Bring back 'Green Timing'

I don't know why this was ever removed. It was such a great mechanic in game that was completely skill based. Any shot outside the box now is basically not an option, no finesses, no power shots, they're basically dead mechanics now because of the green timed removal.

Finesse shots were a great option against park the bus players, which is basically 90% of the player base right now because they can't defend for **bleep**. But thanks to the removal of timed finishing there's basically no counter play.

Power shots have always been a bit useless and only really good with a fair amount of open space or on a breakaway, but it'd be nice for them to be at least a little viable.

You removed the skill based shooting and replaced it with what, low driven, literally the easiest shot to pull off in the game and also the most effective?? How does that make any sense.

FC should be a skill based game. If you're going to make the defending more manual and 'skill based' why then would you nerf the skill based attacking attributes at the other end?

  • Honestly? I think the shooting mechanics (With the Exception of low driven shots which need an immediate nerf) are pretty excellent as they are, currently. Most of the gameplay is great. Maybe bringing back green timing for free kicks could be a nice hit of nostalgia though, particularly as we have the old style right stick choose where to hit ball aspect from FIFA 2003 onwards.

    Yeah arsenalfanrichi​ I feel the same, think that there have been huge improvements over the years with how the game plays and how shooting works.

    There is always that nostalgia for how things were though.
