EA_Darko​ ok, sorry; I was frustrated. I hope the major patch will come soon.

Thanks all for sharing

And Bicicle_tackle​ as we are not bots it can take time for us to get back and reply.

We aren't bots so things like having to eat can take us away from the boards for a little bit.

But as usual when they actually recieve constructive criticism, you won't get a reply from the community managers. 

The addition of Manual Defending was to increase skill gap; IRONICALLY it reduced the skill gap now you can spam R3 and Sprint The defenders will move out the way, THIS is literally AMERICAN FOOTBALL simulator. 

THE NEAR POST GOALS ARE SO OP - My EMI MARTINEZ on FAR DIVE CANNOT SAVE IF HIS LIFE DEPENDED ON IT. I conceded a goal from Doumbia while getting pushed off by Bremer on Brusier and still conceded while off balanced near post.

GOALKEEPERS ARE SO STUPID THEY DICTATE THE GAME 

OVERALL: YOU ARE FIGHTING THE GAME; NOT THE OPPONENT

HAVE SOME SHAME EA!!!!

well EA_Darko​, I can give you some pointers, per game mode:

Starting of with squad battles:

• Absurd opponent squads, full meta, filled with icons; clearly not community squads. Or are you going to tell me someone on the first day would be able to get a signature Ronaldo, signature Zidane, signature Pele, signature Maradona, signature Beckenbauer; etc. etc. Even Bateson wouldn't be able to do that.
• No more bronze or easy silver squads as the first 2 picks. Last week my second pick had 7 icons in it. Ofcourse when you have done all your games for points, and need to refresh for evolutions; THEN the easy opponents start showing up. I litterely had 2 bronze opponents for genuine SB matches since the start of early access; yet yesterday in 1 day 4, ofcourse after finishing the matches that count towards your point total.
• Even on profesional level, the AI is absurdedly agressive in defending. I used to beat legendary last year, so I can clearly see the difference.
• Your squad mates running offside where they clearly shouldn't be, the passer takes it's sweet time, just long enough (sometimes literally 3 seconds) for the reciever to run offside

Rush mode:

• Your team gets 3 blue cards, you get a warning for not finishing the game, followed by a 15 minute match ban for disconecting. Well, not my fault is it?

Rivals

• Team mates clearly coded to cancel the offside trap. For no reason whatsoever taking three steps back with no ball near them, see my other post about Llorente, running 15 meter pas the defensive line on the other side of the pitch
• Player switching when defending is horrendous, so is the automatic AI switching
• Female attacking players. Spin to win and you know it. Pina bodyiing Micah Richards like he is a straw.
• Players actively ignoring the ball if they're not selected. A player with intercept +, ball passes literally inches from him, nothing. You guys killed the defending like this. Always overdoing stuff that needed a nerf, but never possible to actually make the nerf reasonable.
• Passing; all over the place. Sometimes it's spot on, most of the times you clearly aim for someone, just to pass meters away from him, to a player standing 15 meters further, with a opponent ofcourse in front of him.
• Throw in; if you take the throw in too fast, the game refuses to actually switch players, staying with the throw in taker. 

SBC's

• In general overpriced as hell. 165k worth of cards for the POTM Ferran Torres, where that card with no playstyle+ would not even be 50k on the market.
• Putting all the POTM sbc's and hero sbc's in the new sbc mode; they could actually be worth it if you needed to supply squads and would get rewards from them, but no; you're discarding tons of worth for 1 player, thus emptying your club.

Evolutions

• What are you guys thinking? The new future stars academy  evolution is amazing, for wich my compliments. The rest is so horribly bad and out of touch. Constant max pace this, max pace that, must not be lb, rb, cb, cdm, cam, lw etc. You nerfed it into the ground, with the icing on the cake being the Touchline magic evo, 20k or 150 coins; for WHAT? Who in their right minds is going to pay for that rubbish?
