    I don’t understand the timed finishing.

    Due to taking a 3 week break off Fifa 18 I got rid off the low driven muscle memory pretty quickly.

    Timed finishing is useless imo, can't see it being used ever in even a semi competitive environment such as WL.

    The new tactics are nice and I like how wide formations are usable again.

    The timed shooting is just way too inconsistent imo and the risk v reward isn’t worth it in the box

    Yeah, the only situations in which timed finishing has any value are desperate shots like this one on which you basically got no real chance of scoring (excuse the youtube video instead of a gif, no idea on how to make a gif out of a PS recording)

    If you got the time to line up a proper longshot they will go in anyways (they seem quite op in the demo, even useless players generate mad power) so no need to take the risk of a timed finishing, same goes for every finish inside the box really.

    It isn't worth it, feels like a gimmick. You can hit perfectly timed shots, they will still miss, because shot power is increased you will find a lot of them cracking the bar.

    I think it’s a good idea just not executed well

    Yeah good concept and poor execution. They should've decreased the accuracy of normal shots, increased the accuracy of timed shots by a substantial amount.

    @Hones43 yeah, the main situations in which timed finishing might find some use are impossible angles. If you find yourself trapped in a corner and don't wanna try potentially suicidal passes (we all know how to get countered from your own corner lol) you can try it and the player might score a wonder goal or atleast get another corner out of it. You can score some weird finesse long rangers and some low drivens from crazy angles if you use it.

    But if you have any sort of decent chance of scoring then you shouldn't use it imo.

    I think it's more likely that we will see a patch on nerfing some of those laughable volleys which will render the entire fancy flick system useless haha.

    The patch on the flicks to volleywill happen pretty quickly once it starts getting spammed in fut

    Headers are easy too, it's reminiscent of Fifa 14. Impossible to stop a perfect timed header. Feels like they reduced the skill gap even further, the frequency of auto tackles by pressing A is ridiculous, while using the high press tactic. Played a few games against the lads today, they're not very good, but they were all over me by holding A. I don't use A on defence.

    Headers are easy too, it's reminiscent of Fifa 14. Impossible to stop a perfect timed header. Feels like they reduced the skill gap even further, the frequency of auto tackles by pressing A is ridiculous, while using the high press tactic. Played a few games against the lads today, they're not very good, but they were all over me by holding A. I don't use A on defence.

    Didn’t realise people actually still just held contain to defend, hasn’t been effective for a couple of years

    Casuals hold A, but haven't used it myself for years. Still it's more effective in this game, than any other Fifa when your opponent is using a high press tactic. It was perfect when Fifa 18 released, A done nothing. The first patch ruined it though.
