Ea please do polls in game and listen to all your players

[topaz tendon]

Your polls on discord are useless. 2k players on discord are not representative of the vast majority of millions of players playing the game.
Please conduct polls in the game or twitter if that is not possible.

Vast majority of the community agrees that you did a Great job 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.

And please fix your servers that's a big contributor to bad gameplay

The first and last thing youve said are actually reasonable

The ones in the middle, not so much
I'll never understand why u hate fun lol

[lone bough]

Spot on. Fix AI secondary press as well! Once that fidget spinning is fixed it’ll be perfect.

[broken barn]

In which way nerfing agility is a good thing? The game formula was always thought as an arcade experience and the competitive gamemode experience was publicized as such
A non-delayed responsive experience with agile and fast players and plays

If you want the game to be slower and more simulative, authentic mode is there for that
If you want it online, advocate for it to be online

You don't have to ruin the fun for others

[slow falcon]

Fidget spinning is the opposite of fun but op probably defends only with his cdms and is annoyed that it doesn't work all the time. If EA messes with dribbling, it should force players to actually defend with defenders rather than letting AI do the work.

Otherwise I don't know what OP is on, defending is too automatically strong already when compared to attacking.

[broken barn]

Fidget spinning is just turning around to find space, there's no sprint boosting and no R1 anymore So it's not even a way for the players to get away, it's simply to create space, send the opponent in the wrong direction and find a passing lane

It is easily defensible now with the buffs to jockey and AI being more automatic.

If they nerf agility further reducing turning it'll be nothing but a CPU fest

If you really intend to nerf agility, possibly slightly, I would say that first we need to nerf the defensive AI and improve attacking runs

Else, it would be all useless, the games would all be pure boredom of you bumping against CPU walls

[eager portal]

The game is very very inconsistent, the patch is irrelevant please guys watch inception fc latest video on YouTube

[broken barn]

That was a thing known for years to whoever played this game for enough time, the gameplay has been inconsistent for years it's not news sadly

[slow falcon]

I fully agree with the last sentence. Fidget spinning should be nerfed but first it should be done after defending AI is nerfed and attacking AI is buffed. I already grew tired of facing people running 4-2-3-1 and chasing me with cdms and second man press. The game is arcadey yes but it should somewhat emulate football.

Tthe game is also very very incosistent as a bonus, play in the morning life is good, play at night life is not good.

[broken barn]

Exactly
Imagine nerfing agility with bad gameplay
I mean, we had an experience like that with all the cpu involved, it's called FC25

[ebon river]

fidget spinning is a coping excuse for people who cant get more than 7 wins. Improve at manual defending and stop crying

they should make polls for elite division players only to decide patches not casuals

[arctic parcel]

Man people like u destroying the game right now are defenders way more powerfull then attackers wha re u sayin

[ebon river]

they need AI to save them its so boring

[arctic parcel]

i know for div 10 players its hard to defend but for rest of us, if ea buffing defenders more the game will be destroyed !

Dribling is already in Mud !

ITS so slow compare to previeos patch.

[slow falcon]

fifa is not a good esports game(it is a forced esports game really) so that doesn't apply here

[ebon river]

why dont u improve at manual defending instead of crying about attacking?

how is it realistic that yamal cannot dribble?

[slow falcon]

if you don't hold r1 continously it's not that bad, it's just that AI defending is too strong

[ebon river]

this is a lie

[slow falcon]

my bad that you can't read

[ebon river]

i can read

u are saying the best players shouldnt have a say

why should EA cater to the casuals

go play career mode

[slow falcon]

I am saying that the game shouldn't cater to the top 0.1% of players only, not that EA shouldn't listen to top players

[arctic parcel]

Why they even touch R1 dribling , just buff jokey thats it !

[ebon river]

i think it should because we know how to BALANCE the game. Most people want defending to be better than attacking

there is no sense of 50/50 within the community

[slow falcon]

fair, I agree with that, but that is already changed

[arctic parcel]

Kick offs was he real problem and corners no R1 dribling ...

[ebon river]

it was a simple patch but they had to overdo it to make 7 wins players happy

soft generation, instead of improving they make the game easier to defend

i remember back in fifa 17 and the older kids would give me belt and i improved i never asked for patches

[slow falcon]

and? why should EA bother listening to you or 0.1% players specfically? If they see their numbers dropping, will you compensate them? The "casual" experience most likely matters more to EA than the esports facade of the game

[slow falcon]

sadly still are

[arctic parcel]

True like i said this patch is good for 10 and 9 div players they doesnt care about drobling at all .

[ebon river]

all they care about is defending they should play WWE

[arctic parcel]

😄

[ebon river]

game will go on sale for €19.99 like this

[slow falcon]

wasn't it already on some sale recently?

[ebon river]

ye like €10 off

thats nothing

if u cater to the casuals then all u do is make people use exploits

[slow falcon]

20% off recently ye

[ebon river]

will be 60% next month if they dont change it

[slow falcon]

brother you act as if higher divs are anything but glitch simulator

it will be 60% off anyway, they're trying to hold off the casual playerbase from leaving but it isn't really working

[ebon river]

it wouldnt be glitchy if they patched corners and kick off only

im going to buy haaland and play him LM off chem and make the casuals cry

[arctic parcel]

3200 + votes wants R1 dribling they still do nothing !

[ebon river]

frimpong whipped pass + back post to haaland imma make people cry

this is what casuals want

[slow falcon]

I think amongst my friends only 2 people are still playing, casuals are long gone, being beaten 11-5 after a work day isn't what they really wanted I guess

[broken barn]

That's nothing of the playerbase tbh
They should make polls in game as said

[wooden sierra]

3200 people don't know how to build up or create chances with out it I guess.

[ebon river]

1v1 me ill put 5 past you in 1 half

[eager portal]

Bro why r u so results fixated

[ebon river]

i want to prove to him that the people who want it back can still create chances now?

if anything, im better at the game now lmfao i literally cannot lose a game in elite

patch doesnt affect if i win or lose but its not enjoyable for a video game

EA need to realise that GTA6 is literally coming out

[spiral wasp]

can you guys play wl?

[wooden sierra]

Someone plays counter attack football.

[ebon river]

i play possession actually but good try div 5 player

[arctic parcel]

dribling is the most fun part in fc26 and now they destroy it !
