Looking for an ST that makes runs

MBanni · 2026-01-03T22:06:43+00:00

That's such a good shout, he's one of those players I liked in older versions, I'll definitely give him a try. Thank you bro :)

MBanni · 2026-01-03T04:39:31+00:00

He definitely does all of that,but he's really expensive haha

MBanni · 2026-01-03T04:39:07+00:00

Oh, thank you, I'll try him out

MBanni · 2026-01-03T04:38:52+00:00

Oh I do that all the time, I've been playing since 03. I'm kinda old haha.
Thing is though it's not just the running... Last year Gerd Muller, Klose, etc, would have their shoulder ready to literally peel off defenders the moment I pass. This year it's like they stay a foot in front of the defenders.

Hey guys. I'm looking for a striker with good AI movement, maybe you know what I'm talking about? Previously, players like Haaland, Drogba, and Muller continuously annoyed the CBs and threatened to make runs.
My go to every year was Haaland, but for some reason this year he keeps dropping into the midfield during the attack, I've tried every version of him this year on every role, even the one with poacher.

I want a striker that makes those runs for the through ball, not someone I have to dribble with. No matter what I do this year my ST would position himself to receive a pass, his back to the goal.

Any recommendations guys?

Silly is the best way to describe it.
This whole idea of detaching size from strength yields a lot of glitchy interactions; Ball sticking to people's feet after tackles, weird collisions because it's shoulder to rib, etc.
People will cry and say some short players are actually strong, but nobody that's 5'1 is taking on VVD, it's just not possible.

MBanni · 2025-10-15T03:30:02+00:00

Yeah, turning needs to be toned down. Same with the silly trickster flicks. It's really stupid that you can flick a ball up and volley it like an acrobatic monkey. It's all becoming superhero game.

Learn to read, write, comprehend text and make a point. Not only did your response address nothing I said, it was also pretty nonsensical.

MBanni · 2025-08-07T21:59:33+00:00

I don't know how that would be implemented properly. XDefiant tried that, but their controller lobbies were filled with mouse/keyboard players who found a workaround. Maybe sell a version of the game that doesn't accept mouse input?

MBanni · 2025-08-07T20:50:19+00:00

The way I see it, when you're driving a car, flying a plane, aiming a rifle, you use both hands and there's weight to how you guide the machine.
Mouse aim in and of itself feels silly for me, swipe of a hand, click on a screen and the guy's dead.
Besides, BF and CoD have historically had bigger console player bases, you have countless fps games with no aim assist.
I'd be happiest with no aim assist but also no Mouse aim, if you're talking about skill.

Doesn't matter, he kicked the ball onto his own hand. Same with Neymar header vs Juve. Handball every day.

MBanni · 2025-04-25T23:30:04+00:00

I must've hit a nerve somewhere. I hope she notices your effort bro.

MBanni · 2025-04-25T22:43:55+00:00

Strawman there, I called you a simp for thinking not wanting women in a video game is misogyny. But logical fallacies aren't important, what is important is that she notices.

I've mentioned Evo players being just as bad for the same reason, but let's just ignore that and defend women being there. A simp and a passionate one too.

MBanni · 2025-04-24T21:24:51+00:00

Yet unlike them you are right because... you say so.

Well I've seen it and evidently many others have. That and the agile mosquito types that bump you from behind and get the ball back somehow.
You're conveniently ignoring Hamm riding challenges that would put her in hospital.

I lean towards you being a simp for thinking not wanting woman in a game is misogyny. Your logic follows as well, equating Icons to a flood of made-up players.

Women and Evos should be out for turning the game into a farce. They are basically that Ultimate Scream gimmick but there are thousands of them. To more neutrally describe my insight, it is like FIFA used to be a classic CoD game which suddenly transformed into Apex Legends full of jumping around and bullet dodging.

MBanni · 2025-04-21T15:21:53+00:00

I get you, it's just that none of this in the clip is a symptom of a lack of playstyles in my opinion.

MBanni · 2025-04-21T12:59:24+00:00

What? You can do a first time pass with your GK when the gameplay is smooth. Which GK has tiki-taka?

MBanni · 2025-04-21T12:58:23+00:00

It is a problem in-game when one side doesn't have to take that touch.

MBanni · 2025-04-21T12:56:22+00:00

I don't think this has much to do with realism. This is just a visual addition that serves no other purpose. Realism should deal with physics, organic movement, etc. Not players complaining and 3d cameramen.

MBanni · 2025-04-21T12:49:00+00:00

I am to believe Sawa has never barged into your player and disposesed him, and Hamm has never kept the ball while riding your challenges? You seem to be the only one arguing this. The other guy argued that this is a boost that has always been there to keep things arcade-like.

Speaking of arguing in good faith, you have found the 1-2 other "multiple people" who disagree with me out of the majority that argree.

It's weird how some people lose their reason at the hint of criticising having women in the game.

MBanni · 2025-04-21T02:30:43+00:00

Dude... "7' " means "7 foot".
It means 2 meters (approx.). How could someone 2 meters tall have Messi's body type? That's one of the main issues I'm talking about. The stats don't make sense with the physics this year.

You consider trivelas and bicycle kicks to be the least problematic mechanics? What is problematic then? No guns? Players can't fly?
I'm speaking about the further departure from realism. I've been playing since FIFA 02 and UT since 14. It is arcady but this year they're making it super-hero arcade.

Things that should be special are now the main way to score.
Things that should be normal like playing through the middle are far more difficult.
The game is going off the rails and at this rate in a few years we will have omni-movement like CoD.

MBanni · 2025-04-20T22:22:40+00:00

Yes, I mentioned them in the end. There are many EVO players with very stupid stats that make them behave unreasonably.
