How hard can it be

[glad quarry]

i quit anyway

[proven glen]

Just hit undo 😂

[glad quarry]

since the patch

played 1 WL and i had enough

[violet silo]

they need permission from microsoft and sony to release the update

[proven glen]

I suffered theough

[glad quarry]

the update was so bad it made me quit

[proven glen]

Shouldnt have

[ebon creek]

There's a 100% skill gap and it shows

[violet silo]

looool

[glad quarry]

everyone just ignore @ebon creek

[humble badge]

im playing only for rewards now, no fun in this garbage gameplay

[glad quarry]

just ignore him

[violet silo]

bro ur a pro clubs player we dont care bout ur opinion

d2 pro clubs player in north america ur opinion doesnt matter bro

[ebon creek]

And ima still give it

Elite club thanks for checking

[glad quarry]

why thursday?

[violet silo]

u got bigger problems over there in america bro 💔

[violet silo]

before champs

[glad quarry]

really

[violet silo]

they mostly do it on Tuesday-Thursdays

[glad quarry]

so the update would have lasted a week

not bad

[violet silo]

depends tho i dont think sony/microsoft will let them release the update for another week

[proven glen]

Rewards suck though

[humble badge]

100% they dont change r1 this week, they will watch us suffer for at leats another 1/2weeks

[proven glen]

I went theough champs purely out of addiction

[violet silo]

they changing it on thursday its aight

they realised the “slow power curve” didnt work

[humble badge]

yeah but somehow i need to get fodder

[glad quarry]

@humble badge i hope not

i went from playing 3 hours a day to playing 0

[violet silo]

theres 4 83x10s in gauntlet bro

theres enough fodder

[glad quarry]

thats how bad the patch is

[proven glen]

I feel you

[proven glen]

Ngl

They are cooking me in gauntlet

I cant with the dribbling

Its not only R1

[glad quarry]

yeah ls is bad too

[violet silo]

u have to use 451 or the game is cooked

cant even use 442 or 4411 anymore its so boring

[glad quarry]

this game is fked

you just run back with your striker

defend with your striker in the box

[proven glen]

Sure left stick is not sooo changed but it every touch feels heavy

Every

Single

One

[proven glen]

I use 41212 narrow

[glad quarry]

yeah i wonder if they did a hidden update to ls

[proven glen]

Idk

But i hate it

[humble badge]

yeah i just lost 4-3 to a id1ot who just double pressed didnt touch his CB and spammed through balls, nothing else

[violet silo]

ye u deffo feel the bad dribbling the most then

[proven glen]

Me too

[glad quarry]

jokes on you for playing the game 😄

[humble badge]

🙁

[glad quarry]

if they dont change the update i will sell my account

and get my money back

[proven glen]

Someone passing around the back and then through balls to fast winger

[proven glen]

Horribly

Too much

Messi feels horrible

Putellas as well

[glad helm]

revert the f update ffs i’m div 2 and i can’t win a game to save my life

[proven glen]

Like the touches are just not what inwant to do

All of the sudden something works out and im through but not like inwanted to do that

[glad quarry]

nothing like beating your man and then getting tackled by ai

so fun

[proven glen]

Yeah right

And perfect stand tackles too

Anticipate plus on all ai defenders

[glad quarry]

second man contain a better defender than me

[proven glen]

And if they have relentless

Forget about it

Dont even try

[glad quarry]

funny thing is crouch has technical

so we can r1 with him

lol

[proven glen]

Well hopefully they dont buff R1 and leave the AI defending on

That would absolutely suck

[glad quarry]

i suspect they will

theyll just buff r1

and dnoe

but the good thing is with r1 you can cook ai defenders at least

[ebon creek]

.... lol

[glad quarry]

go away mr pro clubs

[ebon creek]

😂🤣

[proven glen]

😂😂 i dont know why u guys are beefing but its funny

[ebon creek]

Kuz he's trash sir

[proven glen]

Yeah but it sucks so bad

[glad quarry]

im just beefing cuz hes an anti-R1 andy

[proven glen]

Game a week ago was awesome

[ebon creek]

🤣😂🤣😂

[glad quarry]

r1 with yamal (chefs kiss)

yamals price is now 130k

from 260k

[proven glen]

I didnt use him pre patch

I dont play with wingers

Butnincan tell you messi and putellas pre patch were unstoppable

And frenkie de jong

Wow the r1 on hik was awesome

[glad quarry]

Yamal is the best R1 on game

Trust me

[proven glen]

Tiki taka in the middle and then boom dribble past the crappy pressing

[violet silo]

beat his man everytime

[proven glen]

Ill have to try him after they fix r1

Maybe at striker super sub

I just love 41212 narrow

[glad quarry]

Just r1 past their fullback

Works every time

[proven glen]

I believe you ive been cooked by that 😂😂

[glad quarry]

It forces you to switch to that player

If not it just runs past the AI

Which is why I liked it so much

@violet silo I hope it’s by this third

Thurs

If not I shall not be playing champs

[deep jasper]

Well managed to win 3 in a row. Didnt even knew i had so many players😂

But yeah its just defensive Block and like a pinball it goes either to you or youre opponent. Theres no play in this. Fc 25 is haunting us

[brave lava]

I have both him and Salah untradeable

I packed Yamal day 1 but after the latest patch I've had to abuse finesse with Salah cuz attack is so dog

[plucky sky]

#revertupdate - nothing makes me want to turn off the playstation more than defenders being disgustingly strong and AI marking being through the roof. Legit zero space for creativity or excitement. Revert these changes please, the game was in a great state and now it feels so unfun to play

Hello

[north mirage]

We really had the best gameplay in years and now it’s probaly the worst ever. If ea doesn’t remove the changes from this patch and make attacking possible again the game is dead. Never have I put so much time in a fifa game and that’s because I actually enjoyed the gameplay. People are talking about adapting to this new gameplay, but why adapt to a slow and boring gameplay when we actually had fun, fast and responsive gameplay before the patch? Let people adapt to the original gameplay instead of completely taking away the aspects off the game that was actually fun and enjoyable. #removethepatch

[versed frost]

Lads will they actually revert it

Please say they are

I can’t stand the game atm it’s shockingly bad

Revert the defensive AI changes from 1.0.2

You should have to cover defensive gaps manually.

[glad quarry]

Ea look at this

Make r1 great again

[north mirage]

Brother look at the community, it’s outraged. People hate this game now, and that’s because ea took away the ability to move and dribble. It was literally the whole selling point of the trailer they realised? AND PEOPLE LOVED IT. Just because it created a huge skill gap people who loved the slow and exploited gameplay of fc25 started to lose LIKE THEY SHOULD. Everyone would agree that before the patch if u lost a game it was because the other player was better than u. Really can’t say this enough #1431594667828580484 !!!!!!

