FUUUUK

[dense dragon]

Not fully but ok

[eager lantern]

Now it feels better to dribble.

[dense dragon]

It’s good

[proven glen]

Ok

Ok

Well take it then?

[eager lantern]

So far it's good. But I haven't met with fidget spinner yet.

[dense dragon]

Yeah , pina is at 35k rn lmao

She went up 20k

I bought her at 9k

[ruby fossil]

its wayyyy better but not 100% exactly like before

[glad quarry]

Pina has fk all to do with r1

These clowns

Broomey says 70% back

[glad quarry]

Have you tried it with a Yamal

[ruby fossil]

i tried with vitinha, its 60-70% like before

[hallow jolt]

wwwwwwwwwwwww

[viscid kelp]

has the live tuning update on dribbling made it great as before or almost as good?

[hallow jolt]

its the same pretty much

dont feel a difference

[viscid kelp]

W THEN

[cinder verge]

Kind of doesn’t matter if the rest of the patch is still in effect. Props for listening about one aspect but it means nothing if the rest stays

[hallow jolt]

it does

now dribbling is on par with defending

[viscid kelp]

I understand your point but at least we got something to fight AI Defending and Jockey

[hallow jolt]

fr

[glad quarry]

Damn

Was hoping back to previous

[viscid kelp]

but I do agree is still ain't enough but at least we got a w on attacking gameplay

[keen meadow]

How’s the passing lanes? You’re able to build up?

[cinder verge]

Hey it’s a step in the right direction but I’m not saying thank you for scraps when we have already had a feast in front of us for the first month of the game

The answer is right there. They had it

[viscid kelp]

100% and the focus of this year game was purely gameplay and they completely forgot the rest.....way below expectations

[hallow jolt]

honestly, gameplay is whats important in a game

thats why old fifas have a good reputation

[viscid kelp]

thats EA for you and the worst part is they do it on purpose...who asked for defensive games?

[viscid kelp]

agree, but they had 1 year to prepare on gameplay and theres still so much issues....yes they hear feedback but the final product is still bad and now they can't deliver 1 good patch

[hallow jolt]

to be honest, they set the bar so low for gameplay that we're happy for what we have right now

but hey, its better than nothing lol

[viscid kelp]

yep

but for a billion company its embarassing but they keep being fed money so why would they bother lol lol

[ashen perch]

revert the flipping update controlled sprinting's not the main problem

[glad quarry]

Played a game before work in rivals

Used Yamal

I’d say it’s like 70% yeah

The problem is the defensive AI is still strong and can barge you off the ball once you beat the man with r1

@proven glen

Feels slower than last time for sure

[fallow fog]

i have a question is dribbling back too or just r1 dribbling ?

[brisk cedar]

First touch is bad but it’s usable

Maybe 60% of the old

[glad quarry]

Dribbling feels more responsive

[dense dragon]

😹

[wind anvil]

best gameplay now

[glad quarry]

Defensive ai is still too strong though

LS drivblign feels better for some reason too

[misty wraith]

I'm in a fever dream guys

[misty wraith]

It's finally decent after the update

[glad quarry]

Not as good as previous for sure though

I guess cuz of defensive AI

[wind anvil]

yea

but its more balanced than without r1 drib

[glad quarry]

Yea ofc

By the way what does composure do for stats

The ice veins Evo

Composure and reactions

[wind anvil]

attacking player or ?

[glad quarry]

Yea

For rutter

[proven glen]

Yoooo

What a day

Ill take an improvement

Injust sold idk how many pinas i bought at 9,600 and made 1.5 mil coins profit while taking a dookie at work

HAHA

waduuuuup

[glad quarry]

where’s that loser bot

[proven glen]

Get that bich

[glad quarry]

Jeez that’s alot of coins

[proven glen]

Hajajajaja

[glad quarry]

You can send me some for supporting r1

Jk

[proven glen]

Hahahahaha

Its been a pleasure gentlemen

[glad quarry]

Jobs not done yet though

Defensive AI is still bad

[proven glen]

@little viper ea for sure saw this thread/comments thingy idk what to call it

[glad quarry]

Too strong

[proven glen]

Good point

Ill stick around

First time using discord

Its kinda cool fosho

[glad quarry]

For some reason LS is smoother

[proven glen]

I just tried it out

So much better

[eager lantern]

Yeah it's better now)

[glad quarry]

@proven glen @little viper maybe we need to make an AI defending thread

R1 is better but AI defending is still too strong

[quartz zenith]

Are you that bad at attacking

Tf you mean ai defending nerf

Games ending at 5,6,7,8 and your annoyed by the ai defending

[glad quarry]

Getting tackled from behind by AI controlled players is not fun

This should never happen

[eager lantern]

For me, AI defending is decent. I lean towards AI defending might need some adjustments when dealing with fidget spinner players.

[rich estuary]

because people track back with there attackers and ai is so broken they intercept everything

[neat oriole]

Nerf AI defending EA

[icy shore]

This doesn't feel all that different to me, results are the same and the meta is unchanged.

It would've probably been better for them to just nerf the AI before increasing controlled sprint speed. This is fun and fast to play but it also just feels like a more jammy version of what I played yesterday.

[quartz zenith]

Guys are we playing different game play?

What division are y'all

In elite div games are finishing at 7,8

[neat oriole]

Guys they only restored r1
did nothing else

We'll have to wait for a serious update

[crystal stag]

we won

[little viper]

yeah thats what im saying

its definitely a win but

[little viper]

this^

its not enough i dont think lets wait for a proper update that addresses more like ai defending

let me know what you lads think of the new update #1431594667828580484

has it made the game playable and fun again?

[quartz zenith]

They actually did wtf

The whole sprinting system is changed

Pina is now acting like prime Bale

[little viper]

no way 😭

[quartz zenith]

With only holding r2 not r1

[little viper]

r2? huh so just sprinting?

[quartz zenith]

They changed something with the rapid play style

Yeah

[little viper]

so does dribbling in general feel smooth again or still clunky and unrewarding?

and has the game improved generally. like is it in a better state now post patch or still way off and unfun unlike pre patch?

[glad quarry]

It feels pre patch with better AI defending basically

[void bane]

Woman simulator again

Get your rodmans back in

[neat oriole]

They didn't nerf nor buff ai
They just restored r1
Idk if they did something else

Regarding sprint

May just be inconsistent gameplay

I'll check

[glad quarry]

They did improve LS

[versed frost]

Gameplay feels nice

Feel like they should lower the ai a bit tho

Too much defending still

But deffo way better now

[little viper]

good alr thats good to hear tho

next we need is ea to get rid of AI defending fs

#1431594667828580484 good work lads

[little viper]

🙏

[little viper]

#1431594667828580484

[neat oriole]

It's good, now we need them to nerf defensive ai

Unsustainable at the moment

[ruby fossil]

wayyyy too much ai defending, last 5 games ive played everyones still just controlling DM’s the whole game

[brisk cedar]

If they don’t nerf the counter tactics with holding cdms only I’m not gonna try to get elite

Just stay in div 1 and have fun.

fun

[sonic crystal]

still clunky. in fact it feels more clunky than before. each update makes game speed slower. i don’t think they optimise each update

[glad quarry]

Feels less sluggish but obv not as good as pre patch

[little viper]

damn

ea are really losing it

[ruby fossil]

just go back to the original patch where everyone was having fun

[little viper]

in a couple weeks it wont even matter what they do bc the game will be unreviveable bc no one will be playing

[little viper]

yep and asap

[brisk cedar]

I don’t think the game devs are actual game devs

[little viper]

#1431594667828580484

[whole harbor]

👍

#1431594667828580484

[glad quarry]

It’s still better than previous though

It’s like pre patch but stronger AI defending basically

[little viper]

ill give it a go 🫣

#1431594667828580484

[ruby fossil]

defo better but still not good, game is still unfun

[little viper]

#1433434049761902715

[ruby fossil]

for me atleast

[ruby fossil]

spot on

spent countless hours perfecting defending which used to actually be a skill before

now just a battle of who can control their DM’s better

[neat oriole]

Huge emphasis on that word

[proven glen]

Yes lets do it

[brisk cedar]

Okay less wanting to let the military experiment on me

lmao

[little viper]

😂

[little viper]

^^

[quartz zenith]

Defensive Ai is already sh*t why would you want it to be nerfed even more lol

[neat oriole]

I... Huh I'm not even gonna comment that

[quartz zenith]

If the defenders aren't controlled you'll literally glide between them what are you talking about defensive ai

[whole harbor]

omg

[quartz zenith]

If you don't switch to your full backs you'll conceed 100 goals from the known through ball st or cam to lw or rw

How is "defensive ai" op at moment and needs a nerf wtf ?

[whole harbor]

if you're having difficulty defending in the current state of the game to the point of thinking the defensive AI is bad, bro...

[quartz zenith]

You should go try fc 25 defensive ai to thank god for what you have rn in fc , 26

[whole harbor]

The fact is that a week ago the game was good, it was just a matter of giving players time to learn the new mechanics and defend better. My defense has never improved as much as it did in this first month. EA didn't even give the community time to learn the new mechanics

Now I don't even need to select my defender, I just have to wait and eventually I'll get possession of the ball

[little viper]

exactly

#1431594667828580484

[wind anvil]

#1431594667828580484

[brisk cedar]

#1431594667828580484

[glad quarry]

Should we do a new thread like #nerfdefensiveAI

[icy shore]

Sure. Hopefully a dev sees it.

