Using offside trap as team press and overload ballside.

[idle hound]

Nerf these two things into the ground along with your defensive AI. There's almost no room to play if your opponent is just using a meta formation and abusing the AI defenders.

[hard verge]

If the game is to hard for you offline mode my just work

[idle hound]

It's not. Just pointing out another abused mechanic that needs a nerf.

[hard verge]

The game is fine

We don't need to make it easy for players

Top 100 over here 👍🏼

[idle hound]

The game is not fine. It's riddled with defensive AI and bounce backs now.

It was better in early access. This is just exploit meta ball.

Offside traps should have a cool down after you use it once. There's no reason to have it so the defensive line can constantly move up as one perfect unit.

It's supposed to be situational and should cause your back line to lose its shape for a moment and be absolutely ineffective.

Not a constant team press with a wall of AI defenders.

[hard verge]

Again if you can't handle it play offline it might be more your speed

The Ai won't call offsides on u

[idle hound]

It's not that I can't handle it. It's that it's absurd and practically an exploit.

Team press and overload ball side already exist. Why does there need to be 1 option that practically does both of those things?

[cunning mist]

wdym have a cooldown?! bro u are playing a sports game not apex legends or league of legends having cooldown on stuff.

[untold owl]

How does one pressure someone that is possession passing in the back in your ideal world? i cant wait to hold the ball for 90 mins on you 😄

[idle hound]

I think im playing a competitive video game that already has cool downs in it. I would just like the offside trap to have a proper one instead of the ability to turn it on and off as I please until the meter runs out. After you use it once you should have to wait a few seconds before it can be done again.

[idle hound]

You use team press, second man press and it's double tap version, you play a higher aggressive defensive line instead of balanced or deep. Lots of ways to get the ball back from someone passing around the back. Why would offside trap having more of a cool down change that? Do you need offside trap in it's current state to win the ball back because I certainly don't.

[untold owl]

Let’s 1v1

I will hold ball for 85% possession

And whenever u decide to overcommit by spamming those mechanics

I will over the top to Mbappe

And u will cry

[mortal cedar]

To Mbappe? How ab u use equal teams instead

[untold owl]

the press in the offensive third is too weak.

[untold owl]

I can use any very fast player it’s the same crap

point is I pass around the back

All day

Because the ability to press is extremely weak

At the Atalanta pro open I saw a pro hold the ball from minute 70 to 90 without losing ball against another pro

That doesn’t even include the fact that you can pop up and header to your goalie to waste time

When that’s not even allowed in the rules of footy. But ea hasn’t changed that for years

[mortal cedar]

Terrible...

Ive had that

[untold owl]

Like u can do it twice per player

Then the game auto heads it out for corner

So u can do that 4-8 times per possession

[mortal cedar]

That's like 10 in game minutes already

[untold owl]

Team press feature needs to be severely buffed. But it also needs to drain stamina harder as part of that buff.

Also all automatic defensive mechanics need to be removed

[untold owl]

Like 20~ lol

[untold owl]

To continue here also automatic interceptions and tackles shouldn’t exist.

[mortal cedar]

Yea I agree w that

[untold owl]

But in response the man marking of the AI has to be greatly increased

But that’s fine cause there will be no automatic tackles / interceptions

[mortal cedar]

True, lots of times they just leave their man to run towards the ball carrier for no reason.
Happens alot on the sideline, leaving an easy pass on the middle for a first timed shot

[untold owl]

I would even argue there shouldn’t be automatic blocks.

[mortal cedar]

Hmmm maybe nerfing them is the way
Longshots aren't a thing anymore

[untold owl]

r1… brainless offensive ai mechanic…. would need to be nerfed to compensate as well.

but you won’t need r1

[mortal cedar]

But yea, doing a skill, get trough and get autoblocked sucks

[untold owl]

Cause defense will be manual

skill moves should be buffed.

It’s a legitimate skill gap

[mortal cedar]

I don't even think R1 is that OP rn
Though it's used to first control the ball and turn immediately

[untold owl]

R1 is fine right now

but if defending is full manual it’ll need a slight nerf

[mortal cedar]

Exactly??? Finally someone who thinks exactly like me
Skill moves were and are the skill gap

Or better, should be

[untold owl]

the problem is

[mortal cedar]

Cuz w cpu walls not really

[untold owl]

Some skill moves are broken

So u glitch thru defenders

[mortal cedar]

Some cancels are glitchy

[untold owl]

There shud be a timing window where a good standing tackle wins the ball

Even if skill move is done correctly

Exactly like irl

[mortal cedar]

Do u think cancels should be a thing?

[untold owl]

No.

wellll

depends

Shot cancel. Yes

mcgeady cancel no.

like any skill move that can naturally be cancelled should ….

[mortal cedar]

I'm not one to say
Realism blah blah blah idc
But I don't think cancels should be a thing either
they are kinda glitchy most of the times

Anything that gives U or the opponent an unfair way to do something has to be nerfed imo

And I've been skilling since FIFA 13 I basically know all them

There's some cool tricks with the double touch spin and fake drag back and they need canceling in order to do so
But like they're only show off and really hard to execute

Smh with all the cpu walls I can barely do a reverse

All your suggestions are grounded in knowledge of the game clearly, I agree with all them

[idle hound]

I don't spam any mechanics and if you play like that on purpose what's the point of playing someone like you at all?

I'm just suggesting they add a better cool down to a command that is currently better than the actual team press command and has no stamina reduction whatsoever.

Sorry if that hurts your feelings.

[untold owl]

Don’t fix broken gameplay choose not to play against it until you’re in champs and required to 🤣

[mortal cedar]

Our main complaint is always the same, nerf defensive AI

Then we talk

[idle hound]

If the AI was nerfed then the offside trap probably wouldn't be as effective but we won't know until then

[real ermine]

if game is easy then dont use defensive ai... defend by urself

[real ermine]

again if you dont like his opinion leave discord. does it make sense. he has a problem and he is expressing it to ea. if you dont agree its fine. dont tell others what to do. you like the game, top 100 good for u. but the game is no longer enjoyable since there are random factors now.

[real ermine]

totally agree. there are so much random factors. first month felt like you could control every aspect of the game. whoever is the better player wins beacuse of his skill and control. and if u lose it was never frustrating but a learning experience. you could see what went wrong from ur side and correct it. now bounce backs , AI multiplayer tackling, sudden speed boost from wingers, sometimes i am in a goal scoring postion even when i never planned it. its not enjoyeble. some might disagree . thats ok

[idle hound]

I just assume if they disagree then it's because they need those certain mechanics or exploits to enjoy the game.

I'm pretty sure a majority of the top tier players now just play the meta and nothing else these days so I just avoid playing rivals past div 4 and give my feedback and opinions based on that and my experiences in the other modes.

[untold owl]

attack by yourself. dont use offensive ai....

[real ermine]

Thats what i want... didnt u read it

The game needs to be more controllable

[untold owl]

yes bro