[little viper]

what more can be said.

preach king

#1431594667828580484

[opaque acorn]

Unfortunately, after the latest updates, attacking has become quite complicated, before the patch it was a completely different game that was much more entertaining

[spice tapir]

#1431594667828580484

[north mirage]

Not only r1 brother but left stick aswell. People that are saying “ohhh but the fidget spinners” they are the people that just couldn’t defend? It’s was so easy to defend against, but it took some time to learn, but people actually have zero patience and just want ai to do the job for dem. It’s ridiculous #1431594667828580484

[glad quarry]

@proven glen

Make r1 great again

Only AI defenders like the patch

They say “it’s real football now”

[north mirage]

Absolutely hate it mate. Put over 120 hours into the game before the patch, don’t even want to play now

[glad quarry]

Same

I quit

[brisk cedar]

Feels like the messed up shooting now as well. First time shots win Henry and they go 5 meters wide lmao

[rich estuary]

if ea don’t ruin the game it’ll be the community

[brisk cedar]

Before I could play 20 games in a row. Now I want to quit after 2

The first touches after the patch are absolutely horrendous. How are you telling me 91 Henry can’t take a touch on a normal side foot pass??

[opaque acorn]

At 10:30 PM on PC it's very nice to play, during the day the game is dead, it's impossible to play

[brisk cedar]

I’m up 2-0 in the 6th minute. Guess what happens after. For 84 min I have 0 passing options and all my passes are going to the feet of his player in a draft final. Cherry on top all my shots to off target as well

[brisk cedar]

#1431594667828580484 #fuckAI

I disagree. The update wasn’t enough. R1 is still OP and jockeying with defenders is way too slow.

[bleak yacht]

It’s SO AI heavy, it’s a joke. The AI constantly steal the ball from you and second man press is FAR too overpowered! It’s such a chore to play now, I absolutely hate it

[proven glen]

I dont enjoy this crap hahahaha

[proven glen]

Amen

[proven glen]

Rage baiting but it works bc this thread will have even more engagement

Wish me luck im about try and play 3 gaunlet games after an 11 hour shift and 2 hour total commute

Lets see how bad i want to throw my controller into the screen after that

[brisk cedar]

I just tried to play 10 games in elite 900 elo. 9 games 451 1 game 41212 and they all had 3 midfielders in the box and didn’t touch the cbs and just spammed driven pass and through balls counter

It’s making me depressed

I lose the ball due to bad touch and 4 AI players circling on me like vultures on an animal carcass. 2 passes and they’re through

How is that supposed to be fun

I get that top divisions are always going to be sweaty but to only play 2 formations in 10 games with everyone playing the same style should tell you the state of this game

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.

[glad quarry]

Keep the dribbling ‘unfun’. Football is all about teamwork, not ball hogging. Nerf secondary press and tackling tho.

[eager lantern]

I think the problem is not "Listening To Community".

EA's commitment to listen to its player base community is a positive gesture.

The problem is, EA are not able (yet) to filter which requests of their player base community urgently needs to be addressed or it's simply "complaints" because they cannot enjoy the core values of FC26 which we have been promised since its first day of promotion and ads day.

The positive thing is that the first day of FC26 has just been released, its original state was superior and great compared to FC25 and its predecessors. I think FC26 original state was fairly equivalent to the experience of joys by FIFA 17.

So the problem is, EA should be more cautious and careful with community base's requests. Not ALL requests are POSITIVE. Just because it's requested by community, doesn't mean it's urgently needed to be addressed as significant patch. @unkempt mason

Look at FC26 current state now, you may have listened to the community, but current state is far less enjoyable compared to its original state because you've changed so much from what you proposed in the beginning.

[hardy shoal]

I can feel you

[misty wraith]

[pastel summit]

Ahh yess, Messi did elastico, rainbow flicks and heel-to-heel among others simultaneously every week to win the ballon d’or, didn’t he?
R1-dribbling? That would be understandable. Then again that would be prime Messi, no ever player did what he could do, unless you think having 4/5 star skills mean that any player can be Messi? Do you think Vinicius is as good as prime Messi? Or is Salah? Antony maybe?

This patch is the closest we’ll ever get to authentic football experience online. Only users without football knowledge and who can’t play without broken mechanics were benefiting from that.

[pastel summit]

It never was close to FIFA 17. Did you even play FIFA 17? As great as dribbling felt, you couldn’t, for your life, skill-spam to win matches. Players were stoppable. This was closest to FIFA 19. A monstrosity.

@unkempt mason claimed to have brought authentic football to the game, and did not have 1 online mode with it. It’s good they’re the closest to it. Nerf that fidget-spinning, tackling and secondary press and it’ll be the best FIFA ever.

[pastel summit]

If you want arcadey bs play FIFA street. This goes both ways. People stopped being interested in FIFAs owing to it getting more arcadey. The cardinal reason FIFA 25 flopped. They baited OG players back, players who omitted FIFA 25, with authentic gameplay, but left them hugely disappointed. This patch is so close to authentic online experience.

What div you in?

There’s no way you’re in elite and don’t play counter football and enjoy this

[rich estuary]

word

[deep jasper]

Lol i just won 4-6 is the old patch back?

[rich estuary]

no

[pastel summit]

2 wins away from Div 1.

[pastel summit]

Haven’t played enough for Elite.

[rich estuary]

d2 is like a walk in the park compared to elite

elite is constant park the bus

counter

trigger runs with wingers

over and over and over

[brisk cedar]

Okay come back here when you get to elite and play 451 10 games in a row. Only counter gameplay with 3 midfielders in the box and you’ll see what this patch has done

[pastel summit]

I wouldn’t know rn! I’ll try to reach it before WL starts. Maybe I’ll join you in moaning then.

[brisk cedar]

Nah don’t

It’s not worth it

[pastel summit]

I see people running around with CDMs but find it easy to just draw them to the wings and it’s cake to beat those CBs from there! Maybe there is huge gap between Div 2 and elite!!

[pastel summit]

🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️

[brisk cedar]

Yes. The issue with elite rn is the 451(2). They have the wingers sitting on par with the fullbacks and 3 midfielders in the lap of the defenders

[deep jasper]

If you play to much its going to be repetitive

[pastel summit]

By tomorrow I’ll know! I’ll chip back in either by your side to moan about it too or… to just taunt you about it being a skill issue?😅

[rich estuary]

not when they have 25depth

[pastel summit]

Let me give it a try, then I’ll comeback with a proper feedback. For me it’s enjoyable now. Maybe in elite I’ll have the same perspective as you do.

[brisk cedar]

Lmao. I win every single draft and people don’t play like that and the game feels semi okay but soon as I go into elite or post 8-0 WL on Friday all hell breaks lose. I’m not saying I shouldn’t play good players it’s just the meta style rn that’s so one dimensional it’s sad. I’m seeing the exact same team and formation and playing style every single game

It’s always Kounde Marquinos Nico Williams Nuno Mendes Pina Vini De Jong

[pastel summit]

I think every formation is beatable. Always thought with the proper tactics, it should be the case. Key word: tactics. Not broken game mechanisms, just tactics.

If I have the same experience as you guys do, I’ll join in on the moaning!

[pastel summit]

Who tf is that Pina? I’ve seen people used her. Didn’t the hype tho?