[rich estuary]

gameplay is so good since revert

idk if that’s just me

it’s faster, more responsive, skills are responsive, dribbling is way better

[rich estuary]

that is nowhere near true

@quartz zenith one question, what division are you?

[neat oriole]

Mine was sluggish asf today, weird

[brisk cedar]

Okay so you’re complaining that you have to switch defenders in a competitive mode?

That’s like saying I won’t score unless I pass the ball

[brisk cedar]

Me when I lie

[quartz zenith]

Div 2

[quartz zenith]

I'm not complaining I'm good at it im saying this for people that thinks ai defending needs to get nerfed

If you're just switching to only one player you'll get smoked in high elos

And if you can't score against someone that's only switching to one player that's a skill issue not ai defending needing to get nerfed

[odd hatch]

#nerfdefensiveAI

im all in on that

[violet silo]

they will keep it like so they dont lose the casual fanbase

just enjoy the patch and stop asking for things because by TOTY then player lock is gone too

[icy shore]

You think so? I wouldn't mind that. I already had it turned off during early access and I was building up just fine. Too bad that the defensive AI got updated after that and then player lock almost became necessary in some situations.

[brisk cedar]

I play elite every day and people mostly just sit and switch between cdms bro

The very last option in a 1v1 they MIGHT switch to cb or a fullback but what you said just isn’t true.

Defensive AI in terms of interception and aggressiveness on bad touches is still too good. You shouldn’t be rewarded in high Elo for letting the AI do all the work

The main issue is that counter attacks are too good. So the pros far outweigh the cons

If attacking was more rewarding people would be doing it

It’s the fact what you can have 9 players in the box and in 2 seconds have 5 players on the counter that’s messed up

[raw bolt]

Speaking facts bri

Bro

[little viper]

there a thead?

adam only speaks facts

[raw bolt]

Defensive AI promotes not using ur brain to defend, anyone who wants that…

[icy shore]

#1433502687537790976

[normal forge]

#nerfdefensiveAI

[odd hatch]

this is so accurate. I mean if you wanna be defending with 9 players whole match it's ok, but it shouldn't be so damn easy to counter attack with 4 players in like 2 seconds with just 2 passes, it's just super unfair.

[brisk cedar]

There’s a reason most teams IRL don’t play like this

It isn’t rewarding enough

[quartz zenith]

@brisk cedar
I mean, what exactly do you want them to do? That’s literally what everyone’s been doing for years even the pros. It’s called a skill: switching at the right time, with the right speed, intercepting passes, tracking runs, switching to the fullback at the perfect moment. Like… how else do you expect someone to defend?

You’re probably doing the exact same thing, except worse just waiting to counter after they attack you. The difference is, they’re probably better than you either in defending or attacking (or both). I don’t even know what your point is here. Go play Rush or something, spam skill moves past one defender, or R1-dribble through people if that’s your idea of “good gameplay.”

That’s literally the difference between elite players and Division 8 ones Div 8 players just drag out their CBs like they’re playing tag, thinking they’ll somehow tackle you in a game where you can spin around yourself 10 times and still keep 70% possession without being punished.

So yeah, not sure what you really want here. Maybe create a new account, play against your little brother, and feel like a pro.

And if you’re talking about “IRL” football attacking isn’t that OP, sprinting isn’t that good, and Pina shouldn’t be bodying Van Dijk or outrunning Van de Ven like she’s Sonic. Games ending 7–8–9 goals a match aren’t “realistic” they’re just nonsense.

[brisk cedar]

I’m literally higher div than you?

And you’re trying to tell me what good players does and doesn’t do

Do you think sitting back and running around with 1 cdm all game is skill idk what to tell you

I don’t play like that. I play attacking and passing styled football

I don’t run around with DMs on 1 depth and pray my AI does it for me.

[quartz zenith]

I mean, I was literally in Elite like a day ago and I’m Div 1 now, so spare me the “higher div” talk.

[deep jasper]

The game feels no different to me😂

Only ai defending is insane. Since when do they slide tackle intercept on their own

[brisk cedar]

So why are you using “div 8 player” as your argument if we’re the same

Lmao

Also you’re making assumptions based on nothing

[quartz zenith]

Because that's apparently what you wanna face

[unreal forge]

Should just stop changing the fkin game week in week out

Gets worse and worse

[quartz zenith]

Players that pull out their CB's so they can tackle you

Lol

In fc 26

What formation are you playing

[brisk cedar]

Your reading comprehension is worse than a toddlers

No idea talking to you

[deep jasper]

This. People complain about things if they lose. Its never gonna be perfect

[quartz zenith]

How are you in elite Division without actually getting smoked if your actually actually just playing "attacking football"

[deep jasper]

Unless you win 100k in tournament and shusj everyone on stream. Maybe do a few griddys. Then its fun in your own head

[unreal forge]

Game has always been fine just everyone cries, last week imo was the most playable with no one spinning in circles but because all people cry about technical it changes again and again and i play a different game every week

[quartz zenith]

Your probably doing worse than people that park the bus when you're defending

[unreal forge]

And i havent even moaned but when now its every week i change my team and playstyle its fkin annoying cuz of these pros that cry then casuals cry and vice versa

[brisk cedar]

Because I can defend without 9 players in the box. I make good timed tackles. I close down passing lanes and force my opponents into areas that aren’t that dangerous.

[quartz zenith]

If you're not running back with your DMS/ CMS in elite division you'll get smoked like actually you'll get smoked

You'll conceed around 9 goals or something

[quartz zenith]

Uhm

Are you sure ur in elite ?

[deep jasper]

I like goals

[brisk cedar]

I was 930 elo

So yes

You just can’t comprehend that you can be good at this game without abusing every single broken mechanic in the game

[quartz zenith]

You said without 9 so then how many players so you defend with

Let me guess ur playing 4411

Because 9 players is 451

[brisk cedar]

442

[quartz zenith]

So you're defending with 8

442 is the same

Worse than 442(2)

Ur wingers get envolved in defending more

In 442

So ur actually defending with 8 players

And tracking back with 2 STS to cut lanes on cms

[brisk cedar]

What do you get from lying?

[deep jasper]

Who cares about divisions guys. It should be fun to play. No matter who you face.

[quartz zenith]

I wanna play against you I'm so curious

How you're defending

How are you going to defend a cut back ?

With around 5 to 6 attackers

In the box

With out using ur cdms

And wingsrs

[deep jasper]

Like cruyff always said. You have to score more then the opposition

Defending shouldnt be good

[quartz zenith]

All with tiki taka playstyle btw

[brisk cedar]

I’m not saying I don’t use my midfielders. I use the player which is second closest to force the opponent into areas and angles that isn’t dangerous to an immediate threat

[quartz zenith]

So no time for you to tackle either

idk what you face in elite

But that's what's going on

[unreal forge]

I mean if you have good defenders then it should

[odd crane]

#revertupdate

[brisk cedar]

If you place your defenders properly you have time to tackle. If you successfully cut of the passing lanes you can force something

[tepid mortar]

it's just horrible, i totally agree with you @quartz zenith
i went t 900 points on rivals post patch and now i downgraded to the div 3 it's a game with counter without cdms or winger it's just horrible

[deep jasper]

Yeah if you buy like Maldini you expect him to clear some threats. But then it will be pay to win. It will never be perfect for everyone 😂

[tepid mortar]

if you let the IA defend for you, even the can not defend with the DC

tho pro*

[brisk cedar]

I’m sorry but I do not understand what you’re saying

Also. I could’ve been a lot higher in rating if I played like everyone else but to me that’s not fun. I don’t have fun holding L2 with Patri and just running around until my AI intercepts a pass

I understand that it’s more useful and rewarding to play like that but to me it’s boring and dull

[deep jasper]

I really liked the pro tournaments where they all have a certain budget. Choose wisely. Its the problem with FUT its just about making money instead of creating a fun game

[brisk cedar]

Welcome to the real world lmao

[quartz zenith]

Everyone is either playing 442 or 4411 or 451 they'll either counter you with a nasty through ball or just run to the line and make a cut back with tiki taka players and first time finishes so they force you to defend with your DMS if you're not you'll really really get punished by the cut backs

[deep jasper]

Yeah welcome to playing games. It used to be fun. Now its lootboxes everywhere.

[brisk cedar]

Okay imma explain this one last time. So please read. I do defend with cms when applicable. BUT that’s not the only thing I do in defence. And yes the best of the best would smoke me. I’m not saying I’m the best. Each year I play for fun and wether it gets me to elite or div3 doesn’t matter because I want to have fun

[quartz zenith]

Alright then how is nerfing defending ai fix any of this

What will actually happened when ai defending is nerfed

And btw it's the weakest it's been in years

[brisk cedar]

The AI interceptions shouldn’t be as good. If the AI was worse people would be forced to actually switch to the defenders more to manually defend instead of the current style. If the AI was worse and attacking play was more rewarding more people would do it. As soon as your player takes a bad touch the AI swarms with 4 players and take the ball. Defending should be more manual. I don’t want to play people with 451 every game with every player in the box and running around with the striker because there’s not a single passing option

[brisk cedar]

Hence why I haven’t really played fifa since 22

[quartz zenith]

Other problems will arise through balls and double through balls that's already some how broken will be way more broken and everyone is gonna start playing in the middle spinning with CMS and a cam with 4411 and spam l1 to trigger runs and just play a through ball to the player your not tracking 😄

And I don't even wanna know what the score lines sre going to look like tbh

[kind walrus]

And what is a problem with through balls? Did you see Bellingham pass to Mbappe last sunday? Do we really need to stick with one way of scoring goals? Through balls are more natural for football than the way how pinia enjoyers scores now

[quartz zenith]

It's going to get abused

And soon almost everyone will be running 4-4-1-1 or 4-2-1-3, fidget-spinning endlessly until they somehow find an easy through ball. With Bruiser being useless and physical tackles being weak in general, it’s gonna be a disaster.

