Tap strafe on controller
Dear Apex, The movement mechanics in your game are what truly set it apart from any other Battle Royale on the market, yet there is a growing disparity between platforms that limits the competitive potential of console players. Incorporating tap strafing as an official, native feature for consoles would not only bridge the skill gap with PC but also elevate the overall fluidity of the gameplay experience for a massive portion of your community. By designing a dedicated input or setting that allows controller users to execute these sharp aerial maneuvers without relying on external scripts or third-party hardware, you would democratize high-level movement and ensure that skill rather than platform limitations dictates the outcome of a fight. As the game continues to evolve, making such a legendary mechanic accessible to everyone would reinforce Apex Legends reputation as the gold standard for movement based shooters.Fuse rework buff idea
Honestly fuses ultimate rework needs a buff. The ultimate damage needs an increase. Or i think, at very least remove his level 2 upgrade (Pyro Techniques) the one that gives his ult lingering flames, and make it a part of his base default ultimate. Besides who’s actually choosing fire that barely does damage, over a knuckle jump boost that gives you movement. Then actually give him a level 2 perk that competes with knuckle jumper. Maybe like a perk that allows his knuckle clusters to last longer, since in my opinion they made it worse this season. I’m sure I’m not the only person that agrees that his jump boost this the only good thing that came out of this rework.
Game is done, cheaters won
Every single match now there's at least a couple, you can't even avoid it...your game is finished, you ban them but they all come back and do it again! For real, they're even in bot royale now... Level 20 players running around hipfire shooting across the map while tap straffing and you want the 2% of people that are left not using cheats to compete with that? Ok respawn...sure
Apex can reclaim its throne by getting rid of aim assist. part2
I'm talking strictly about the PC sever; consoles are a completely different story. What actually happens if they get rid of aim assist. Pros First off, making this change would make Apex much more competitive compared to its rivals on PC. If we look at Steam's player counts for free-to-play Battle Royales, PUBG still maintains a massive player base. On the other hand, since the devs describe Apex as a competitive shooter, Valorant it its biggest rival-and Valorant's player count simply higher than Apex's right now. I believe that removing aim assist, Apex has a high potential to absorb players from these titles. Right now, FPS community is fragmented across many different games, and minor tweaks aren't going to bring the player base back in a big way. Since the majority of the current player base uses controllers, removing aim assist would mean many of them would perform at their actual skill level. This would naturally lower the entry barrier, making it much easier for true beginners to get into the game. Removing aim assist will increase the overall difficulty of the game, which will help distribute the rank population more naturally. This could solve the "Diamond elo smurfing" i mentioned before. Ultimately, this creates a much healthier environment for beginners. Lastly, it simply makes the game more competitive. This could breathe new life into the pro scene and make it even more exciting to watch. In fact, there's player named NIRU who actually hit solo Master rank on controller with aim assist turned OFF. It would also wipe out all those third-party devices that give aim assist to mice. This would finally put an end to that king of hardware-level chaeting. Cons Some might argue that controller players will quit the game. While that might be true for consoles, I don't think it applies to PC. PC gamers don't just stop gaming overnight; they usually look for a similar game to migrate to or smurfing, but the problem is-there isn't one. If the devs themselves use controllers, they won't be able to win anymore. Plus, they probably just don't want the hassle if massive update or the headache of dealing with the inevitable crying from the controller community. If you’re going to criticize this idea, please bring a counter-proposal that has more pros than mine. Let’s keep this a logical debate.Apex built a system that keeps players hooked but not valued
This isn't about difficulty anymore its about being ignored by a system that clearly sees player behavior and still chooses to push frustration instead of fairness I've put money into this and stuck around even when it stopped being fun not because its rewarding but because the loop is designed to keep me there and thats the problem I'm not even a hardcore gamer, apex is basically the only game I play and I'm not some top skill player either but the experience makes it clear players like me aren't actually valued just used to keep the ecosystem going if the goal is long term loyalty this ain't it cause all its doing is burning out the very people who were willing to stayLet’s all be honest with ourselves - EA FC 26 is terribly bad.
I am going to outline some points below in which I believe makes this year’s game horrible to play. Feel free to give your opinions on these points as well, as I’m genuinely curious to see if anyone else is on the same wavelength as me. Keep in mind these are my own opinions from playing the game quite a bit since early access launched. I’ll also add that I’m a Division 5 player on Ultimate Team - offline I play Legendary. Nothing special by any means, just a casual player. 1). Defending: This year, defending and the point I’ll detail in point 2 of this list are the main factors as to why this game is so terrible to play. If you’re left-stick dribbling, it is impossible to win the ball from an opponent. It just seems like the speed of tackling animations is too slow to handle the dribbling animations. Rarely am I able to time a tackle perfectly and win the ball cleanly and fairly. Vice-versa if I’m on the attack, as all I need to do is some tiki taka passing and left-stick dribbling to be through on goal. AI defending is equally as bad, with defenders making alien runs tracking back nowhere near the passage of play, leaving players wide open to receive a pass. Does anyone else get that weird animation when committing a defender to a challenge, the attacker can manage to get past, but your defender is trapped in a force field (like 2 opposing sides of a magnet) and can’t not within a yard of the player? 2). Too many goals: I don’t think I’ve played a game of UT this year which didn’t have a minimum of 8 goals. I had a Rivals game end 11-9 yesterday (I will attach the proof)… 20 goals in one game of FIFA? Come on man. It is way too “arcade-y”. Pass, dribble, shoot, score. On repeat. Is anyone like me that enjoys a well fought, well defended 1-0 or even a 0-0 which is hard to split? I understand it’s not meant to be super realistic, but the amount of goals, whether nicely worked or just plain BS, makes this game so boring and predictable. 3). Goalkeepers: Where do I start with goalkeepers, man? Again, I don’t think EA nailed the goalkeeper animations this year. Any keeper without the ‘footwork’ play style? Good luck getting anywhere near a low-driven, or for that matter, any shot aimed below the belt line. I feel like one game, your keeper can feel like a prime Buffon, then the next can’t get a hand to anything that comes his way. I think this has to tie in with the high scoring model for UT, which EA seem to be promoting and not willing to change. Very frustrating. Even the goalkeeper save / deflection animations are way off, like when a keeper saves a pretty tame shot and it ends up flying into row Z at a million miles per hour. 4). Kick off goals: Yeah, I’ll leave it at that. 5). Patches: This one I’m most interested in to hear your different opinions on. I just feel like you can play the game for a while and get used to the way it plays, but when a patch or a gameplay update is released, it feels like a brand new, totally different version of the game. Nothing ever feels the same and is drastically different to what you’ve been used to for the previous however long of playing, so you need to spend ages trying to figure out how to adapt as the change feels so drastic. To me, it feels more like an overhaul of changes, rather than subtle tweaks to genuinely improve the gameplay experience. Formations and custom tactics take the biggest hit for me with this one, and a full rebuild is required almost always. [CM edit - formatting]