[fallow fog]

#revertupdate

[rich estuary]

well i’ll be here for ur review, but from my perspective all im seeing is the same constant gameplay with park the bus, counter attack, spam runs with wingers and through ball, it’s repetitive and boring, i want to skill and i can’t because its delayed, everyone has problems but it wont be solved because people want different things it’ll be hard for a balance, im not enjoying the game rn but im winning, i cant break down park the bus with people holding onto either cdms or wingers on defence

i’m being chased by 2nd man press and i have no option but backwards

because my attacking ai is poor and they are just standing between 3 defenders

[pastel summit]

That skill part I disagree! I can agree with 1 formation being wrongfully overpowered. Not skill moves tho. Dribbling is fine as it is. Defending needs a nerf tho!

[rich estuary]

usually i’d be able to get past by skills but it’s an issue that the community think it’s too broken

i don’t spin in circles, i properly skill and use them in perfect timing to get round a player

[pastel summit]

Hate that too. Secondary press and tackles spamming need nerfing!

[rich estuary]

agreed

[rich estuary]

skill moves cannot be nerfed/removed, people can spam the same skill yes, but u can predict that by learning ur opponent

[brisk cedar]

If you find tactics that can easily beat the 451 without so much risk feel free to share it lmao

I’m still looking

[viscid kelp]

The reality of R1 pressing is simply the AI doing for you and then you just switch to the player to tackle the ball

[rich estuary]

😂

tryna break down 451 is impossible

there genuinly is 9 defenders

and then a striker chasing me

u just have to counter and it’s boring

[brisk cedar]

I’ve faced players who plays the ball out for a throw If the counter fails so I can attack and they can counter again

[pastel summit]

Sure!!!

[quasi hedge]

most pros i talk to decided to run 442 to counter 451 and just send a million runs

[pastel summit]

They must. It’s perfect rn. It requires space to be properly executed. With proper team play you can create that space! I don’t it find it difficult to do so….

[rich estuary]

😂😂

[little viper]

game shouldnt have to based around countering a formation 😭

[rich estuary]

that’s so cringe

[little viper]

i feel like fifa players are brainwashed into what a good game acc is

should be fun 🙏

[rich estuary]

but i can’t play possession, if i do it’s just boring because i have to wait 40 mins for an opening against 9 defenders, then i get a message after the game about being boring and holding the ball

if u have possession against 9 defenders in there half, 2 out of 10 times ur gonna actually score

[quasi hedge]

unfortunately thats how the game is since fc24 there is 1 op formation that everyone is running fc24 was 4321, fc25 was 4213 and now we have 451 it’s so dumb

[little viper]

it wasnt pre patch tho bro

although you are right

#1431594667828580484

[quasi hedge]

lmaoooo nah what in the psg haramball

[rich estuary]

psg yk

guys are kicking out for a throw in off kick off

😭😭😭

[quasi hedge]

yh for once pre patch i felt like you could run 2-3 formations and not be at a disadvantage i liked 4411 4231 and 442 pre patch but now everyone is either 451 or 4411 its crazy

[little viper]

thats what im saying

pre patch was refreshing and acc fun

#1431594667828580484 @unkempt mason

[quasi hedge]

i agree with you there were such little complaints pre patch we just wanted a tiny buff to jockey speed and fix kick off and corners the rest was so fun i was losing games conceding 8 and still felt like i had fun trying to get better

now gameplay just feels slow and sluggish idk if thats servers or just the patch messing with the whole flow of the game but it just feels so different deadass just fc25.v2

[little viper]

preach king

game wasnt perfect but it was fun

[north acorn]

#revertupdate

[quasi hedge]

🤝

[versed frost]

Bring back the old update

This new update is for div 6 players who can’t play the game and don’t have a brain

#1431594667828580484

[bronze heron]

Yeah they just reverted it al to fc25 again

[runic minnow]

#revertupdate

[hardy shoal]

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.

[bronze heron]

They need to stop making such big updates that makes the game feel like another game

Oh no

[brisk cedar]

Yup. This game man

[bronze heron]

Pls dont it will be imposible to score everybody keeps ai defending

[little viper]

#1431594667828580484

[north mirage]

#1431594667828580484

[brisk cedar]

Yup i ran 442 both versions 4231 wide 4411 4141 etc but now everyone is playing that stupid formation

[odd hatch]

Bad work EA listening to the community and not just the sweats. Bad update. A step in the wrong direction. But pls fix AI defending next. AI defending is still way too op and unrealistic. Attacking against that is still impossible as it has been nerfed to the ground. Now nxt step is finding a way to boost r1 and LS so that attackers have a fair n equal opportunity.

Defending is still op and the attack is unable to keep up.
Current state only AI timmies n losers who can’t defend R1 keep abusing the second man press and others is interested to play.

[quasi hedge]

don’t interact with that guy bro he’s not here to debate he’s been spamming the same messages trying to ragebait good players cuz he’s in div8

[odd hatch]

I know bro

im laughing too hard because I realized he became a meme here on discord

I just read the exact opposite message and laughed so hard XD

[quasi hedge]

😂😂😂😂 he thinks he’s cooking when he’s just exposing himself we been laughing at him for days now

but yh we can all agree that this patch hasnt changed much in regards to good players I still get 12-14 wins in champs after patch but it’s just so horribly dull and not fun at all

[odd hatch]

I agree, Im winning / losing the same amount, but dribbling and trying to get past these walls of defenders is just boring, plain boring

[safe raft]

I never mentioend skills, you said dribbling gand ball hogging, Messi, especially at a younger age made that his thing, pick it up and just go at teams over and over, its now Yamal's thing

Selfish players are part of football, superstars with the ability to turn a game on its head exist, they dont in fifa now

[odd hatch]

Because the game doesn't allow you to dribble now 🙁 you just pass and pass and pass until you find space

[safe raft]

and when you find space, the AI runs into you and kills you withtout a foul

[brisk cedar]

100%

[safe raft]

elite division rivals is the absolute worst

[quasi hedge]

tiki taka is still fun like that’s always been my playstyle but inside the box i like cooking tackle spammers with left stick and skills and with the AI you cant do that as much anymore

[quasi hedge]

this.

[safe raft]

i havent even done my 15/15 or 30/30 yet, I got to 12 and just gave up, the game is woeful now

[brisk cedar]

I’ve had AI give away 5 pens in my last 9 games

And is anyone else experiencing that the player you control does tackles out of nowhere?

