Why were the results of the two polls conducted in this discord entirely disregarded in this patch

[ripe heart]

Great question

[desert ice]

Looks like my messages linking the polls are being auto removed, but they are the two polls conducted in the polls channel asking about the state of attacking and state of defending, with the results showing that players were happy with the state of both

[ripe heart]

I thought most votes said defence was good enough

And attacking was not op???

L company should've seen it coming

I understand that it's a relatively small sample and not necessarily representative of the entire community. But I don't understand moving to lower the skill gap by making manual defending stronger AND making AI defending stronger, while making dribbling weaker. There should be a risk/reward element to defending, where making good manual plays is rewarded and making manual mistakes are punished. Buffing jockey speed a bit would have been a fair buff, but this is overkill.

Yeah 70 pace defenders are catching my wingers running sideways with jockey its insane

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.

Now nxt step is finding a way to nerf the fidget spinners so that defenders have a fair n equal opportunity.

Dribbling is still op and the defense is unable to keep up.
Current state only streamers n sweats keep abusing the left stick mechanic and others is interested to play.
