Press, press, press, press……..

There’s no skill, no tactics, no epic moment of magic there are like three things you need to do to win. High press, learn how to score from corners and whatever edge of the box flick up to shot with a ridiculous over head kick that lobs the keeper is currently meta. That’s it. The game has degenerated into this end to end, high speed, high scoring, button bashing sweat fest. The people who love to play a pressing game are loving it because coupled with the fact you can press all game long with barely any fatigue consequences all you have to do is bash into a player from behind to win the ball back. The tackles from behind are driving me mad. It’s genuinely a surprise if they get blown a foul. What makes it even more annoying if you watch the replays you can literally see the tacklers body parts pass though the person they are tackling foot/leg sometimes. There are some games you just can’t retain possession because it’s just bish bash smash from ever angle. I thought I’d see if I could get a massive strong CF and hold the ball up a bit and having 99 physical stats and being massive doesn’t help barely at all! It’s still bash bash tackle from every angle. Yet perfectly legit slide tackles nearly always get blown a foul! You should be able to choose your style of play, get players to suit it, choose tactics and if you loose to someone more skill full fine. But all you gotta do is get your 10 outfield players to leg it around like a pack of rabid dogs and learn how to score overhead kicks with centre backs from corners and you’ll win every time. Pure garbage gameplay with so many glitches you can take advantage of and the inevitability of it all makes it boring, deeply frustrating and less and less like football.

    @carspares12 thats why 95% hang arround in the menues and 5 % with meta players actualy play the game. it sucks.. spamfest,spamtackle, abuse,cheaters.
    yesterday many of my opponents had more tackles than passes. 120 ish tackles with about 15-20 sucsesses...

    100 percent the pressing and being able to smash the slide tackle and glitch the game is horrible but there are literally like a hundred problems with this game.  How was FIFA 16 AND 17 better than any of the games since.  The control is so automated and animated now its like a role playing game.

  • I agree with all you're saying, the press is unbearable and 90% of the time you'll lose not because they are good but because the Ai are instantly on your player and intercepts it or instantly tackles you. Even if you do get the ball because of these tactics they seem stronger than your players and as will some how come out with the ball. When they come out with the ball they'll out pace your def even if yours are faster than their player and most of the time score as your def does not constantly get back to make 10 blocks in a row. The thing is you can accept it  in short spells if when it happens the energy bars go down quite fast, but it don't at the end of the match most of the time they have over half a bar of energy with pressing a whole matc. If you message and say why use these broken stuff they say they don't and are on balanced and offer to send screen shots of tactics ( which you no  aint right because they are less aggressive than your own). they'll also just say your bad but not in those terms. when I got the game it was supposed to be the most passing  build up game with explosive brakes now and then . All opposition I play barley make 80 passes a match you can't build up because of this press and there is no fun in the game. Oh and because I do my defending not like the ones doing the pressing game, I get so many fouls yellows and reds yet because their ai is tackling for them and it looks 10 times worse than your fouls/tackles they barley give away a free kick. EA need to balance this out  for the next one , so you have to do some defending yourself and you can press hard for short periods  but see your energy bar take a significant hit and not press the whole match , I think that's how it worked in they beta of this one ? Also take out half the crappy animations as they do nothing for the game other than frustrate you.