I don’t have it on but my players still do it

I hate it

[quasi hedge]

what i’m experiencing the most is input delay and my players dont register the ball coming to them, like i’ll pass and the player i pass to just ignores the ball I think most of our issues are also server based unfortunately

[brisk cedar]

The AI is way too crazy on bad touches imo.I’m not controlling if my player does a good touch or not and as soon as they do the AI swarmes my player like vultures on an animal carcass. You have 0 time to do anything against the 451 because no space and match that with bad gameplay and input delay and you can’t do anything

The best way to get open rn is glitchy cancels

And just spam weird through balls which shouldn’t go through

[quasi hedge]

100% and i’ve seen twitter squad battle demons ask for skill cancels to be removed🤣

[brisk cedar]

It’s a stupid mechanic to begin with let’s be real

Same with GK movement

[quasi hedge]

I mean it shouldnt be so glitchy but i think it adds a skill gap

[quasi hedge]

same with this it’s a necessary skill gap i hate keeper movement but it’s my fault if i miss i should be more composed in front of goal

[brisk cedar]

I agree it’s hard to do but in reality it’s a stupid mechanic. And the main issue is that you HAVE to do them not that you can do them

[brisk cedar]

I always watch the keeper so it’s fine for me but I still don’t like it lmao

[quasi hedge]

yeah at a high elo you have to skill cancel against AI but i’m ngl i dont struggle to defend skillers and skill cancels i just struggle with fidget spinners which STILL works after the patch😂

[brisk cedar]

The spinning is fine for me but my main issue is that tackling is so glitchy. You can tackle on the ball 50 times and they just get rebound after rebound after rebound

And when you get tackled your player freezes in place for like 2 second and you can’t move / switch

[quasi hedge]

that wasnt the case pre patch tho right? attacker tackle backs and weird bounces were so rare during early access but now with AI defending it’s just a bounce back mess there’s such little control 💀

[brisk cedar]

Yup deffo notice it more and more now. It’s that feeling that no matter what you do this game is gonna make you lose. Wrongly played passes. Weird tackles weird animations. AI being drunk and your players feeling slow

[little viper]

game is so unfun

unplayable

havent played since friday

and i heard its somehow worse than then

#1431594667828580484

[brisk cedar]

It’s worse since 1.1.1 or whatever they released yesterday

[eager lantern]

I was playing for a while today and I played against same typical of players online.

Fidget spinner.

It's boring. I won some matches but it's boring. Couldn't even enjoy the process of the game

[brisk cedar]

Only way to get open post patch

[neat oriole]

Nerf defensive AII

[deep jasper]

At least im not smashing controllers in half like fc 25😂 my wife is happy about 26

[cinder verge]

Ohh but it is fc25 now

[brisk cedar]

Speak for yourself🤣

[tropic cradle]

Or, leave the core game as something enjoyable for all, and let the fidget spinners play in their ‘arcadey’ game dedicated to them, rush

[versed frost]

The game is crap now

Ea need to revert it to be good again

[glad quarry]

every time that bots spams his message

please spam the counter message

LOL

[versed frost]

And need to stop listening to all the div 6 players

[glad quarry]

im in div 5 and i hate the patch LOL

[versed frost]

That’s good then

[glad quarry]

I lose too much because I keep switching to my CBs instead of running back with CDMs

i cant hlpe it

[versed frost]

This update sucks the ai is doing all the work

I’m near falling asleep playing games now

[glad quarry]

you still play games? haha

[versed frost]

#1431594667828580484

[glad quarry]

its so bad it made me quit

[versed frost]

It’s the only game I play lol

[glad quarry]

im not playing till they patch

same

but its just not fun

[versed frost]

I want to quit but idk what else to play

It’s so bad

It was honestly so good before the patch

[glad quarry]

well someone said they will patch it tmrw

[versed frost]

I really hope so mate

Honestly can’t believe how bad the game is

[glad quarry]

i think most pros and youtubers dont like it

[proven glen]

Nobody cares dude, get out of here

[livid onyx]

you forget we are literally playing an ARCADE game, if you want realism play career you donut. You all begged for realism for fc25 and look where that got us

[fierce umbra]

they're only reverting r1 dribbling and removing gk movement i think, no patch on ai

[cinder verge]

Then we riot

[versed frost]

They better fix the game

[deep jasper]

Hahaha. Yeah it slowly coming back with the amount of tackles that just end up with the opponent

[versed frost]

It’s so trash atm bro

[cinder verge]

Don’t care about tweaking. Just blow up the whole patch

[proven glen]

Hopfully remove ai defending

[versed frost]

Ai doing all the work

#1431594667828580484

Can’t believe how badly the game is atm

[deep jasper]

They would fix the connections first before going back to Manuel defending. You cant player switch without them getting lost

[brisk cedar]

The biggest issue is that they for some reason don’t run peer to peer servers so everyone in the match has the same connection

[deep jasper]

Its just spiking in every game. Not always with effect but still it shows on top

[fierce umbra]

just watch the connection before you go into the game bro

[deep jasper]

And still have to wait 1 or 2 seconds before kickoff so its not bugging

[fierce umbra]

i always do that, it works for me

[deep jasper]

I only play below 20 ping mate

[fierce umbra]

same

[deep jasper]

Its not normal to see 100/900 spikes

Well it is but it shouldnt😂

[fierce umbra]

never had that issue since i started watching connection before going in to the game

[deep jasper]

Its not really annoying but ive had like a few moments where i got the input lag

[fierce umbra]

idk if you're on pc, but i don't think ea have fixed pc input delay yet

[deep jasper]

Im just afraid for a next patch. We be dcing again for 5 days straight

[fierce umbra]

i still feel input delay a lot

[deep jasper]

Yeah pc

[fierce umbra]

that could be why

i play on 16 ping stable almost every game

i still feel input delay

[deep jasper]

Did you put everything on low and 60fps?

[fierce umbra]

yup

[deep jasper]

Its the only way for me

[fierce umbra]

it's better 100%, but there's still input delay

[deep jasper]

Pc players have coping lvl over 9000

[fierce umbra]

cus of hackers haha

you learn to live with what you get

[deep jasper]

That to lol

[fierce umbra]

apart from bad patches from ea

when we had such a good fun game

with a skill gap for once

[deep jasper]

It was amazing. Everyone got a glimpse of fast arcady gameplay. And now nobody wants to play this repetitive passing game

[fierce umbra]

only div 6 timmies, who played fc 25 and cus of that ai simulator they thought they were good at the game

[deep jasper]

Yeah they just dont know anything else.

[fierce umbra]

i feel like the amount of bad feedback they've had since the patch, compared to before, it's quite clear which version of fc26 most people like and what people don't like

all we needed was kickoff and corner patch

[deep jasper]

Yeah and lmao i had a squad battle opponent. And they did the corner glitch. Like wtf

[fierce umbra]

same haha

squad battles ai are rats

[deep jasper]

Yeah passing the ball on their half. Because even ai are crybabies

Bad example of how to play

[fierce umbra]

ai are coded to play the meta on high difficulty

just shows how cooked the game is lol

[deep jasper]

Every free kick is top bins

I still need to be a rat in free kicks. I cant score m in this game. Ive hit the crossbar alot

[fierce umbra]

free kicks are like pens for me this year haha

it's too easy

[deep jasper]

How did you learn?

Im just legit missing that objective😂

[fierce umbra]

when you adjust it, make it so it's either outside foot low or inside foot low, and just make it so it's just above that so still inside/outside foot curled not low, and basically give just below full power

[deep jasper]

Even works with bad players?

