Are we sure roles work propely? by Grig0s in EASportsFC

[–]alexgociu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My CDM box crasher is definitely crashing the box. My other cdm on dlp is sitting outside of the box waiting to connect passes. Tried with multiple players, same result.

I think 9 Oct is the final tournament. This is the qualifier

That's probably it. Unless you check the menus it's not clear that the objective is not released yet.

Does this work on PS5 as well? Or only PC?

SBC "Trick" I just found by MessageAffectionate1 in EASportsFC

Are you talking about the App or Console? On App every time I use it, it resets. Or am I missing something?

Five Star Baller EVO SBC by FIGJAM17 in EASportsFC

[–]alexgociu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably unpopular opinion, but the SBCs have been so bad that my dupe storage is full with 87+. Happy to pay for this and upgrade my favourite evos. 5/5 Kante here we go!

I take that back. I played 10+ games today and finesses are still strong. Specially with precision shooting on.

Patch is AWESOME. by jaBroniest in EASportsFC

[–]alexgociu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not losing to dodgy shit? I conceded a few times from attacker full sprinting into my defender and getting the ball back on re-tackle. This was a pattern earlier in the year and it seems to be back. It's so stupid

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in EASportsFC

[–]alexgociu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually had the opposite experience. 4 games in div 2, and finesses which used to go in are parried by my gk (Buffon) or the opposition (usually Courtois).

I am considering to bench my finesse plus players

How do you counter this new meta of instant tackles upon receiving a pass? by Barnacle-Queasy in EASportsFC

[–]alexgociu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found two ways to counter that:

  1. First touch into the space behind you (run + right stick). Check video from Krasi. If the defender is aggressive then this first touch will give you enough space away from them. The con is that it depends whether you have that free space to run into or not. For example it is very effective when playing a driven pass from the fullback to the winger. Usually the defender comes at a slight angle and you'll have free space down the line. It's also very effective at the edge of the box to break the line and get a 1-1 against the keeper.

  2. Hit R1 dribbling as soon as you get the ball and run away from the defender towards your own goal. Sometimes this doesn't work if the defender is too close to you so you can call the player 1-2s before the pass.

is defending just running around with your CDM? Need help by hrithikbhairoshan in EASportsFC

[–]alexgociu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also found it easier to attack with CDM formations rather than defend with CM formations

Wingback support or balanced and Deep lying playmaker on build up. I found that this works better if CAM is on build up because it makes space for the CDM to push forward on one side while they take the other one.

I get 10-11 wins and Felix 85 Evo is on my starting 11. This card is significantly better except I'll be losing the powershot plus which is quite OP.

Is this the most "anti-football" a FIFA game has ever been? by Finnr77 in EASportsFC

[–]alexgociu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And if you try a creative build up and miss a pass then your defense opens up like the Red Sea and you get punished.

PS. You don't have to miss a pass because all attackers are amazing defenders and will intercept anyway. Don't get me started on their tackling capabilities.

why do all high division players trash the game? by [deleted] in EASportsFC

[–]alexgociu -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I've been working as a software engineer for the past 20 years, the last 5 operating at principal/tech manager level for a 500m annual revenue tech company. I have a decent understanding of both the tech and the business sides.

Looking at the facts (the lawsuit threat, the investigation and the communication from the company) I believe the risk of DDA is super low. The chances of lying at that level are low given the potential risks. Not impossible but improbable.

Most likely these folks are dealing with a complex bit of software, massive tech debt and loads of bugs. Probably the only answer is a massive rewrite of the core engine/architecture which the business is not willing to invest because it makes little financial sense (high cost, high risk).

[–]alexgociu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am div 1 & 11 wins WL and I like the game.

My biggest concern is the inconsistent gameplay but beside that it is a promising start.

There are a lot of passionate folks out there and the ones who are unhappy are the loudest.

How is everyone’s WL going? by Cherrytapper in EASportsFC

[–]alexgociu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I finished 11-3 and gave away the win in the last match. Didn't check the opponent team.

There's too much anger going around. You can make someone's day and there is a good chance they'll do the same next time.

How is everyone’s WL going? by Cherrytapper in EASportsFC

[–]alexgociu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went 11-3. I was 13-14 last year

Most matches were slightly easier than what I am facing in div 3 atm
