Very good patch

[maiden gulch]

Now improve servers that we can get consistent responsive gameplay. In the mud, delay are a big problem.
Every game feels different cause of servers. Playing at daytime is the worst. All players move like trucks.

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.

I feel like the patch removes a bit of the skill gap ngl

I understand a defending buff but you can't then nerf attacking at the same time, you have one or the other

[floral ledge]

i still disconnecting every game

any updates on that?

[oak lion]

But the players didnt move like trucks pre patch.

I don't understand how you people think Ai defending (playing) instead of you is a good thing. If you can't defend you should be punished with a goal. if someone is better than you, guess what ? you should lose and not complain cuz he's better

[gilded pumice]

95 percent of my losses pre patch were to guys that were better than me, now, I feel like I can lose any game just cause a guy sits back in a formation with DMs and hits me on the counter

[rapid rampart]

Lol crying coz you lose to someone who is good at defense

Get good and learn to defend instead of crying over defending being improved a little bit

[oak lion]

So the meta should be low depth CDM defending?

[gilded pumice]

I am very capable of defending, but when I'm instantly in a 3v2 cause I'm trying to score a goal, which is like the main objective of football, I'm at a bit of a disadvantage

[gilded pumice]

Literally, people are asking for like 6 shots a game and 3 of them to be goals

Can't wait for a good amount of 1 goal games again, against people that I would've beaten by 7 pre patch

[heavy basin]

If people like the patch then they need to get better at the game, dribbling is non existent now and all u can do is park the bus and counter. Awful patch

[gilded pumice]

I genuinely don't see a skill gap atm

[tribal gazelle]

all the players who enjoy this patch are the ones who holds their cdm s all game and let the ai defening and r1 press to the job

[heavy basin]

Exactly I’m Div 2 I played my Div 7 friend last night and got destroyed from counters

[gilded pumice]

So we are in a counter attack meta again?

[oak lion]

Agreed. And if those players tell med to get good at the game, its like okay, I can sit back aswell with a 4–2-3-1, 30 depth and go for counters. That will win me games, but I aint having fun

[rapid rampart]

Main objective of football is to win bro

Not to score goals

[unique pebble]

Main objective of a game is to actually play. Main objective of a game is to have fun

[tribal gazelle]

man it s a game 😭 you have to enjoy the game not to play like it s real

get a job

[heavy basin]

It’s not football it’s fifa 😭 it’s an Arcady game not a realistic one, if you want a realistic game play pes

[gilded pumice]

How do you win exactly?

[tribal gazelle]

ai defending and r1 press i am sure

[oak lion]

Or career mode 🙂 the game was advertised with authentic gameplay in those modes

[gilded pumice]

Cause I'm 99 percent sure you need to score to win

[rapid rampart]

You just need to score more than your opponent to win

Not 9-6 or xyz

[unique pebble]

If you let Ai defend for you, you're not playing bots are playing for you, and playing counters 24/7 is low skill and no fun

[unique pebble]

You must be real fun in real life

[gilded pumice]

So, yes you need to score, meaning that is the literal objective

[oak lion]

😂👍

[rapid rampart]

So you are saying all games are draws now? Just pushing any possible reasoning to further your agenda.
Good players are still scoring loads of goals by playing normal football

Learn to attack instead of relying on a broken mechanic

[gilded pumice]

I'm only playing against guys that sit back and counter all game, when there's 7 people in the box, it's a bit difficult to break down mate.

[gilded pumice]

And no, I'm saying the way you win is by scoring more than your opponent, however ik you're ragebaiting at this point cause if you ain't, you must be genuinely braindead

[oak lion]

You are talking about winning games. Playing football. And the most effective way to win games in this videogame right now, is to do what everyone else is doing. Pushing your depth all the way back, defend with CDM and let AI do the rest while you wait for a counter.
