I thought high pressure was nerfed?

So why I have I just played a whole WL with pretty much everyone either playing constant pressure of POPL and it having zero impact on their stamina?

In some cases their stamina will be absolutely drained yet still play like as if it was the 1st minute. In other cases they will play high pressure and it have no impact on their stamina. In fact they have more stamina than my own team and I play on balanced.

    I'm finding the same.

    People just play high pressure and team press practically all game with no drain on stamina.

    Definitely has not been nerfed. Most of the team I have just recently played has been constant pressure -.-

    Get you shi t together EA. Bloody rubbish.

    I accidentally switched to attacking, rather than ultra attacking (for player movements in game). My attacking formation had constant pressure (I didn't realise I was using it), half time no stamina on any of my players, I checked and yeah it lost me the game.

    I think it would work in spells of say 10 mins, but no longer!

    I think overload ballside is nerfed, it drains the stamina very quick.

    I think high pressure still there and other side who did not turn on pressure get muddy n unresponsive game play. Weird....

    It is a massive problem IMO. I’m a div 3/4 player and always start every game 4-4-2 on balanced balanced, 4 depth. Normally against a decent player I can be 2 or 3 nil down by half time. My team just cannot contain my opposition. Often change to a tactic using popl and the game plays completely different. My players become involved, where before they were just stood about with there fingers up their arse!!! Pressure is the only way my team do anything. I would rather not to use it because I prefer steady build up play but I can’t make it work on this game.

    Press after possesion loss is ok.> It leaves you vurnarable and its not that op

    They dont use constant pressure they sure team press for few seconds after they lose the ball. If you time it correctly you can do this non stop...

    Constant pressure leaves you wide open at back.. The other thing u turn on

    Popl is the only thing that works for me. Gives me just enough pressure to get my players involved without killing my players. I’ve tried team press and constant pressure and both drain my players too quick. M probably using them wrong to be honest.
