New patch and no one word about the unfair rebounce?
Atleast they manage to play the game and see how tackleback ruin every match, and super fast defender outrun player with massive point pace difference.
Maybe no more Stam out-running Vinicius jr,maybe.🤣🤣🤣
- Tauntmatt7 months agoRising Veteran@RadioShaqs It'll be fine. 99 pace attackers wit 15 defense will still be able to tackle like Prime Maldini, play like box to box midfielders like Lothar Mathaus & spam 3 tackles in a row without losing momentum.
- RadioShaqs7 months agoHero@Tauntmatt People will have to go back to fullbacks at cb and attackers in the midfield so you are not wrong. I don’t know why ea would boost pace. It will be back to through ball after through ball.

Seriously guys... Aren't these things that should have been developed and tested BEFORE you start selling a game? We're 4 months after release date of a game with a life expectation of only 12 months and it's still far from finished 🙄. This feels like having surgery and being send home with the message: we'll stitch you back up later 🤦
- Tauntmatt7 months agoRising Veteran@RadioShaqs I get hit with loads of through balls, especially when I'm in on goal & there's a rebound/gk save/block and they get the ball, they just hit these long range through balls instantly.
I'd nerf long through balls, solve tackle spamming, buff manual tackling for actual defenders, boost positioning (they just run offside all the time, it's annoying), fix the keepers, nerf high pressure/auto tackling team mate contain if it was me rather than just boosting Pace. - xX8Pietro8Xx7 months agoSeasoned Veteran
@RadioShaqsfrom the pitch patch looks like the problem is only when defender catch an attacker with 15+pace point. The reality is that the slow down is affect the game and allmthe player . In same game you can see from kick off if your player are going to run or they will walk all match.
Doesnt matter if you are going to slow down defender catch up by 15% if in any other part of the field opponents will teleport on you while you cant move and all your input will arrive with a 2 sec delay(pass,clearence,body turns,everything)
Dont tell me this is lag : - xX8Pietro8Xx7 months agoSeasoned Veteran
go to have a look at fifa road to world cup 98, looks how rb and lb deals against counter attacks.
There was no FC IQ at that time but the winger controlled by cpu always come close to the penalty area.
In 2025 with FC IQ rb and lb instead on going center they move to the side line for no reason(basically to have the basic IQ of a defender in fifa 98 now you need to have a defender with 85+ overall minimum,below that just forget it,no brain founded)
- Tauntmatt7 months agoRising Veteran@xX8Pietro8Xx My main gripe comes from not being able to pick the ball up in the middle of the pitch and move from danger, these gliding defenders seem to ice skate into position and put these long, stuttering tackles in where they can adjust they bodies in a milli-second to steal the ball. Plus tackles where short attacking players can wrap their legs around the front of you and steal the ball clean.
People are putting in 70 plus tackles and winning 4/6 yer somehow games are still close.
It's ridiculous they wat defense has been implemented. They need to find a balance between attack and defense, not make one side of it lopsided to paper over the cracks in the game. - RadioShaqs7 months agoHero@xX8Pietro8Xx That’s what I mean it will get patched soon they already said that. Like taunt and I said it will ruin the game as defenders will become useless again. It will be like the old fifas lob lob lob and pace pace pace. Might as well use attackers at CB.

this is what i said long time ago about changing the engine. As long they keep using this one we will stay in this limbo where nothing is fixed. Is just a recicle of things were they add 1 things,they delete it after few patch and add it back again. How many time we sow trivela shot outside box added and deleted in the last couples of years?

Even if I'm probably going to make myself unpopular now: Today's patch is great.
Tackles from behind no longer happen. The attacker doesn't constantly win the ball back from the defender and fast offensive players are no longer caught up as much by the AI.
These are all changes that I think are very good.
Playing soccer is also more rewarded by the patch because the passes now arrive much better and the AI makes good offensive runs.
So far I'm fairly happy.

@xX8Pietro8XxI don’t think it’s the engine as the older fifas on a different engine was much worse. It was all pace and lobs.when people say those years was the worst fifa they were right. That was the lby years. They have actually improved the game since but if they try to bring pace back it won’t help. They basically buffed offense which is what needs to be manual and take skill.
Just watched boras stream. He said defending is very hard now and you need 85 plus pace cbs minimum. It doesn’t look good if this is the way it will be for the rest of the year.

The patch from my initial impressions at least has improved this game a lot. A.I. dependent players have been completely rugged pulled. Attackers aren't destroying your attacking plays by gliding offside. Tackling with CB's seems to have improved. That annoying animation where the attacker would stumble into you and regain the ball is gone. Passing especially short is robust.
No it's not more sweatier. It was sweaty before with high pressure on the backline and jammy stumbling regains, defense splitting rebounds.
Good job EA.

this is how the game supposed to be at the release, unfortunately the game was so bad that i put the ps5 back on the box. Maybe in couple of days i will find motivation to come back and post some new bug XD.

