First it's heel to heel, then it's stepover and exit...and now elastico apparently instantly puts the player on top speed which adds to the list of the things that is unheard of in real life football... and further destroys the skill balance if it's not already destroyed..
Probably the mistake that was done was not testing the skill moves when the player is maxed..
@mendozzamagic Lol, how did you come to the conclusion that if he wants more realism then he would remove all the skill moves? It is not even what he meant so why manipulate just to blindly defend? If your finger is cut, do you cut off your whole hand to fix it? What kind of a logic is that? Also, it is not even the skill moves itself, lol..
um - yeah - not sure you understand the concept of skill moves giving an unfair advantage when they are used. Not the skill moves itself but what happens after. Once it’s used(Heel to Heel Flick or Elastico and few others), it gives an instant speed boost to the player and that player becomes almost unstoppable. Once something is unstoppable and inevitable, how can you have fun with it?
No one wants to “remove all the skill moves” but the meaningless speed boost after the skill moves are used. Please read twice before commenting. To comment just for the sake of commenting is not helpful to anyone, especially commenting to manipulate.
@mendozzamagic Remove the ridiculous skill moves and it's still relatively easy to score depending on the person's skill level...If they can't score then it's on them to get better..
Making skill moves overpowered to the extreme pushes the gameplay from being a skill level playstyle and exploring different ways to score, to a meta abuse where almost every single person playstyles becomes the same, and a playstyle that is not only unrealistic, if successful there's no chance of recovery...and it's not even fun to play against.
As much as I want the gameplay to be realistic, at least make the gameplay to be more skill oriented.. and if you think scoring goals equals having fun then you have the wrong idea about football..
@eoibqpw0vpnp Realism was never a concept in gaming but I agree the skill moves desperately need to be nerfed. Most cross spammers have switched to skill spammers. But you'll probably have to wait another six years cuz that's what it took to nerf crossing.
@mendozzamagic Maybe you didn't know but watching people spam something that is near unstoppable as you can do nothing about it, is not really fun is it?
@mendozzamagic These h2h gurus were also saying that it's possible to defend cross spam if you don't give space to the winger/fullback and have a tall defender, but even so crossing had a unfair advantage because every cross had extra speed and accuracy, it makes defending extra difficult...so it needed to be nerfed.
Same thing for skill spam, people will say you can do this and that to counter, but the fact remains that some skill moves give an instant speed boost with high stun that makes defending a living hell...doing these skill moves takes little skill but defending them takes high skill and luck and even that may not be enough..
You say that there are players who try to combat the exploit, but shouldn't the dev team also try to balance out the exploits as much as possible?
