Thank you for listening to the community and recognizing what was really breaking the game. Don't listen to players with failed pro player syndrome.

Soap football is over, you weaklings! 🫵🤣

strange wharf
#

Why should defending not take any skill?

drowsy ferry
#

👎

wispy pine
#

It takes skill and is consistent now ,why should scoring take no skill and feel unrewarding like before patch . Best patch ever released thanks ea !!! Let the abusers that don’t play football cry

strange wharf
#

How does it take skill to just control your 6 while the ai does the rest???

hazy oak
strange wharf
#

Exactly

#

Before the patch if you couldn't defend you just lost

hazy oak
#

Exactly

#

I Defo played better before cuz the game was more responsible and gave the outcome I deserved

strange wharf
#

But instead of trying to learn to defend these people only cried.
Talking about "realistic football"

hazy oak
#

If I was better at attacking and defending I win games. Now its just pray and inshallah

#

The new patch is more realistic but also passing aint realistic if im real

#

Dribbling is too realistic maybe actually not even realistic atp

wispy pine
#

Sorry this is not water polo and half the goals were kick offs , corners and glitched mechanics that defenders couldn’t keep up . Now you have to play football and is hard 😂

strange wharf
hazy oak
#

Yeah

#

😭😭

#

Casuals Think left stick dribbling and R1 dribbling is the same. The IQ of this community is seriously ridiculous

strange wharf
#

Most probably dont even use L2 to defend

#

And complain

hazy oak
#

Yep

wispy pine
#

Left stick is fine you can counter it with jockey now , r1 was glitching the defenders

#

You are the casual apparently wanting easy goals by abusing non defendable mechanics

#

If you are a high level player you have other 5 ways to attack at least

nova quail
#

Dribbling still works very well. What you did with R1 wasn't dribbling; you just want a way to win without trying.

wispy pine
#

Exactly thanks gustavo!

#

I abused it too to get to div -1 but I am happy is gone

Learn to read bro

#

Ai defending

wispy pine
#

Ai defending is the same

strange wharf
#

Sure bro

wispy pine
#

Patch didn’t touch it , just more visible the cdm tactic

strange wharf
#

You all just sit there with your DM while the ai does the work for you and think you're good at defending

#

The second defending took some skill you complained

wispy pine
#

I manually high press go find another guy that plays like that I use 4141 high press

#

Defending was not working properly, couldn’t shoulder challenge, couldn’t track ,tackling range too short

copper forge
wispy pine
strange wharf
#

Tackling range was fine, you just needed to use your brain and predict

wispy pine
#

Yeah I am bad 👊🏼

strange wharf
#

Slide tackles also worked really well

#

If you used them at the right time

copper forge
#

Defending was fine, you just needed to position your players

wispy pine
#

If you slide tackle you already had a made a mistake before

strange wharf
#

So much Fun!

wispy pine
#

Predict you mean be passive and wait for to make a mistake, no … I want to play active defending and press them like top teams do

strange wharf
#

This update only rewards those who sit back and counter imo

strange wharf
nova quail

wispy pine
#

No I was a winger /10

strange wharf
#

Wait for a mistake and then take the ball, like with a standing tackle

wispy pine
#

Tell that to guardiola ,klopp , flick they all wait back not high press 🤣

unreal crater
#

Defending was totally fine even two patches ago, now people just bump into your back and its not a foul and you lose the ball. Its completely ridiculous and stupid. Defenders are now more responsive than attackers even in the opponents half and everyone just bumps you left and right, without you having a chance to build up. Bad tackles dont get punished anymore and people just spam like crazy. The game has gone to s... now and only counter and park the bus merchants celebrate this terrible state

strange wharf
wispy pine
#

So you want people to not be able to defend, go play squad battles on professional

Thanks 🙏🏼 ea

strange wharf

#

Tell me, how you couldn't defend before the last two patches?

Everyone was parking the bus before and is now doing it even more. Its terrible and rewards bad gameplay and just letting the AI do the work

#

Guess people that have never seen Elite Div in any Fifa will never understand how absolutely awful this patch is for the high tier divisions. It will make the game totally one dimensional

strange wharf
#

You wont get a straight answer from these people.
They pretend they're gods at this game and that they never make any mistakes, 0 accountability

unreal crater
#

Obviously. FC 25 made them feel like they're decent, which they never were. Now they act like they're good in a one dimensional game again

#

I didnt have any problems with defending or Jockey pre Patch and it was absolutely fine, just needed to get used to it.
Those people dont want to learn, they want handouts and easy gameplay that rewards one dimensional s.... its absolutely awful. People now just Jockey with their CDMs or bump into you with everyone, because the defensive AI automatically closes the gaps. Its terrible

bleak badge
#

I just tried it and yes... one dimensional mess, this is heartbreaking
What a shame
Nerf the goddamn AI defense EA

strange wharf
#

Because of these noobs

unreal crater
#

I was sad when 433 (2) was not good from the beginning, but I accepted it and got used to it, but this is awful and a lie into the face of everyone who actually wanted a skill based game.

bleak badge
#

I too thought the game was fine first week
Surely attacking was OP compared to defense but atleast no automatic bs....
Which is now back

#

What a shame

unreal crater
#

433 formations are dead basically, they killed my whole posession based playstyle. Dum... f...EA

#

Now I have to play this one dimensional s... too, because nothing else works.