I think nick said it best you don’t need any of the manual settings anymore for offense as they made the game to easy again. He likes it but that’s because streamers like broken arcade offense. It’s pretty disappointing to go backwards.
Of course he had al owairan back on a corner and was barely able to catch the attacker when he had a head start. His first thought was he might need to put him at cb. He might have been joking but not really we will see people start to do it.
You was right in saying attackers will be used since pace is broken.
- Tauntmatt7 months agoRising Veteran@RadioShaqs The attack had been nerfed into the ground on release. It was completely linear. I've been played nearly every Champs weekend since release and when you look at how your opponents set up and play, what the most common goals were, what was effective it was horrible..
Like 1/10 people I played would actually try to approach the match like a football match. The rest were all doing the following without fail:
1. Sitting 20 ft away from the play and holding contain.
2. High pressure insano tackling from forwards on the backline.
3. If you played out of the press, the defense, the entire defense would outrun your attacking frontline and park themselves in front of the keeper.
4. They'd get a rebound, gk spillage, ping a random through ball over and over until one got through.
5. Put in random tackles, totaling sometimes over 60 per match with single digit tackle wins.
6. Spamming jockey.
7. Attackers were PURPOSELY destroying simple attacking opportunities by gliding offside.
8. Nearly every goal scored or conceded, came not from skill but some form of defensive luck (magnetic rebound, stuttering attackers regaining the ball, passes going the wrong direction for interception etc.) - Tauntmatt7 months agoRising Veteran
It was crap. You couldn't even move up the middle, you had to hit passes up the wings all games & hope for the best. While you're attacking playing was slowing down "preparing" for the ball land, defenders could sprint unimpeded by this mechanic, full speed put in crazy tackles.
It was a mess dude.
- RadioShaqs7 months agoHero@Tauntmatt It’s a full on mess now. Might as well forget about realism now. If the pros play in this version next week we might see double digit scores because it’s so broken. It will look like a basketball game.
- Tauntmatt7 months agoRising Veteran@RadioShaqs What's realistic about defenders lunging in full speed, recovering instantly & wrapping their leg around the front of your player before you can even move forward?
What's realistic about Neywar sprinting in full speed, crouching in front of you & zig zaging shadowing your every movement while your opponent is sitting back away from the play?
Putting in 3 tackles per second and losing no momentum.
I'm running with a fast player, the defender stops briefly, then turbo boosts and catches them within a second.
I used to play Tennis at as a kid at a semi professional level and I'd sit here and laugh at the defensive movements in this game. Even at my fittest I couldn't lunge in, recover, turn and hit full sprint instantly like this. - RadioShaqs7 months agoHero@Tauntmatt What’s realistic about basketball score lines. Putting 99 pace attackers at cb because offense can go 10 1on 1 through balls. No needing for manual offense. I mean I get easy offense sells games but we need a skill gap. You should actually have to break down the defense not just run by everyone. I get that streamers like the unrealistic gameplay they don’t care about football.
- Tauntmatt7 months agoRising Veteran@RadioShaqs I agree. But the play the ball was too slow for how dynamic the defense was.
And there was no basketball scores. At least for me. 3-1, 4-3 and I qualified today. All I noticed is passing was better, tackling was better and you could move away from defenders. My Renard still caught their sweaty forwards.
Champs I just played had basketball scores from stupid jammy goals. - Tauntmatt7 months agoRising Veteran
What's manual about holding a button down and letting the A.I. win the ball for you? Or having your A.I. glide without even moving their legs and tackle you from impossible angles? There's nothing manual about this.
I'm constantly switching players, looking for defenders to switch to to, to shut down their opportunities or time a good tackle only to have this game punish me with a stupid animation while my opponent sits 20 ft away from the ball and lets his A.I. do everything.
- RadioShaqs7 months agoHero@Tauntmatt I mean we basically never had games that went 0-0 like a realistic game. Defense was never that op. Now you might as well forget about realistic score lines. Offense was always better than defense. Now it’s just on another level. I mean if we see combined scores of 20 plus in the pros who are the best defenders in the world I wouldn’t be surprised it’s that bad right now.

only ea fc game, and you say about 99 pace ? 99 pace mean max pace they should almost impossible to catch by 80 sprint defender , and now how about banning double square? how about when you defend the ball but defender still can catch the ball on feet?
- drawxdraw237 months agoRising Scout
