Nobody asked for the GK's to be nerfed into the ground to give us the impression that attacking has improved.
All they needed to do was improve positioning. Nerf 50 yard long through balls. Create a passing system that correlates with user input & not whatever the game just decides because reasons. Regains nerfed. Rebounds completely broken, fix them. Do something about tackle spamming, A.I. defenders gliding like skiers into perfect defensive positions. Do something about players with low defensive stats playing like Prime Maldini.
They have definitely rolled back a-lot of the first patch. I have untradeable TOTY Hansen & in a foot race she was being bodied by defenders with 20 less pace with or without the ball. She just feels no different than any other attacking player I have in my team. What's the point?
The mode is dead. It's not competitive. It completely luck based. Most goals scored & conceded are off the back of some pathetic rebound, high pressure regain or just spamming long through balls until you get through. There's no real strategy. No individuality. It's gotten to the point where I'm questioning whether or not I'm playing humans or bots. Match after match of the same style of gameplay, rinse & repeat. More often than not you feel like you're playing against the game itself because it just decides randomly you can't move your players, this player will run at half speed, this player will just suddenly glide backwards out of position, the backline will just open up and run out of position, ball will constantly deviate towards the opposition on a rebound, lets switch players who are nowhere near the ball, switch you automatically even though you have manually switching on etc.
It's fake garbage & it's transparent more than ever this year.
