For real, why would you make L1 and L2 + R2 dribbling even worse and slower?

I've always thought FC is way too much of a simulator that it ends being a game with a square, boring gameplay. There is no chaos, no anarchy in it, it's just pass the ball around for no purpose until you find an opening in the AI that ends up opening a space for you and it's been like this for years. In some editions, L1 and L2 + R2 passing has been a good counter to all this square gameplay countering people who put constant high pressure on you by just moving back and horizontally at the same time so you can find an open path to pass the ball constantly changing the diagonal while they chase you like headless chicken. In this last update you've added some weird delay on L1, you have increased the lack of ball control when using it which results in you giving the ball to neuroneless div. 5 sweaty idiots from an akward control animation, and you have added an ending animation that has some weird delay on it where you can't even pass the ball. With this you have successfully removed all traces of possible dribbling aside from unidimensional right stick skills, there is no Maradona style dribbling anymore where you can really trick your opponent with the next direction you'll take. You've dumbed down the gameplay and made pressure even more efficient with this change. L2 + R2 has some weird delay on it and some weird ball control loss as well, both are so slow now they are useless.

Please fix this asap, and more over, make them better than they were before the patch, because right now your game has zero arcade feel to it and is only a dull simulator with sweaties and people who don't defend who you can pass the ball around and score stupid unsatisfying goals to. And before anyone says it's delay, I tested both on Squad Battles and noticed how uneffective they are now. Why would you make your game even more unidimensional and remove the only thing that allows people to apply intelligence to it?

    @OfentseTsoka I would also say that it is more rewarding now when executed properly. It was made too easy before and no thought went into dribbling. It was just dribbling all the down the pitch and Jerky movement. EA needed to tighten it up and make it an actual skill to pull off.

    It is much better now. If you know you know.

    It does still work but more skill needed to pull off.

    And as I said before. The game is a sim rightly so.
