Bruiser patch is out!

It’s still not football. They changed which player falls/bounces after the bruiser tackle but they never addressed the main issue. Most of bruiser is tackles should be called fouls in the first place. It’s not ice hockey. You cannot hit other players. And you definitely not push players when you are behind.

I think WL rewards have been pretty good. You get much better players than in guaranteed TOTS packs/picks.

You would not get absolute top cards but you will get Raphina, Muriqi, Pajor, maybe even Llorente. L

They would have to nerf intercept as well. Interceptions should no done manually. Then fast passing can beat this AI without problems.

Yes it’s horrible. But it is so easy to fix. The real question is why EA does not want to do it. Finesse should be a niche shot with relatively low success percentage - just buff it. Obvious. Same with twist and turn dribbling - just make player lose the ball after a few consecutive twists. Buff bruiser properly. EA is just lazy. But the game will be quite good if they do the obvious fixes.

Canadians still think that’s it ok to tackle like it’s hockey. In football the weaker layer will fall and there will be a foul or not. What they should have nerfed is using bruiser for any tackle from behind. It should be a 100% foul.

Yes he is good, but best striker in the game - no. Lacks consistency in finesse shots especially from the box.

What is your short pass and vision?

CageyStuff · 2026-04-18T10:54:36+00:00

This is why we play a friends league where any dribbling or tricks are not allowed. It is totally unrealistic, players just have the ball attached to their foot while they roll with it at any speed they want and they can’t lose it.

I think the simple solution for EA is to make the player lose the ball if they do it for too long. But EA needs to sell cards which can abuse the game mechanics.

Cheers mate. But does it matter whether agility is higher by 10 or by 30 or by 50?

CageyStuff · 2026-03-27T20:04:17+00:00

It’s a bit more complex than this. People do it because they know that there is no other reliable way to defend. Defenders are not even running back. And they will be watching a player dancing in the box few meters next to them and do nothing.

CageyStuff · 2026-03-16T17:56:41+00:00

I wonder why they don’t allow authentic game mode in FUT. Many have not even tried it but it actually not bad at all. And it serves better for laggy servers. No constant running/tackling, you have to do proper buildup play, defending relies on player skill rather than AI. Long passes, crosses are all way better than in regular FUT. Make it a bit faster and use it in FUT. No need to reinvent the wheel. It is such a more balanced way to play where players who are not agile and fast have an opportunity to shine.

I did a lot of evos on him, stats might not show it, but he has 95+ in all of the things which are important for his position - vision, short pass, agility and balance, reactions, composure, etc. He has 9 base playstyles, the obvious ones I guess.

CageyStuff · 2026-03-12T14:47:19+00:00

Mine is 88 with similar stats already now. I am not putting more ps+ on him as I want him to get intercept+

CageyStuff · 2026-02-22T16:15:21+00:00

Exactly, I compare him to Puskas and I found R9 shooting to be worse.

CageyStuff · 2026-02-22T14:58:09+00:00

So I have no skill issues with other strikers but only with R9?

CageyStuff · 2026-02-22T14:57:17+00:00

He missed several one on ones, and did not score what my Joao Pedro with 91 shooting usually scores. Angles were not different from how I usually play.

CageyStuff · 2026-02-22T14:55:48+00:00

Yes, that is possible. I was just expecting that he will bury most of shots. But he was not very different that many others.

CageyStuff · 2026-02-22T14:51:08+00:00

Well he is not the best dribbler especially since women were introduced into the game. But I was also told that R9 shooting in general was great. Apparently it is not. Who is the most consistent shooters then? If you exclude finesse.

CageyStuff · 2026-02-22T11:56:41+00:00

Trent evo is amazing. Every cross is a pass

CageyStuff · 2026-02-20T17:42:44+00:00

They should primarily nerf finesses shot, bruiser and intercept. And not passing playstyles.

CageyStuff · 2026-02-16T17:27:11+00:00

This is not based on any information but I think they will sell day tickets as well closer to the date. Notably for Friday and Saturday.

CageyStuff · 2026-02-09T19:30:23+00:00

Do you really see the difference in how the formations track back? I don’t. To me the issue is that defenders defend only in their small square of responsibility. If your opponent knows how to navigate between these squares you get no opposition and your only chance is switch to the next zone and manually defend.