[fierce umbra]

i have messi haha

deadball playstyle

haven't tried without it

[deep jasper]

I played alot with ajax evo team

They suk

[fierce umbra]

maybe it's the deadball playstyle

[deep jasper]

Need an evo for that

I need some bronze to gold evos

Optimistic to build a evo team hoping the game gets better

[fierce umbra]

i think it will, hopefully at least, they're listening to the community this year, and they should've seen the massive amount of backlash on this patch

ai shouldn't be a thing on a pvp game, just removes the skill gap and point of it being a pvp game

[tropic cradle]

Donut? Yeah maybe. But the game has been its most fun since the patch. Fidget spinners and pace abusers who did well greasing past defenders pre-patch will gripe about it now. So, if an enjoyable game now makes me a donut, then happy days

[fierce umbra]

ai simulator fc is a fun enjoyable game for you? lol

[neat oriole]

Most popular thread in the
Server, if they dont listen I swear...

[fierce umbra]

they have to

[neat oriole]

How is it enjoyable is beyond me

[tropic cradle]

No, the AI needs addressing, sure. Never disputed that. I just think it’s better balanced now, and defenders finally feel like they’re not ghosts. Still work to do, for sure. But much better now

[fierce umbra]

if ai gets patched you will still get spun around by a good player lol

[tropic cradle]

And that’s the way it should be. Ability should give reward from that

[neat oriole]

Yea, nerf ai then we'll have a fun game

[livid onyx]

hardly think we'll have a fun game when EA have taken a huge dump on pc servers and we can't even connect to half of the online modes

only happened post patch as well

defenders never felt like they were ghosts, they were only ghosts if your manual defensive positioning was garbage and you couldn't cover high % passing lanes and shots. But as always 90% of the community need their hand held with everything

[deep jasper]

Its feels slower but smoother for me. Cutscenes are not laggy anymore..it still can vary from game to game

I just need better players in the main team. Still stuck with 84 rb

Only a handfull of playstyles is not helping in attack or defence either

[keen crown]

This game is not playable anymore. what a shame.

[tropic cradle]

Perhaps my defensive positioning is garbage. I play in div 6-7 now, sure. But try and understand that you can’t make a game to be enjoyable for the MAJORITY of players by fine tuning it to be only playable by elite players.

[deep jasper]

You only gonna be elite if you abuse the meta. Thats the biggest issue. Theres always 1 style of playing that is OP. It just makes all these tactics useless

Thats why they only needed to nerf the kickoff and corners

[tropic cradle]

Finally. The voice of reason. 100% agree

But who do we blame? EA for allowing OP tactic abuse? Or the community who follow the darn YouTubers who preach the exploits in their sermons??

[deep jasper]

Yeah because of youtube every game is overengineered in about 1 week. And everyone is following suit

[tropic cradle]

And OP low driven shots. Thats the worst of all. Low-brow automaton attacking. Yawn

[deep jasper]

Yep. Fifa was for me always the unpredictable nature. Seeing goals and plays that make you cheer. Now its just yawn ive seen that goal like 30times before

[tropic cradle]

Exactly

[livid onyx]

i think this whole rhetoric that you're only elite if you abuse a meta is utter garbage, ive gone 15-0 with a silver team before so i find that utterly hard to believe, everyone in elite is a good player there's no mechanic abusing

[tropic cradle]

Cobblers

[deep jasper]

Even FM has more unpredictable plays then this patch😂

[deep jasper]

Allright 90% off elite players

[livid onyx]

i totally agree with this 😆

[deep jasper]

But there are the same skillmoves that where good the past 10 years. Its just if you play this for a 1000hours you might have mastered everything

Just see the amount of "silly" questions that new players are coping with. Its alot if you are new to the game

[tropic cradle]

I don’t mind skill moves against me, because it’s exactly that. But someone passing around the area, fidget spinning and doing the -same- low driven shot, every attack, isn’t skill. Isn’t a game of football, and is just dull

[livid onyx]

the fun side of the game for me is pushing it to it's absolute limits, that's the fun for me. I will concede that i can see how defending may be easier now, but i'm not the minority sharing this view. there is a lot on this side of the fence

[gritty coral]

Just tone down UT and focus on career/clubs that’s what’s breaking the game trying to cater to UT which creates an imbalance for the rest of the other modes

[livid onyx]

the jockey buff was literally a 30-40% increase in speed which was utterly unnessecary in the 1st place, but then to nerf attack was utter overkill

[deep jasper]

Buffed jockey + buffed AI

[tropic cradle]

There is, sure. But I wonder how widespread feeling is about the patch? Is it a bubble of a vocal minority in here? 20 people out of a million people (!???) playing?

[deep jasper]

Ive seen so many people say its garbage and uninstalling

But i guess numbers always keep coming

[livid onyx]

its hard to get a general representation, EA truly look at this discord for a general consensus, the silent types off media its harder to say but twitter seem to be slightly in favour of the patch and reddit seem to be against it majorly

hard to say

[deep jasper]

I just hope the game wont be dead before toty😂

[livid onyx]

i've gone to great lengths to go all over the web to see and it still seems like they hate the patch

and i'm not stuck in an echo chamber

[tropic cradle]

😊

[deep jasper]

Lets just hope they will come with 1.1.3 very soon and its all hallelujah again

Or its only elites left to make vids and play against eachother😂

[pastel summit]

Yamal? The 9 league goals guy? Yeah, he ain’t Messi. Not even close. He is acc trash.

[pastel summit]

I don’t care if you have little football knowledge and don’t enjoy authentic football.

[rich estuary]

are u slow???

why tf would i want slow paced video games in 2025

go play football manager if u want slow football

stop ruining everything for players

go play career mode if u want slow game

no brain on you

why are u tryna act as if this is 2010 and no game is competitive and everyone is a casual

[brisk cedar]

That’s not true. Getting to elite is possible playing other ways but after 900 rating it’s cooked

[rich estuary]

we are in 2025 13 year olds are considered sweats now

[rich estuary]

im elite all i use is skills, not fidget spinning, actual skill combinations, but even that is considered too broken because it takes skill

[brisk cedar]

Game has absolutely gone to poop last patch and since 1.1.2 or whatever we’re on right now it’s even worse. Never experienced more buggy rebounds and tackles before lmao (granted I barely played 24/25 because they were trash). But it’s not normal having to tackle 10 times on the ball to get it

It’s all a random casino generator atm. The person who gets lucky the most with bounces and glitchy stuff wins the game

[rich estuary]

community killing the game

as in casuals

they have too much say

ea need to just stop listening because the casuals are complaining so much

they don’t wanna learn or adapt

they need ai to play for them

[brisk cedar]

I have never seen a competitive game cater so much to the lower skill end part. Imagine if COD, CS, Valorant or any other competitive game did what EA does. All hell would break lose

The fifa franchise is the only franchise I’ve played where people can complain and they tweak the game instead of making you learn how to play

It’s insane

[rich estuary]

ong, it’s like they are expecting to be carried by spending money and expecting there 1m coin cb to just automatically do everything

or they find it realistic because they constantly do park the bus

they need AI to be so so so broken and attacking terrible

then yet again they cry

they get what they want, then cry

[brisk cedar]

Yup. They realised it was actually a skill issue and not a game issue lmao

I’ve seen a lot of the glazers turn around after playing one WL with this patch

It was absolutely horrendous

But now the issue is “counter tactics”. The issue is the patch enabled this gameplay to be the most rewarded. 451 1 depth only counter virtually has 0 downsides and so many upsides

[hardy shoal]

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.

