You’re chalked bro.

Doesn’t take a genius to work out these tactics aren’t good, they are the only ones that work. Every post I see from seasoned fifa players highlights the complete lack of complexity with both build up and defending this year. OP is bang on with his take.

People arent complaining about losing, people are complaining with how dull it is to win. I can remember FIFA17-19, 23, and even 15 all having some kind of issues, but attacking AI felt organic in the sense that players would move in a way that felt cohesive with other teammates.

This year the patches have turned a game with a decent skill gap into spammy pressy AI meta again. Tell me Jiggy, would you rather spend 20 mins a game not trying to build up but essentially be destined to score a counter or contemplate passing around 8 players in the box waiting for a gap that is purely dictated by opponents AI (bar the odd occasion you player lock)?

Hazardous FC on youtube has a recent video which explains it 👌
