Agree 100% percent.
It’s impossible to play this game right now. The day before yesterday I was one match away from reaching Division 1, and today I’m almost getting relegated from Division 3. I’ve suddenly lost the ability to play… I can’t move my players properly — it feels like I’m controlling bronze players with 40 pace.
Most of the time I can predict exactly what my opponent is going to do, but I simply can’t move my players in time because of the constant delay. And when I do manage to close down, the ball either magically bounces back to the opponent or goes straight through my player.
Not to mention that nowadays about 80% of players use the exact same playstyle: they control the CDM and let the AI do everything else, defending with nine players inside the box. Meanwhile, I’m trying 20 times to score a goal, and they get one or two counterattacks where my players just stand still and watch — and of course, they score.
Defending manually feels impossible due to the constant delay, even when I’m playing on 10 ms ping.
Honestly, this game has become nothing but frustrating. The enjoyment it used to bring me just isn’t there anymore. Maybe I’m just an old-school player, but if this is what the game is about now — controlling only one player and letting the AI do the rest — then count me out
