🐀 Tactics

This whole passing the ball back from CB-GK etc from the 80th min when you’re winning by one goal really needs to stop. EA wonder why the FIFA/FC24 gaming community is the most toxic out there - we’ll team there’s your answer. Will you still continue to advertise your product as the ‘most realistic football game ever’ or change your outlook?

    @scumbagshawty Mate it’s the same issue with me no matter what tactics I use. I’ve got my GK (now got Alisson through a reward pack which was a bonus but had been using Pope since launch) set to Comes for Crosses & Sweeper Keeper yet he stays on his line even when my opponent (AI or online) are clean through one on one with him. I then have to press the triangle button to manually control him to come out. It’s beyond infuriating!
  • @riptide_80 I think 83rd/85th minute is fine for timewasting. I don't have a problem with people doing that, it happens in real football. As annoying as it is when people do it, I fully accept it. I very rarely do it because 9 times out of 10 I'm usually the one chasing the game. I sometimes just say to myself "Have your win if it means that much to you". I don't close the game down though, because I have all the time in the world and I am just wasting their time by continuing the game. Sometimes I do the second man press and if that doesn't work I pause for a few seconds and don't chase them at all, sometimes they will see that you aren't chasing the ball and pass the ball up field. I guess they are hoping you have stopped playing and so they think they have an easy chance to score. That's when I do 2nd man press again force them to put the ball out of play and try and carve a chance out of it. I have scored equalisers doing this a few times.

    I played against someone once and they scored early in the first half and thought they could timewaste for the whole match. I managed to get the ball off him and equalise, knowing it was me kicking off first in the second half. As soon as I scored in the second half (not by exploiting the kick off glitch - That needs to be stopped too) "you lost connection to your opponent..." lol

  • Even the offsides are guff. The is always one defender playing strikers on or a striker able to break the offside trap and have half a pitch one on one with the keeper who's game mechanics are broken as they will score from 40 yards or round the keeper like they aren't even there or it will be something really stupid like the ball will come back of the post or bar straight to the opponents forward.... 

    The keepers in the game, commands, help opponents get is disgraceful
