Stop with Girls in FC26 pls

[sturdy trench]

This game is completely dead. The last patch was the final straw. The balance is destroyed, the gameplay is awful, and EA clearly doesn’t care at all.

The biggest issue is obvious: the women players are completely overpowered. Every match is the same team, the same meta attackers, the same broken cards. It’s ridiculous. Instead of fixing them, EA leaves them insanely strong for months.

Defending is miserable. You’re right on top of the ball and your defender simply refuses to react. Midfielders feel useless. Meanwhile, the women cards run around in circles like it’s some kind of cartoon game. This is NOT football — it’s a cheap arcade mess.

EA keeps doing absolutely nothing. They release pointless patches that make the game worse every time. The community is quitting, players are fed up, and EA still ignores everything. Attack is overpowered, defense is a joke, the meta is disgusting, and the gameplay is completely repetitive.

I use my Sporting team because I want to play football, not chase overpowered meta cards all game long. If this is the kind of gameplay EA wants to promote, congratulations — you’ve pushed away almost everyone who actually likes real football.

For me, it’s over. I’m only playing Career Mode now, and in 27 I’m not buying this game again

[spark sandal]

Defense isn't a joke now.. Or you want the latest AI defending which cut every ball?! It's more manual..

And about girls.. Only Pina who need some nerf.. Other girls is OK.

Attacking and defending is little balanced now.. Manual Def got some puff and AI got some nerf.

Attacking was dea.d before the patch!! Pace was very slow..

Now it's good and speed gameplay, not slow motion.

Only learn defending..

And it's normal that girls are move faster because they're not heavy like konate or Pugba.. Etc and there is slow girls in defend too like renard..

At least that's good for me in old Gen

[sturdy trench]

Alright, here’s the explanation for why the game is awful. For you, the problem before was the defending, because you couldn’t run in circles anymore and find that easy space to break through. But this is football, you know? To score a goal you’re supposed to create space, not just abuse mechanics.

What we have now is a game full of “Pinas” and small, ultra-agile players with specific playstyles made to be overpowered. And of course you’re enjoying the game because you’re using the meta players — I bet 90% of your goals look exactly the same.

And that’s why the game is finished. Soon no one will care about it anymore.

[green latch]

What are you Talking about gameplay is Bad

[spark sandal]

I wasn't spin.. I only love tiki taka... I was feedback EA to nerf AI Def.. But now it's already nerfed for me.. I feel it's balanced now and more manual..

Playing tiki taka and through passes.. Etc.. Not like fidget spin.. 😂BTW I didn't use Pina and I haven't Pina.. And don't like meta things.. I play with the team I love.. Etc

[spark sandal]

My goals is random.. Crossing... Shooting from outside the box, passes until reach inside the box.. Free kicks..

I don't spin the whole game..

[sturdy trench]

Yeah, sure — if my aunt had wheels she’d be a truck. If you enjoy the game in its current state, it’s because you don’t really like football. And if you’re managing to have fun now, it’s only because almost nobody cares about the game anymore. At the slightest stupid thing that happens, everyone quits the match — nobody has patience for a game like this, made for people with no skill, where the AI is so dumb that any weak player can win and think they’re good.

That’s what the game has become. Just look at the comments — people are abandoning it. And honestly, I’m happy, because my wish is for this game to disappear forever. EA has ruined it completely.”**

[pale willow]

Well, I was against adding women players into fut in the begining but in previous ea's I learned myself to tolerate them because the balance between male was good. But this year this is fckng disgusting what they did with women, they are too overpowered. This is really shamefull because that we are facing squads with 6 women, and some fckng random pinia is better than best strikers in the world like Kane, Haaland or Lewa. I hope that with new EA ownership, evereone in ea which was involved in the decision of making women such powerfull will be fired.

