Offense Meta is ruining strategic gameplay

You just *snip* play 4213 and run in wing, do a pinged pass in the middle, ball roll over and through to striker and goal. How on earth EA thought that's the way to design the game. I have never seen anyone doind a ball roll over and playing a pass in real life. People like me who actually want to play a build up game cant play it anymore. And guess what EA is not the only culprit, the community cried for such gameplay when it was a build up based gameplay in start. Everyone wanted goals to fulfill their addiction where they can run and abuse pinged passes and now every game is going 10 goals ore more. My opponents would have 30% possession and 50 passes but would be scoring and taking shots from anywhere. This is just a *snip* game. And the FUT community is the *snip*. I spoke to a guy that how do you enjoy playing like you play and he said "I gotta do whatever to win, I am not here to enjoy", tells me the state of this community and why everyone is so after wins where it doesnt give you anything

    I get your frustration, there has been so much emphasis put on attacking, that the defensive side of the game has been non existent, and with this latest update it has become worse. Ball rolls, skill moves and this annoying twist and turns are overused as the defensive side is just slow and useless, my defensive players are looking like mere spectators...and the worst part of this is the barging of players off the ball and rebounds.

    The initial build up play was the best thing they could have implemented, but as usual development and updates just messed everything up. 

  • People like easy passing and high scoring games. You really can’t blame ea for listening to the community. I don’t like the more unrealistic arcade gameplay. Each patch they buff offense and nerf defense making it worse. 

    I just get on and play a couple rush games  here and there as it’s so unbalanced. 

    I used toty evo saliba and babajide and she was the better defender just because of her pace. Pace shouldn’t be that important. 

    They really need to make offense manual nerf passing and pace. This would make a larger skill gap and bring balance back to the game. I just don’t see the community wanting it as ea has already said the majority liked the refresh update.

    I won every single game in rivals (ok 95%), after this last patch did not any!
    No matter what, i will never play the game as ea wants, running like cheetahs, breaking opponents legs... i keep this joy for kids.
    For unrealistic game there was rush, now the complete UT is a joke
    well done ea!!!

  • I don’t understand why they balance pace add the new accelerate and then allow offense to be so fast with the ball. Right now the only semi balance is making defenders all 99 pace. I don’t understand why they make slower defenders with 99 defense unusable.
