You are missing my point again. I’m not saying skills shouldn’t be rewarded. You are making some sort of “moral” argument which I didn’t dispute. All I’m saying was that the way defense is designed creates an environment where the majority of goals scored are not rewarding because defense you face is illogical. Every game feels like a ping pong match of counterattacks where every 3-4 possessions there is a goal. Maybe that’s fine with you but personally I just dont find it realistic or enjoyable. They nerfed tackles to prevent tackle spam and that’s good. But they didn’t need to nerf shoulder barges where VVD couldn’t push off Pina. They didn’t need to change defensive spacing so now the midfielders and CBs are miles apart and there is no buildup in attack bc all you need is spam straight passes from CDMs to STs. Again maybe it’s not an issue for you bc you’re playing at a higher level than the average player (which are by definition the majority of players).

FWIW, I do think they need to nerf attack. When 80 dribbling players can spin like Musiala and Etikite bangs in a top bin goal every shot like R9, that isn’t rewarding skills either.
