The Rapid PlayStyle

I feel that the Rapid PlayStyle is severely breaking the game balance.

Effective not only in Head-to-Head but also in Manager Mode, facing this PlayStyle often results in matching against players who fill their entire front line with Rapid, leaving us completely helpless no matter what tactics we use.

    It also killed the level of skill in the game, the whole playstyle thing did. It made bad players able to compete against better ones. They can mistime a dribble or a pass, but as long as that player has some sort of a playstyle, it bails them out. Rapid for example is like giving a rifle to a civilian, they're may be bad at shooting, but they're still dangerous because the rifle made them so.

    Hi there. Thanks for sharing your feedback on this and explaining how it affects your gameplay. I'll make sure to pass this on to the team.

  • Yep, I’m sick of these second-tier players (Hagi, Giuly, etc.) simply pushing the ball beyond my higher-rated defenders and then winning a foot race. It doesn’t require any skill and it makes a mockery of all the other playstyles when this one confers such a huge advantage.
