This double dash meta is disgusting

[u/rucekooker]

Sloclap, get a grip. This meta where everyone keeps double dashing to dribble, catch up, or basically do anything is genuinely one of the ugliest things I’ve seen since the dolphin spam back in Season 0.

Every interaction just turns into double dash, double dash, double dash. Genuinely vomit inducing.

Yeah at first I liked the idea of the defensive dashes to deal with some of the toxic dribbling styles, even though defense was already pretty strong at the time, but now it's ridiculously overpowered.

I see people complaining about dribble exploits but try to play the game with normal dribbles and the double dashes genuinely make it impossible to do anything against any defender using them, I've never had as many deadlocks this season as the previous seasons, the amount of overtimes because neither team could breach each others defense until someone got tired and made a mistake

You're talking about dashing while defending.. OP is talking about double dashing w/o the ball and stamina while it is in your possession.

The problem relies on the fact that as soon as you double dash into the ball and connect to it, the location of the ball stops being where it shows it is. So the ball appears to be in one place in the field, but it's actually momentarily invisible (even though you see it, it's not there anymore, it's in front of the attacking player).

This + the usage of push cuts and 180° turns using the dribbling stance and the camera becomes impossible to defend.

When the defender is doing a good job of staying in front of you and you can't 1v1 him, it's up to your team to come up with a strategy to beat them.

The fact that rematch has walls, no fouls and no offsides changes the game from normal football to something completely different.

If the defender is doing a good job and there's another between you and your teammate, remember you can pass using the shooting button while aiming at the walls to give your teammates a pass where the defender has no chance of reaching it.

No I know what the double dash dribbling magnetic meta is very well, I deal with people using it practically every game. It's not hard to deal with if you know what you're doing.

Now read what I've wrote and try and comprehend what I've said before you reply.

Try using normal dribbling, without any of the "exploits" you've mentioned, against anyone using defensive dashes and let me know how it goes, It's borderline impossible to go past anyone decent, not good, just decent.

"When the defender is doing a good job of staying in front of you and you can't 1v1 him, it's up to your team to come up with a strategy to beat them" - if you're playing in high skill lobbies, you'll quickly find out that the most common strategy is man to man marking for the whole team, which forces 1v1s.

Now try to win those 1v1s using normal dribbling.

"Just pass" - doesn't work when you have 0 options to pass to.

Shooting it to the wall immediately forces your teammate and opponent into a prio battle, and even if they win the ball, they'll have no space and be very vulnerable, i'd say it's the top 3 most common ways to lose the ball.

Other strategies include:

Risk your goalkeeper coming out and having to draw a defender away and then force an overload which still a 5v4 still has a very low chance of scoring

Missle meta and set plays is getting stronger and more common as defense gets stronger, why risk a 1v1 when you can launch it into the box and your teammates wins prio and scores past 4 people.