[kind walrus]

From the start women are beeing abused, fidget spinner is beeing abused, AI defending is beeing abused af. Why we can not allow different style of playing? RN each game is fckng boring, because everything looks the same xD

[quartz zenith]

I'm with you that pina shouldn't be that good st all

[brisk cedar]

Just track the player then?🤣

[quartz zenith]

He'll have more than 4 options

3 attackers 1 cm

With interceptions being nerfed

[brisk cedar]

If every single player is open you’re doing something wrong icl

[quartz zenith]

There's nothing you can do about it

Players will start playing 451 more

To counter it

With 3 cms

To cut passing lanes

Not just to park the bus

[brisk cedar]

1 question. Do you enjoy the current state of fc26?

[quartz zenith]

If interceptions are nerfed even if they're not open it'll go through

Double through balls

Or a normal even

[quartz zenith]

Nah

Sprinting shouldn't be that good

Not talking about r1 dribbling here the normal Sprint

451 players shouldn't be able to counter that easily

[normal forge]

defenders are too quick and good they just always catch up

[brisk cedar]

So exactly what I’ve said all along

[kind walrus]

In perfect world they should kill defensive AI, make MANUAL defending good enough, If people would recognise that they can no longer rely on defensive AI automatically we will have enough space in game to attack whatever we want like drybling or fast tikitaka and there will be a lot of fun

[quartz zenith]

Yeah i agreed on that

But not ai defending getting worse

[brisk cedar]

I’m not saying all round worse I’m saying some things are too op

[normal forge]

Agreed

[brisk cedar]

The AI shouldn’t be able to make tackles

And playstyle plus shouldn’t activate on AI players

[kind walrus]

with each update AI is doing more in difense and this is fckng crazy

[quartz zenith]

You're talking about second man pressing

But that's football

IRL there's 11 players controlling the pitch

How will you defend with just 1 player

They'll abuse skill move or r1 dribbling

Community and rats will find something to break the game

[brisk cedar]

I have no problem with that. All tho I still don’t think AI should do tackles or have the PS+ activate

[quartz zenith]

I think tackles only activate when you press r1 to second man press

Are you using players with incisive playstyle?

I feel like through balls are kinda broken

451 players triggering cms on counter

And having lm and rm wide open

[brisk cedar]

They definitely are. Playstyles as a concept is stupid

[quartz zenith]

And an attacker

So then why do you want ai defending nerfed if interceptions are worse than it's already are rn idk how the game is gonna be played against players that spam through balls

[brisk cedar]

I’ve played some people with Wirtz striker in 451 and all they did was send lm and rm on runs and get the ball to Wirtz and first time 180 degree incisive

[brisk cedar]

More than one thing can be bad at a time

[quartz zenith]

It's so ***

the meta rn is actually so sad

Countering with that through ball to the lm or rm even if you tracked it it still some times go through

And if it didn't he'll sometime if he's good send a through ball to the other winger which isn't going to be offside because you tracked back with your full back

It's ping pong counter counter counter and if you didn't counter fast you'll face 4 defenders 3 cdms they're not cms at sll game is lying they sit in the box and 2 wingers

Against a good defender I think chances are very low to score here

[misty wraith]

Yeah EA has like one job left

[brisk cedar]

I agree. 9 players in the box and spamming through balls isn’t fun

This game isn’t fun

[normal forge]

Tbh about your idea, the last part i found ridiculous, so for example if you are not switched on your wingers they shouldn't run with their Quick Step + ?

[brisk cedar]

I think they should get the normal PS boost just not the + boost

[tepid wigeon]

From first patching the game is gone for good! Completely unplayable!

[normal forge]

No, that’s not a good idea. It’s not about AI, it’s about your whole team. If they do that, basically only the player you’re switched to can play. Might as well say the other ten shouldn’t even move.

[normal forge]

It can be fixed if the community makes up their mind. They’re toying with EA and constantly changing their desires, at some point, it’s their fault to be honest.

[tepid wigeon]

@normal forge I got many videos to show but when I’m posting them in the next second they are kicked out! 😂

[strange forum]

#dontrevertnow

[ashen perch]

did they fix it?

havent played yet

[brisk cedar]

Okay so every player without a PS+ is unusable? How about the players who’s ps+ never gets triggered by AI anyways? Are they useless

Like every player with a shooting or passing ps+

I’d rather get rid of playstyles completely tbh

Such a stupid concept

[normal forge]

Playstyls are a pain in the as indeed

[normal forge]

Are they some random bounce back goal or smth ? 😂

[brisk cedar]

Not only do i need a player with a 90+ stat to do something i need them to have that playstyle AND a ps+ to do it consistently

[normal forge]

For example i literally can not play if my cm's don't have tiki taka, or when i play with cdm's, i need at least one of them to have tiki taka, other wise everything will feel out of control

[brisk cedar]

The only playstyle I think is valid is dead ball

[tepid wigeon]

@normal forge Oh yeah many of them look like they are the same actions ! 😂😂

[normal forge]

But tbh, it’s still better than last year. Imagine last year, Henry would do a speed boost, and you’d have to take the ball off him like nine times because he’d just keep getting it back 🤦🏻

[fallow fog]

guys is only me or what but every match is should have script goals for nothing

[tardy dew]

REvert

asap

[zealous phoenix]

People crying because they can’t get pass defenders even with r1 dribbling. If they remove ai defending then they should remove r1 dribbling as well @unkempt mason

[fallow fog]

ai def powerfull than dribbling

[zealous phoenix]

If you play bit passing ball it’s very easy to break ai defence

[tardy dew]

they cant play passing ball, they can only do r1 spam

[lean crest]

Guys

I think the updates been reverted

[neat oriole]

?

[lean crest]

On my ps4 I'm downloading 1.0.9., i already had the latest update (1.1.0.)

[neat oriole]

That update is already a thing on next gen, besides, the gameplay is much different

[lean crest]

So did it get reverted

Because i just downloaded an older update

[neat oriole]

Idk I'm on next so I can't tell for old

[lean crest]

@neat oriole

Sorry for pinging

It did get reverted

It gave me like those update logs

Said the r1 dribbling is back on the same speed and more

[neat oriole]

Yep that's a live tuning update

[eager lantern]

Anyone's facing FC26 stuttering so bad on PC? Especially when the second half just began?

[brave lava]

The update did not get reverted

They did a live patch buffing controlled sprint again

Personally, the game feels better, but in heavy gameplay it's still woeful

[round crypt]

No, limit fps

[fallow fog]

pls polls for ai def

[tidal bluff]

Fr dude, I can send an extra defender deep and choose one to press with. They can manage to body one and the other will never reach their sprint speed to catch up or will be stuck on their shoulder. Just had a game where I did that from the midline and every other player parted out of the attackers way and the one defender was stuck to his side challenging and didn’t budge him once. Also a larger player w physical stats…Keeper didn’t animate anything and he scored off dribbling a straight line sprint while being shoulder challenged for over 40 yards… and the dynamic difficulty isn’t in play? If I press standing tackle they stomp the ground so in this example I tried to just shoulder them off. The Stomping animation dominates the standing tackle input, it doesn’t shirt pull, it doesn’t shoulder charge or seal out like it used to, manual defending is STUPID nerfed and AI competency is at an all time low. Defense and Keeper animations? What animations rather honestly they are like cones or spectators never reacting with play rarely preserving shape.

Revert this bs

Can’t even move

[neat oriole]

Seriously this is ridicolous, what is the point of playing as of rn
It's just cpu and when the gameplay is inconsistent u can't even move

Smh EA do something

[deep jasper]

Doesnt feel like before at all.

• Gameplay now is mostly heavy. Inputs feel slow.
• Its nearly impossible to play tikki takka like before the 1.1 patch.
• Passes go randomly sometimes.
• AI just moves faster then you can.

My starting 84 squad felt better then this 86es and 88es

[brisk cedar]

Yeah Buddy that works in div 6 where everybody tackle spams and rushes out with the cbs

Counter attacking should simply not be this efficient. Either nerf counters or nerf defensive formations / roles. Not both but either

If you choose to play 9 defenders and one attacker you should be punished in attack. And the other way around

[icy shore]

Defenders grouped up like that should bump into each other and get stuck in little tripping animations. It should be more difficult to stay organized when congested and breaking out from that into a counter should not be as simple as spamming l1 to start forcing runs.