[icy raptor]

Yeah read the part about defending being weak and attacking overpowered. Sorry to tell you that this is a skill issue. Happy to hear you won’t be buying future fcs though - save the stress

[halcyon swift]

1000% agree it’s preposterous

And so unrealistic

[halcyon swift]

You use sporting? I only use man united (in seasons and FUT), real acknowledges real

But I 100% agree with everything you say

[halcyon swift]

“Only Pina needs some nerf… the other girls is OK” in a game where the female players are body checking, outpacing, and outjumping the male players?

Seriously?

[halcyon swift]

“It’s normal that girls are move faster because they are not heavy like Konate or Pugba” first off…. Pugba??? Secondly the fastest female footballer in the world Kundananji only has a top speed of 33 km/h which is equivalent to the top speed of 32 year old Harry Kane… the fastest female footballer in EA FC Chawinga only has a top speed of 31 km/h in real life… Konate has a top speed of 36 km/h in real life and Pogba has a top speed of 34.7 km/h. There is nothing normal about any female players in the game being faster than any of the players you mentioned.

Chawinga has a lower top speed than Harry Maguire yet she gets 94 pace in game and you think that’s fair?

You think it’s fair when 6’4 Joshua Zirkzee is getting body checked by a female footballer smaller than Claudia Pina?

Have you ever played football against a female before? Or watched Co-ed or Soccer Aid? The female players get manhandled, outpaced, and outright bullied in soccer Aid and that’s with old retired footballers

Have you seen what happens when a top 3 women’s national team plays a U15 local football club?

You do realize the World Cup winning U.S women’s national team lost 5-2 to FC Dallas’s U15 academy team right?

Even female footballers agree that the men are on another level.

[spark sandal]

Mmm yeah... Some situations is random.. Sometimes women will jump higher than men and the opposite..

And BTW.. The game is arcade.. Not realistic.. Icons.. Heros aren't realistic because they're not playing now.
Competitive gameplay shouldn't be realistic.. So you will find things that isn't realistic..

And it's normal to women to have more pace.. Because they are not heavy.. No comparing between Kane and Pina.. In pace even if Kane got 99 pace..

[spark sandal]

😂 Don't look at the real life games... Ultimate is arcade not realistic.. You will find realistic in career mode if you want.

But ultimate must be like that..

And not every female are fast.. Renard isn't fast.. But she is like vvd in body type and she is tall..

Maybe you don't use advance defending!? To defend easy

[halcyon swift]

Icons and heroes are fine. Even if they aren’t playing now they played in the past, and those cards are supposed to realistic to how they once played. Once again, it is not normal, even though women are lighter they don’t generate the same power from their legs that men do. Like I said the fastest female footballer has a top speed equivalent to Harry Kane in real life

[halcyon swift]

The point is real football fans want the game to be realistic, not arcade, that’s the entire point of this forum

[halcyon swift]

I do use advanced defending.

Doesn’t mean a 5’2 female should be able to body check a 6’4 grown man…

[halcyon swift]

“Not every female is fast” no female footballer is supposed to be that fast. Like I already said the fastest female footballer in the world clocked a top speed of 33 km/h and the fastest female player in ea fc clocked a top speed of 31 km/h by no means is that fast. The only females putting up comparative speeds to male footballers are female Olympic track sprinters and that’s only across 100m. Let alone in an actual football match.

31 km/h and 33 km/h are terrible top speeds. You’re saying “not every female are fast” (yes I’m quoting your spelling errors too) the fastest female footballers aren’t fast either

That’s my point.

[halcyon swift]

“No comparing Pina and Kane in pace” 32 year old Kane is literally miles faster than Pina in real life

[halcyon swift]

Situations shouldn’t be “random” they should be logical.

[halcyon swift]

The only person in the world who thinks it’s normal for women to be faster than men

[spark sandal]

Play pes or efootball.. If you want realistic game you need slow-motion game like efootball..

Or at least play in career mode.

It's a game.. Game must be fun.. Especially in competitive mode..

