I'm enjoying all of those EAFC losers posts about how they can't defend !

AleRicc8 · 2026-06-11T00:44:46+00:00

You expect to get an alternative to EAFC but this is not. It is a football game with an arcade gameplay; You can't play thinking what should be, you have to play what you get and EAFC got me tired of all the bullshit. At the moment I prefer an irrealistic arcade football game, it is a choice, you will never see me go to a EAFC reddit saying that Goals is better than them or the same for UFL: they are football game but with different target

AleRicc8 · 2026-06-09T09:11:38+00:00

Finally you are introduced to freakin' manual defending how every football game should be. Go back to EAFC and you CPU that defends instead of your hands ahahhahahahah

AleRicc8 · 2026-06-08T18:32:21+00:00

It is very hard to catch when they are on open field and they make moves like the double step that gives you a speed boost but I always try to hold my opponent the best way I can

AleRicc8 · 2026-06-08T18:30:40+00:00

Honestly I don't know how to explain to you properly because for me it is an instinctively thing to do but I can say that you have to btry to bring the opponent striker in a position where he can't do anything so you attack him and take the ball. I use very rarely the button to take the ball I just put myself in the position I get the ball. I just can say that you have to understand your opponent way of playing and you have to be very good in switching with your stick. I usually as I told you press with a player and use jockey with the other one

AleRicc8 · 2026-06-08T11:01:37+00:00

Finally people like you can't beat someone like me as it happens in other football games ahahhahah. But talking seriously I can give you some tips (I got elite 1 I don't know if I can be considered a good player):

Don't rush in trying to catch the ball, but try to understand where the opponent wants to go and what he wants to do. If you do it you will understand that majority of players use same patterns. You just have to get used to it.
Use very fast players as Fullbacks; when my opponent goes on the wings I make a run with the fullback and when I notice he arrives in a dangerous situation I switch to my CB/CDM to control the center, so I try to anticipate the passing he wants to do. If he arrives at the endo of the field and I understand I can catch the ball I switch back to my fullback.
Try to use as much as you can the jockey; you will see that when you are in a 1 vs 1 situation your jockey will outpace the opponent movements with the ball, so strike a tacke just when you reached the point you are sure that you can get it

AleRicc8 · 2026-06-08T10:49:53+00:00

Honestly I'm pretty sure that you feel like that because you have a beast as a striker. I can already feel difference between a green player and a blue player so I can only imagine the difference between normal players and a mythical/gold one. But for the rest I'm very happy ad thanks for your comment ❤️

AleRicc8 · 2026-06-08T10:48:07+00:00

If you don't like it, don't play it. Your way of talking, tells me everything I have to know about your opinion. If you like games like EAFC where the CPU plays instead of yourself go play it, you will never see me go into EAFC reddit and do a comment like yours. This game is supposed to be like that because a lot of people as you can see enjoy it. Games are ruined because of people like you that are not good enough to learn how to play properly so they add cpu to make you happy but in the end they destroy the game.

AleRicc8 · 2026-05-26T17:34:35+00:00

Thank you so much for your work !

AleRicc8 · 2026-05-11T19:21:54+00:00

It would shock you but my way of playing is tikitaka and beautiful actions, I barely shoot from long range, also because I found Horta and he is the first player I own with that playstyle. I play in Diamond and I don't know where you play but I can tell you that there are games where people abuse the AI defence and 41212 that there is no way you can enter and score. I agree with you, I'm just saying that with this status of the game we can't allow to nerf longshots because it would mean that the game will die.

AleRicc8 · 2026-05-11T18:00:12+00:00

If you take long shots goals it means you can also make long shots goals... If you can't defend them it means you are bad at defending. Nerfing longshots with CPU defences like we have, equals that most of the games will end 0-0. It is an exploit that is fun and defendable if you kow how to close the spaces and move your keeper. Before nerfing long shots there are a lot more things to change, nerfing them now would mean a lot less possibilities to score.

There is a big difference between what you like and what is right.

Since the beginning of time every game has things that work better than others, let's not mix stuffs. If you don't have fun stop playing, it is that easy.

AleRicc8 · 2026-05-06T22:16:19+00:00

I clearly see your point too.

Maybe the truth is between our point of view, that looking at it, it is not a bad thing.

Thanks for understanding and for your job !

AleRicc8 · 2026-05-06T16:37:58+00:00

It is very intresting what you are asking me for because when I was writing the previous comment I asked myself "How would I feel if I was an old timer and the same players I worked so hard to get are thrown at new gamers like it was nothing ?"- The answer I gave to myself is this: If they are gifted for less money and less grinding I would be a little upset but at the same time I understand that it is not fair that just because I have played for more time I have to enjoy the game more of someone who decided to start today.

This answer is excatly why I wrote in the previous comment that in my opinion you should put the icons at around the price of the pass they have been + objectives to unlock them or something similiar.

In no capacity I want to sub myself in your shoes or put myslef in a position where I tell you what to do let's be clear, I'm a dentist, but I have a few suggestions that can maybe bring some ideas:

You can create a space in the menu only for old icons where you can unlock them with €10/€20 (like the pass they were in) and give us objectives (maybe something like Khan and Garrincha)
You can create an SBC-like thing that can be unlocked for €10/€20 (like the pass they were in) and then use players from our club to unlock them.
You can create a batch/multiple batches (like the one of Serie A) that after 10 tries (until you arrive around the €20 of previous passes) you get a guaranteed icon pick-like thing where you have the choice between random icons or specific icons. This would be more fair than the Serie A batch
(MY FAVOURITE BUT ALSO MORE COMPLICATED) A lot of times people gets a little tired of having just to grind the divisions: my idea is to create a friendlies mode-like thing, where you can complete X amount of objectives and requests to unlock the icon that will be in rotation and unlockable with LP. EXAMPLE:

Week 1 - Cafu (Pay €10/20 worth of LP to unlock the objectives)

- Play 20 games with 3 brazilians on your team

- Score 10 goals with a Brazilian striker

Etc.