[brisk cedar]

Yes

The thing I get the most frustrated about in this game is sometimes when someone takes the ball of you. Your player gets like frozen into the ground for 1-2 seconds and you can’t even switch player. Especially when they tackle you miss the ball but your player does some weird animation, freezes and they get the ball but no foul

[last wedge]

When people say revert the update now are they talking about the original update that nerfed dribbling or the buff to it afterwards. I’ve seen both. All very confusing

[tribal matrix]

i think they should nerf both the defensive ai and dribbling

r1 shouldn't be as good as it was at the start of the game, and defending can't be left entirely to the defenders controlled by ai while you run around the box with your cdms

[deep jasper]

Defending is almost impossible. Figdet spinners are back. Its not r1 thats the problem. Its left stick spinning. It is defendable but its just annoying to run one way and another and then start spinning😂 defenders are dizzy but after 20 tries you can take the ball

And fouls are non existent it seems. You can just fly tackle anything that moves

This hypermotion is just killing the game. I bet that is why its such bad gameplay. Animation after animation. Why cant we just keep the looks simple and the gameplay good.

Even the script gets confused 💀

[rough zealot]

[signal locust]

@last violet fix input delay

[potent narwhal]

They need to revert the whole patch, the dribbling was too op ok. The game needed a manuel jockey buff, kickoff and corner fix and thats all

[signal locust]

@last violet fix input delay

[potent narwhal]

Now its park the bus counter simulator, the defensive ai is too fkin op

@unkempt mason

Revert back

Its unplayable

I was elite div and now stuck in div 3

[tardy dew]

this game is done. Reverty update before everyone quits

[tardy dew]

well that is def skill issue

[potent narwhal]

Before patch if i lost i wasnt even mad

Now the park the bus counter kids enjoying this glitchy shitt

[potent narwhal]

Every year im elite div brother

The defensive ai is stronger than last year lol

So the bithchkids like u can spend more on this crap

Cuz u think u good

But before patch u cried all day

[wind anvil]

#revertupdate

crap game

[rough zealot]

#revertupdate

Game is dying

[rough zealot]

I was on div 3 and im now stuck in 6.. saved the efforts and uninstalled

Everything i learned in this game through 10 years the tactics and skills can all be countered by one loser who knows how to spin correctly 😂

So at this point no skill is needed
Buy any high dribble player and SPIN

[potent narwhal]

Before patch i could actually play nice football

Now park the bus counter and glitchy mechanics

[rough zealot]

Dumonray
Diani
Pina

[potent narwhal]

Even when i won

[rough zealot]

Everyone follows the meta

[potent narwhal]

I feell like shitt lol

[rough zealot]

No skill or knowledge is needed

[potent narwhal]

Before patch someone beated me i wasnt even angry

Cuz he was better

[rough zealot]

Thats very true

I swear in the last patch every game i lost i said gg

Im getting outplayed

Now im not

[potent narwhal]

Now 10/9 lose is cuz some kid playing park the bus counter and spamming through balls

[rough zealot]

Now im getting spinned

[potent narwhal]

Np for me

In playing fallout4 till next patch

[rough zealot]

I feel bad for the 70 bucks spent on this horrible game

[potent narwhal]

Thats another story yeah

[rough zealot]

I feel terrible for every minute i spent in this childish game

Kids are beating the s*** out of me just because they have diani and dumonray in their team

[potent narwhal]

I swear before patch it was a very fun game

[rough zealot]

Spiiiiiin

[potent narwhal]

And there was actually a skill gap

They buffed defensive ai too bad

[rough zealot]

Fyi many many games died because the devs listens to kids

[potent narwhal]

U dont even need to switch

[rough zealot]

What a waste

[potent narwhal]

The ai get the ball from me randomly behind

[rough zealot]

Yeah i know the scenario

Then he spins inside the box and scores

[potent narwhal]

So now i cant play a fkin tikitaka

[rough zealot]

Woooooow 🤯

[potent narwhal]

Every goal is the same

Counter through balls, spinning, and cutbacks

Run down the line, spin in circles then find a gap and low driven

[rough zealot]

Other than that.. every game is the same

You play one and lose and then the second guy you queue up with plays in the same exact way the last one did

They all have the same mentality

[potent narwhal]

4-5-1 every game

[rough zealot]

Yup

I feel you bro

[potent narwhal]

And only controlling cms

Wont play this until next patch

Only tradeing

[rough zealot]

I play fc since 2013

Every year they ruin it more

[potent narwhal]

Me too

Since 12

Last year was horrible too

[rough zealot]

Football is very simple, they just dont get it

[potent narwhal]

This game before patch

The best game since 4-5years

[rough zealot]

Tap the ball, lol

[potent narwhal]

I swear

And i was having so much fun

I played a lot of matches even when i had the rivals points

Just for fun

[rough zealot]

I have 1 tiny drop of hope that they will listen to us and make the game equal for both fidget spinners and real players like us

This is the last hope for me

If they didn’t goodbye fifa

[potent narwhal]

We will see next patch

[daring wasp]

take women out the game

[potent narwhal]

Idc about women really, i care about playable creative gameplay

[rough zealot]

Dumonray can beat doku just because she’s a meta player

[potent narwhal]

Ofc its a problem

[rough zealot]

If you seen doku in real life he’s a beast

[potent narwhal]

But its small compared to other things

[daring wasp]

women ruined the market

[potent narwhal]

Dont care about pina and the rest

I care about playable gameplay

I dont like women either lol

[rough zealot]

Keep women idgaf but make the game equal and realistic

[potent narwhal]

In a fkin fifa game

My champs was so boring

I went 10-5

Before patch 13-2

And i enjoyed the game

[daring wasp]

before patch i went 11-4

yesterday i went 13-2

[potent narwhal]

This patch is good for bad players atleast

They can spend more money the game

[rough zealot]

I will open one more discussion and call it revert the update everyone who agrees with us please come and type in

#reverttheupdate so they can listen to us

@here

Maybe they will see it and make any change to this misrable update

[potent narwhal]

I think less ppl playing since patches

Atleast i hope

[rough zealot]

Here guys

I cant send the link but you guys go to discussions and you can see mine

Revert the update

[frigid fern]

Revert Live Tuning Update #2

[frigid fern]

Can you send me the link via private message?

[mystic geyser]

Revert AI defenders ffs!!!!!

[rough zealot]

Done

[brisk cedar]

I don’t like the spinning either but with the current jockey speed it’s the only way to score a 1v1 vs the defender. If you watch real life football 1v1 defending is the hardest thing to do almost

Counters is still the most op thing in this game. No way 6 players should get from one box to the other in like 5 seconds and then 5 seconds back again

[rough zealot]

lets all be honest

the gameplay rn is s***

before this patch everything was literally perfect

the game was a 10/10

its as simple as that bring back the previous patch and we all gonna be fine

[neat oriole]

Hypermotion engine is TERRIBLE

First it introduced glitched running styles

Then 4837838 useless animations for online plays that only slowed shi down

[deep jasper]

1.0 was more fun. But that might not be the case anymore. Everyone is just adjusting to the meta. In 1.0 you just couldnt defend the through balls. No matter what you did slide tackle or whatever.

Now probably everyone will be spinning again. They need to stop those glitchy animations. And then the only option is playing football. I dont get why everyone was crying about R1 dribble. You can litteraly not use it at all. But this left stick nonsense is Just killing the game

[glad quarry]

I am quitting the game

Going to sell my account soon

It’s not like pre patch sadly

[void bane]

games the worst state ive ever seen, Favors bad players that just left stick dribble. Honestly eafc25 was miles and clear above this horror state of a game

[languid mesa]

skill issue you are the bad player for not being able to defend

[void bane]

why are pro games finishing 14-14 you clown lmao dont speak if ur clueless

[languid mesa]

you're the one that's clueless lmfao, there was no 14-14 game, scores were like 8-5 7-6 etc + their games are longer therefore obviously more goals. If their games are around those scorelines yours should be 4-2 4-4 5-5 etc unless you're horrid at defending which in your case is 100% true

[void bane]

so you clearly didnt watch any lastnight. Average div9 downy piping up for no reason

[languid mesa]

you're the div 9 caccia vs bonano literally ended 4-2

• longer games

how did they manage to defend so many fidget spinning goals?? please explain

because they're good at defending and you're not, learn the game before you cry Mr 2 wins avg WL

tekkz vs happy 2-2 at 91st min lmfao you have no clue you AI

[void bane]

theyre pros you incel hahaha. Also i know its hard cause youll never get there but in elite div if full of pinas and bonmatis its very boring to see the same thing every game

youll get there one day champ

keep spinning with that pina u dirty dribbler

[languid mesa]

im literally elite you still have no clue lmao

[void bane]

sennd proof mate

[languid mesa]

yeah they're pros good at defending and your horrid at defending just admit it and get better

#1431594667828580484

[round crypt]

it's impossible to defend now. Not a skill problem but DC reactivity. They don't move

[languid mesa]

it's because of the inconsistent gameplay servers have been trash since the very first update, was good on release

[round crypt]

The attackers move

[frigid fern]

Dear EA team, dear community!

The game feels too fast for me after the live tuning update #2.

"Controlled sprint dribbling - R1 dribbling" is very difficult to defend.
Controlled sprint dribbling should be completely reworked / refined!!!

It should only be available to players like Yamal, Musiala, Messi, Vinicius Jr., Ousmane Dembélé, Wirtz, and other dribbling wizards.

The way dribbling is currently dominated in FC 26 has nothing to do with real dribbling.

The current dribbling is too powerful and a weapon that kills the rest of the game.

It's all about who can press the buttons on the controller the fastest and score the most "controlled dribbling - R1 goals".

This is extremely difficult to defend against and often leads to unrealistic results.

Against some players, the "R1 Dribbling" is simply impossible to defend.

EA team, please rework the controlled sprint dribbling (make it less effective!!!) or remove it completely!!!