Real football is boring and so slow.. Time wasting.. Less attack.. Only defend games..

[spark sandal]

Mmm u just don't know how to defend this Pina.. Pina nerfed already.. And she hasn't this pace like before.

[spark sandal]

In arcade game.. Yeah...

[spark sandal]

😂 Real football is boring and less people is running in counters now.. In the men football too.. You won't find vini run with 99 pace in real football because real Madrid tactics depend on passing game.. So if u want real football.. Vini shouldn't get high pace.. Etc.

This numbers in fc isn't real 100%.

And every event the numbers increases, so if you want real football, then there won't be events or promos or fut birthday with 99 ovr in every state.

But in career mode because it's not competitive... You will find there a real football with slow motion gameplay, with slow speed, and run like Turtle... Etc.

[spark sandal]

In real football there is sometimes that the unexpected things happen..

You will find a Short Player jump and get the ball from vvd as example.. Also short players can dribble easily (like what women do in fc)

Not the logic only work in real football...

[halcyon swift]

This right here. This says A LOT about you

[halcyon swift]

This is a very stupid thing to say. “You won’t find Vini with 99 pace in real football because Real Madrid tactics rely on passing game.. so if you want really football.. Vini shouldn’t get high pace” what does a teams play style have to do with the speed of an individual player?

Although I do agree Vini’s pace should be lower, he’s still pretty fast so why wouldn’t he have high pace?

It shouldn’t be a 95

But it should be around 92

[halcyon swift]

A short player very rarely will jump above and win a aerial dual against someone 6’2+ it’d only happen because the short player threw the tall player off balance or if the tall player didn’t jump for it.

[halcyon swift]

Yes short male players have an easier time dribbling because they can dribble in tight spaces, have a lower center of gravity, smaller feet, better balance, etc. however female footballers let alone small female footballers DO NOT have a easy time dribbling past male defenders

[halcyon swift]

I’m not complaining about stats. I’m complaining about how unbalanced the women are. Nobody wants to play career mode, we want to play online genius.

[halcyon swift]

Never said I couldn’t defend Pina, I said Kane is miles faster than her in real life yet in fc 26 she’s way faster than Kane.

You’re just making random assumptions about my skill level.

[halcyon swift]

This is genuinely all you had to say

These are the type of people defending the movement and balancing it this game lads

People who don’t enjoy real life football

Why are you playing a football game if you don’t actually like football?

[halcyon swift]

OP couldn’t have said it better “you’ve pushed away almost everyone who likes real football.”

Now we’re stuck with people like this guy defending the mechanics and balancing of the game

Imagine catering to the part of your audience that literally doesn’t like Football

Amazing

And hilarious

“Real football is boring” absolute joke

[spark sandal]

Yeah and that what happens in fc.. Most of times short players can't jump and get ball from tall player.. As u said rarely.. That's what I saw in fc....

[spark sandal]

Yes... Maybe sometimes defenders not jump... Idk maybe there is something In thier state prevent them.. (and if you want to compare to real football, there is times that defenders only watch the ball and not jump specially if it's behind them)

[spark sandal]

You just need to find a way to defend girls.. There is a lot of good men too and can dribble easily.. And you need a fast defenders.. 70 defender can't mark a women with 94 pace..

Best pace for defenders from 80.

And don't play in very hight depth and then complain about counter attacks..

That's my thought.. Because I can beat this Pina, and haven't complain about them.

[spark sandal]

As I said to you.. Ultimate mode is arcade.. Real football is something and game is something else..

Game should be fun.. And when ea add women it add it depends on women's leagues.. Not comparing to men.

That's a game... Especially in ultimate... Should have things that isn't real in real football..

If you asked people.. You won't find that they're need a real football.

🤣🤣 The things that I can complain about is the OP AI in squad battle...

