Can EA do something about the Over the Top Through Ball/Crossing Simulator that Pro Clubs has turned into? Its getting ridiculous now, no team plays the game, all they do is toss it over the top or r...

I agree crossing is way too overpowered, but I have some points to make about that.
1) you're only noticing how OP crossing is in clubs compared to 1 player modes because in clubs you have a 2nd player running on to the cross. In co op , crosses are also OP. Having the 2nd human run on to it and not just hope the ai controller striker makes a goof run are two totally different things.
Basicslly, crossings always going to be good in clubs bevause of the nature if the multi player.
2) dribbling is also way OP. While constant crossing is actually a tactic teams will do (ever seen a team 1-0 down on 85 mins ? They start pumping crosses in)., dribbling like a circus monkey around 4 players is unheard of.
Ever since fifa 12 and they took out the hold A/X (on PS) defence charge , and put in "tactical defending " , marking a player 1 v 1 is just insanely too difficult. It is way, way too easy to get skinned and it's just tedious after a while. It also encourages selfish players who don't pass.
3) LB + Y over the top thru balls are NOT overpowered this year, or the last few years. In fact, they've been totally nerfed and often aren't even worth bothering with. I don't know hown anyone could say the LB Y is OP this year when it clearly isn't.
4)passing in general is bad now in FIFA. The amount of midfield interceptions is utterly insane (roughly 20x in any one match than what they are in real life)
It almost feels like the Canadians (?? Such a soccer nation!) Who made this game were reearding dribbling and punishing passing. It feels like you're encouraged to dribble.
For example the "sweaty pass"(why is it called sweaty btw? The whole community has this toxic mindset that passing is somehow bad and solo Messi dribbles around entire opponent team is what football is about )
The sweaty pass is actually kind of difficult. The ball travels really slow and the opponent has plenty time to block the pass. It's also tricky to find the exact right pass.
Passing in the enemy box in general is really difficult. Simple passes suddenly go mu ch slower and inaccurate.
Why Buff crosses and finesse shots and dribbling and why nerf power shots, simple passing and passing in the box ?
Who really knows.