[rich estuary]

everyone jus spams it

so boring

[versed frost]

Hopefully it gets reverted as soon as possible game is so bad atm

[brisk cedar]

EA support is also useless like crazy. They removed the option for chat with support for PC but i managed to get it anyways. 3 emails and 2 chats about a sbc storage but i have where some players show up in the sbc storage instead of the normal storage so i cant use them in game and in every chat and every email they just don’t respond to that and i get some AI response but labelled from a “person”

[deep jasper]

I know skills should be above fidgetspinning. But having to do multiple skillmoves to get in elite is the other side of it. Its not fun and shouldnt be rewarded. Still i know it requiers skill. But it should be about football on the pitch. Not on the streets😂 . In my own country if you try to do fancy tricks irl you just get a knee in the balls lol

[proven glen]

I think we won

I read on twitter update to buff dribbling coming tonight/tommorrow and that its likely to revert the changes

Im not one to believe everything i read online

But im hopful for this one

[deep jasper]

Thats good. Then we dont have to use endless rainbow Flicks to create chances lol

[proven glen]

I choose to believe

@icy shore i hope you enjoy R1 being back ad much as i will

[deep jasper]

And that heel to heel skillmove can go burn. When do you see that ever irl. Looks weird to

[proven glen]

Back to the lobby

[deep jasper]

I hope tommorow. I have all afternoon to play🔥

[brisk cedar]

Which country

[deep jasper]

Netherlands

[proven glen]

@little viper goat

[deep jasper]

If you do a trick you get subbed off

[proven glen]

For keeping this thing going

[deep jasper]

Lets just hope if its True it will be the right choice

[brisk cedar]

Lmao same in Sweden. We don’t have var so some nasty tackles would get put in

[eager lantern]

I just watched my team playing against Koln, which is Bayern Munchen. We won 4-1.

None of them did fidget spinning techniques to cover the ball.

Whenever I see someone's doing fidget spinner, they actually the one without understanding of how football being played.

[tired mica]

Im an elite player and 13/2 WL player. I SWEAR i havent won a game since patch 👍

I cant play at all

[eager lantern]

We "cover" the ball by quick pass and possession. There's no need of spinning, despite the defender tried to rush for the ball.

Just pass to your closest free teammate.

The problem why fidget spinning happened, isn't only the "fidget spinning itself". it's the defender AI also problematic.

[deep jasper]

Yeah defenders were basicly not turning

[eager lantern]

In real life, if someone's doing fidget spinning, somehow professional defender would still be able to takcle the ball.

Because "fidget spinning" is actually making the ball only around your circle. And any professional defenders would easily tackle that since the ball only around your feet.

If that was so effective in real life football, FC Bayern players would just fidget spinning themselves.

PSG players or Madrid players would do this in real life.

[glad quarry]

Oh I see it

[tired mica]

They made defending OP so now its UNBALANCED wake up

[glad quarry]

The update

[deep jasper]

But like i said i see players now doing skillmove into skillmove into skillmove. Its just a bit to much to look at. Also rainbow flick into flying kick is almost a goal everytime

[eager lantern]

@unkempt mason

[glad quarry]

On X there is some news

[glad quarry]

Yeah, IRL dribbling you face your man

Nobody turns away from your man lol

Pause

[eager lantern]

Even skill moves aren't used so often in real life.

[glad quarry]

😂😂

[eager lantern]

It takes milisecond to think about which moves of individual skill moves in high tempo match.

[deep jasper]

No so dribbling or technical dribbling is used much more often

[eager lantern]

You would prefer quick pass or possession based play than individual skill all the times.

[deep jasper]

So that should be actually useable

[glad quarry]

You lost

Loser

Hahaha

[eager lantern]

Yes, it's not for every time but usable when necessary.

But how to make it "timing when necessary"? Simple, make the defenders AI useful and smart again.

[deep jasper]

It should be used to create chances. We only have 2x 6 minutes. Cant be playing possesion the whole time

[eager lantern]

Remove fidget spinning.

And players will use individual skills set at necessary time.

Because if they keep "repeating" the individual skills, actually, it'll be read by AI easily.

And AI defenders would anticipate that moves.

[deep jasper]

You cant really use skillmoves against squad battles

At least not on legendary or above

[eager lantern]

I could play possession based style on 2*6 minutes at the time of EAFC26 original state. @deep jasper

That time, nobody's doing fidget nor too much individual skills.

It was balance.

I had 65% possession without wasting time.

[deep jasper]

Cause it was quicker gameplay.

You actually had a chance to score. Now its just better to keep the ball

[eager lantern]

And that's how it's supposed to be.

[deep jasper]

Lets see if theres a update coming. And if we dont dc after it😆

I dont have high hopes

[eager lantern]

Quick pass, possession, better manoeuvres, quick first sprint.

[deep jasper]

At least we dont have to deal with sprint boosts

Or im just not using it properly

[eager lantern]

The thing I might want to see is, sprint. When all time you have your players move casually without too much sprinting.

When you truly need to sprint, it should be first quick sprint.

[strange forum]

hi

[eager lantern]

Because you have your stamina prepared for such cases.

[strange forum]

r1 coming back

[deep jasper]

Yes and better high press.

[eager lantern]

Unless you're sprinting from 0 to end.

[brisk cedar]

In real life, a defender can’t go sideways at 50 kmh either lmao

[eager lantern]

Then you have no more stamina to sprint.

[eager lantern]

Exactly. That's my criticism too.

[deep jasper]

Just let my team run all out if they stay in their box😂

[eager lantern]

You can only do gegenpressing, if you can manage your defenders or AI defenders with when and why they sprint.

[deep jasper]

Everyone

[eager lantern]

If they sprint always, you won't be able to sprint any longer.

[eager lantern]

Exactly.

There's so much for @unkempt mason to re-patch the current state of FC26.

[deep jasper]

Also is there a way to send everyone forward on a last minute attack?

[eager lantern]

1. Fidget Spinning.
2. Defender AI
3. Sprint.

I think all of these 3 should be reverted back to its default state of FC26's premiere day of release.

[eager lantern]

I have no idea.

I understand EA have been trying to listen to the community. But not all requests of changes = improvements.

Many of them just personal preferences instead of general improvements.

[deep jasper]

And gameplay related. Gameplay is just inconsistent

[eager lantern]

EA should have understood this by looking at the percentages of how many people like or dislike current state of FC26 compared to its original state.

Now it can be seen obviously, especially with social media like Discord.

[icy shore]

I never really had a problem with it before, troglodyte. I was defending it fine.

I just want a fun game to play without abused mechanics and overpowered AI.

[honest quail]

up

[eager lantern]

Weird, EA have CRM (Customer Relationship Management) department for sure, because they are multi billion company,

but seems like unable to read the climate of their own customers.