[languid mesa]

@frigid fern skill issue bud

[icy shore]

#1433502687537790976

[deep jasper]

Remove gameplay😆

[frigid fern]

If that happens, we'll have end results like in basketball or handball.

[obsidian stump]

This is what i don’t understand, are you playing the game? Like bro ai is even more op then last year and you can’t defend?!?! That sounds like a you problem. R1 dribbling is dead you can’t turn or even do what you want to do. By what i read it sounds like you wanna buff the ai even more. If that is the case then this game will be dead even more

[icy shore]

Or just tackle the ball yourself instead of relying on thr AI to do it

[last wedge]

Learn to defend instead of asking game devs to change the entire game for you. You suck dude.

[rough zealot]

Here comes another fidget spinner guys

Dude aren’t you already embarrassed of yourself
Look at the forums and feedbacks everyone is literally complaining about it which means that without fidget spinning you will probably uninstall the game because you wont be able to win one single match

Who sucks you or him? From what i can tell its you , you are the horrible childish player

[round crypt]

Ok teach us then. How to defend this unreal R1 dribbling?

[daring seal]

Crazy to me that everyone's more interested in AI defending, the biggest problem is the attacking AI yet nobody talks about it. People are fidget spinning because nobody makes runs. Im in favour of fidget spinning, I hate it. But it seems nobody wants the adress the real issue. Attackers run in a straight line and then stand still next to a defender. No arched runs, no dropping off from your marker to create space. If your players would just move and create space, people wouldn't have to result to a ratty meta mechanics.

Im not in favour of fidget spinning*

[robust vector]

#1431594667828580484

[brisk cedar]

It wasn’t 10/10. corners and kick offs were broken and gameplay was still inconsistent. It was 7/10

[brisk cedar]

Yeah I hate when the attacker like hide behind the opponents players for some reason. Even when you call him short or send him on a run

[odd widget]

Yep just want good passing options

[wintry arrow]

Facts

[frigid fern]

Yes, I'd also be interested to know how you defend against the R1 dribbling!

Send us videos or tutorials!

[brisk cedar]

You probably don’t even know what R1 dribbling is

What you are referring to is probably the “fidget spinning”

And the answer is don’t tackle spam or make too many lunges. Don’t just run around with cb just jockey without sprint and try to cut off the angles. 2nd man press as well

[rough zealot]

quick update .. i hopped in to play some rivals and guess what.. the whole 5 matches i played looks and feels like some lucid dream because the scenario is literally the same ... same goals same tactics same boring disgusting match.. i have to wait for my opponent to spin 7 times so he can find himself some space to score a goal BUT what if i dont wanna wait ?

i will tackle then my tackle will 99% fail because the guy is spamming r1

this is a video game im supposed to hop in and have fun away from real life but at this point i should just uninstall again and wait for ea to fix the s***t they did to this game.. it was perfectly fine before this patch

@unkempt mason

[brisk cedar]

It’s not R1 it’s left stick

[quartz zenith]

They really need to buff physical tackles / shoulder to shoulder tackles or nerf rapid because it's crazy it's actually crazy what's going on right now

If I'm going to manually defend against pace abusers and r1 abusers i have to get rewarded for that

Physical tackles after the last tune feels non existent specially if your going against a rapid + playstyle

I just matched a guy playing with hemp ! And fuc*ing james all he did was park the bus and counter with rapid plus and I couldn't tackle him to save my life physical tackles are actually so inconsistent i only got him 1/7 times or smth with perfect timing and all that shi while using good rb/lb with great pace and aggression/ physical stats

[icy shore]

No one has room to make runs because the AI covers the spaces... not that difficult to figure out.

In early access attacking was incredible and the movement I was getting from my attack was mindblowing.

Then ea released 1.0.2 and buffed the defensive AI so it kept the center covered automatically and dropped back more.

[brisk cedar]

Fc players when 90 pace women with rapid plus is faster than their 70 pace cb😡

Defenders are already too quick bro

[safe sleet]

this game is no undefendable and unplayable u literally cant even defend its pathetic awful patch

[last wedge]

Circle is to tackle. Or B on Xbox. 🤝

[last wedge]

We’ve already had this convo dude, I sent you a clip of how my club played. You’re here spamming and writing paragraphs all day to the point where you don’t even remember where you are. If you put this much effort into improving your ability in the game you wouldn’t have to be here crying for them to make the game easier for you.

[mint thunder]

#revertupdate

[rough zealot]

and i told you that you're a good player but i dont think you have enough skill to play ultimate team or hell ... even enough brain to play ut ... stay in your clubs and stay away from ultimate team as i said before in ultimate team the tactics are different now there is bunch of 12 years old like you who loves to spin alot and before you yap like a baby read what the majority are saying here

you are probably in middle school about to be in high school let me tell you one thing ,, when i first played fc you were probably not born yet.. so again and again before you yap alot you must have knowledge about what you're saying

this patch is going to be reverted soon from what we all can see.. after the revert go laugh at yourself for enjoying 7 to 8 days and winning all because of a patch that literally carried you .. after the revert you would have zero knowledge zero skill

[languid mesa]

@rough zealot for someone that has played fc for 10+ years you surely are terrible at the game 🤣 complaining everyday because you can't defend YOU HAD YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, maybe it was AI just holding your hand all these years and now you can't defend Mr div 6 🤣

bet you had the time of your life in fc 25 with all the AI defending

you're the one that should be playing kick off because you can't handle UT anymore LOL don't tell others what to do

[rough zealot]

So you were 3 years old when you first played fc?😂😂😂😂😂😂

I actually replied too much to your bluff now you can just put your opinion here as the others are doing and go away

[languid mesa]

im talking about you playing for 10+ years and still being terrible at the game not me 🤣 read properly, i know it's hard for you to see with your eyes filled with tears

[rough zealot]

Yeah sorry i was crying

[neat oriole]

My biggest complaint is the defensive AI
R1 is defensible trough jockey, left stick it's ofc hard to defend against those who are good at it, don't sink the tackle right away, they barely work anyway

[deep jasper]

Tackles end up one line back right in their feet 9 out of 10 times. They dont even have to move

[rough zealot]

Hello again friend
finally someone who is sticking to one truthful opinion unlike other kids here

[neat oriole]

Yea I'll always stick by the fact that a competitive mode shouldn't be this assisted

[rough zealot]

from what i can see

EA saw this

[neat oriole]

Most of the work must be done by the player not the CPU

[rough zealot]

i hope someone with a brain read this

and will make a great change to this game

[neat oriole]

I don't think they'll do anything ab it because as shady as it sounds, EA wants a way to control outcomes and keep casuals hooked
Removing assistance completely means that is gone

[rough zealot]

sad

[neat oriole]

From a business point of view it makes sense, you always want to try to retain and get as many players as possible, a solution could be to do things by division and mode

Or just put both presets online, see how things goes

The former wouldnt work because I would honestly just remove most assistance from the game, put trough balls on manual, everything in semi, nerf the defensive cpu to the ground, maybe offensive ai too at that point

I hope they're testing something but doubt

It's not easy because they have to cater to both players, casuals, simulation enjoyers, hardcore players
It ain't easy

[rough zealot]

it aint easy but the current state of the game is horrible

the worst experience ever

[sinful token]

Now it's funny to see how fast we can get the previous update back, now that casual players are demanding a change, because this game is currently completely unplayable and far from a football game.

Because last time "pro" players and content creators cried about how boring the game is and how they can't score goals. So EA decided to revert update which we'll see how good it is, back to unrealistic left stick spamming and spinning

[daring seal]

The AI "covering space" is not an excuse for your player standing still next to a defender, read what I am saying. I said "the player doesn't drop off his marker to create space" read it properly. AI covering space does not mean that your players should stand still until you call them back with RB

[brave osprey]

Agree for you and also For me, to make the eafc 26 experience even better and immersive for the community, it is necessary, first, that you urgently hand over the animations and ingenious details of the goalkeepers (parades, reflexes etc;;;) disappeared since EAFC 24 which was so enjoyable and pleasant. These animations that were still present on eafc 24 and since then, many of them have disappeared clearly harming the realism of the game. There was thus a real diversity and a real pleasure to see the goalkeeper use with the result of the many shots, a very realistic different animations. Today, on EAFC26, I notice that there are very few animations which brings a clear weariness. In addition, in terms of pass animations, football realism, it is very beneficial for playability, for the pleasure of the user to put the animations of ball controls and passes at the level of tere that would still run on FIFA 23 or EAFC 24. I don't understand why you have removed all these animations that clearly affect the overall experience of the player Finally, it is urgent that you put the nets of eafc 24 on the ps4 version because since their integration since fifa 19, it was so enjoyable to score in these nets. In definitive, all these details that I have listed are crucial for me and it saddens and frustrates me that since EA FC 25 and EAFC 26, many very realistic animations that brought a graphic value and very pleasant for purists and for the retina have been removed.

[frigid fern]

I completely agree with you! ❗ 👍 ❗

Send your feedback directly to EA. There's an official EA feedback portal.

My CB's have 85 + pace and my Fullbacks 90+ with 85+ aggression

[quartz zenith]

I’m not talking about pace here — I’m talking about how ridiculously ineffective physical tackles are. Sure, I can catch up to them, but then what? You press X with perfect timing and nothing happens. Out of 10 attempts, you might win the ball once or twice at best.