[halcyon swift]

Bruv. I’ve seen 5’6 female players consistently win headers over my aerially dominant 6’3 center backs

It’s not just rarely

It depends on what player it is

[halcyon swift]

There’s not a single thing that can stop a 6’4 grown man from jumping over a 5’6 female. Sorry

[halcyon swift]

That’s terrible advice.

A. My defenders are already fast.

B. I’m not changing my tactical structure because my backline doesn’t know how to follow a 5’6 female on counter attacks

C. I’m playing a high line and I’m not just getting caught out on counter attacks. I’m conceding on counter attacks because my 3 man back line thinks it’s a good idea to run to the corner flag instead of marking the oppositions only 2 options

When they’re in a perfectly stable position to defend the counter attacks easily

[halcyon swift]

My point is no woman should have 94 pace in ea fc. No pro female footballer isn’t even remotely that quick

[halcyon swift]

Once again I didn’t say I’m having a hard time defending against girls. I said I’m annoyed with the ridiculous balancing of this game.

I’m annoyed that my 6’4 forward is getting body checked by a 5’3 female.

Is that not reasonable?

I’m annoyed that my 6’3 center backs are losing aerial duels to 5’3 girls for absolutely zero reason

I’m also annoyed with the unrealisticness of their pace

No female who has a top speed of 33 km/h should have 94 pace when the men who have top speeds of 36 km/h have 90 pace or even less…

[halcyon swift]

You’re just deflecting from the fact that the females are unreasonably and unrealistically overpowered in this game

[halcyon swift]

No idea what you meant by that statement as it made no sense due to what seems to be spelling errors. If you meant nobody is asking for realistic gameplay that’s literally what this thread is asking for. I’ve talked in countless other threads and there’s so many people who want more realistic gameplay. It’s only non football fans much like yourself who are defending the arcade gameplay which is horrendous.

It’s ironic how a non football fan is trying to defend the unrealistic nature of the game

It’s the biggest football game in the world. It has the rights to more players, more teams, more leagues than any other football related game in the world. It has more detail than any other football game in the world. It’s the most in depth and popular football game in the world but people want to get mad when 99% of the community hates the game and how unrealistic and terrible the gameplay is

[halcyon swift]

Ea FC is not fun. Everyone says that. The OP of this thread is saying that.

There’s nothing fun about using a 4-5-1, using the same old meta players everybody else uses, sitting with a low block and letting the AI defend for you, and counter attacking whenever you get the ball

It’s poor football at its finest

[halcyon swift]

You’re the only person directing this conversation towards Pina by the way. You’re the one who keeps mentioning her, not me. I’m talking about female players as a whole.

[halcyon swift]

Just stop. You lost all respect and credibility when you called real football boring bud.

[halcyon swift]

99% of the community hates this game but because you don’t, a person who literally doesn’t enjoy actual irl football it’s completely fine. Right?

[halcyon swift]

“Don’t use high depth and then complain about counter attacks” I have every right to when A. All top clubs in real life defend with a high line and do perfectly fine. And B. I’m struggling on counter attacks not because my backline is getting burnt but because they don’t actually want to defend properly. My LCB who is the freest man in the backline and is under the least amount of pressure wants to run to the corner flag while my RCB or RWB is pressuring the ball and I have to try to force my central center back to actually mark the oppositions striker

[halcyon swift]

“Should have things that isn’t real in real football” and why exactly is that?

If it’s a football game

Why add things that are unrealistic and have nothing to do with real football?

All you’re doing is swatting away real football fans

And trying to attract casuals who don’t even enjoy actual football much like you.

Being the best and most realistic football game is what made FIFA/eafc popular and successful in the first place.

The entire fanbase are football fans who enjoy watching and playing football.

Unlike you obviously.

They want to be able to use their favorite teams and favorite players.

Not the same 11 everybody else is using because it’s unbalanced and overpowered.

They want realistic physics and not endless circle dribbling with female players who have no business being on the field anyway.

[spark sandal]

Look at thier stats and headers + the playstyles.. Because it's making different now.

