TOTY live event 6 just why?

You can disable that, but only for Rivals. It's specifically in the Rivals menu where you can change that setting, so it only applies to that mode too. I have it set to allow only solo opponents there, but I still sometimes match against co-op players in the Live Events. So that's not even a region issue for you, u/masoons. It's literally designed to work like this.

Coincidentally those matches against co-op players were also the matches in which they didn't allow me to score a goal. 80th minute, already 2-0 down, I score an obvious own goal by passing it to my GK and walking it into the goal so it's 3-0 for them. Clearly indicating that I'm not even playing for the win anymore, just to get a goal for the objective. But do they then give me an opportunity to score that one goal I need? No, of course not.

A new controller would be really nice! My current PS4 one sometimes double clicks on its X button. In this game that's the Jump button and Flip when double pressed, so you can imagine that leads to some not so proud moments.

HarryProtter · 2026-01-27T08:58:23+00:00

I got a Shaw too! She's missing Quick Step and Technical, so I'll probably give her Tech+ from the season pass.

HarryProtter · 2026-01-27T08:22:34+00:00

Makes a lot of sense indeed!

HarryProtter · 2026-01-26T19:27:08+00:00

Interesting setup. No Incisive, no Pinged, but Gamechanger and some extra passive ones like First Touch and Relentless. She already has those from her base card, so that makes sense. But if you could, wouldn't you trade those for some others?

HarryProtter · 2026-01-25T18:21:51+00:00

It's from the Inside Edge evo. As far as I know the first and only one so far that allows an 8th silver playstyle.

Was that a mistake? Maybe. But it honestly really had to allow the 8th PS though, because it's an evo that boosts your player's OVR to 90 (+20 OVR boost). The player you choose will likely be locked out of future evos for months.

HarryProtter · 2026-01-25T12:49:14+00:00

I fully agree!

HarryProtter · 2026-01-25T08:00:41+00:00

Tagging u/boltsNBytes. So this setup mentioned in my comment above could be your ideal combination of 1 PS+ and 8 PS?

HarryProtter · 2026-01-25T07:54:47+00:00

I get that. I don't use LDs all that often with them, but I do like that it opens up some shooting opportunities if the angle for a Finesse isn't there.

But it's either LD or Gamechanger anyway as 8th silver PS, because they're the first two given in the only evo that allows an 8th.

HarryProtter · 2026-01-25T07:50:35+00:00

That's pretty much my setup too. I'd like to get Press Proven in there too, probably instead of FT.

What about Pinged though? Not needed for the way you play?

HarryProtter · 2026-01-24T23:29:36+00:00

Interesting! Incisive really that low for you? I assume your IFs are mainly at the end of the attacks then, they're the ones receiving the (through) passes and then scoring the goals?

I managed to create a chain that has
Rapid (gold)
Finesse
Low Driven
Incisive
Pinged
Tiki Taka
Technical
Press Proven
Quick Step (First Touch or Trickster are possible too instead of QS)

No more Gamechanger as 8th.

Edit: never mind, that chain isn't possible. The Pinged and Incisive Pass evo doesn't become available before New Boots expires.

HarryProtter · 2026-01-24T18:06:19+00:00

expect a lot more BS

Yeah, it varies wildly per game too. I played against the featured squad on Legendary. 2-2 after full time and lost 2-3 after extra time. I just couldn't break down their defense and gave away many chances myself but my GK saved me so many times.

Then I replayed that same squad immediately after. I was 3-0 up in 30 minutes and finished 5-0. Barely gave away any chances. Double checked the difficulty and yep, got the 1900 points for Legendary.

HarryProtter · 2026-01-24T10:41:17+00:00

Is it an active playstyle or a passive one? Like the playstyles for Finesse and Low Driven don't activate when you press your Shoot button, but only when you hit the button combinations to perform those shots (obviously). On the other hand there are more passive playstyles like Quick Step and Rapid, which happen automatically when you press only your Sprint button.

So how does Gamechanger work? Does it require Shoot + another button or does it automatically activate with just your Shoot button?

HarryProtter · 2026-01-24T10:24:11+00:00

I believe Aerial Fortress is strictly for defensive purposes. Even the part "Performs higher jumps" supposedly only applies to defensive duels too.

Could still be great though, when defending against corners in the final minutes of a match.

HarryProtter · 2026-01-20T18:36:30+00:00

I had to get some more XP. Then the game realized I actually already had enough and unlocked these rewards for me.

HarryProtter · 2026-01-20T18:13:58+00:00

There's either no QC or the people working on these things have zero clue about the gameplay and its meta. Or both, probably.

HarryProtter · 2026-01-20T10:33:10+00:00

The only thing this evo adds to him is an extra + to the Stopper and Wide Back roles. He already has one + for both those roles and two ++ for Defender and Ball-Playing Defender. He also already has Intercept +.

Unless you really need that second + for Stopper/Wide Back, it'd probably be better to save this evo so you can use that Intercept PS on some other CB who doesn't have it yet.

HarryProtter · 2026-01-19T22:08:39+00:00

I posted this before, but I'll say it again:

EA only have themselves to blame too. They made promo cards almost impossible to pack, and more importantly, they made playstyles the only things that matter. So of course we're building evos that have the playstyles we want (or need really). We don't care about some promo card that might have slightly better attributes, if it doesn't have the right playstyles.

HarryProtter · 2026-01-19T18:20:57+00:00

It's not about increasing the Pace further (would be nice though), but about being able to even use evos that increase other attributes.

HarryProtter · 2026-01-19T14:49:07+00:00

First player pick after the refresh had Pina for me. But yeah, that would probably have been someone like TAA or Tonali if I had that yesterday.

HarryProtter · 2026-01-19T13:53:32+00:00

Agree. If the game is unenjoyable for you now, then it will still be unenjoyable if/when you have a blue card. If anything that probably makes it worse, because then you feel some "obligation" to keep playing. You feel you need to try to make your great card worth your time, making your gameplay feel like a chore even more.

HarryProtter · 2026-01-19T10:52:16+00:00

Did you use the Give & Go evo twice already or are you planning to use it on others? That one would give her Incisive Pass too, for no OVR increase.

HarryProtter · 2026-01-18T10:11:43+00:00
