The fact that you say its a game of skill just proves your not playing it. Im guessing you heard this from your boss and just keep on repeating it like its true
Community ManagerIf u say so.
it seems more like a defending simulator now. Game is a pain to play. Player AI is just horrible. Tactics on this game will affect how your players react. and with that i mean speed wich is just crazy.
if i play 433 my players will be fast against some formations, but on other formations they feel slow and sluggish.
Players dont make room. just standing close to defenders ready to be tackled if u pass the ball. oh and when i tackle the ball goes back to him, tackle again back to him and so on.
Defenders dont press up or understand offside. they fall back and create space to opposition. In fact game is so bad the defending AI is the one who creates the chances for opposition.
So... A normal match for me is pretty much pressing the opponent for 95% of the time having 10 chanses. XG ratio like 4:1 to me and me loosing after my defenders either decide to push up no matter what setting i use. Either he just pass to F.ex Saka on the wing and goes sthraight thru my defender and then runs 50 meteres clear ontowords goal and scores. Or one of my CB will decide to drop deep and create buckets of space for his attackers to run into. Like seriously...WHY.
Even kids understand offside, but clearly thats to hard to make your 95 rated defender understand. Either its on purpose or its just horrible coding or game engine.
Seriously, my best matches is when im not even trying. just messing about not even trying too win. Like the game is punishing you for attacking. its better if you just mess around and get the ball and counter.
Cause if u actually try to play this u will be punished.
At the end of the match its like u all of a sudden dont have anyone open to center too either. like the game wants u to lose the ball so opponent can win it and counter in a late goal.
Such great gameplay! Its like someone who never watched football but only heard about it coded this. And thats not ment to be rude. thats really how it seems!
Im not even going to comment the crossing and stay away from center or even the fact that evryone only use one tactic cause tactics are so hard coded that it decides there running lanes.
But the game also cheats. My player f.ex will not turn where i want or gain enough speed for a second. or they move away to let the opposition take ball.
And tackles in this game! Im not going to go into it, i figure we all know how terrible they are! Like seriously, how could this be released in this state!
Player switching is horrible...
I would actually say that only players without skill think this is good and would be unable to see how bad this game is.
There shouldnt be custom tactics in the game at all. As long as they are people will have a Meta and find weaknesses in game engine.
Skill based games shouldnt be about who can exploit the META the best...
But if u say its skill based i respect u for beliving it. Even if i dont. But one last thing... Not all games are skill. Most yes.. But some are just luck. What skill do u need to win a lottory? Besides money like this game
