I don't care how many Milincovic-Savic fanboys there are within the development team for this game, but you guys seriously have to nerf him. I'm all for good yet affordable players but this has gotten out of hand. How out of touch do you guys have to be with the game to make Milincovic-Savic better than Icon Captain Buffon, Czech and Manu more??? I can't score similar goals against Milincovic-Savic that I have against max ranked and leveled Anniversary Courtois. Literally illogical. I played over 30 VSA games earlier and 80% of the matches I lost were against players with Milincovic-Savic. All my great shots were easily stopped. Mind you, with a 117 squad, I was able to tie a 119 squad with maxed rank and levelled Courtois and by no means was it a low scoring match. This makes getting icon goalkeepers less appealing and is insulting to those who have them. I don't expect a response from E.A but I think it's better to write this anyways. At most, I'll get some false acknowledgement or empty promise, even that I'm not hopeful. Cheers

I don't think you would get either mate as so many people like VMS and his 99ovr card was a favourite of so many countless players. I don't get the logic, so if you loose to buffon or cech, are you fine? Coz People would get whoever works for them. TOTS Buffon was so over powered for a while that everyone used to have him. Then DDG. Point is people just want to whine when they loose and it looks more of that to me. The game mechanics favour tall goal keepers and everyone knows that, I am amazed u have got a 117 squad but didn't get this small thing.

I use the Vanja 111 Anniversary card and maxed him to 116 with 30 training levels — everything’s maxed. But he still concedes easy goals, even those long shots from outside the box that should be easy saves for him.I play all VSA, H2H and Manager Mode, and whenever I face Vanja, it’s so easy to score against him. So I don’t understand why people say he needs to be nerfed. The one that actually needs a little nerf, just a little, is Courtois — he’s way more difficult to score against.

I am very happy to see a lot agree with me that milinkovic-savic vanja is just ridiculously buffed beyond his capabilities. I have no problem with people deciding to use milinkovic-savic vanja, but the issue lies in how EA devs claimed "this season, players will play according to their stats" then proceeds to overly buff milinkovic-savic which has been so unfair to a lot of professional players. You play a powershot from 20 yards he catches it, play a tap in ball he catches it... Like tell me EA devs, do you people really watch football or you guys are just there to satisfy your fantasies? On this same issue of milinkovic-savic vanja buff. In as much we want to complain, we aren't saying he is not a good goal keeper, he is a mid-tier goalkeeper at best. And no way on beautiful Earth will milinkovic-savic vanja be so quick to saves balls. Still on that, EA need to work on the physics of the game because it is so out of touch. Tall goalkeepers doesn't mean he is quicker than the average height goalkeeper. The weight of the goalkeeper matters too! I noticed that the weight of the players aren't taken into consideration. Look at O. Campos (GK), as short as he is, he was one of the best goalkeepers thanks to his height that makes him quick to position and reflex well. End of the discussion, EA really need to nerf him a bit. Goalkeepers like yashin aren't saving balls like milinkovic-savic vanja in-game and that doesn't make any sense. Thank you.

b7r4owv30dzg Let’s have a quick breakdown of what you’ve said: 1. "It's a paradox mate.. u R asking for realism and still want players to play according to stats."→ Don’t get my point twisted, mate. I didn’t say I want full realism; all I said was EA shouldn’t exaggerate one player’s stats beyond logical balance. There’s a difference between realism and consistency.But then, should EA not keep to their promises? When you sell players a product that performs differently from what’s advertised, doesn’t that start looking like a "financial scam scandal"? 2. “If Vanja plays well and his stats are magnified by his height, you complain it's not real world.”→ Sure, height should help, but EA coded him like a 2-meter octopus with lightning reflexes. The issue isn’t height, it’s the excessive boost, not the concept itself. If he must be this good, then other icon GKs and modern GKs that have higher dives and stats should outperform him far better. It is logic, not fantasy. 3. “You raise about Campos, I used him, played against him and he is not as good as you suggest (atleast compared to real world). ”→ That’s subjective, but again, my point wasn’t that Campos is better in all scenarios, Oliver Khan who is short, Iker casillas too... Are we going to say they too don't have to be superior? My point is that EA ignores basic physics logic: shorter goalkeepers are naturally quicker to reposition, while taller ones have more reach but less agility. 4. “EA in the name of realism makes u loose some if U R on a winning streak where Ur players do so badly or won't respond to controls.. so probably u hit one of those patches.”→ That’s basically admitting the game uses artificial interference (DDA), the very thing I called out as scripting. 😂 5. “...... you are angry a 300shard card performs better.”→ Nah, that’s not even my issue. My gripe isn’t with Vanja being cheap; it’s that his performance breaks the balance and devalues every other GK, including icons. Hope I've been able to clarify that better.

b7r4owv30dzg I support the OP — Milinković-Savić definitely needs a nerf. Since player abilities are already quantified by data, his in-game performance should naturally reflect those stats. Even if adjustments are made based on real-life performance, they shouldn’t reach such an unrealistic, exaggerated level.Most importantly, the game shouldn’t intentionally make players lose just because they’ve been on a winning streak. Performance level should be absolute — just because someone’s been on a winning streak doesn’t mean they’re due for a loss, especially when the opponents are clearly weaker. After all, Al Hilal managed a 28-game winning streak before.AstralDrifter14 , I’d suggest you just ignore him. Anyone who says such illogical nonsense like “match interference is normal” clearly doesn’t understand how normal people think.

Vanja MS is nothing compared to Jan Koller though. Koller is an animal in goal, truly irritating :|.
On a serious note, VMS is overpowered compared to his real-life performances, and it is not a new thing. I believe players should reflect their real-life form, so VMS should be nerfed to match his actual abilities, otherwise it negatively impacts the game. He has always been a beast of a GK in the game, kind of the same madness as with Zardes, Daramy, and other average real-life players over the years.

As with any buffed-up GK, when everyone uses the same one, it becomes easier to learn their weaknesses and therefore easier to score :)

I agree with the original post. It's not normal what is happening. The game should reflect reality. That's why the game is using real names players. Imagine if they would start messing with players positions as well. How it would be having Ronaldo or Messi as defenders? The in game stats should also reflect the in match performance. We all buy players based on stats and real life fame. We all want Ronaldo and Messi because they are the best and have high stats. In the monthly events how do you guys choose your rewards/players? Based on their stats, speed, dribbling, shooting etc. If those stats don't reflect the in match performance (and it doesn't) then the game is trying to trick us. I don't consider is fair to work hard to get Yashin from Ballon D'or Event and be forced to use this Savic.

A fair game would be to leave players perform based on their OVR and Stats and if EA wants to balance the game then they shod give a cheap boosted players at every event so that F2P players can have a chance. So a fair game would be to have Buffon, Yashin, etc be the best GK in the game but also have this Savic as a cheap option for the f2p players.

The game is going down the drain with so many issues since this anniversary event and you guys are arguing about a card, lol :) True OGs of FC all of you.
Since everyone's putting their wishes, i want to nerf Gullit for god sake, that guys plays so many positions and is so good at all of them. And may be Ginola who is nowhere close to as good as he is in the game.
Dont nerf Vanja (Just coz I got the card now :))

We do complain of other things to. Gullit although he can play all those positions it doesn't make such a difference in the game. I mean he is good but you can't say he's winning games unlike this Savic.
