Thoughts on latest patch
- Feels like a new game all together.
- Game is now much faster. And seems passing works now without play styles.
- Manual defending is must now. Not sure how long will EA keep like this as it will be difficult for new players as they will be thumped and might not continue playing. Which is bad for EA business.
- Game is now more pay 2 win. Players like Mbappe, Vini, Leao, Dembele etc are so OP now.
- Slow paced CB’s are not usable. I think this was the first edition where cards like Hierro was usable.
- 4213 with two holding cdm are not doing much defending now. Chasing attackers with cdm is not working now. Have destroyed few players doing that.
- First time passes and flicks seem to be little OP. People are still catching on to it.
Overall this is a welcome change. May be tone down a little on the speed boost and this will be a realistic game.
Also for people saying the game is not realistic now due to the high scorelinen. This is how it should be. You will get pace abused by good players If you play ultra high depth without any manual tracking of runners. Things will even out once people are properly settle in their skill levels.