[chrome bay]

Revert ts

[brisk cedar]

It’s not rapid thats the issue buddy

[quartz zenith]

It's the physical tackles needing a buff rapid is the cherry on top

Rapid makes it so obvious

I don't care about ai defending

When i manually track back a run and then make a perfectly timed shoulder challenge i need to get rewarded

[brisk cedar]

I responded so you saying rapid should be nerfed

And you bring up 400 other things nothing to do with rapid btw

Tackling is shi yes but absolutely nothing about rapid is broken

[quartz zenith]

Rapis is too op rn

Compared to physical tackles

So they have to nerf that or buff that

Counters going crazy

[brisk cedar]

They have 0 correlation

[quartz zenith]

It's harder to make a physical tackle on a player with rapid plus it's kinds glitched

[smoky ice]

It's necessary to expose whoever designs and releases these updates; what they're doing to this game is bizarre.

This last update ruined what was an excellent game. It feels like I'm playing EA FC 25 without some bugs. The marking is 100% automatic, the defensive strategy plus counter-attack dominates the game. You just have to drop back with the attacker to the defense and keep marking the pass. The game has become tedious and boring to play.

Please bring back the update for the love of your families. The game is HORRIBLE and BORING.

[brisk cedar]

Attacking AI is just dog in this game. No runs and they hide behind the opponents

[icy shore]

I didn't have to call short or send runs in early access as much I have to now just to make space. My AI in early access made decent intelligent movements that I could play off of. Now they just end up meeting a defender or dropped back midfielders whenever they move.

[neat oriole]

One of my biggest complaints and it's insane that some thinks otherwise
Sometimes you just walk around with your cm looking at the st and they're just standing still or behind the opponent, wild

[brisk cedar]

Or when you do a normal ground pass and the player runs away or behind another player so it gets intercepted

[neat oriole]

I always thought that's something based on the server
Like, if you have less more stable ping, then the server response is faster and so are players animations

But they don't even function on 5 ping probably

Ea please nerf the fidget spinning left stick dribbles and insane r1 dribble.

To those who want attacking to be more and more broken op... Instead of constantly asking for help through broken attacking mechanics why don't just learn to attack better? Do you want all other defenders to get out of your way so that you can just abuse every mechanic and score?

[neat oriole]

Bro don't play 99 depth 352 with attacking fullbacks

[fallow fog]

bcz game will be like 25 we want game to be fun not stressfull and game should be fast so better to do ( manual attack and manual def ) bcz if there is ai def even someone who play just fortnite can win

[vital shore]

Yeah, same here. No passes are getting through anymore, players miss 90% of the chances, and everything just feels like FC25 again. When the game first came out, it was so good. I don’t get it. It’s unplayable now. I‘m done for a while. #revertupdate

[misty wraith]

Cutbacks should be destroyed imo

And they only happen because of AI defence being too OP and manual defending being too weak to stop it.

[tidal bluff]

Nah at release I had friend on PC and myself and others on ps5 who couldn’t even connect to the EA servers during the early release. Preordering for early release was a joke, I barely could access the main menu of the game. After the first issues of stability, ever since then the gameplay has been breaking it. Overall supposed to be the polishing touches to EAFC over the last two iterations and they literally broke a working game. I do like the additional detail to dribbling, I don’t understand why manual defending is so broken this year. Animations for defending only resulting in stomping animations, this goes for when clearances could occur. Also in the past a standing tackle well positioned and timed would result in a seal out or should charge. You can’t even initiate shirt pulls this year for a smart foul, if you are shoulder to shoulder with a runner, only way to make that a realistic interaction is you need the bruiser playstyle if you wanna consider playing defense because you might run side by side with them for 30m and not budge them, but if you press tackle even though you are in the right spot to interact. Your player would rather select the stomping animation because stomping and stopping in their tracks not touching the attacker and allowing them to keep going 5-10 yds ahead is the logical outcome. In the past games you couldn’t tackle spam and had to do the left stick no jockey drop back no tackle manual defending. The collision animations and defenders’ coefficients in any probability based scenario are broken. Why is the stomp animation so prominent, why can’t no tackle body collisions be used more often if you’d like us to reduce the amount of input. Also input can’t be handled in a timely manner, this is again game stability. Other instances feel like the dynamic difficulty or scripting at hand. Why is it that I can queue a shot/pass and have to wait an extra 3 seconds before it launches it and they can manage to make a hero tackle..

[misty wraith]

This game will rightfully die before TOTY if EA didn't move their ahhs

[royal cliff]

Revert yesterdays update as well

No need to buff something that we wanted to be nerfed

[brisk cedar]

I love how EA is the definition of one step forward and 2 step backwards

They buff defending but nerf attacking to the ground

Then they buff attacking but makes some things too broken

Now there’s another speed boost and first time shots go in from everywhere

Every patch where they “fix” something they add 2 new even more broken mechanics

[icy shore]

The story never changes

[neat oriole]

Wait what

This was supposed to be a cpu career mode update

How is it affecting online?

[uneven forum]

someone from div 1293929 is here

[icy shore]

@neat oriole because it doesn't. They could've simply addressed the onlines overpowered AI and possibly reduced it but they didn't. They ignored it and just made changes to offline

Which just makes me feel like they're doing it on purpose

[neat oriole]

But this isn't the big update, that was just an update to make the cpu better in offline games for authentic and competitive presets

[brisk cedar]

Game feels different online

It’s EA like are we even surprised

[neat oriole]

😭

How is it different?

[brisk cedar]

Somehow there’s now a speed boost that’s completely broken. R1 is now broken and tackling is even worse

[icy shore]

No responses to the feedback at all.

The game feels very scripted at the moment

[neat oriole]

WHAT

Idk if u guys noticed but it seems like it's always things that they were present before that gets reintroduced

Like, I think they're just that incompetent at this point
Probably writing on an old code or something

Whenever they touch something completely unrelated they modify something else

Doesn't make sens3

e

[brisk cedar]

Yup. The player like kicks the ball a bit forwards and gets the speed of the flash and teleports to the ball and carries the pace for a short time

[neat oriole]

This could be a pain I know, but can I have a clip?

[brisk cedar]

I don’t have any but I’ve seen people saying it in the chats in this discord I didn’t believe it until I saw it today

It’s like hard to notice but enough times and you’ll see that some players gets weirdly fast outta nowhere

[neat oriole]

Wild...

I'll check

So tecunical is broken?

*technical

[brisk cedar]

They are the definition of 1 step forward and 3 steps backwards. They “fix” something but add 3 other things even more broken

[brisk cedar]

Yeah you can’t tackle players when they have it

Like shoulder barge and normal standing tackle does nothing unless they legit run straight into you ball first

[neat oriole]

Omg

[brisk cedar]

Unless I got the craziest scripted gameplay of all time they deffo changed it

And it seems like it’s way faster now as well

Pina outpaced Marquinos with that and my opponents Huijsen caught up to Mbappe in like 3 seconds so idk man

I played 15 rivals games today and every single game was 451 with Pina and the super broken first time incisive passes

This game is just one dimensional counter simulator now and I hate every second of playing it

I can’t count the times the AI tackles me weirdly in the second man press

[neat oriole]

How to do that speed boost?

[neat oriole]

Scholes is outpacing my 80+ Pace defenders lmao @brisk cedar

Also idk if it's just me, maybe it's my connection

But I constantly get errors when I try to do things in the menus

[uneven forum]

I love attacking... but don't want speed boost... it's not a skill.. don't want fc 25 again

[uneven forum]

😒 don't

[brisk cedar]

I actually don’t know

And I don’t want to know and don’t want to use it neither

[neat oriole]

Dw I'm not playing at all

Only did one match to see and realized I had crossplay on against a pc player whose Scholes outpaced my whole defense

[uneven forum]

turn it off 📴 hackers everywhere..

[neat oriole]

I know, I forgot because I also play clubs with friends from pc...

Ofc this dumb game doesn't have a way to have different presets for different gamemodes

So u have to change it manually each time

[hardy shoal]

Ea please nerf the fidget spinning left stick dribbles and insane r1 dribble.

To those who want attacking to be more and more broken op... Instead of constantly asking for help through broken attacking mechanics why don't just learn to attack better? Do you want all other defenders to get out of your way so that you can just abuse every mechanic and score?

[tropic cradle]

Its a waste of Time now

This game is so so trash

[wary solstice]

Indeed
Every mode they have is a sweatfest

[brave lava]

Bringing back r1 dribbling wasnt enough, park the bus counter/cutback is still meta

Annoying as hell

[icy shore]

They have to nerf the defensive AI

[brisk cedar]

Played my first champs game and immediately 451 1 depth and counter only. Had 72% possession…..

[proven glen]

Well

Game died for me

Completly

Havent played ive just been trading

Sucks

[icy shore]

@proven glen what's wrong? Was buffing r1 not the answer to the overpowered defensive AI or this ridiculous meta? I wonder who could've told you that weeks ago.

