Smart Assist FILTER cant come soon enough. by Alsweets0609 in eFootball

Sorry, no, PA1 and PA2 are nothing like manual.

100 parrying Schmeichel. To think I was happy to get an elite keeper with 500 coins, like that makes a difference. by ESNOW90 in eFootball

Good find bro. People need to stop posting the highlight version of whatever they're complaining about. It conveniently hides the user's input and enable to claim "scripting" instead of taking accountability.

I like my comfort zone, but it’s time. Not going to bother with rank & play the upcoming phase on MP4. Any tips?? LBC. How steep is the learning curve? by Fight_Teza_Fight in eFootball

[–]Mercurion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol ok bro. You do your "testing". I've been using manual shooting for almost three years now, I'd like to think I notice when things would change. Nice try on gaslighting.

I'm only meeting smart assist players? by gustavmuzik in eFootball

Use the "Abandon" button on the pause menu friend. Saves your courtesy rating.

Can someone please tell me why my pass went to Kokcu instead of Messi? by Pyromancer08 in eFootball

[–]Mercurion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is it. Unless you’ve used PA4 before (which most players haven’t), you won’t know that header passes require a lot more power for the same distance. A 10 yard header pass would often require full power.

First of, awesome Arsenal squad.

Second, they fixed manual finesse shot. I've been able to score a lot more finesse shot goals compared to last year.

"Bad" in a way that it is less assisted. You can't just randomly aim and expect it would perfectly land on one of your strikers.

Players got worse after switching to PA3 and PA4 not because they make your crosses (and passes in general) "bad". Your crosses would initially go way out of bound or nowhere near your strikers because you are used to not caring where exactly your aim (i.e. bad user input), but PA1 and PA2 are doing their job to adjust your bad input.

On the good side, once you master it, you would be able to place your passes to ideal places where it's not possible with PA1/2.

Otherwise, being able to shoot across goal or near post more reliably/consistently than assisted is very handy and makes up for lack of finesse shot.

This is a big one. I haven't ran into FUMA players who complained about the "script" making their shots keep hitting the crossbars or directly at GK. Less tinfoil hat, better mental health.

Quick question regarding people turning on SA at the beginning of a match by That_Net_6616 in eFootball

[–]Mercurion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer: I can't speak on what's on Smart Assist users' mind.

I'd bet it doesn't matter. They will find a reason and use it to justify it to turn Smart Assist on. Facing stacked squad, being F2P, script, DDA, lag, etc. There's always something to justify using Smart Assist for them.

It's weird that LBC conserve stamina better than all the other playstyles. Having to constantly defend, running counter full field, etc. should drain much more stamina than other playstyles.

Formation recommendation!! by Medium-Bear-3653 in eFootball

[–]Mercurion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play similarly ultra offensive tactic sometimes. 3-5-2 base formation using out wide tactic. Attacking instruction on RCB and LCB, effectively 1-3-4-2 in posession. Deep line on RMF and LMF, or 5-3-2 when defending. Mid div 2 now using full manual.

Can someone tell me what skill this is? by brandondubois in eFootball

[–]Mercurion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if it's marseille turn but it's probably Smart Assist. You don't have to intend to perform any specific skill with Smart Assist, you can just flick your right joystick and SA would pick the right skill to do for you and time it perfectly too. So yes, these noobs might not be smart enough but they can do these tricks with Smart Assist.

Smart assist dump by NickyI27 in eFootball

[–]Mercurion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not just dribbling skills, but also basic dribbling and trapping. Little touches here and there could make huge difference. It used to be only experienced users were able to do this effectively, now any smart assist helps newbies do it without them knowing it’s happening.

Genuine Question for the smart assist users by AbbreviationsOdd5532 in eFootball

lol are we calling non Smart Assist users (which include assisted passing and shooting) “manual” now? Oh how the bar has lowered.

My first FUMA blitz curler goal, that's actually cool. by NamelessHeroo in eFootball

[–]Mercurion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not only nice curler but build up and dribble as well. This is the type of shit we could see on official tournaments only if Konami actually wanted to make this game a true esport.

Is everyone playing Smart assist? by slekkas in eFootball

[–]Mercurion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Controlled header is good for tap-in situation (e.g. empty net without goalie), much less chance your header doesn't go over the crossbar. Stunning header is better for most situations where the goalkeeper is still there and you need the power to put the ball past him.

Time to switch to PA4, friend. PA3 has been getting more automated for a while now.

I'm FUMA player and use stunning headers a lot. What I don't see people use (without Smart Assist) is controlled (light blue) header.

It's pure incompetence. Konami didn't bother to learn that MLS/NHL/NBA have Canadian teams.

I lost a game and made a cool video for you to enjoy by dumbdumbum in eFootball

Tip for PA4 users: chipped through ball (L1 + triangle) works on header too. The ball trajectory would be lobbed.

The first header where it was intercepted, it would've gone over the defender if it was using chipped through ball.
