    Interactivity and how EA have broken squad battles

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 05:29 PM PST

    I usually play squad battles to elite 1. Since the update I just can't force myself to even start.

    The big issue as I see it is that EA have made a game mode where you aren't playing against the computer, the computer is playing against itself.

    What I mean by this, is that on legendary, world class and even professional to some extent, you aren't going to be able to tackle the ai. You're just waiting for the ai to fuck up so you can take the ball and counter attack. That's it.

    The only way to play squad battles is the least Interactive way imaginable. You aren't tackling each other, you aren't playing through them. You're just trying to get a counter attack going and hoping the AI will fuck up their shot or pass so you get the chance for a counter attack.

    I think EA are eventually going to get rid of squad battles entirely, probably justifying it based on decreased participation in the wake of the buffs to the ai.

    Just wanted to post this here and see if anyone else feels similarly. Maybe we can tweet at them and see if they'll fix it? Honestly it's just not a fun game mode anymore. It used to be a break from rivals or champs. Now it's just miserable.

    The four Bundesliga horsemen of looking left

    Not that much of an achievement for some, but I finally hit Division 5.

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 07:56 PM PST

    For as long as FUT has been around I have always been a Division 8,9 player.. really struggling to make any sort of progress.

    Recently after almost giving up, I started to try and make the game fun again by using formations and tactics from different teams of different eras like Ferguson's 1999 Man United, I now have an in-game setup devised of 4 different teams that I switch too.

    It has really helped and elevated me far beyond what i expected. I went on an unbeaten 7 game streak for the first time ever.

    Now I have finally hit division 5 and seeing 1000 points on my screen feels awesome.

    Remember to take a break, your mental health is important.

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 04:34 PM PST

    I see a lot of posts on here regularly about people getting angry at the game, YouTube videos of people raging really bad and maybe taking it a bit too seriously.

    At the end of the day FIFA is a video game, it isn't worth stressing over at all, no matter how many goals your opponent scores, no matter how a game starts or ends, it's not worth a controller, a hole in the wall, broken furniture or degrading your mental state.

    If you get that angry or feel like punching your monitor, simply walk away and come back later. Your mental health is so important, especially with everything going on in the world atm.

    Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

    What I don't like/don't understand about EA nerfing pressure

    Posted: 12 Nov 2020 04:57 AM PST

    First of all, let me say that I'm not a native english speaker, so please just ignore the many grammatical mistakes that are about to happen.

    So EA released a new patch that focused primarily in nerfing any type of pressure in FIFA 21. Now don't get me wrong, I agree that pressure needs to be nerfed, but I don't think they understand what the real problem is and I also don't think the changes will be beneficial.

    That's what their patch notes says about it:

    • Decreased the amount of time the Team Press D-Pad Tactic can be active for, before requiring cooldown, from 30 seconds to 20 seconds.
    • Increased the impact of the Overload Ball Side D-Pad Tactic on in-game Stamina.
    • Increased the impact of the Constant Pressure, Pressure On Heavy Touch, and Pressure On Possession Loss Tactics on in-game Stamina.

    I honestly don't think any of those were the real problems. 30 seconds of pressure is maybe a little too much, OK, but the problem isn't how long they pressure for, it's how well it works. It's how unrealistic it is that a team can mark ALL of your outfield players at the same time. And especially it's how buffed the defenders reactions get compared to how much they dumb down the attackers.

    If all you need to do to put full pressure on your opponent is to hit two buttons, the pressure can't be this perfect. AI controlled players SHOULDN'T BE (and I can emphasize this enough) the ones recovering the ball. They shouldn't be the ones intercepting passes, the same way they shouldn't be the ones making tackles or blocking shots. Pressure should work like Tight Marking did in past FIFAs, just bringing your players closer to the opponents and then it's up to you to read your opponent well enough to antecipate a pass or make a tackle. AND attackers shouldn't just stand there and accept the pressure for the whole time, especially players with high Positioning.

    Furthermore, I play on Pressure After Possession Loss and hold between 60%/70% possession every game, and my players are DEAD if I ever go to extra time. Low stamina players are dead by the 60th/70th minute. I don't see how this is a problem at all, but if they don't want people to be able to have ANY type of pressure for the full 90 minutes, I can get behind that, no problem.

    But then we get to the part that I don't like:

    For three years running now it looks like they don't understand (or pretend not to) that you need to drain more stamina from people playing Drop Back. There's no penalty AT ALL for playing Drop Back/Fast Build-up, when that should drain more stamina than any other combination of custom tactics (except for Constant Pressure/Fast Build-up).

    People can literally have 5/6 players sprinting up and down the field for the whole game, holding only 25% possession (which means that they're running after the ball/closing spaces/marking players moving around for 75% of the time) and still get to the 90th minute with 7/8 players with 60/70 or more stamina.

    How can you justify draining so much stamina from Overload Ballside (and I agree with that nerf) when all that means is that your defense will play more narrow, but not touch Drop Back? In what world does that make any sense??

    Thanks for the read and please let me know if I'm delusional in the comments.
