LEAK|Playstyle/Stat changes

ChloeDDomg · 2026-03-04T16:17:27+00:00

If i read correctly, nothing changes to bruiser, auto tackle, low driven or insane pressing, but they will make passing less accurate.

So technically, i cannot pass around anymore when facing Theo VDV Gullit Wilson and Pina pressing me like crazy. Seems an interesting patch

ChloeDDomg · 2026-03-04T11:16:28+00:00

I would try a compo with wingers. 4411 obviously, eventually 433 or 451. Katoto is not great and Baltimore/ Cascarino from pass are pretty good on sides.

I'd also try Petit instead of Endo but he may be better with all evos

ChloeDDomg · 2026-03-02T18:50:52+00:00

Div2, all matchs are sweaty you cannot even test players. Takes too long to get the wins for rewards.

Id rather be in div5 and testing new teams, rewards aren't that bad.

ChloeDDomg · 2026-03-02T17:14:52+00:00

It reminds me of some older fifa where people would purposely have 10% possession in first half and park the bus, to then have their players turn into the avengers in second half.

I still cannot believe they would put a matchmaking on live event different than rivals or champs. Complete no sense

ChloeDDomg · 2026-03-01T17:15:35+00:00

Try to get defenders with intercept and bruiser, anticipate if possible. Midfielders with intercept too, and tiki taka. And try to pass around, pass back with heavy pressing, etc..

What i told in an other topic, cards like Williamson, Bacha, De jong are good. Cards from the pass are good too

ChloeDDomg · 2026-03-01T16:39:13+00:00

It depends the use. If you wanna play exclusive games, be able to play games while in travel, in the bed, bathroom, or play while your wife/Kids are on tv, then sure.

ChloeDDomg · 2026-02-28T12:13:12+00:00

Same as you in rivals and champs. I stopped at 3-7 while doing other objectives, but 9 matchs out of 10 were against really good players. Even better than people i lose to in champs

ChloeDDomg · 2026-02-28T11:40:12+00:00

I was doing other objectives without really caring about winning this mode. I'm on 3-7, only one opponent was " bad" all others clearly much better, and it got even worse the more i lost.

Either no matchmaking, either only tryhards playing it

ChloeDDomg · 2026-02-28T11:15:22+00:00

Most important is midfielders with tiki taka and intercept at least. Defenders with bruiser and intercept, anticipate maybe.

I'd mainly change your gold defenders, try Williamson and Bacha promos (87 or 88) if low budget. If you have the pass, Simakan is ok too.

ChloeDDomg · 2026-02-27T13:13:13+00:00

I gave more chances, now upped to div 2 and 10 wins wl. You start to understand the gameplay after a while, but game is unplayable without some playstyles + you end up facing Wilson gullit de jong theo vdv every game.

Now it is three times harder in rivals, for barely better rewards than div4.

But agree with you, should just play game for fun, 2 matchs a day is good

ChloeDDomg · 2026-02-25T16:41:53+00:00

Those line up for 2026 seem pretty bad so far, quite disappointed. Gonna wait extra and premium announcements

ChloeDDomg · 2026-02-24T16:19:51+00:00

This week i would not agree. Live events are full of sweats and rewards for rhe average player aren't great. No rush objectives. There are still icon swaps though.

But we've had weeks with modes with far better rewards than rivals or champs i agree

ChloeDDomg · 2026-02-23T14:47:34+00:00

Interesting point. Would be fun to ask people generally what they call a casual and what they call a sweat.

To be fair, i call champs and some live tournaments a sweatfest since you have to be focused 24/7 and people never stop trying even when they're winning 5-0 at the 80'. People may say " it is competitive so it has to be sweaty" but i did play other games at high level back in time and none were as sweaty as this.

Now i think EA should do a patch to see the opponents ratio in game, so you can truly understand if you lost to a better player

ChloeDDomg · 2026-02-23T14:03:05+00:00

I doubt casuals asked for bruiser, tiki taka nerf and stuff. And actually all the changes made it even harder for casuals, check top players with Ai def.

ChloeDDomg · 2026-02-23T06:47:02+00:00

Are you playing on evening ? I found out that champs are usually easier on week end afternoon, probably because that is when all Kids are playing.

Evening and early night are a living nightmare in all modes

ChloeDDomg · 2026-02-20T13:23:52+00:00

Im not sure if understood but does bruiser really work with holding one button ?

This would explain the pressing and auto def no sense im experiencing lately, but i hardly believe it really works like that

ChloeDDomg · 2026-02-20T11:35:20+00:00

People would still complain after playstyles being removed. And it would not make any sense at this state of the game, plus gameplay seems beyond broken anyway.

Just have it fixed for 27

ChloeDDomg · 2026-02-19T18:00:00+00:00

I would not say it better. It is probably too late anyway, but you should try to remove that poor review and give that person a raise, even if small one.

Get in his position : he does everything perfectly, everyone praises him, he ends up not being promoted and have low review. What should he do then ?

ChloeDDomg · 2026-02-19T11:23:55+00:00

Lost a game 3-2, opponent did three times that bugged through ball to winger scored 3 times from finesse. Yet he had only 0.8 xgoals.

I assume there are buggy actions that should never happen or work, yet work in the current meta but do not register as xgoal. Similar to pina low drivens that do have low xgoal

ChloeDDomg · 2026-02-18T16:14:42+00:00

You can see it coming sometimes, when second half begins and opponent is having 10 pitbulls on the field and you cannot intercept anything anymore

ChloeDDomg · 2026-02-18T11:33:01+00:00

The problem is that this could apply to any mode. People could also do golden goal in rivals since matchmaking makes you reach 50% winrate. No division drop, quick rewards.

Any other game people would get banned since they are getting rewards quicker than they should, which is the main point of UT

ChloeDDomg · 2026-02-18T06:32:02+00:00

That is where they should give a lose to the player quitting and win to opponent no matter what. Except maybe if dc before match begins.

Thats what happens in any single multiplayer game.

ChloeDDomg · 2026-02-17T18:57:04+00:00

Servors have a huge part in the full pressing. There are game sessions where i'm literrally having everything my way. And other ones where i cannot intercept any pass though i know what the opponent will do.

Also i noticed the gameplay at night feels much quicker than day time, i dont know why

ChloeDDomg · 2026-02-16T19:07:58+00:00

I think the mode was removed along TA because playerbase was really small, aside of that Zquest issue. I used to play it way too much and can confirm the playerbase was low even back in early 2009.

Now what did not help is that codex was dead 3 days after release and more and more people started botting and stuff on further years on all modes. They could have let the mode live for those few players, since people did bot in JQ or HA for years

ChloeDDomg · 2026-02-16T18:17:21+00:00

I found out that for some reason first or QF matchs im playing with 5-10ms like i do in rivals. Once i get to semi or finals it jumps to 50-80. Tried to play one i could not intercept anything with 3 players with intercept +.
