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

How can this be a sim when all premier cards have +15 pace than the real players actually in real life lol. From that point onwards it's stupid to talk about it being faithful to reality, I agree it's just a game and games are meant to be fun, not boring. Not square and dull.

This blue166 guy doesn't seem to have played the newest patch. Try both things in this new patch first.

I see what you guys are saying.

I may have read the first post a little to quickly in a rush and replied without double checking what you were referring too.

I thought I read that the Jerky stick dribbling was toned down. My bad.

Though I would still go with the representation (within reason of a sim) 

To the other poster about UT cards and stat boosts etc... - My point exactly is that UT is arcade.

I am a Seasons player hence the want for sim like football. The occasional 0-0 isn't a bad thing. Same with tight low scoring games.

Winning Eleven/PES did have a loser dribbling mechanic but it didn't destroy defending. PES 6 was almost perfect. If it wasn't for the edge of the box shot and Adriano.

P.S I have played since the patch.

But I get where you are now coming from.

I am glad you can see what is evident, it shows that you are not short minded and hopefully EA will see this and act, because there isn't anything on their media about this.

It is not worse, it is just way more difficult to execute efficiently, I have learnt that PROPER USE of all these categories (left stick(LS), analog sprint, and the right stick(RS)) properly allows you to make more accurate, faster and intricate dribbles.

To ask what I mean by PROPER USE is that the first category to understand how to proper use of the left stick brings in two parts, the first is to learn how to push the left stick slightly to gain more control over the ball which makes sense because to learn to push the LS slightly consistently shows you have control over your LS because it is much harder to push the LS slightly compared to pushing the stick all the way out where the control barrier is preventing you from further going out compared to preventing yourself from pushing the control further out, second part is to learn how and when to click your LS this activate your players balance and plants themselves to the spot more so you are harder to push off the ball but its effectiveness is have dependent by how much you push the left stick out. Second you understand how to deaccelerate and accelerate with analog sprint on you can make more control turns just like when you race a car. Thirdly is to know how to make micro knock ons by slightly flicking the right stick.

When you learn how to combine these with your binary dribbling inputs (Strafe dribbling and controlled sprint) and agile dribbling you can develop much more controlled dribbles.