Are they having decadency or what?)))

[deep jasper]

Everything is just super assisted on competitive mode. Its not hard to pass its not hard to shoot. Only defending was terrible

[eager lantern]

Fidget spinning happens because defenders are too lazy to tackle.

Every time we manually control our defender to tackle the fidget spinner, they will pass to other teammate that's only being covered by AI defenders, because they knew, if they do fidget in front of AI defenders, they won't do anything.

That's the problem.

[proven glen]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Uga boogah

[eager lantern]

So each time we manually move our defender to tackle, just simple, pass to other teammate that's only covered by AI defender, and you'll be safe.

I'd rather have my AI defenders to be as aggressive as when I manually control my defender.

And that supposed to be options for that on tactical management.

[deep jasper]

I dont see anything yet in the tracker.

[brisk cedar]

No I have to spam L1 50 times before my player actually starts a run

[deep jasper]

Might be bs update

[eager lantern]

EA should have known the prevalence of their own Customers through their CRM department, what and why customers do likes and dont's.

[deep jasper]

They only look to the revenue lol. Lots of zeros

[eager lantern]

Not every complaint requires a patch, and not every change represents progress.

[brisk cedar]

The issue is we’re all addicted to fifa and football. And they’ll keep making money. They also make money by flipping the meta because we all need to get new players that are more expensive now

[eager lantern]

Exactly, it's getting to the point of market business techniques of Apple Company.

They will increase their products' prices and suppress as possible their production costs.

That's why nobody's taking care of details.

Classic capitalism.

That happens with Paradox developers too.

Look at Cities Skylines 2.

Compared to their CS1.

And they can't even do anything about it for their own customers.

Now they begin to leave from the game.

[brisk cedar]

Casuals make up the biggest part of FC26 community. They blindly spend money while being bad. If EA lose that side of the community it means so much less money for them. As the non casuals will play either way because that’s how it is. So they won’t lose money on us compared to what they’ll lose on the casuals leaving

[eager lantern]

Truly ironic attitude from big company, but it's supposed to expected.

[viscid falcon]

Guys we won

[eager lantern]

It's reality of being greedy.

[viscid falcon]

The Patch is Most likely gonna be reverted

[eager lantern]

How do you know?

Give us the sources.

[viscid falcon]

Come private

[eager lantern]

No.

[viscid falcon]

@FC26news_

[eager lantern]

Everyone here deserved to know if your claim is true or false.

[viscid falcon]

On x

Very viable source

[eager lantern]

Is that on X?

[viscid falcon]

Yeah

L e a k e r

Some of them started posting about it

That Its gonna Happen in the next 24 hrds

[eager lantern]

I sometimes wonder if some of those EA developers play their own game.

[viscid falcon]

Yeah Its insane

[eager lantern]

And whenever they do patch, would they ask themselves, "This is worse than I imagined and we planned to".

Because they could use their own developers as their own feedbacks.

No need to wait for customers if the patch is truly truly bad.

Or they never played their own game, because they have no time to play ))) only coding.

[viscid falcon]

Yeah whatever, the Technical playstyle is getting useable again

[eager lantern]

"No life".

[viscid falcon]

Bonmati Rised 45k already

[eager lantern]

So both are on extreme sides of the spectrums.

The devs are no life on making games, they don't even try the actual game experiences.

The No Lifers EA FC players keep complaining for their own personal prefences to be implemented.

And this non lifer gamers, have never seen actual real life football.

Now mix these twos spectrums into one game)))

[eager lantern]

Yes.

[eager lantern]

We will see if it's true or only false.

[keen meadow]

Brother forget my personal preference. The game is a football game and you can’t build up an attack and your defenders no matter how good they are stumble against a 5’3 Pina

This is the current fact of the matter and the current state of the game. Revert the update let us be able to play digital football where we can build up and not play park the bus counter. Pina and other players when you shoulder them they should get off the ball. Simple as is

Also fix the pace system in the game. 80 pace players outpacing Hakimi smh

[eager lantern]

I'm still unable to believe the game experiences from FC26 original state to current state we have - it's so radically different.

Feels like two different games.

[brisk cedar]

Said it before. Only big gaming company with a competitive mode that caters towards the less skilful part of the community

[keen meadow]

Game needs to be reverted and devs need to focus on the things that don’t make sense in the game. A 5’3 player should get bodied by a 6’0 defender. Attacking AI should create passing lanes to build up. Players with high pace should be fast. GK movement should be the least of their worries.

[eager lantern]

This is why, whenever I'm done playing FC26 because I see some uneccesary stupidity, I'll just switch to play Arma Reforger.

It's less stressful but keep the competitive and teamplay alive.

[eager lantern]

Exactly, if the opponents have passed defenders, the only thing they could do is to control the GK and that's fair to me.

[keen meadow]

I had to re-learn how to play the game after each update over and over. And I think I speak for everyone here the game was fun to play in the first 2 - 4 weeks.

[eager lantern]

Agreed.

[keen meadow]

I have no shame in admitting I’m not the best but I’m not worst. Im a div 2 player as of now and a 11 win WL. Game is UNPLAYABLE

[keen meadow]

Exactly. GK movement is not as important as the fundamentals of the game

[eager lantern]

Hey @unkempt mason ,

Your company name is actually good, "EA" Electronic Arts.

Arts, shouldn't be placed where greediness is) It's supposed to be enjoyable by most.

[brisk cedar]

Wym I love that 77 pace Saliba is faster than 90 pace Dembele with a head start

It makes so much sense

[stuck island]

That's dda bro, can't get away from it

[brisk cedar]

No it’s the stupid Lenthy controlled explosive dog poo mechanic

[keen meadow]

With a head start bro I get it

But without a head start it shouldn’t be the case

[eager lantern]

They can't even distinguish which one is priority, secondary, tertiary.

[brisk cedar]

I meant Dembele has a head start😂

[eager lantern]

Something's wrong with their management of solving problems.

[keen meadow]

🤣🤣🤣

[eager lantern]

I wonder how they're being raised....

[keen meadow]

Idk man game is unplayable for me. Also add to all I’ve said above the biggest issue for all previous football titles from EA - Inconsistent Gameplay

[eager lantern]

Or maybe they aren't taught to understand which one is primary, secondary, tertiary. Based on chronological order of urgency.

Multibillion company without consistency.

[keen meadow]

They just shouldn’t touch the game like they did. All they had to do was one thing. Increase jockey speed and man mark kick off. That’s it. No more no less

[brisk cedar]

It’s even worse living in south of Sweden. The nearest “dedicated” server is 800km away

[keen meadow]

Damn

I’m speaking from a 6 ping avg game

And even there I feel it

[brisk cedar]

As soon as I play someone from any other European country I play with a disadvantage from the start

[brisk cedar]

I have 1000/1000 internet but the lowest I’ve seen is 18

[keen meadow]

I have same speed but I avg a 6 ping per game usually

[eager lantern]

EA servers aren't great either. But that's the least thing I'll criticise about.

[keen meadow]

Servers are closer to men

[eager lantern]

I prefer how they're doing with this game first.

