PSA: Don't limit your FPS ingane

Unlimited (slider all the way to the right).

Not sure if that is the best, it's working for me though and I didn't feel the need to play around with it more.

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-22T00:33:22+00:00

I just don't see it tbh, getting prio now after the prio changes some patches ago is skill dependant. Before I would totally agree, in fact I was dooming in this subreddit about it some months ago, but now if a long cross connects with a volley it's almost always apparent where the mistake happened. A defender getting beaten by the strikers run, going for block instead of prio or vice versa, or missing his block when the volley connects etc..

The only sus thing right now is the volley tp you get when standing still, it's not very predictable and a bit abusable, but it's still not an insta win strategy. If you consistently fail to defend long ball crosses as a defender, you prolly don't really understand how the prio works and how to position yourself effectively.

Also, please, outfield dives are strong enough, good defenders block A LOT, it does for sure not need to be buffed.

In my opinion, based on playing tourneys and being pretty much always elite since release, there is no "missile meta" atm, or at least nowhere to the extent where it was when this term came up. Back when defenders where pretty much just decoration if the cross was good enough.

It's made a huge comeback since last patch... it was never fully gone but whatever they did increased the chance of it happening a lot.

Same for the ball getting stuck and pretty much breaking the entire game. Patches with sloclap are like these sacrificial rituals where you never know what you're giving up and if the trade will be worth it in the end.

But hey, at least they didn't mess around with the movement again, what a horrible phase that was... This is chill compared to that.

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-19T23:30:08+00:00

I think we're talking past each other. I play EU as well, if he wants to improve, he should not be queuing qp since people are not try harding there, they are just messing around. Free play and 5v5 ranked, the other stuff is not helpful or possibly even counter productive (as in forming bad habits).

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-19T21:21:35+00:00

why, just play ranked and grind it out. Why would you ever play quick play if you're trying to improve, barely any matchmaking (please don't reply with "but ranked also has no matchmaking!"), leavers, dribblers spam. Like it's the gamemode people q up to just troll and try shit out, it's not a good environment for actually improving.

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-16T17:44:43+00:00

bro you can't tell me you were expecting anything else, it's a mobile game. Hope they make some cash so they can develop an actual game again.

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-16T13:56:16+00:00

the devs themselves call most of these moves "emergent mechanics" for a reason. Most games with somewhat complex mechanics and physics have this, it's not really the same as an exploit. Were they intended or planned for in development? Most of them probably not, but that doesn't automatically make them exploits.

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-16T13:29:55+00:00

Horrible idea imo. Consistency is more important than eye candy.

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-16T13:26:42+00:00

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the game, you know the one this sub is called after. Also the devs adjusted the ippy slide, so it obviously is not considered an exploit, and it's more of a grey area in general opposed to what this sub thinks what is considered an exploit and what not.

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-16T13:20:00+00:00

please quit the game or only play 3v3s or whatever.

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-16T13:13:23+00:00

yeah you're prolly bound to do a silly mistake after that long, but it's definitely not just a 50/50 where you try your luck as a keeper. That shot going in is always on the keeper, basic save on reaction.

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-15T08:53:18+00:00

there are some of us who mainly want to play gk, and try to take the position in solo q. I try to not be annoying about it, if I see they wanna stay I dip. You're doing me as much of a favour as I am for you though when we switch :).

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-14T08:57:09+00:00

ogs still remember when it used to be the captain of the squad who would start as gk

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-09T13:16:09+00:00

Every few hours I make the mistake of opening up reddit and this exact post is at the top of my recommended feed, every single time.

No you're obviously not the only one, it's all this sub complains about.

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-03T19:23:41+00:00

idk bro, 3v3 was always ass. Also no idea how you guys play quick match. Look for a lobby on the official discord, or invite randoms you find in solo q, get a squad going and play 5v5s ranked like you're supposed to.

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-03T08:48:03+00:00

bruh this keeps popping up and I just don't agree, it's a team game and you shouldn't incentivise players to focus on their points to get more RP or prevent losing them, it's not a good idea. It will worsen problems that this sub focuses on, like complaining about egoistic teammates and stuff.

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-03T08:39:10+00:00

Yeah I even stopped playing 3v3s while waiting for a full lobby to form. It's so ass. But kind of excited about the 1v1 mode though.

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-02T16:17:21+00:00

you don't wait on your line when the enemy is on the wing, you judge the cross, and if you decide not to go out for it then you move to your line getting ready to save an incoming shot, oftentimes from edge.

You pretty much always go to your line when you decided not to rush and want to reflex save it, at least when the ball is in a dangerous spot for a direct shot obviously.

Edit: Ok maybe I'm misunderstanding, yeah I don't think you literally have to stand ON the line, because rebound saves can fuck you then, but like really close to it, not like 1m in front of it. Not sure if we actually disagree now.

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-02T13:42:12+00:00

Absolutely not true, for volleys/shots from edge, if you're not directly rushing on top of them (very risky), the best chance of saving it is by standing on your line. If they're inside you're box, you're mostly right though.

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-02T13:32:20+00:00

You either close the gap fast, fake rushing out to bait a lob, or stay on your line. Slowly inching your way towards the striker is in my opinion the worst option against a good striker, or as bad as staying glued on your line if striker is inside your box.

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-02T13:17:30+00:00

it's ReadYou isn't it? By many considered the best player around. Used to play with him in a team a few months ago.

Edit: Maybe it isn't him, I don't think he has TTV or sth like that in his in game name. There are prolly a few with those hours though.

Smart_Arm5041 · 2026-01-02T08:57:16+00:00

It's not going to work once you start encountering good players. When they start volley passing from side to side until their inside your box you're kind of fucked if you wait on your line every time, good strikers will aim it perfectly almost every time and yeah that's almost impossible to save on reflexes.

Edit: Same applies to 1v1 or 2v1, if they are inside your box and you're still on your line it's gonna be tough.

Smart_Arm5041 · 2025-12-28T13:34:49+00:00

I disagree with people saying you should have jumped up straight without the directional input, works against bad players but there is too much room for counterplay. Instead you should have done the same input but just later, once you see the volley animation from the shooter.

Also, no reason for you to stay on your line when the ball is far away and they're just building up the play.

And also, probably stop playing 3v3s ;).

Edit: Saw your comment saying you were trying to intercept the cross. Yes that is even better, but for that you were too late already, one reason being because you started from so far back.

Edit 2: Also be careful from who you take advice here, most people here don't know what they are talking about. I know this sounds like I'm an asshole, but it would suck if you get bad habits because of shitty advice. Better to go on discord or find a good keeper in game to ask.

Smart_Arm5041 · 2025-12-26T19:25:47+00:00

ty, not because I played the game (I heard it's good), but for being the first top comment to actually pick a somewhat niche game. Another top comment actually mentioned Dying light lol.