[brisk cedar]

It’s more so about them making other things broken as well

They didint just buff R1

[proven glen]

Yeah but not only that, just hadnt had the time to adjust

Bc i have a life

Unlike u

Plus I always agreed defensive AI was a huge problem but since you have the memory of a squirrel you dont remember

Aaaaand you liked the old R1 which was trash

[icy shore]

The first version of 1.1.0 would've been fine if the AI was nerfed to match it. A majority of people begged for an r1 buff and that's what we got. You made a discord account for it @proven glen

If the community wasn't so quick to complain and bandwagon for their mechanics then we might've actually made some progress in getting the AI nerfed before we knew if controlled sprint needed to be quicker or not (it didn't)

[proven glen]

Haha u still think then controlled sprint was good after the patch

It was too slow dude

Understand that

Im done wasting my time with u

I dont care about your wrong opinion that R1 was good after patch

Its better now

My statement on the game being dead comes from what im seeing in twitter anoutnfake 99 stats and still complaining about the gameplay

[icy shore]

The AI was and still is just too overpowered.

[proven glen]

Gosh this guy

I know dude.

No kidding

[brisk cedar]

Second man press and counter tactics are broken. The defensive AI in itself isn’t that broken

[hardy shoal]

Ea please nerf the fidget spinning left stick dribbles and insane r1 dribble.

To those who want attacking to be more and more broken op... Instead of constantly asking for help through broken attacking mechanics why don't just learn to attack better? Do you want all other defenders to get out of your way so that you can just abuse every mechanic and score?

[violet silo]

Revert to Day 1 minus kick off and corners

[icy shore]

It tackles, it chases unprompted, and it intercepts without being user controlled.

Second man press should only attempt to contain and nothing else.

Counters are only strong because of the assisted passing.

The way the AI almost perfectly maintains its shape and drops into the box with certain tactics was done in 1.0.2. Probably to stop how effective controlled sprint was in early access.

We could've just gotten 1.1.0s changes instead of the AI buff and the game would've been in a much more balanced state than it is now.

I would've happily sacrificed a little responsiveness or speed in attack. if it meant the AI would still be like it was in the beginning.

The feedback they've decided to listen to has destroyed this game.

[brisk cedar]

I agree but my point still stands

[neat oriole]

This tbf
People play like that because they're incentivized to do so
Minimal risk, maximum reward

[icy shore]

I completely agree with what you're saying. I'm just disappointed in everyone that pushed for controlled sprint instead of targeting their attention towards the actual problems.

[brisk cedar]

Exactly. Cant 100% fault the players just that it’s the easiest most rewarding way to play

[raw bolt]

Guys the updates and patches are just a minor issue in comparison too the bad servers

Thats what makes the game delayed

[tired raft]

#revertupdate

#revertupdate

[violet silo]

#reverttoday1

[raw bolt]

Guys they need to fix the servers, thats why gameplay is delayed thus making ai defence harder to counter

[karmic iron]

Yep fix/upgrade the servers, constant patches is like putting a band aid on a neck wound. Game will never be right until every match is playable. Shouldn’t be forced to play late night (uk) to get half decent game play when we’ve paid £100 for the game.

[tropic cradle]

The real one to nerf is th overpowered low driven shot. Every time you play in any of the new competitions, you come up against guys who just do cut backs and low driven shot. That’s not football, and it’s not an enjoyable contest

[neat oriole]

Nah they're right, servers first, everything else comes after
Servers have an old netcode

It's been like that for years, we get bad gameplay based on server affluence

But surely nerfing the cpu would mean atleast limiting thus making limits affects the connection on the Gameplay, because there are fewer random events (bouncebacks rebounds) and more skill based gameplay

[brisk cedar]

I’m actually for real done with trying in this game whatsoever. I go into div 2 rivals because I can the bothered to get back into elite. And every single game it’s 451 with 9 in the box. My attacking AI doesn’t do anything so I have to spin to get the slightest angle for anything. Only for my player to take a horrendous touch and the AI eats me up and takes the ball. My opponent can then send 8 players on L1 runs and do an incredibly broken first timed through ball through my entire defence and it’s a goal. And repeat. There’s no actual level of skill to that. And yes I understand that in every game some mechanics are going to be better than others but does it have to be so blatant and one dimensional? Every game is the same tactics, formation, mechanics and players. There’s little to no variety at all in this game. It was like this pre patch but no this bad. I haven’t in my 20 rivals games since the reset come up against someone who didint play 451. That should tell you all you need to know about the so called balance in this game. It’s not even fun when I’m winning. The only fun thing is to do sbcs (which have sucked) and opening packs (which has also sucked massively). Everything is just so random. I have Mbappe through on goal and he misses from a normal shot yet my opponents Theo Hernandez on a weak foot finesse scores from a worse angle. The rebounds are insane as well. It’s just a random luck simulator when it comes to tackling and manual defending. This game is dead. It took them 3 patches to destroy what could’ve been one of the best titles in a long long time

This game went from bringing me joy to bringing me depression, anxiety, rage and sadness. I sit in the menus for 10 minutes everytime I’m going to search for a game in agony knowing that I’m going to go up against next game regardless of what game mode I’m playing.

[brisk cedar]

I was so happy this game was actually fun considering how bad fc25 was. Only for EA to completely ruin that within the space of 2 weeks

[little viper]

damn bro i cant express how much i relate

absolutely truthful and real

playing this game acc makes me depressed

yep 3 updates went from one of the best titles to one of if not the worst game

[neat oriole]

I was always Elite but I can't be bothered to play div rivals

I don't even want to play at all

Idk how they fricked up this bad

It's sad that it's worse than 25
I didn't want to say that, I thought it was impossible but here we go

[deep jasper]

Just leave this game for a few days. Im sure everyone will feel better😂

I played 2 squad battles. And seeing all the stutter and laggy gameplay just gives me chills. Why would i even attempt a rivals game. Its horrendous.

The game litteraly slows down when the AI need to make a decision. The script is just not keeping up. Its getting a bit obvious. Horrible game.

Passes just go random whatever suits the game i guess.. 0 control over gameplay

Maybe its day to day dependent. I dunno it makes 0 sense. Just uninstall this poc

[brisk cedar]

The post reset div 2 experience is pure agony

[willow mountain]

dude its insane how quickly they released patches that no one asked for and destroyed the best thing theyve made in year s

[dapper egret]

This game was so good at launch, the only thing that needed fixing was kick off goals! Should have left everything else as it was

Just give us back FC 26 v1.1.0 🙂

[brisk cedar]

Don’t listen to this guy. He’s been known to lie over and over again and he doesn’t even know what he’s complaining about. He said fidgetspinning and R1 was the same thing😂

He tried to say they made this game defensive because I wanted attacking football. They made this gameplay for people like you who plays without thumbs. I would give up if I were you tbh. Lost cause

In fact why don’t you play me and I won’t even use the R1 dribbling and let’s see if I’m so heavily dependent on it as you say. Or are you a coward like the rest of you who run away all the time

[broken breach]

i hope div 11 players enjoy the gameplay after EA ruined it because of them crying cuz they got outplayed/outsmarted by other players that knew how to utilize agility and pace

now they cant win anyway but the game is just worse for everyone

[brisk cedar]

And they have the nerve to blame us who wanted more attacking and open gameplay for it

The bots who can’t defend wanted more AI, less individual skill and lower scorelines. And this is what we get

[broken breach]

now they want to get goalkeeper movement out because they cant score sht after finally getting past defence

wondering why they dont ask for auto shooting mode or some UI that show % of pass accuracy

[brisk cedar]

I just know they’re all tackle spammers that blame it on the defensive AI

[broken breach]

i dont think they even use tackle

[brisk cedar]

Just sprints around like a headless chicken.

“Oh but I want authentic gameplay”🤡

Yet they all loved 5 ATB and trivela spam last year

[broken breach]

nah trivela was criticised by all of the players

now its just sad how the movement is ruined because div 11 couldnt defend against it or stay patient with interceptions

not touching rivals for sure looking at how offline gameplay bad is

[brisk cedar]

They just want 99 pace defenders with 99 everything in defence. They want the game to make up for their lack of skills and individual mistakes

They still lose as much and we still win as much. Funny how that works

Also funny that 90% of the people complaining about fidget spinning thought it was R1 dribble😂😂😂

[misty wraith]

Same, I just cba...
I missed 2 WLs one of them on purpose because the game was unplayable.

[proven glen]

Right now the only problem is AI defending. Fixing R1 and the speed of gameplay was great. I was away on travel and played this weekend again.

R1 is back to the speed it should be.

I actually enjoyed it even though i stressed so much with the defending

But from the initial big update I cant keep complaining honestly

Haha

If they reduce AI defending we are back to normal and great

[misty wraith]

Yeah the elephant in the room is and always was AI defending

Stuff like DDA and momentum happens because AI defending also enables those things.

[hardy shoal]

Ea please nerf the fidget spinning left stick dribbles and insane r1 dribble.

To those who want attacking to be more and more broken op... Instead of constantly asking for help through broken attacking mechanics why don't just learn to attack better? Do you want all other defenders to get out of your way so that you can just abuse every mechanic and score?

[royal cliff]

So like over the last month or two you’ve been spamming this you haven’t learned to defend?

EA listening to the wrong side of the community

[neat oriole]

Yep I already highlighted it
Scripted events in which you aren't in control, such as rebounds , happens because of the AI preponderance

Ofc it doesn't take me or anyone else to realize that you should ALWAYS feel in control, and the casual factor should be minimal in a competitive game

[tawdry ibex]

I’ve been playing your football games for years, but this year I’ve reached my limit. Every single week there’s a new update that completely changes how the game feels. This is not a football game anymore — it’s an application that we have to relearn from zero after every patch.

Passing is terrible. Player positioning is broken. Attacking runs make no sense. Every update ruins something that was working fine before. It’s exhausting.