[halcyon swift]

Again.

6’4 center back vs 5’6 female…

[spark sandal]

Like hegerberg from ol lyonnes.. She has playstyle for headers..

[halcyon swift]

Playstyle or not you’re only proving my point.

The fact my defender is nearly an entire foot taller than the female should be more than enough to consistently win aerial duels against said 5’6 female…

[spark sandal]

What's thier tactics.. Because wide back made them go left or right.

[halcyon swift]

Originally had them set to ball playing defender but I changed them to defender to close the gaps as much as possible and they still go out wide for no reason

Meanwhile the center back has 87 defensive awareness…

[spark sandal]

Most of women cards (gold) haven't +90 pace.. Like mens too.. But they must increase it with the time.

[halcyon swift]

I’m aware. But the ones who do are 1000% a problem. And even the ones who have 70 and 80 pace are still a problem.

Female players should have a separate game mode entirely

It makes no sense just dropping them in with the men

And calling it a day

[spark sandal]

Yes they are overpowered in things and bad in other things too.. Like men also.. You have nico Williams like a sonic too.

And vvd with his strong body...

The two side have good and bad things.

But because most people only play with meta things, don't realize it..

[halcyon swift]

I’m aware. VVD is pretty realistically strong. Nico is unrealistically fast, I have no clue as to why he’s so fast

[halcyon swift]

I only use man united players so I don’t fall into this category

As I’m a man United fan.

I also use man united tactics and I have everything man united related.

[spark sandal]

Look.. If you made the game simulate the real football.. Simple it will be bad.

Hope you know what a games is...

That's why pes and other football games is bad than FC, because they're trying to make real football with slow gameplay.

But people play fc because it's more fast gameplay.. Not boring.

And pro who left in previous years returned in the first week of the game because it was fun and fast and defending was all manual.. Counter attacks.. Fast passes.. Incredible dribbling that we miss.. Etc.

So the better will win, specially in defending.. And only noobs who relied on AI defending last years was crying.

[spark sandal]

I don't use meta things 🙂 but most casuals use it because they haven't personality.. And BTW.. They are easy for me.. I play for fun.. Play with my fav players.. Don't mind if I lost if the opponent defend well and play a good game.. And I think spinners are less now.

Pina nerfed.

[halcyon swift]

I have no clue as to what world you’re living in. But if you made a game that simulates football realistically you’d attract more actual football fans. People don’t like PES because of the lack of licensing as well as a far more limited budget.

It’s cool that one pro enjoyed the game and returned but there’s countless others who are fed up with the game and are on the verge of leaving.

[spark sandal]

Because when people talk about girls.. They mean Pina specially 😂.. You won't find someone talk about other girls with there names

[halcyon swift]

Why would people who abused AI defending be crying when AI defending is the current meta?

You’re making zero sense.

[halcyon swift]

That’s because nobody follows the names of female footballers

The only reason why I know Pina’s name is because everybody uses her and won’t keep her name out of their mouths

Whenever you watch a video on ea fc

Pina gets mentioned at some point

For whatever reason

Whenever there’s a thread on the fc discord server or in general just talking about fc someone usually mentions her at some point

[spark sandal]

Mmm in real football it will take a lot of minutes to make a shot to the goal.. Or attack BTW, only passes passes, fouls... Maybe the match between Portugal and Armenia 😂 I feel it's like fc.. Fast game..

[halcyon swift]

Depends on the style of play.

Anyone who watches football knows different managers have different styles of play

[spark sandal]

No I enjoy watching Cr7.. And Portugal.. And arkema league and champions (men & womens)

[halcyon swift]

Right. Because you’re a casual.

Who just likes Ronaldo.

[spark sandal]

I'm playing in old Gen bro.. Maybe you guys have more problems in the game... Delay and something like that.... So I talk in my experience.

Maybe most people hate it because of this reasons, maybe AI Def is good there.. But old Gen they're nerfed very bad.

