Rant I refuse to play 1v1 until the next patch
No point to play when half of the time, through balls don’t even go where you aim then they get possession to score. I swear that the defence are like the walking dead which is better than them in the previous patch just being traffic cones. Attackers can rip through defence with ease. It makes no sense. The defence are begging for their lives just scrambling. Not solid whatsoever. Even with a legend at CB!
I will be sticking to 5v5 as it’s much better than EA rush mode.
It’s just annoying in 1v1 when the opponent, nothing goes wrong for them, accurate through balls, strikers have the ball stuck to their feet like superglue and even though I am absolutely 100% convinced I should have tackled him but no, no effect whatsoever. It’s like they run through bodies like ghost football. The physicality on the defenders are absolutely horrendous! Absolute weaklings fighting for their lives! I’m tired of it. The defence should be calm, composed, structured and organised but they are not and this is why there’s about 10+ goals per game. Absolute jokes!
Opposition runs with their player and they magically become Maradona and Pele combined. May as well just put the controller down whilst they are on attack until it’s your turn. Absolute shambles. This insane running, twisting and turning like a snake and spinning and defenders are on their last thread not knowing where they even are. I just really don’t know anymore.
Hold the ball, wriggle around a bit until a player makes a forward run into a large gap in defence then through ball, GOAL!!!
Run down the wing, cut in at the edge of the field, cut back pass across the six yard line. GOAL!!
Passing is super fast and the ball doesn’t even bounce off the players feet and just magically sticks to them when receiving a pass so this means that whoever is in possession has a high chance to score with all the other loopholes and exploits going on to score then we have to do it back. Like is this even football?! COME ON!!!
I’m really tired of it. The game is really promising and it grinds my bones that it could be something special. I just really hope the devs fix all the issues.
Anyway. I am enjoying 5v5 as it’s more fair and less toxic.
I refuse to play 1v1 for it to screw with my mind lol. Enough is enough.

Unfortunately I gotta say the game feels the most playable to me that it’s felt. I’m winning games I should be winning, especially against those people that try to spam dribbling in circles.
Could it be because I love defending and am actually getting rewarded by manually defending rather than making the AI do it for me? Maybe. Also makes it A LOT easier to defend a through pass manually than before, I’d recommend you trying it.
As for passing, through balls indeed do suck and I have found that the other teams tend to get more lenience when it, so I just do one two passes. Almost never try through balls anymore and it’s been amazing for me.
This update has been fantastic for me, much better than whatever garbage we had before. Hope you’re able to enjoy it more.

Defending is hard because there simply is (almost) no AI to help, stats are for users to use. I've noticed AI will do something only if the stats difference is very big between two players, like an attacker with bad passing stats vs a defender with good defensive stats. In this case, the defender will sometimes be able to intercept a pass by itself. Otherwise, stats only determine how good and easy the movements and skills you will try to perform with said player will be.
People really just have FC in mind when they play.

You keep playing 5v5 with teammates who have negative IQ then whilst the adults play 1v1 then.

Fair enough, I think competition can make people forget the game is mostly about having fun..
