Passing??

Champs is supposed to be the best in this game and I can't tell who is truly amazing at this game. Every single opponent I play has the exact same set up. At least 10 games & I'm not exaggerating were against Van Dijk + Saliba sitting in a low block while my opponent just moves his keeper around. 

Literally just giving up possession while I pass 50 times to break down 8 men in the box. The amount of games I played where the possession skewed 65% my way to 35% there's was ridiculous. The tackles for them were 6 tackles 1 won at the end of 90 mins, you might say interceptions but they didn't have interceptions that beat me. How is anyone who is playing like that turning the game into a low scoring coin flip? 

@RadioShaqsWhy are we supposed to care about pros? I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep if they bailed on the game tomorrow. Good. Maybe we'd get a fun game again.

great ea who make a beautiful game, like a football game, a very poor poor game with the shameful use of momentum : precision of shot and passage degrade, choise of new controlled player is dealyed and wrong the one choised ... contrast where win with an inexplicable lucky reaction time of players is dilated etc etc ....the momentum's orgia..if this is the behaviour of ia i think the ia progrmmers have a real intelligence a little bit  less synapse connections.. have fun

@RadioShaqs  The ones ruining this game are people like you with comments like “nerf skills.” Are you serious? Skills are already messed up, and it’s nowhere near as fast as it used to be. Even when you do a skill move, the player still feels slow and can’t dribble or sprint right after. Even the hardest skills, if you do them, just make you look silly on the field because the gameplay is slow. Most opponents, when you do skill moves, are just standing still, waiting, as if they say, “okay, what now?” They know they’ll get the ball because the skills are slow, and the players' speed is just bad overall.

Honestly, I feel like most of the people commenting on the topic don’t know how to play and have found a bad game that suits them, or they just want to ruin it even more. What realism are you talking about? The game is just bad all around. Passing is bad, the AI pressure is way too strong, and you can’t move, dribble, run, or even breathe. Long through balls are terrible, especially on the PS5 version. This game has cheaters everywhere—tons of them. The game itself is broken and not fun. Anyone enjoying this version has to be a beginner because there’s no way a skilled player would enjoy the stupidity this game offers right now.

@RadioShaqsThe 99 pace in the game is just ink on paper; it’s not something we see on the field. If the slowest defender can suddenly speed up and catch the fastest attacker in the game and take the ball from him, then the passing is just bad overall. Did you see how the crosses are? Did you see how the long balls are? They stay in the air for a long time. I mean, if there are 4 real players, especially in the clubs mode, all pressing you in one spot, you’re supposed to be able to play a long ball away from them and surprise them to keep the attack going. But now, if you play a long ball or a cross, the ball hangs in the air like a balloon, and because of that, all the players can easily get back to their positions before the ball even reaches my teammates. It’s just funny!

So the point is, why can’t we control the speed of the ball in the air like we do with ground passes?"