[halcyon swift]

Well I along with most other people are playing on new gen

The meta in new gen is to sit with ur cam or cdm while you let the AI close down the opposing player for you

When you try to close down manually you get punished by the AI’s idiotic defensive awareness and positioning

[halcyon swift]

Maybe if you watched the EPL you wouldn’t think football is boring.

[spark sandal]

I play with ball playing Def too.. It's not something different than defender.. They just They Moving Forward on the field when building the offense a little bit on their own.

But defender don't..

[halcyon swift]

That’s what I thought so it’s just the AI’s IQ

[spark sandal]

Hope ea will fix it.

[spark sandal]

Maybe in next year.. Try to get used to it now.

😂 But it will be so bad..

[halcyon swift]

I do too. It’s so annoying when a 3 on 2 counter attack becomes 2 on 2 because one of your center backs decides he wants to take a water break.

[halcyon swift]

True. Nobody would play a women’s only game mode unless there were some really good rewards.

[spark sandal]

Great, now play for fun.. Not stress 😂... Make some skills.. Fancy passes..

You won or lose, it doesn't effect ur life, but sure play for win and fun in same time.

Me as example I only love to tiki take, passes.. Don't score with the same thing..

Crossing..out of the box shots.. Dribble.. That's why game are for fun..

[halcyon swift]

I only enjoy playing Amorim ball and actually playing like man united

[spark sandal]

In Early access version.. There was no AI Def.. So noobs cried to make AI defending Return.. That's why you find people now want AI Def to be nerfed.

[halcyon swift]

Before we had Amorim I was playing Ten Hag ball and I was in D3 with a non meta man united side in seasons while benching Bruno and cooking with a 50 rated Kobbie Mainoo

So I don’t think it’s a skill issue.

[halcyon swift]

Yeah the defending was pretty solid in the beginning of the game

[spark sandal]

The goats.

[halcyon swift]

Varies by opinion. If Ronaldo stayed in the epl longer he’d be my goat.

[spark sandal]

Yeah that was happen to me before the last patch.

[halcyon swift]

If I’m not mistaken he’s scored something like 465 tap one and over 150 pens

But I still see him as the greatest winger of all time (because of 08)

[spark sandal]

I watch.. But not all games.. Watching Liverpool because I want them to lose 😂

[halcyon swift]

Nothing more fun than watching Liverpool lose besides watching man united win

[halcyon swift]

A lot of the teams play a entertaining high level brand of football

[spark sandal]

You play with CDM? One or 2

[halcyon swift]

Outside of Arsenal and City

[halcyon swift]

I play a 3-4-2-1

[spark sandal]

I like man united too..

[halcyon swift]

EA wasn’t smart enough to realize the midfield pivot are supposed to be CDMs and not just CMs…

[spark sandal]

Mmmm 3 defenders.. Why not 4

[halcyon swift]

Put it’s supposed to be 2 CDMs

[halcyon swift]

Because that’s not Amorim ball

And the wingbacks still come back on defense

So we often end up having 4 or 5 back anyway

[spark sandal]

If u play with cm.. Just make them box to box.

[halcyon swift]

I have one set to holding and the other to deep lying playmaker

When I set them both to box to box they run out of position

Too much

I only really need one advancing up the field at a time while the other is back

[spark sandal]

Try to make one player play as CDM.. With center back role, you will find him with the defense too.

[halcyon swift]

I have two CAMs as well who are very helpful in the midfield

[halcyon swift]

Yeah that’s what I try to do. That’s Amorim ball.

[spark sandal]

What about try the 451 flat formation 😂

3 cm.. Make 2 of them box to box.. And one playmaker

Lm and rm balanced.. To back with u in defense.

[halcyon swift]

A. I hate using the same old meta formations everyone uses.

B. The 3-4-2-1 is stable everywhere except the backline because they defend like they have 2 brain cells.

C. I only want to play Amorim ball, nothing else. A 4-5-1 is not Amorim ball.

Like I said I only want to play like man united

[spark sandal]

BTW.. It depends on what players you have and thier positions...