How are we supposed to enjoy the game if every few days the gameplay changes completely? One week the game feels smooth, next week players move like robots. You’re not improving — you’re breaking your own product.

And please, stop rewarding players who just spin, turn, and abuse the same tricks. That’s not football. That’s not skill. That’s arcade chaos.

I’m saying this with real frustration: if this continues, this will be my last year buying your game. You’ve lost so many loyal players already, and you’re losing me too.

Stop changing the whole game every week. Fix what’s broken — don’t destroy what works.

you really killed me this year. I’m a Master Class player, someone who loves real football — tiki-taka, one-two passes, smart movement, and goals built with skill. That’s how I’ve always played.

But this year? I can’t even make one clear pass. Your AI covers every single option like it’s on steroids. So tell me — why am I even playing a football game if I can’t pass the ball?

And the passing direction — OMG it’s so bad. I’m not that bad of a player! When I aim a pass to the guy in front of me, the game decides to send it to the winger instead. Seriously? That’s not skill issue, that’s your system breaking the game.

Also, I’m not a Division 5 or 6 player. Don’t insult my level. What do you mean, EA? You think I suddenly got bad? Or maybe you added scripts to help weaker players win, to keep them playing longer? Hah, caught you! That’s exactly what Epic did with Fortnite — and look how that ended: the game died.

You are killing your own football game. We miss FIFA. We miss tiki-taka football.
Now it’s not football anymore — it’s a “Spin and Turn Simulator.”

Every week, a new update comes that changes everything — passing, positioning, timing, gameplay flow. We don’t need a new “feel” every Friday. We need stability, fairness, and football.

I can’t believe what’s happening to this game. I swear this is my last year buying your football game.

You lost me this year, EA. And I’m sure I’m not the only one.

[hardy shoal]

[frigid fern]

Dear EA team,

"Controlled sprint dribbling - R1 dribbling" is very difficult to defend.

Controlled sprint dribbling should be completely reworked/refined!

It should only be available to players like Yamal, Musiala, Messi, Vinicius Jr., Ousmane Dembélé, Wirtz, and other dribbling wizards.

The way dribbling is currently dominated in FC 26 has nothing to do with real dribbling.

The current dribbling is too powerful and a weapon that kills the rest of the game!

It's all about who can press the buttons on the controller the fastest and score the most "controlled dribbling - R1 goals"!

This is extremely difficult to defend against and often leads to unrealistic results.

Against some players, the "R1 Dribbling" is simply impossible to defend.

EA team, please rework the controlled sprint dribbling (make it less effective!!!) or remove it completely!!!

[brisk cedar]

Go find another thread this one has a div 5+ requirement

[sage jackal]

Please revert the update the players feel like they have bricks in their shoes and the gameplay feels super unresponsive. Are you guys also feeling the same issues? I play it on a ps5

[marsh pine]

Anyone can guess when it will come?

[brisk cedar]

They won’t do sht

They say they’re going to do something but they don’t and they just break something else

Am I the only one who thinks manual defending is horrible? I find it really hard to defend; the tackles feel terrible and mistimed.

[marsh pine]

Yes u r the only one

Because There is even AI DEFENDING help..

Just learn

[regal goblet]

Being right in front of the striker and still not winning the ball, and seeing Claudia Pina win a physical battle against my defender (Vidić), is completely normal… I guess I’m the only one, as you say, and I’ll have to improve.

[marsh pine]

Pina isn't good now... But ea should nerf Ai Def and puff manual... So when you tap x, you get the ball from Pina

[violet silo]

thats exactly what advanced defending does

[icy shore]

Too bad it's not consistent and players just bounce of my defenders or the animations don't play at all.

[regal goblet]

Yes, that’s what they should do; the thing with Pina comes down to each player’s experience, and she still bothers me.

if they reduce the dribbling anymore there will be literally no dribbling. It will be stand still and pass simulator you absolute muppet

[frigid fern]

I'll report this to support!

I find it disrespectful that you call me a Muppet.

[icy shore]

I find it frustrating that you're still complaining about R1 when the defensive AI is the thing that's overpowered.

R1 got it's nerf move on to the next issue.

I'd rather play the early access build with that R1 because atleast the defensive AI wasn't as overpowered as it is now.

[frigid fern]

Dear Anseny, R1 dribbling, with live tuning update #2, it was restored to almost the same speed as at the game's release. Has there been another update since then where it was nerfed?

[icy shore]

It's a lot easier to defend now. You've also got faster jockey speed to cut off the space. It's nowhere near its release effectiveness.

It shouldn't be the topic of discussion anymore.

[frigid fern]

In my opinion, that was important to balance the game. At the beginning, you could run through with lots of players and score! Final scores of 5:6, 7:5, 9:9 – that's unrealistic in football.

[icy shore]

The score lines don't have to be realistic because it's a video game.

You could run through players because manual defending wasn't responsive.

Controlled sprint was in an overpowered state originally but I would rather deal with that over this clunky, AI, meta slop.

I'm sorry but feedback like yours is why we're currently in this situation.

[azure beacon]

#revertgame, not only the update

[icy shore]

Right back to the early access build.

[brisk cedar]

But I bet you do weird skill moves and have women in the team

There is career mode authentic gameplay just for people like you

Who can’t keep up

[frigid fern]

I only play the Seasons mode and would like the option to play the authentic gameplay here!

[brisk cedar]

Ultimate team isn’t an authentic mode

End of

Has never been

You have your modes dont destroy ours

[frigid fern]

It was never my intention to attack your mode.

I'm simply actively advocating for the integration of authentic gameplay into Seasons mode.

Currently, Seasons mode features competitive gameplay, the same gameplay as Ultimate Team.

[marsh pine]

Go ask for authentic mode in separate thread..

[brisk cedar]

Why are you asking for seasons authentic gameplay in an UT thread?

[frigid fern]

The thread is also under the "gameplay" category!

Not just Ultimate Team 😉

It’s also labelled “revert the update” not “bring authentic gameplay to a mode no one plays”🫠

[quartz zenith]

Physical tackles needs a buff on players that doesn't have the bruiser playstyle

[marsh pine]

What about puff all the defending method.. To let you only down the controller until the ball be with you

[quartz zenith]

Your talking about Ai defending here that has nothing to do with manual defending

For a physical tackle to work i need to manually track the player and time the tackle using x (advanced defending)

I don't really care about ai defending at all it should get nerfed

[marsh pine]

Good if you meant that... I haven't problem if they made the manual Def op... But Ai no.

[novel hemlock]

worst fifa of all time

[icy shore]

What did 1.2.1 even do?

[modern condor]

Went back to compare early access and todays gameplay. Night and day. One can see that they completely butchered this game just by watching normal dribbling animation and passing

[old path]

Worst fifa I’ve ever played (been playing 20 years)

[marsh pine]

Destroy more and more.... I won't play anymore until see any update..

Make AI powerful more and more..

Destroy R1 and every running mechanic more..

And sure.. Passes is destroyed already.. Through balls.. Etc

Because every ball is cut by the AI.. Etc

So.. It's defending simulator

[tiny gazelle]

Ai is so freakishly overpowered. Not really motivating to play

[little viper]

damn bro full circle

bro this game is horrible

not really sure how to save it

i feel like i should change the title and description of this thread to keep it relevant. what you lads think?

a thread from another server: this games a joke now haha
went from one of the best titles at launch
to a sweaty ai simulator
to whatever this circus is with goals coming from crazy double, triple and quadruple rebounds and bounces
seriously tho how does the game seem to change every week? and nothings ever fixed. the issues just keep stacking up rather than replacing each other. haha what
games been officially dead for a couple weeks now with hardly anyone actually playing consistentlly. and how do ea respond?

#EAfixyourgame

where do EA even start 😭

[keen crown]

it was meant to be disrespectful. good luck. I think they will laugh and hit delete on your report.

[icy shore]

Honestly just putting it back to the early access build shouldn't be that hard.

[brisk cedar]

What a baby

[brisk cedar]

It would. There’s loads of other bugs they’ve fixed since then and they’re lazy

[deep jasper]

This game is dead. Going 3-0 up and suddenly cant make a single pass without delay. Cant do anything😂

[thin gazelle]

This is the real problem in the game that nobody talks about. It always feels like winning or losing isn’t in your hands. EA’s stats decide how the match goes, just to make it exciting and keep you playing

[deep jasper]

yeah it gets worse. now the controller just doesnt respond in game anymore. it does in the menu. but not in the game ggs

[deep jasper]

basicly these issues expose the script in the game. thats why its boring

im just about getting warning after warning disconnecting every game cause my controller stops working😂 👍

[thin gazelle]

I’ve been playing since PlayStation 1, and I see everything clearly in this game. Sometimes the center-backs randomly push forward while at least one fullback stays deep — and that creates a free run for the opponent with no offside. I have plenty of videos showing how unfair this game really is.

[lost sage]

All I'm saying is the game when it was released was more fun and enjoyable than whatever is going on now

is it difficult to revert back the changes and just have that update?

[gaunt finch]

nah ea you have to fix this now A this post has nearly 5000 comments on it also ea tell me why im pressing this random guys gk with my striker he reandomly boots it long with his gk and altermaticaly goes to his strikers feet for him to 1v1 my gk and score and he does this 5 times and i was up 2-0 the game ended 5-2 i dont understand also how my 2 cb arnt jumping to win the header he passed from his gk baring in mind i have primetime saliba and base vvd make it make snese ea
