Update is exactly what was needed

Let me start by saying that I am on these forums quite often, usually to call out what is wrong with the game and probably perceived as moaning quite a lot. But not this time, well done EA.

This is exactly what the vast majority of the community was crying out for, the casuals, the averagely skilled players such as myself.

Defending now feels much fairer and the R1 dribble nerf was sorely needed.

Kick offs are actually a huge improvement now, I've noticed the much more aggressive man marking and it works well.

The more realistic scorelines are a testament to how much better the gameplay is now, please don't listen to the content creators and elite div players who are moaning and crying that you've ruined the game (you've saved it) as they make up a tiny percentage of the playerbase.

How you have it now will retain the average gamer and attract new players too, also adding in a menu grind is a huge win too, something to do when taking a break from matches.

All in all I wanted to, for once, say well done EA. Credit where It's due, you've made a massive improvement and kept me playing.

  • Game is bad now. Dribbling is fun. Now there is no dribbling because everyone turns like a tractor.

    Only dribbling change is slower R1 dribbling. Left stick unchanged, passing better.

    There's more to football than just dribble, dribble, dribble...

    I left plenty of comments about the poor state of the game, prior to the last patch.  Now I feel it is only fair to congratulate you on making improvements.

    Please keep in mind that football fans, want a football game, that actually plays like football.  The kind of dribbling mechanics previously used are nothing at all like the real thing, and you were correct to tone them down.

    We want realistic scores, and to actually be able to implement realistic tactics, using a variety of playstyles.  It shouldn't be one meta of cutbacks, overpowered dribbling etc.  Defending should be rewarded as much as attacking.  If someone doesn't have the attention span to concentrate and work for 1 or 2 goals versus a good opponent in 15 mins, but needs 7 or 8 meaningless exploitations of a poor mechanic, they are the problem.

    Thanks!

    You just showed yourself up mate, before the patch I was saying we needed a change in a constructive and respectful manner, not the way you're throwing your toys out.

    Average players make up around 90% of the playerbase so yes, we do get a say, everyone does. It's not a game for only content creators, their little sheep followers and ultra sweats.