#

At this point I just would love a refund system for people like me they screwed over.

unreal crater
#

I saw opponents controlling their cams and their cdms fell back between their cbs without being controlled in Div 1. How's that even possible?

bleak badge
#

By nerfing R1 and buffing manual jockey they only made auto defending even easier

#

Select cdm, insane jockey speed, Dmp, auto cbs

#

Yoohoo

#

How wonderful it is to do a clever skill to get into the space and get stopped by defenders who aren't selected

#

Love it

unreal crater
#

They promised us competitive gameplay, now we have one dimensional gameplay.....

bleak badge
#

It's just boring now

strange wharf
#

Real

#

Rewarding skill moves is no more

#

Smh

unreal crater
#

Isn't it interesting how much of cowards the EA devs are now. They could explain to us why they did that, but they choose to sit at their desks and act like everything is fine. Shameful

copper forge
#

Games gone jockey cdm 7 back warriors win again

unreal crater
#

Skill moves were so balanced tbh

#

Except for 1 or 2

#

But all skill moves felt viable before the patch

#

Nick said the community is at fault, and they are, but EA definitively deserves the hate. They did something we didn't ask for and made defensive AI insanely good and r1 terrible. All the hate they get now is totally deserved

bleak badge
#

Real I was so happy to see skill moves working, I was destroying people with nif cr7

#

He felt somehow usable

#

Now u can't do anything

unreal crater
#

I had so much fun with Matsukubo man

#

Its all gone now

bleak badge
#

Reverse elasticos were exposing so much poor defending

unreal crater
#

Now only 94 Pace strikers work

bleak badge
#

Now the best they can do is concede a counter

#

Lololol

unreal crater
#

Matsukubo has around 80 pace, but she was so good pre patch

#

Now she gets bullied by defenders 2 Meters away, 10 guys in the box, every shot gets ai blocked.... Its just so low skill

bleak badge
#

True, CR7 too with 77 pace didn't matter, skill at the right time, open space, insane finishing
First week/beta gameplay needed minor tweaks

#

Not this

unreal crater
#

I found my own alternative to all the Pina cr... and the guys abusing Dumornay, now my favorite card is dead

bleak badge
#

We should all push for automatic defending to be nerfed
They did seem to listen to the feedback after all
Only way to try and save the game ig

unreal crater
#

Inception, of all people sits there, playing draft and acting like nerfing r1 isn't bad... Dude plays draft. Intentionally avoiding Rivals Elite, because he knows he'd have a tamper tantrum playing the ptb rats

bleak badge
#

Again, if we had more intelligent runs and less cpu I wouldn't mind R1 to be nerfed

#

We would find ways to score anyway in that case

#

From basically anything

#

Left stick is still really good so turning isn't an issue either

unreal crater
#

I dont even care about his opinion anymore. Someone who intentionally avoids the sweaty gameplay, so he doesn't have to rage and then states his opinion has no valuable opinion

#

Playing draft to test a game breaking patch smh

Absolute loser you are

#

Great work EA listening to the community and not just the sweats.

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 sweats keep abusing the left stick mechanic and nobody else is interested to play.

hazy oak
#

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

unreal crater
hazy oak
#

Agreed

#

And left stick dribbling (fidget spinning) that most bad players complain about is still there somehow

#

But the average IQ of FIFA players is horrendously low so they Think its the same as R1 dribbling

polar depot
#

They need to fix left stick dribbling now

hazy oak
#

Its left stick that should be looked at not r1

#

Its a no brainer but for this community its rocket science

unreal crater
#

Nobody even spins in Div 1 and Elite, because the defensive AI suffocates you like crazy

#

The game is one dimensional now.

Parkt the Bus - Counter - Run Into Opponent - Repeat

hazy oak
#

Yeah sadly

unreal crater

#

EA NERF defensive AI plssss

unreal crater
#

Pre Patch everyone had a different formation, now everyone runs a 451 because of the defensive block

#

I swear EA needs to stop listening to the Div 6 warriors for once. Nothing about the attacking mechanics needed to be touched. High skilled players only conceded kick offs and corners (which are still like penalties), so it wasn't a defending problem. It was a problem of people not willing to learn it.
