Title Update 1.4.2 Appreciation - Logic and Skill Gap Restored
To the FC Development Team,
I wanted to provide some rare, positive feedback following the January 13th Hotfix (v1.4.2). As a 30-year veteran of the series who was ready to walk away last week, I can officially say: You fixed it.
The difference in gameplay integrity is night and day. Specifically:
- Offensive Responsiveness: The "Mud" is gone. Left-stick dribbling and transition play feel dynamic and 1:1 with my inputs again.
- Defensive Integrity: Thank you for restoring the Manual Interception hitboxes. My defenders actually feel like solid objects again. When I read a lane surgically, I am rewarded with the ball instead of it phasing through my player's legs.
- Goalkeeper Logic: The "Bi-line Trickle" goals seem to be addressed. Keepers are making logical, physical blocks rather than getting stuck in frozen animations.
I have no immediate recommendations for changes—this build feels like the best the game has been all year - and maybe since 2013 and 2017 games. I’ll be testing this against the AI in Seasons/Career to ensure the logic translates across all modes, but for now, please keep the gameplay exactly where it is.
Thank you for listening to the veteran community and restoring the skill gap.
