Stop making patches based on the complaints of players who are 💩 at the game

[warm saddle]

All these patches are ruining the game in one way or another.

Nerfing goalkeeper movement is silly because regardless of how much work is required to reach a goalscoring opportunity, its a skill to move the keeper correctly. It happens in real life too. Now, the goalkeepers are basically statues and can’t save anything at all unless its shot directly at them, which makes no sense. If anything there were situations on the previous patch (before today), where the goalkeepers were making saves on the goal line and then spilling the ball for an attacker to run onto.

R1 dribbling never needed changing.

AI defending has been boosted too much, to the point where in games affected by terrible servers, they help the player way too much and you’re punished for manual defending. This shouldve been kept to the level that it was at the start of the game where a higher level of manual defending was required.

Shot cancelling has also been nerfed when it didnt need to be.

All these things have been removed because you’ve been listening to division 5 players crying about not being able to learn these skills.

The only thing that needing changing from the OG release were the corners which were slightly overpowered and kick off “glitch” which was definitely too much.

Now, theres also the most stupid bouncebacks where no matter how many times you tackle the opponent the ball falls back to them. This never existed at the start of the game.

Apart from that you had a solid game, which has now been ruined due to all these patches.

GK movement = skill less skill

[spice oracle]

is it “skilless” or is it a skill make ur mind up

smartest arsenal fan 😂😂😂😂

[untold crescent]

its a skill that dosesnt require any actual skill for a football simulation game

ppl who want it back are your typical drop back 451 abusers who only control your cdm. Little timmies and andies who want ea to hold their hand and create a game that allows them to get wins vs ppl like me who actually have a football brain and can create opportunities through quick passing and creating space. If ppl like you had to actually control your CBs to make tackles you would leave the game so fast. But dont worry EA will always cherish ppl like you bc your the type who spends money on the game

no passion, no love for football

just addicted to opening packs and being rewarded for being an abuser

[untold crescent]

that part

[spice oracle]

what are u talking about, u arent even talking about keeper movement

how is MANUALLY moving a keeper not a skill?

[azure ruin]

You just use gk movement to bail you out of bad defending
Cry harder

[spice oracle]

funny considering im a better player when AI defending isnt a thing

so what if a keeper bails someone out anyways? can keepers not make saves irl? 😂😂😂

[untold crescent]

You’re not understanding how it doesn’t make sense to have it in a “competitive” game mode. Should be no such thing as getting “bailed out”

On top of that, 1. we are playing on inconsistent stuck in the mud gameplay

2. I already have to break down your 451 auto AI defend/ only control your cdm with actual football (tiki taka passing) and on top of that you want to be able to move your keeper.

It’s like you guys want everything in your favor to not allow ppl with actual skill to shine

It’s the lack of actual skill that I think makes these kinds of players so mad

Kinda like how some white ppl got no swag or aura (usually the racist ones)

They would do anything to be able to bask in it but they just can’t and that’s OK. You can always try to get better (at fifa I mean) and employ a skillful brand of football.

I know I’m all over the place but in my head it makes sense

[spice oracle]

how is keeper movement bailing out? just because u get past 10 players doesnt mean u get a free goal

remove the AI defending and keep keeper movement

its literally that simple

how can i control every player but not my keeper because it “bails me out”

“Casillas bailed Ramos out for his poor defending, he should have let barca score 10 goals”

see how stupid it sounds

[untold crescent]

That’s real life we are playing a GAME

[spice oracle]

what side are u on

[untold crescent]

a competitive game where if you create a scoring chance you should be rewarded

[spice oracle]

because other people are saying to keep ai defending because its a GAME

[spice oracle]

whats the reward? a guaranteed goal?

[untold crescent]

AI defending = casual gameplay imo

[spice oracle]

ye i agree

its a game but at the same time, why should every chance be a guaranteed goal

[untold crescent]

Competitive gameplay is one where manual defending should be rewarded. Not AI

[spice oracle]

im not saying keeper movement shouldnt be nerfed btw, just not so much like it has been done

[spice oracle]

i agree, im literally a rank 1 player and its the most AI game ever

just revert the game to day 1

minus kick offs and corners

its the issue of priorities, why remove keeper movement when there are 10 bigger issues

[untold crescent]

That we can agree on 🤝

Day 1 revert

[spice oracle]

most fun ive ever had on fifa since i was a kid

and they had to ruin it because people cry over “fidget spinning”

[untold crescent]

True but its a small win for those who felt like the game caters the casuals too much and I get what you’re saying but the solution to over powered low drivens is rewarding manual defending. No GK movement

But rn we’ve gone back to fc 25 where when I tackle my opponent the ball bounces back to his player

[spice oracle]

how does manual defending stop low drivens lmfao

the AI keepers are USELESS which is why keeper movement is needed. If they buff the actual keepers then be my guest and remove keeper movement

[untold crescent]

Bc manual defending is a skill and should be rewarded if I read what a player wants to do

[warm saddle]

Day 1 game was almost perfect apart from kick offs and corners. I just think gk movement isn’t something that shouldve been nerfed, yes i understand your point that you have to work hard to reach a goal scoring position esp with the rats that play 451 and abuse the ai defending but at the same time when you’re defending, there are some shots that the gk shud be saving without moving them and they don’t (not sure why) so for these, gk movement is necessary

Also if you’re not able to read a players gk movement and aim the other way or don’t have the patience to wait a second for the gk movement that’s a skill issue

Yeah it’s a game but if you’re playing champs which is a competitive game mode you can’t be crying about these features which require an element of skill

[spice oracle]

bro, that does not stop low drivens from being op what u talking about

thats like saying manual defending can stop rainbow flick and bicycle kick

if someone takes a low driven shot its going in, even pros cant concede less than 5-6 shots a game

now make keepers useless and 4 of them go in

[untold crescent]

I see what youre saying when it comes to rainbow flicks. The defenders cant lock onto the ball in that scenario however with shots unless something like your player lets the ball go through his legs or positions his body in a certain way where the shot is still able to go through, it should be able to be blocked or well defended.

However i have noticed that i will be in front of my opponents attacker and the shot will still fly by my defender. The block playstyle is most likely needed in those situations which is stupid and so money hungry from EA to make a playstyle needed for every animation in the game

So I can see why the low driven plus shot could be of worry if defenders cant block it bc of animations. What would be needed, block plus perhaps idk anyways its still dumb
