Rainbow Flick Glitched Shot

Please get this out of the game. There is literally no place for it in football simulation. 

You should be able to report games for bug exploits and the players should be banned

Thanks everyone for sharing your feedback on this. I’ve passed your comments on to the game team so the relevant folks can review them.

I’ve also merged your individual posts into this single thread so we can keep all the information in one place for easier tracking. We really appreciate your support.

As you can see from the file attached, a ca 50 second video showing an after-game highlight reel, of how a player in elite division made 5 or 6 out of his seven goals using this horrible glitch. A glitch that you recently claimed you patched in one of your patch notes — but this video proves your patch notes statements as false. Disgraceful..

 In the video, it can even be observed how I use goalkeeper movement using R3 which was ineffective (I did not try to double tap triangle). 

Nedless to say, I shouldn’t have to press or hold anything in order to not concede these type of goals. They do not belong in the game and need a hot fix ASAP. You can see in the file that instead of trying to run into open space, the player opts for running towards the edge of the box. Meaning, the bug is giving incitament to not play the game as intended.

Probably the worst bug since trickster glitch and your (you EA) absence of action is actually disturbing.. I don’t even know how to tag this **bleep** but it is basically cheating.

The trickster rainbow flick is way too overpowered… A player should need 6 skill stars to pull it off, but even some 4-star guys have the Trickster trait and can do this crap

The instructions I set for my players keep resetting as soon as I leave the menu too

Can you fix the bug? I meet a guy who drives 5 goals outside the penalty area with a rainbow flick and shoots, why are you ruining the game so much?

Every player can use a rainbow flick to an overhead kick on the edge of the box to score goals and I have found no way to stop them as they go in to an animation that seems unstoppable its is extremely common in middle east servers and has not been fixed.

Mate this is the dumbest glitch in the game has to be fixed I’ve had it happen a few times but this was the worst just went into a draft and lost to it in the first round went 3-0 was clearly better than this guy who had mbappe etc the best draft team I’ve ever seen but he decided to just do this glitch I ended up losing 6-4 because he scored 6 goals doing this even if he was through 1 on 1 he would just stop on the edge of the box and do it it’s so stupid as there is no way to stop it. 

The bug still works. I just lost three games in a row in Elite because of it.

In the last patch note

Further reduced the accuracy of Acrobatic shots taken right after a flick.

But from one of the matches in Division Rival D2, it seems the accuracy of Acrobatic shots still needs to be tuned down. As you can see in this video, the opponent was able to score 7 rainbow flick volleys in the same match. In his last few attempts, I even manually moved my keeper to the far post before the shots to prevent that from going in, but it was useless. Before someone comes to lecture me that I just need to defend better,  I went 13-2 and 14-1 in champs before and post the newest patch, so I know the basics of defending. I scored 6 goals in that match, and my opponent managed to outscore me by using these mechanics even in situations where my defenders applied pressure to the goal scorer!  This needs to be addressed and tuned down; otherwise, it would suck out the fun of this game. 

For your reference, I did some research, and the way to execute this kind of broken rainbow flick shots perfectly by one of the members in the community is:

You just need 1 bar of power now instead of 2. Too much and it hits crossbar. Its still automatic if you have the power correct.

Hopefully, this gets looked at and addressed by the Dev team. I am not even mad at losing the game; I am just disappointed that all the efforts the Dev team put in get exploited so quickly.
