AI DEFENDING OVERPOWERED AGAIN

[neon mesa]

Tackling is OVERPOWERED, people are just SPAMMING tackle without being punished + the AI is there on the side to help them and it's not them just pressing R1 i've seen that constantly.

Sure, the start of the game AI defensive was there but not this CRAZY you guys clearly made OVERPOWERED again and rewarded poor players and went back to your usual philosophy of boring, drop back, counter attacking gameplay. GOOD JOB GUYS!

[shy sandal]

Exactly. If the defensive AI was nerfed and in a similar spot to how it was during early access the game would take skill and practice in order to attack and defend.

If dribbling needs a buff after the AI is gone then I'd have no arguments there. I just think we can't judge the dribbling properly yet.

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.

True

I see this comment everywhere you must be a bot

[cold frigate]

@dim plinth you are just bad, I play with 80 ping before and it was all perfect, just because you suck it didn’t meant the game was bad, it’s bad now after this update

Up

[cold frigate]

Go to sleep kid

Or just learn how to defend

[livid thistle]

Patch has nothing to do with defending you moron

[shy sandal]

Nerf the defensive AI

[spiral sun]

I’m so confused. I’m literally having the opposite problem the AI defending is so bad for me my players do not defend unless I use R1 and they snooze on runs in ridiculous fashion even when I’m using R1 to tell them to mark said run

They’ll even run completely out of position to mark someone 30 ft away from them when they were literally right next to a defender whom I wanted them to tighten up on.

The second I let go of R1 my center backs will literally run away from the person making a run

The AI defending is abysmal in this game

I literally have to fight the AI to make the team defend well

Constantly holding R1 to make them mark the right passes because they’ll just snooze otherwise

And even then they’ll still occasionally snooze letting in a ridiculous ball in behind that should’ve been intercepted

Or snooze on a cross back post on the guy I literally told them to mark

Or even just leave the guy they’re supposed to be marking wide open

Giving the other team a free goal

There’s 11 players on the field, 1 person can’t control 11 players simultaneously, the other 10 players shouldn’t just be snoozing and ball watching

But maybe it’s a seasons thing and the quality of the players in seasons

Because everyone’s talking about how op it is in UT

[shy sandal]

Whatever it was during early access was good. Obviously there's no controlling 11 players on the pitch at once but you should have to use a good combination of player switching and second man pressing in order to win the ball.

Not just chase the ball with one player while the AI back line perfectly covers space and makes it's way to the box.

Even when playing balanced they sometimes move like it's on deep. That didn't happen before the 1.0.2 patch.

Like if I select my cdm or an attacker and just chase with the ball, unless I'm using second man press the AI should just stand there or jog back. Even with second man press they should never be able to get the ball, just try to contain or cover until I switch. Maybe a light physical challenge but never enough to the point where you don't even have to switch players.

[spiral sun]

Yeah no, I don’t ball chase, and I’ve been having the dropping too deep bug too

I usually have the opposition on the back foot while I press with my forwards and wingbacks or occasionally midfielders if they’re in the right area to press (I use a 3-4-2-1 and I play Amorim ball) while I tell the players who aren’t pressing to mark passes to force the opposition into a mistake

[spiral sun]

And I have pretty good player switching

I still may make mistakes occasionally with player switching but I’m somewhat consistent

[shy sandal]

I wasn't accusing you of anything. I was using an example.

[spiral sun]

I get it

I just wanna know why my defensive line does nothing productive on defense unless I force them to

And even then they’ll still allow a pass through on the man I’m telling them to mark

Or they’ll just choose to run out of position to mark someone out of the play instead of the person right next to them

[shy sandal]

No clue. Maybe the tactic is easily broken down or countered. I don't feel like I have the same assistance as others either but I'm always getting countered anyway because I play a high line and overlap my LB.

[wild mesa]

It will be dda for the most part

This fifa is riddled with it

The worst it's been since I can remember

[shy sandal]

That too

[spiral sun]

What’s dda?

[wild mesa]

Dynamic difficulty adjustment

[spiral sun]

Ah

[spiral sun]

In game they aren’t vulnerable on counter attacks

[shy sandal]

Careful. A friend of mine got banned for mentioning that on the forums

[spiral sun]

There’s always 3 back

And 2 wingbacks tracking back

[wild mesa]

Sums up ea that does

[spiral sun]

But the back line won’t pick up anybody until I spam R1 to make them

[spiral sun]

That’s ridiculous

[spiral sun]

And they’ll still occasionally just mark the person poorly allowing for a pass to get through anyway

[shy sandal]

I'd recommend if u really wanna see how op the AI can be is, go try out one of the meta FUT tactics. Look up Neil guides on YouTube.

[spiral sun]

I’ll test it then, I always just use United players and use the tactics of the manager (not the games default tactics for the team but how the manager actually has the team playing in real life)

It’s more fun that way

And the build up play is always majestically perfect

[shy sandal]

I'm not going to guarantee straight wins but there's definitely a difference in whatever they do vs what a regular tactic looks like.

[sick grotto]

yeah not only that, press is also broken again, some games i cant even move forwards (which never happened pre patch) due to the opponents ai being constantly ontop of my players. everytime i have to go back, which makes the game boring and slow again.

[spiral sun]

I just tried rivals for the first time and tbh the defending is way better in FUT 😭

Kept a clean sheet and the guy could barely get a shot off

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

You have your r1 back you rats
