 dribbling was great before and a part of the game now its ruined. You take lukaku touches when u use it

[uncut lagoon]

Overall i think it's a great patch r1 dribbling had no business being that good from the start

[uneven finch]

if u can't deffend r1 ur simply cheeks at the game

[uncut lagoon]

You can totally play a full game without touching it

Why do you need r1 dribbling

To glide between defenders like a snake ?

Against easy players that can't switch fast

[uneven finch]

the game required skill pre this patch and now its just a buncha timmies running arround with theyre 3 dm formation playing a full 90 minute just for a game to end 0-0 you lot just need to learn to play

[tranquil comet]

Agreed

[uncut lagoon]

You can easily break down the defense

[uneven finch]

thank you.

[uncut lagoon]

And score a lot of goals

With out r1 dribbling

[tranquil comet]

If you play in small gaps, fast and smooth you cant use R1 now and you have to play Counter haram Ball now to win

[dapper zinc]

The timmies are happy because the game has been brought to their skill level

[tranquil comet]

Ive played 5 rivals games in div 3 since the new update and I can tell you Its hard to score lmaooo

No skill gap

[uncut lagoon]

You can get players with high dribbling stats

And play in tight spaces

With only left stick

[uneven finch]

nah its as simple as .
casual players who weren't good thought the game was broken because they were too used to the a.i doing most of the work for them in fc 25. and now everyone whos actually good at the game and has been playing and developing his skills for a while has to suffer against a player that started the game 2 weeks ago because the A.i does everything for them

[tranquil comet]

Only 2 games I lost was cuz of 2 haram Counter players waiting with their 10 players defending behind the Ball

[uncut lagoon]

Ai doesn't do everything !

It's not like 25

[tranquil comet]

Its closer to fc25 than 26

Now

[uncut lagoon]

Let's play a friendly game and I'll show you that it's not that hard to score

[uneven finch]

im div 2 and i've literally played arround 6 games and 3 of them ended at 1-0

[tranquil comet]

Thanks for ruining the game. Hopefully ea sees the problem now

[uncut lagoon]

Using the right players and fast tempo

[tranquil comet]

Yeah the games are Max 3-4 goals in my games and I normally win every game in div 3-4

[tranquil comet]

I do and I play with tiki taka Barca players past and present but its still hard without r1 cuz its a part of the game

[uneven finch]

there is nothing wrong with the game in ea's eyes now . they catered it towards the more casual players and thats obviously where theyre making money so they have no reason to change it back

[tranquil comet]

Well many ppl complain so Hopefully they change it

[uneven finch]

ay man atleast battlefield 6 released

i'll be playing that till further notice

[tranquil comet]

😭😭

[uncut lagoon]

Did you like kick offsm

And corners?

[uneven finch]

no

[uncut lagoon]

Because the 5-4

And the bs

Came of that

[tranquil comet]

Only corner and kick off fixing was needed in the patch

[uncut lagoon]

So when a game ends in 1-0 sayd that you can't attack

[uneven finch]

they couldve fixed kick offs and corners without killing r1 dribbling and buffing the hell outta deffending

[uncut lagoon]

If you need kick off and corners to score

[tranquil comet]

Exactly

[uncut lagoon]

I still sxore from kick offs

[tranquil comet]

Most dont but its good its fixed

[uncut lagoon]

They buffed jockey because the left stick is crazy

Compared to the speed of the jockey

You couldn't keep up

[tranquil comet]

Yeah I understand that but dont nerf dribbling as well

[uncut lagoon]

R1 dribbling

I don't care about much tbh

[tranquil comet]

You dont double nerf

[uncut lagoon]

Just pass the ball

Till you find the net

And dribble with left stick

[tranquil comet]

Its nothing about passing the Ball or not its about finding space. Now there is no space to find. Its sad

[uneven finch]

they couldve buffed the jockey without killing the r1

[tranquil comet]

Yes

But a double nerf is needed somehow🤣🤣

[uncut lagoon]

You don't need to abuse gimmick mechanics to score like technical

[uneven finch]

exactly now the player controls 1 dm and the a.i controls the rest of the backline and closes down every bit of space u create

[uncut lagoon]

R1 was glitchy

[uneven finch]

yeah fries bro

[uncut lagoon]

The defenders acted like they didn't know how to walk when a 5"5 woman get past by him

[uneven finch]

just admit the R1 skill gap was too big for you to learn how to do it or how to defffend it

[uncut lagoon]

?

