Difficulty of Top Duos final match
It is completely unfair. Not only does the bot get a team cranked to the max, the players only get a 100 OVR team with two 121 OVR players that doesn't even have any playstyles. Besides that, the bot...
Yes, it's a very hard challenge but also it was the same in the actual event as well.
I played 2 games, lost the 1st 1-2, then won the 2nd 4-3, coming back from 1-3.
What makes it hard is the optional stuff. I'll give it a go for gems when I can be bothered, rankups are not worth the hassle IMO.Anyway, a few things people need to keep in mind to beat it (just like any hardcore game vs PVE):
- Chasing all optionals within the normal time will be hard. You might need to work for the draw then score a winner in ET.
- Possession is key! Pass it around lots, making the AI chase the ball.
- Don't charge at the AI when you lose the ball, the 2nd player assistance just exposes you.
- Sprinting is a massive NO-NO, you'll lose the ball instantly. This is walking football time.
- If for some reason the AI striker breaks away, rush your GK at the right time.
- Scoring with Duo players just seems to trigger the AI to go harder, so don't lay it off to a non-Duo player (assist is fine).
- The easiest way to score is to stretch the AI to the flanks, then look for DUO attackers, pass it to them and then pass to either of the silvers to just go with a low ground shot, ideally from inside the pen box around the half-circle area.
- Once you score your winning goal, park the bus and pass the ball around. Make sure you don't get caught out by rushing AI. They usually leave you alone around halfway.
- Used Koller/Rosicky Duo over Bellingham/Mbappe, far easier 🤷♂️
Good luck!
Ps. The difficulty level has been passed on to the dev team already.
Also, i know that its not a solution, however marking it as one on to give some hints how to get past the base requirements of the challenge