I only use it because I have good 3 CM and I hate to play with CDM because I played with it from fc 25..

Not because it's meta, I was playing 443(3) before because I was playing with pogba as CDM.

[halcyon swift]

Why do you hate to play with CDMs?

[halcyon swift]

All 3 of them are center backs soooo…

[spark sandal]

😂😂 I can say something that may be make you angry..
(I play with a women team most of times) only arkema league... And that's because I like thier players 🫠 specially OL lyonnes and karchaoui ♥️

[halcyon swift]

I don’t have a problem with female footballers in themselves

There’s some serious female ballers out there

But I just hate how unbalanced they are

[spark sandal]

🙂 hope new Gen be like old Gen in next patch.

I feel that's the problem.

I see it's balanced in old Gen.

And saw people say it's slow there..

[halcyon swift]

How does the AI act on defense (in terms of position and awareness, not in terms of closing down) on old gen? Do they defend like they have some sense?

[spark sandal]

Yeah.. They are in thier places, and move good in the box.. There is no huge gap there.. Yes counter attacks are there and it's hard but I can handle it by marking the player by myself.. Not AI..

Wingbacks are great in attacking and defending.

[halcyon swift]

😪

Must be nice

[halcyon swift]

The thing about marking the forward by yourself is that you have to rely on the AI to close down the ball carrier which I don’t enjoy

[spark sandal]

And there is no delay too 🫠 it's just near to early access gameplay.

[halcyon swift]

And that’s what a lot of people complain about but at least you’re not sitting on a CDM or something, you’re technically still defending manually

[spark sandal]

It's good to be a skill gap there.. manual Def.. Sure AI Def is trying to close the gaps.. But it's not perfect so you should do it by yourself.. Because it's a mental game.. Just to read how the opponent will pass.. Etc.. Ai can't do that

[spark sandal]

Yes it's more manually in old Gen.. AI nerfed.. Meaning they're not anticipating like before or tackle by itself..

You can score easily if the opponent left the controller 😂 which was hard before

[halcyon swift]

Tbh I preferably tell the AI to man mark my using the double tap R1/RB system

[spark sandal]

I saw less people use only CDM...

[halcyon swift]

Yeah it’s pretty annoying when the opponent is idle and his AI is locking you down but I usually find a way anyway

[spark sandal]

Yes that's good and there is nothing wrong with it I use it too.. With LB, RB and maybe in counter attacks.. So AI try to mark player and I manual Def..

But AI in second man press isn't op too.. Like before... It only mark the run.., which is good..

[halcyon swift]

Yeah it’s kind of mind boggling that the AI has zero reading of the game (defensively) when it comes to anything outside of closing down defenders

[halcyon swift]

Yeah. I have a bit of conflicting interests because the game is 11v11 it doesn’t make sense to me for the AI to be doing absolutely nothing without me telling them to which usually comes to bite me in the butt. But I also enjoy defending manually

[spark sandal]

I like them to not be op.. Only position well and then let manual Def work.. So I cut the ball by myself..

If the AI anticipate and tackle and cut everyball.. It will be boring.. Like it was for me before the patch

[halcyon swift]

Yeah I don’t want it tackling and cutting every ball for me. Unless it genuinely makes no sense for it not to.

Like if the player is right next to them

And they just let the player run past them if I’m not able to switch in time

[spark sandal]

BTW.. Inside the box they're little do there work.. That's normal.. And yeah they also they can take a ball from someone near.. Or from a wrong pass.. This normal things.

But before they was cut everything.. And close every gap and run and tackle and jockey hard by themselves..

😂 Return to old Gen to experience the good game.

[halcyon swift]

Lol

I just might

[spark sandal]

Good luck bro ♥️ sleeping now Goodnight
