Since EA can’t sort out weird exploits in the game (like trivelas, VVD corners etc…), This is absolutely the RIGHT way to go. If u weight the game towards Defense being OP, bugs/exploits and RNG are gonna have a huge impact (I actually thought that was what EA wanted to keep kids playing). I’m positively surprised they went this way. So many things are still in need of fixing, but way to go EA for once!
They are actually taking a huge risk doing this (but I think it’s the right move long term). Increasing skill gap will maybe alienate kids buying cards. We should appreciate this! En mass!!

This is the best update to a FIFA game for years. Game was in the saddest state of any FIFA since I started in 2016….props to EA for actually putting in the effort. I thought they would shelf any changes until fc26. I’m really shocked people don’t like this update. I’m even enjoying games I end up losing.

After the update, defense became almost manual, and the AI doesn’t defend for them anymore. Plus, slow defenders now struggle to keep up with attackers who are way faster than them.
That’s why they don’t like it, but for me, I think it’s great and a step in the right direction. However, the game still needs full control over the players, faster dribbling, and less delay in skill moves. Passing also needs improvement. If they fix these things, the game would be amazing.- RadioShaqs11 months agoHero
@Manso0rrYou can’t control ever defender. It’s not about not defending it’s about offense taking no skill now.
What I don’t understand is one of the worst fifas was just like this and everyone complained enough ea changes it.
It was the year when all everyone did was twirl with attackers and ping pong passed. The only way to defend was put attackers or fullbacks into cb roles. Sound familiar to this year?
That’s when ea made pace less important and did accelerate body types. You can’t have defenders be useless like they are now.