Servers could be done later stage.

[keen meadow]

Listen you can’t get everything you want and I’m cool with it. But at least make the game good and the server they take care of it when they can

[brisk cedar]

They shut down the Swedish one couple of years ago😭

[keen meadow]

Already eliminate the issues step by step

[eager lantern]

If the game base itself is good and consistent, we could still enjoy playing the game regardless the server minor delays or moderate pings.

[keen meadow]

I’m guessing the Switzerland one is still on hehehe

[eager lantern]

I sometimes play with 50's ping.

And I'm fine with it.

But when 50 ping against fidget spinner.

That's it.

I left the game.

[brisk cedar]

Maybe they thought it was one country and removed the Swedish one🤣

You know how Americans are

[keen meadow]

Yep 🤣

[eager lantern]

My common ping during match is around 12-18 ms.

[keen meadow]

Ill stick to bf6 until they fix this game

[eager lantern]

And that's great especially at the original state of FC26.

[brisk cedar]

I also checked the path it routes me to the EA servers and on high loads it routes me through London on the way to Amsterdam servers…..

[eager lantern]

EA servers and VPN are alike.

[keen meadow]

Unplayable for me. Can’t create chances if my life depended on it, no passing lanes, players don’t play like they should

[brisk cedar]

Which adds packet loss. Jitter etc. AND fc26 engine handles those REALLY bad

[keen meadow]

I really hope ea are reading this chat

[eager lantern]

Let alone that, you haven't mentioned input delays))

[brisk cedar]

Don’t get me started

[keen meadow]

Even that is okay. Just fix the base of the game

The rest is you can work your way around

We’ve been doing it for almost a decade

[eager lantern]

Input delays > Base Game Ruined by Patch > Servers delays.

I can tolerate the Input Delays and Servers Delays.

But the Base Game? This cannot be tolerated.

[keen meadow]

We learned to tolerate it all these years so it’s cool

[eager lantern]

I paid for the base game, not for the servers.

[keen meadow]

But make the game playable

Even for the casual players idk how they play this game

[eager lantern]

Try Arma Reforger, you might enjoy it)

[brisk cedar]

L2 and circle spam

[eager lantern]

On Arma Reforger, L2 is to aiming through scope.

[keen meadow]

Is it a arma 3 base game?

[eager lantern]

Circle is to crouch or prone.

[keen meadow]

Need to look it up

[eager lantern]

It's Arma Reforger, it its own version.

They use newer latest engine. Enfusion Engine.

[keen meadow]

Very interesting - skimmed through a yt video real quick

Is it a BR ?

[eager lantern]

The community base is big.

[brisk cedar]

Guys

[eager lantern]

What is "BR"?

[brisk cedar]

R1 is back

[keen meadow]

Battle royale

[keen meadow]

Huh?

[eager lantern]

It's not Battle Royale. It's like Arma 3 if you're asking for the mode.

[keen meadow]

Say less I will get it on steam

[eager lantern]

I sometimes don't understand "R1" label amongst the FC26 base.

Because I use R1 for sprint.

R2 for finese shot

[eager lantern]

Yeah, and it's full of mods too.

[brisk cedar]

They’ve restored controlled sprint dribbling

[eager lantern]

I always play in SpearHead servers.

[brisk cedar]

To almost the same as pre patch

[keen meadow]

How do you know ? They made an announcement?

[eager lantern]

Where do you know?

[brisk cedar]

What control scheme is you on💀

[keen meadow]

Sounds good I’ll give it a try

[brisk cedar]

Their twitter

[eager lantern]

Custom.

[quasi hedge]

they are reverting the patch slowly WW

[keen meadow]

Ah yes just saw

[eager lantern]

Circle for lob pass, Triangle for through pass, X for ground pass, Square for finishing.

[brisk cedar]

Nearly the same speed.

[keen meadow]

Now please revert attacking ai

[eager lantern]

R1 is for sprinting, R2 for finese shot

L1 for player modifier.

[keen meadow]

Passing lanes need to be opened

[eager lantern]

L2 for, I forget what the name.

[brisk cedar]

I also use square for finishing

Makes more sense for some reason

[eager lantern]

So what does it mean to be "R1"?

[keen meadow]

You used to be a pes player?

[eager lantern]

R1 back? What is it? Sprinting is back?

[keen meadow]

Man of culture I see

[brisk cedar]

EA X statement:

We've been following your feedback closely, and today we've restored Controlled Sprint Dribbling to nearly the same speed as before FC 26 v1.1.0.

We're doing this through the second Live Tuning Update, please close and re-launch the game once you the see the notice in-game.

nearly

I’m scared

[eager lantern]

Yes, I started playing very beginning of football game on Winning Eleven.

It was on PlayStation 2.

[brisk cedar]

R2 for u

[brisk cedar]

Actually from NHL back in the day

[eager lantern]

Ah control is back.

[keen meadow]

PES was the game until 2011. After that when fifa 12 came out it killed pes

[eager lantern]

I am wondering, what's the difference between driblling with L1 and "R1"?

I see L1 can also be agile too.

[keen meadow]

L1 is super close and slow and always facing the opponent goal

R1 you know what it is

Agile was r2 and l2 back in the day

[eager lantern]

Yes, I rarely use L1 and I might use it at wrong time.

[brisk cedar]

Press it to stop in the box. Really useful

[eager lantern]

I recently try to mix L1 and R1 "R2 for me".

[keen meadow]

Watch crouch rise in price now

[brisk cedar]

I bought Bonmati yesterday

[keen meadow]

Fake shot stop more effective truss me

[eager lantern]

I see, I'll try that tips.

[keen meadow]

Stonks

[neat oriole]

Hey guys, how's the R1 now?

[brisk cedar]

With bad gameplay my player does some fuhhass animation with that tho😭

[brisk cedar]

I’m getting on to try

[keen meadow]

Please tell me how passing lanes are

[eager lantern]

Where did you see the announcement EA said to revert?

I want to see.

[stuck island]

Just me that hasn't had the notice in game?

[neat oriole]

Lemme know

[keen meadow]

Ping me after you try it please

[neat oriole]

Ty

First step, next is to nerf AI defense

[keen meadow]

X account @easfcdirect

[neat oriole]

Although they said they are looking closely at feedback for the gk movement, imo they will nerf it not remove it

[brisk cedar]

On X

[eager lantern]

Never mind, I see it.

We've been following your feedback closely, and today we've restored Controlled Sprint Dribbling to nearly the same speed as before FC 26 v1.1.0.

[keen jay]

W

[acoustic quarry]

Wwwww

Wwwww

[brisk cedar]

Will do

[eager lantern]

Will that help reducing fidget spinner?

Update here if you feel the repatch changed the game for better.

[brisk cedar]

@neat oriole @keen meadow feels sooo much better

Now you can actually progress the ball through the middle and be responsive

Even with players that don’t have tech +

Common #1431594667828580484 W!

[north mirage]

Actually don’t feel much of a difference. U can use r1 for about 1 sec before it starts with the heavy touches. Man ea just remove everything u changed about dribbling in the patch…
