The Pina Menace: Will It Continue?

This week I won 10 games in Weekend League, just one more than usual. What felt unusual, though, was that Pina didn’t perform well at all for my opponents.

Again, I faced 9 teams using Pina as striker. Many players were running Cruyff or Eto’o at CAM and still playing Pina up top. But this time, Pina couldn’t score a single goal against me.

I know the gameplay is bad overall, but is it just me, or did others notice this too?

It feels like a patch might be coming, maybe tomorrow on Tuesday. I already see players in-game behaving oddly, like the code is half-updated or something.

Out of the 10 games I won, 8 wins were against Pina striker teams. The solution was simple: just use a strong, heavy CB like King. Once Pina can’t turn, she can’t score.

The 5 games I lost were against better players than me. At least 4 of them had full meta teams but didn’t abuse Pina as striker.

Overall, it was a surprisingly good experience this week, which honestly feels rare to say about Weekend League.