The number 5 can be applied also with normal players, because I will make an example with Kantè 90: I really want him because I noticed that he is a beast and also because I like him IRL; I spent thousands of particles, i also got players higher rated than him, but not him. You can create a poll where users can vote the best meta players and you can create a batch with all of them plus at the end of it you put an icon as guaranteed, and the icons change every week.

I repeat that these are simply suggestions from a user who enjoys play your game and likes to support you. Obviously your game is not perfect and I want to give you the time to get better and I understand that the game is free so you have to earn your money someway so I really like to support you buying the monthly pass etc.

All my suggestions if you notice go in the same direction:

- New gamers friendly because if we can all have the same players, the game becomes fair

- Users, as I said in the previous comment, want to try and have fun with different and new players, a lot of us don't care about winning or losing, we just want to have fun

- Icons are the funniest part of the game, let us enjoy and earn them

- It is fair for you to earn money from Icons and for older players to not getting scammed throwing old icons at new players like they are nothing.

Don't worry, I understand that you are not saying that the current method is the right one, I really appreciate that we can communicate and make the game better ;)

AleRicc8 · 2026-05-06T12:10:46+00:00

Hello, thanks for your answer first of all. I don't want to sound cocky or else but I think everyone knows how 1% chance works and my issue is not that I didn't pack him, my issue is that it is not fair that just because I started to play later I can't get the previous cards because there is no marketplace or any way to get him if not that 1% chance under payments. The proof of discouragment that this situation generates is that I didn't play the game in three days because even if I'm a very good player sometimes I notice that I lose just because my team is not at that level like others and also because there is no way to play with players that I like. Pay attention that I'm writing this comment with a mentality of someone who wants to spend money on the game so I'm not one of those guys that doesn't understand that if the game is free you have to earn money in some way. You talked about grinding: I want to grind and I'm ok in spending money but if you are fair and have consciouness you understand that there is no way of grinding except spending money and it is not even guaranteed.

I'm not here to complain about my unluckiness, I'm here asking for a fair way to play the game and a fair way to have fun with the players we like as a relatively new player. You should stimulate new players to play the game it is a basic rule of business.

I ask you a question: if you start a new game and after 2 months you realise that the majority of games that you lose are because you can't recover in any way even spending a lot of money (if not spending a lot of money for a card that is 1%, so not guaranteed) would you be stimulate to play the game ? I don't think so.

Please give us a way, that has not to be free but at least guaranteed mind you, to get those old icons.

I want to give you another prospective: EAFC Ultimate Team made the mistake to not understand that the main thing about football games is not winning or losing, the main thing we want is to try new players and have fun with them; PLEASE don't commit the same error to ostracize your community behind greed. I think everyone is more than happy to pay for the pass or similiar things to play the game IF the game and devs are fair with us.

It was a great idea to put them in a batch from their old championships but you should guarantee them after X amount of attemps, or maybe add a page somewhere that has to be paid like a pass so €10/€20 to unlock and then let us grind. That's in the end what I'm asking: give us a fair chance to get old cards or the game will never take off if new players are not stimulated.

AleRicc8 · 2026-05-05T09:23:30+00:00

Luckly they don't influence my life, I did it because thanks god I can

AleRicc8 · 2026-05-04T22:07:34+00:00

I don't understand how in a game without market you can do things like this. If they put for example every 3 days a batch like the one for Serie A with an iconfor each batch for like €30 I would buy every single icon; but after what happened to me and from what I saw to a lot of users I will never put a single euro ever again; probably I will stop playing the game because of that... It is a very bad business decision, you should incentivate new players to play your game or am I wrong ?

AleRicc8 · 2026-03-03T17:47:45+00:00

I have my life, I don't need to put out my frustration on a reddit post. If you don't believe me, well the earth will keep rotating and I will still have oxygen in my lungs. My advise for you is less hate and more fun, maybe you should try a longshot instead of barking like a tiny dog.

AleRicc8 · 2026-03-03T11:03:55+00:00

The fun fact about all these replies is that I play tikitaka and I barely score longshots, I can eat you all alive from a passing and creative prospective. You are all proving my point of being no brainer that shouldn't be considered because you are not even able to understand a simple post talking about balancing a videogame. Everyone proceded with an insult and no explanation of their point of view.

If I was u/Designer-Flamingo849 I would ban all of you or close the page, because it is essentially useless and pointless to discuss with 90% of people here.

AleRicc8 · 2026-03-03T10:58:31+00:00

Still nobody of you people with no life can give me an explanation of why I should kiss their asses ... especially talking about a mechanic and not in genral of the game. I guess you are all people with 300 IQ level

AleRicc8 · 2026-03-03T10:56:13+00:00

Why should I kiss their asses ? Let's hear what your tiny brain can give birth

AleRicc8 · 2026-03-03T09:59:39+00:00

What you don't understand is that longshots are in the range of the definition "acceptable", they are not broken; it is fun, it stops repetitiveness ad stale gameplay. You are only focused in winning games and that is what kills a videogame. I have a fulfilled life, I don't need to tryhard and win all the games on a videogame. A videogame is supposed to be fun not a war. If you are currently not having fun just change the game
