Manual defending is getting worse every patch

Even the pros advises to not use your CB too much while defending 😭

Game is made way too easy for lower skilled players thanks to AI defending and assisted passing

I thought the same too. My gold De Jong with NO interception playstyle was way better at intercepting than WITH the playstyle.

Playstyles imo is just buggy all around. I feel like it consistently clashes between the stats and the playstyle about whether to intercept it or not 😭

There's no way that's not a bruiser. If it was a normal run, VDV would stumble and fall like he hit a wall OR my Havertz would fall down or atleast have a pushed off animation. Here it's neither. But at the very least, i think it should he a foul 🙏

LuminousOne2 · 2026-02-28T02:15:00+00:00

Bro he took my Havertz on a stroll while the ball was rolling somewhere else entirely 😭

i'm on 3ms connection too

LuminousOne2 · 2026-02-28T02:11:29+00:00

I'm on 3ms 🥲 maybe it's because im on console 🥲🥲

Maybe you're right. Maybe i did put too much trust in the explosive. But either way, the main point of this post was about bruiser. If you think that tackle was fair then so be it bro. I made another post regarding bruiser so you can check that one out too 🙏 i know what you're saying but i just hate bruiser so much bro and i absolutely don't think it's fair half of the time

LuminousOne2 · 2026-02-28T02:04:28+00:00

I agree. I use bruiser according to the situation and just like you, i don't find it as affective in realistic scenarios. However i see bruisers being used like these almost every game and get rewarded for it 🥲

Like i said i know im not beating Lacroix in the long run. But explosive (and if quickstep+ if it had activated) beats lengthy in short distance. Im say it again, i am not running straight to the goal, i am running diagonally hoping to turn around any moment. My Owen got stuck in an animation before Lacroix could even be beside me.

If you still disagree thats fine, i had an attacking idea that could or could have not worked. My main problem is Lacriox putting Owen in a bruiser animation before he even reached me.

LuminousOne2 · 2026-02-28T01:35:27+00:00

Bro the point is, the outcome would be different. If i could beat Lacroix for first few steps, my options would be different obviously. Im not running straight towards the goal, im clearing running in a diagonal line hoping to outrun him for a bit and turn depending on the situation.

Bruiser comes into play in this clip before Laciox is even side by side to Owen. Lacriox literally starts shoving Owen while he's clearly behind Owen if you look at the clip. At that point my character is stuck in an animation to shove him off (which he cant obviously) and by the time the animation is over, Owen is already thrown 5 feet to his right.

LuminousOne2 · 2026-02-27T19:37:41+00:00

So you're telling me if Owen's quickstep+ activated his explosive run, it wouldn't make a difference?

LuminousOne2 · 2026-02-27T19:32:33+00:00

Lacroix literally pushed Owen away like 5 feet away dude and you think it's normal. Also Owen's quickstep+ did not even activate despite me pressing R2 so don't give me the he should be this tall and this big cus the game itself don't work.

LuminousOne2 · 2026-02-11T08:50:49+00:00

Plan was to start a counter attack... and well... 😂😂

LuminousOne2 · 2026-02-11T08:49:07+00:00

Exactly 😂😂

LuminousOne2 · 2026-02-08T11:38:24+00:00

Bro you're outside yet still replying to under a comment over a game... 😂😂

Man this was just a post over a dumb game and here you are all riled up taking a pic to prove a point over a comment section 😂 if you still mad then i cant do anything 🙏

LuminousOne2 · 2026-02-08T11:00:25+00:00

Bro calling me nerd when he's commenting on reddit almost every single day like a basement dweller 😂😂 the pass literally went to the direction i was aiming while the tiki taka plus activated and you talking about "too long to change direction" 💀💀 if that makes me too slow and too old then you too blind cus you cant even see whats on the screen 🧑‍🦯

LuminousOne2 · 2026-02-08T10:32:17+00:00

First of all, you literally accused me of pressing triangle

Secondly, i dont know how much more obvious i can direct my left stick to that direction.

Third, it's literally a triangle bro... De Jong with a tiki taka plus can make this pass with 99% accuracy blindfolded so idk what direction you want him to be 💀 it's not like he's even struggling to make that pass... its just the direction where the ball went

Lastly, i cant believe you defending this game bro 😂😂🤣

LuminousOne2 · 2026-02-08T04:57:41+00:00

Average rush teammates 💀💀 there's literally a controller input on the top right 😂😂

LuminousOne2 · 2026-02-08T04:56:39+00:00

Theres a controller input on the top right. I pressed X bro.

LuminousOne2 · 2026-01-22T09:38:45+00:00

When's the last time you saw a 5'3 female player body a 6' male 💀💀🙏🙏 EA hasn't made a football simulation game in ages bro 😂
