It’s not every single match. It was bad last night in several matches. Today I’ve played four VSA matches and two felt “off.” The match I played just now was pretty darn bad. Inputs felt delayed and player control was “sloshy.” Multiple times I lost possession because player movement was not precise. Bottom line: really frustrating and impossible to win.
In the past this never used to happen with VSA. Player control used to feel precise and “light.” Now it routinely feels, at best, “heavy” and, at worst, like I’m playing a poor hockey simulation. I just don’t get how a mode that used to be rock solid (if a little boring and repetitive) has become so unstable/unreliable.
Just played another VSA match where I lost two possessions because my player showed total indifference to the ball. On one occasion he just let a pass roll past and on the other it rolled up to and bounced off of him without the player making any attempt to take control. In both cases I’m totally unable to affect the outcome and I lost both possessions.
Elsewhere I started a thread about “non-possession” VSA possessions where the ball rolls straight to the defender and my player never even touches the ball (and the “possession” is over in 2 seconds). I’ve experienced 3 such instances in the last couple of weeks. Mentioning this here because it’s all part and parcel of the general glitchiness of VSA at the moment.
