Long shots lost power and visual realism after update

The latest update significantly changed long shots. Shots from distance now appear unnaturally slow or balloon-like, reducing both realism and excitement. Long shots were already rare and diffic...

After additional Squad Battles matches, the issue remains very noticeable.
Long shots feel significantly weaker and visually unnatural compared to pre-update gameplay.
Shot trajectories and ball speed no longer resemble realistic strikes from distance.

This change reduces gameplay variety and removes one of the most satisfying aspects of shooting mechanics.

Subject: Gameplay Balance Concern – Long Shots & Goalkeeper Behavior

Since the recent gameplay changes, long shots from 30–35+ meters appear significantly less effective and no longer feel like a viable scoring option. Even well-timed and properly executed attempts show an extremely low success rate.

Goalkeepers also seem to recover unrealistically fast, particularly when retreating after stepping off their line. The recovery speed feels excessive and does not reflect natural football movement.

In addition, shots that hit the crossbar rarely (if ever) result in goals, which feels inconsistent with real football physics and match unpredictability.

These factors reduce gameplay variety and limit attacking creativity, making matches feel more repetitive.

I respectfully request a review of long-shot mechanics and goalkeeper movement balance to restore realism and tactical diversity.

Thank you for the response.

However, the issue is still present after further testing.
Long shots beyond 30–35 meters continue to show extremely low success rates, and goalkeeper recovery speed remains noticeably unrealistic.

This does not appear resolved yet and still impacts gameplay balance and variety.

I hope this can remain open for further review and additional player feedback.