Learn what

Holding r1

Lol

Or switching fast to tackle with a circle

I'm playing this game since 2015 i assure you i can do that

[tranquil comet]

No it wasnt it was perfect. You could make it 10-20% worse and its good too but making it 100% worse is ridiculous

[uncut lagoon]

Technical/R1 dribbling combined with kick off was just crazy

[uneven finch]

again they couldve fixed all that stuff without fully killing r1

[uncut lagoon]

If you really like the r1 dribbling find a player with technical plus

[tranquil comet]

Yes but kick off killed now

[uneven finch]

i got musiala

hes fully useless now

[tranquil comet]

Yeah

[uneven finch]

i dropped him for wirtz

[tranquil comet]

I sold lamine 1 day before the new patch

I knew it would come

[uncut lagoon]

Go watch how pros play

[uneven finch]

cold lol his price almost halfed

[uncut lagoon]

I'm sure they never abuse r1

Because they wouldn't even be able to against other pros

[tranquil comet]

Yeah bought him on day 1 for 355k lmao but now I got almost 2 mil chilling in the bank

[uncut lagoon]

R1 dribbling worked on people that only switched to 1 player

[tranquil comet]

I guess yeah I Think r1 dribbling was the way to realistically and fairly get to Spaces and chances without being easy but actually took skill now thats gone its just haram Counter and pray

[uneven finch]

i've lost 50k on musiala since i've packed him 2 weeks ago its obvious they were jsut slowly killing r1 update by update

[uncut lagoon]

That's the only good use of it

[tranquil comet]

Yeah sadly

[uncut lagoon]

Spaces is a kick off issues

If they were to leave r1 as it was

And they fixed kick off and jockey

R1 wouldn't be that good any ways

R1 was abused in the box

To glitch defenders

[tranquil comet]

No? Its nothing about kick off

[uncut lagoon]

It pulled defenders

[tranquil comet]

You dont understand R1 cuz u dont use it its okay maybe somebody can explain to you

[uncut lagoon]

Yiu couldn't tackle it physically somehow

[tranquil comet]

You Defo could but it takes skill

[uncut lagoon]

That's actually bs

Because i know I'm pretty good at timing my physical tackles

What i mean by physical tackle is the x in advanced defending

[mighty comet]

honestly if they dont fix this in a matter of a week im done playing this sucky game

from what we had to this really blows so damn hard its insane

div 1 in 25 and div 1 now. I can confirm that i absolutely despise 25 to the point it feels like a halucination for a year. they continue that crap the game will fully die this year.

idk if the supportive community to this patch is ragebaiting or gone ill cause no way in hell they find any realism to this other than 1-0 every game when you get 10 attempts and still cant score...

[mortal wyvern]

Get rid of this patch its so bad

[mighty comet]

i think in a week we will know what ea does. if they dont do a major fix or a reverse patch. we having fc25 for another year and most likley the end of fc completly

[vivid whale]

people who like this patch should play authentic gameplay, my games are being decided by random bounce backs and not by skill, just like in the last 2 games

[mighty comet]

issue is AI prevents great decision making when attacking. its a way to give the opponent chances, if you ever realized when you make the perfect decision and immedialty th ebackline tracks to you just know its the AI. this community is so weak

[fringe maple]

🤣 its not happening, the game was already 40% off in October because people had stopped playing and quit because they were fed up of the no defence / R1 fidgetspinning so they have fixed the issue and now people will start playing again if your in the minority that are reliant in abusing r1 then your in trouble

[tranquil comet]

R1 and fidget spinning aint the same. Its left stick dribbling. Know the difference

[late oasis]

Exactly

[mighty comet]

Fidgetspinning? People find some random excuse when they cant track back and stay patient when defending. My debinha with 88 dribbling cant even turn around for her life. Dribbling around the players should count as a way better decision making compared to a single ball through and ai dont do jack.

[gloomy mica]

Ye Like people Talk here dont even know the diff between fidget and r1

[mighty comet]

People cryjng over getting scoreboards 3-3 by halftime cant understand your playing matches like 10+ times a day! Your suppose to have that satisfaction. People comparing to real games like it dont takes actual 90 minutes for the game and its like 1 match for the whole day

[gloomy mica]

Thats why we got that Patch they hear on div 10 idiots that cant def

[mighty comet]

Ye dont listen to them, last year we saw how bad it died. They continue this crap its fully done

[tranquil comet]

Agreed

[mental oar]

The nerf on R1 dribbling is annoying why is it when I R1 dribble with Yamal it feels the same as R1 dribbling with Nico Williams and Pajor. Yamal has the PS+ so surely he should still be dribbling the same as before otherwise these PS+ are all bs???

[uneven finch]

bruh

its getting patched and fixed again

thank god

[median cosmos]

Any news?

[late oasis]

Great work EA listening to the community and not just the sweats. Good update. A step in the right direction. But pls fix fidget spinners next.
Fidget sppining is still way too op and unrealistic. Defending against that is still impossible as it has been nerfed to the ground.
