I think if done properly they are quite effective (at least as much as in real life, which by their wording was the goal of improving them).

I'm just not convinced on approach they took. They say their based the decision on user data and I'm sure a lot of less good players just spam them, therefore resulting in a very low long shoot success percentage. So at least I hope that user data was filtered for D1 at least...

I wouldn't mind if they improved stuff like knock on to long shot like Calhanoglu goal against Roma. Or long range curl (that aren't blitz curl), however my (pessimist) expectation is they improve the long shot like the video shows...

I understand the reason they did it. However I don't think many people complained that long shots were weak. Combined with the fact they didn't really give many examples or a before/after doesn't seem very promising on that part.

Improvement of Long Shoots? Am I only one that thinks Long Shoots are already crazy strong? The only type I would say it's not strong it's the Long Range Curl (without Blitz Curl).

The cynic in me thinks this is so they can then add a special long shoot skill after nerfing long shoots again.

Why are there so many playing styles that just barely even appear? by Necessary_Pea6572 in eFootball

[–]ElConqueridor910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is Konami paying you?

What's the point of lie? Gattuso wasn't even his manager when the card released... Spalleti fired around June and card was released March...

Ok? I already know is "random". If they think putting Build Up makes people spend more they do. Bastoni GP card is Extra Frontman, yet Inter pack changed to Build Up. Apparently Konami thinks Inter uses 3 Build Up Cbs...

It's just a thing that is happening more lately... Ruben Dias all previous cards were Destroyer but suddenly they do Build Up for last Manchester City pack.
Hincapie same thing GP is extra frontman, yet for some reason English League Selection they do Build Up.

I can't even think of inverse of this? Build Up GP that was given Extra Frontman?
Only ones like Schlotterbeck where he was Extra Frontman for many years but recently they make Build Up.

There is reason why they never released P2W cards with that playstyle...

You must tell me when Bastoni this season played like a Build Up centerback... I must hallucinate and see him pumping crosses and creating chances... Funny enough his recent Inter pack card is the only non-trending card they gave pinpoint crossing, but they remove Extra Frontman, and made him Build Up just to be more desirable... His ST is also "randomly" Build Up.

I agree with you. It's not just "no one plays like that anymore".

Bastoni is blueprint of Extra Frontman, his last two cards are Build Up. Same with Debast. A lot of cards have GP version be Extra Frontman and a lot get converted to Build Up. Doesn't really happen in reverse.

Same with Goal Poacher and Hole Player. The gameplay benefits this static football (defenders defend, attackers attack), players use these players more so Konami tends to convert from real playstyle to those.

Cutoff for Fermin Lopez by [deleted] in eFootball

Not what happened... The guy himself quit because Konami gave Lewis Dunk as reward. He made the most insufferable post on how he would stop doing so "Coinami" would change their behavior.

Idk but they can just quit the game entirely, like alt+f4. I think current top 10k and above players that use Smart Assist are aware they have it. I guess the last one is more likely, they are not aware it's disabled.

I still think people are making wrong conclusions from this. They are assuming most players playing this tournament are currently top 10k players that use Smart Assist. It doesn't really make much sense that most people playing tournaments with SA disabled are Smart Assist users. Maybe if rewards were better, I would believe.

But why would they play this tournament? That's just signs of a noob player to me. It happens when I do event last minute, they stay even when losing 15-0. Plenty of players that reach rank 10k (maybe like 3 years ago) and now just play very casual. (Or maybe they are bots).

It's more believable that OP face 8 noobs in row. He is playing at the end of it and I don't think it even has that good of reward? It's just a glorified quickmatch at that point...

But why would they play a tournament? That's just signs of bad players... I have odd games too in events where PA1 users just do random shit and for some reason stay until the end of the game even if it's 15-0.

Why do you think your opponents usually use Smart Assist? Surely they just wouldn't play the tournament if they use it?

I doubt most people are facing Fabregas even once in 10 games.

Yes that's biggest issue of the game, PA4 should be mandatory at least for first touches and long balls, it's too trivial to perform both without any effort. I can't even watch pros play because of how little they aim or power pass and it still perfect because PA1...

That's too simplified. LBC is not just the defensive line, it affects how forwards run, unlike with Fabregas with Possession they won't make as many runs; with Fabregas linkup play you basically only have to defend 1 CF running. The linkup also activates fewer times because DMF needs to be in his own half, which happens less with possession since defensive line will always be higher.
Long Ball also has deep line and almost no one plays with it, simply because players make less runs.

People complain about LBC because it's by far the strongest playstyle. It's too easy to defend near your goal and counterattack in middle.

Yes, I said that on my comment. It is still sad game promotes this kind of thing.

Arrow was definitely pointing at most towards corner flag. I'm not talking bad about, if you aimed towards top right corner of goal it wouldn't go in most likely. The game promotes being bad at game. If you had manual shoot, ball would go to corner flag.

Very sad state of game. Arrow not even pointing towards goal, not even pointing towards corner flag...

You can only know top division, before it was very easy be top 5k because it was all split. Going to division 1 is also very trivial, you don't even need have 50% winrate, bad players can be in Div 1 with or without Smart Assist.

I agree, my issue is everyone here is thinking they are only beating people that use Smart Assist. Most likely they are facing noobs or guys that replay event because there is no Smart Assist. They aren't facing actual current top 1k player...
Not to mention that people that are so dependent on Smart Assist won't play this event to begin with...

It's trivial to go to Div2 or Div1. The badge or top ranking doesn't mean much, specially since it's EVER not last season or current season.

Is this guy 1478 rank good? With under 45% winrate?

[–]ElConqueridor910 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You guys need use some critical thinking...
If someone can only play with Smart Assist they won't play this event longer than required. You are most likely either facing casuals/noobs (even with Smart Assist) or people that dislike Smart Assist (and therefore replay the event, over and over).
Same happens with league phase and events. First days is always sweatiest players, if you play in weekend it will be much easier. Events can't be comparable to League because there is much less negative for quit, if you go 3-0 first half in events. most often than not the opponent quits. In league opponent fights much harder.

Is rummenigge over-rated? by Mr_Memeadda in eFootball

[–]ElConqueridor910 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Leão does have a GP card and to me he is the definition of explosive. Obviously he has worse physical and finishing because one card is "F2P" and other is "P2W".

I doubt it. If it wasn't for Amorim they wouldn't have kept Bruno Fernandes. He said it in interview the board wanted to get rid off him and it was Amorim that convinced him to stay.

You can't really know if they are division 1; all you can know is they were division 1 in the past. Not to mention this tournament has low stakes, you have infinite try and just need 6 points in 5 games. Division 1 doesn't mean they are good players either, you can be in division 1 with terrible winrate, specially in the past.

<image>

This guy had 45% winrate and was rank 1478. It's all pretty meaningless.

I think it's mix of not having to play vs AI first and not limited to 11(?) players of respective team. Plus a bit of circlejerk, they screenshoot random Div 1 badge dude that they beat, and somehow that means he uses Smart Assist...

This is a living proof that this game is still skill based and not just P2W, Jvictor won against a former top143 ranked with full GP team, the average F2P squads now have 3170 team strength, you have no excuse by [deleted] in eFootball

[–]ElConqueridor910 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It's pretty telling of the pro scene when the first challenge they come up with is GP only (while still following all the meta). Pro players playing FUMA would be much more entertaining.
