Skill moves Spasms Spam
Skill moves are ruining this game worse than Infantino ruining Fifa. When was the last time you've seen a ball roll performed in EFIGS top divisions or the World Cup?
The problem is that the animation of the skill move is about 2-3 times faster than that of their acceleration, leaving defenses no time to adjust. Skill takes time. If you watch Ronaldinho perform his crazy moves, he slows down the game and thinks about what moves to execute before doing so.
If you truly want to make a more realistic game and you advertise that this year is more realistic, than you'd limit skill moves to ball flicks in the air and eliminate more than 75% of these ridiculously spas animations for a smoother and more authentic experience.
I do appreciate the new ricochet moves and unpredictability of loose balls which is definitely trending in the right direction. I hope there is more of that to come.
