Anything after 80’-85’ has always been reasonable enough to me, as most are saying. before that is just toxic in most situations. That said, I was playing someone last week that paused and accused me of time wasting. But the truth was, he wasn’t pressing and I wasn’t time wasting. We figured out it just seemed like that…

Played a dude in champs yesterday that played full 100 depth the entire game. He had like 6 players sitting on the midline just constantly running back and forth over ~5-10 yards just cycling through offside traps. So yes, it definitely works but I’m not sure what the cutoff value is. I thought it was 71, but perhaps 72.…

I agree with most of the discussion here. I think the negative effects on the opposing players (stamina, composure, etc.) need to be tweaked. But like someone else said, it comes down to connection quite often. I can tell when I have a small bit of input delay vs constant pressure vs not having that and the difference in…

I had tons of extra fodder so I just took the chance. Haven’t played him every game so far but I feel like he’s been plenty good enough, and you can easily rotate him to other positions as well. I was using Kessie before so lost a lot of physicality at CM but like others have said, pace and dribbling has been surprisingly…

Same boat as you. Stopped playing around March of this year so I’ve been getting back to it. The first few games were rough, but sitting at 3-4 now. Might have a chance.

Gameplay is rough today. I’ve been working very hard on my game lately, and I’ve been playing better than ever. Had to play my games today because I won’t have time due to other obligations for the rest of the week. I usually avoid playing around this time because I always have bad gameplay conditions, but it’s the only…

I send messages in the following situations: - Someone gives me a win in Playoffs or Weekend League - I thought the opponent and I both played a very close and well-fought game and I just want to pass on my enjoyment to them (whether I won or lost) - If I have a question about something they did (will usually pass along a…

I think it's usually people either player constant pressure and almost never switching off their CDM so that it doesn't drain stamina as quickly, or people just playing PHT and popping in and out of team press to initialize the press. While it can be annoying, especially against higher caliber players that don't make as…

Been floating between Div 1/2 the last few seasons. Don't play Rivals as much as I used to ever since they started making every objective 1000 games. Could probably make it to elite if I really tried, but maybe not, who knows.
-
I would use either Benzema, FB Firmino, or Nkunku. In that order from most physicality to least, but they also become increasingly more agile. All of their attributes are pretty elite, but I tend towards Firmino/Nkunku because of their pressing ability.
-
As far as I can tell, basically every decent/meta card fell HARD pre-TOTS, but they have all been slowly rising ever since then. Since Serie A TOTS starts in two days, it seems smarter to either hold indefinitely if you will still use him, or wait until he starts rising this weekend/early next week. There's a lot more…
-
I already SBC'd him. Honestly, I just already had so many players that fit links I would use him for and I didn't love his work rates. I can 100% understand how some people may not be bothered by the work rates issue, but he just didn't fit with my style of play. Once he has the ball at his feet, I thought he was pretty…
-
I've packed plenty of TOTS, but I've also opened a massive # of packs (and honestly bought a few as well in my search for the top players). That said, I haven't packed a single player worth over ~150k, and most have been worth ~50k. The only really valuable TOTS card I packed was Modric, but that came out of a 84x25 and…
-
This sounds wildly lucky. But even still, you've done every SBC? I seriously can't imagine having that much fodder unless I was playing the game like 10 hours/day. Maybe not even then. My guess is that many won't share your opinion. I mean, I have no issue with more SBCs, but I would definitely prefer EA work on other…
-
It's really hard to say for sure so I'm not going to vote, but I will say there's a LOT more variety than there was mid-year when ~90% of the teams used the same ~8-10 players with 2-3 players varying. The only teams that really annoy me anymore are the seemingly high number of squads with 99 Pele and a couple of other…
-
I have used Militao and VVD both for at least a full Weekend League. I perfer Militao. I still think his NU card moves a little bit better, but he's still very good. VVD is a beast, but he's just not quick/agile enough to defender 1v1 against a lot of these juiced up 99 everything cards, which is really a shame because…
-
Agree with most in here. He’s fine. Not bad. Not great. Looking to replace him but all of the other LWs I could use I either don’t like or are way too expensive (Vini).
-
I had saved this for so long, and earlier this week on Sunday I accidentally clicked "open" when looking through my list of packs. Was such a bummer. Good luck to everyone else!!
-
I feel like I was playing with the entire back line on balanced. One mid is usually in drop between defenders (this essentially creates a backfield 3 with a midfielder sandwiched between two CBs. It also pushes your fullbacks up into the attack more often, which creates more space and passing options without significantly…

As much as I love complaining about some aspects of the game, surely you must realize there’s more than one area in which you can improve? if you’re in the right place and don’t intercept the ball, then don’t change what you’re doing and eventually the RNG will turn your way. In the meantime, perhaps select another area of…
-
Very nice review. Great reference points. Thanks!
-
I do occasionally re-watch games to try and get better. The issues with this processs have already been listed bu others in this thread. I do also wish you could select some sort of “auto-record” feature that would allow you to rewatch the game immediately after finishing WITH the ability to use instant replay. It would…
-
Exactly my thoughts anyone makes a post like this. I really don’t understand how people can think a single stroke of luck amounts to concluding that EA has increased the pack weights for everyone. It would be like going on a walk and finding a $20 on the sidewalk and then texting all of your friends that sidewalks are…
-
@john_d_efc — Thanks for sharing. That’s a 4-1-4-1 correct? Might give it a try since I’m tired of most formations at this point. I don’t necessarily have anything against Drop Back, but I have only played it a handful of times. Seems like every time I try it my opponent almost immediately scores lol. Maybe it was just…
-
Right, there’s absolutely no transparent consistency. In other words, there may be some sort of consistency but due to EA’s lack of transparency it seems impossible to recognize where that consistency is coming from.
-
I feel the same way about 25-50% of the time. I’ve been really trying to improve + work on my mentality, but it’s painfully difficult sometimes since it’s virtually impossible to tell whether you’re connection is messing with play, or if you’re just that much worse than your opponent. I have some games where my players…
-
Honestly, I don't even think I would be that upset with gameplay occasionally being delayed. There's a lot going on in this game for two people with potentially widely different connection speeds: I have some room for understanding. The problem is, like people are saying, there's just no pattern to it. It seems to happen…
-
Yeah, this is the feeling I get as well. I responded to a similar thread yesterday—really don't love the work rates, but once he gets the ball at his feet, he's pretty good. Played with him more last night and he's a little better than I would have said yesterday, but honestly these work rates are just garbage for my play…
-
If you didn't re-start your console, that should be the first thing you're doing.
-
This has happened to me a few times throughout the year. I always tried to wait as long as possible before quitting, but sometimes I got the win and other times the loss no matter the score, so I'm not sure how much it matters how long you wait. That said, if this happens even once, re-start your console immediately after…
Howdy, Stranger!
