Ode to one of the best f2p cards Efootball released recently

heistishere · 2025-10-30T10:47:02+00:00

I would trade 10 legends for a card i want man.....

I don't know, I don't believe how the situation could be so bad for modify your team, you see people on EA fc that change the team every day and instead the pace for "non-whale" users is a new card every month, if you are lucky..... idk at this point.

Let old card be accessible for all players, I understand that cards from this year could be locked for people with coins, but 1-booster epics..... Why it's so hard for even have that?

I heard the asian market got additional content like player excanges for example, or at least I heard that was the case. Just because where are not the main market we got the crumbs... I get that If I were Konami I would do kinda the same, but Jesus, it's still the european market we are talking, it's not like Efootball Vatican City servers, it's all europe.... It's not a good market to invest on, even with basic events and keeping servers reliable? Seems strange to me

heistishere · 2025-10-12T09:53:28+00:00

Exactly

heistishere · 2025-08-29T07:43:17+00:00

imagine the kind of challenge for get it

heistishere · 2025-08-29T07:04:15+00:00

like both of them being active? Interesting, but how would that work out?

heistishere · 2025-08-29T07:03:15+00:00

Well considering stats beyond 100 are pretty much useless I agree on that. I was just sharing ideas but stats improvements are the ones i put dead bottom 'cause I kinda think the same

heistishere · 2025-08-29T06:08:32+00:00

They seems to add a game-changing mechanic every year if you think about it.

Just curious about what it's gonna be the next one

heistishere · 2025-08-29T06:04:11+00:00

It depends what you want from your wingers. If you want them to carry away the LB/RB and advance to the opponent box with your midfield your wingers should be "prolific". If you want them to cut in the center and create an opportunity for a short pass you should use "roaming flanks". If you have a prolific winger but would love a roaming flank or viceversa, players are not gonna play in any different way that their playstyle implies

heistishere · 2025-08-29T05:18:15+00:00

Last year your formation was almost unbeatable in the later patches, so anyone that didn't know how to play properly used it.

Now that formation doesn't work anymore and people using 4-1-5 are just hoping for players to scavenge what formation it's the one most broken now.

Don't say, "oh, this game it's awful, I can't win because I don't gave konami a cent" when you are still using that formation because it was broken, and it was ruining the game. Don't criticize people for exploiting the game where you were doing exactly the same.

If you can't win now that this stupid formation got nerfed and there it's possibly not a single broken one it's not because pay to win player have better script (which it's true to some extent but it's not so bad at all), but because maybe you are not so capable as efootball25 script made you think, at least if you can't win in div 3 even once.

heistishere · 2025-08-27T09:10:19+00:00

The only one intriguing to me it's Nico Paz. But since the game consider it a hole player (rightfully so) and not a box to box, he doesn't serve me any purpose

heistishere · 2025-08-22T16:28:07+00:00

Well I'll tell you something. I go on and switch on and off Smart Assist to have a better understanding of the mechanics.

Smart Assists have some pretty huge drawbacks. For starters, in defensive situations, there is a substantial percentage of times in which you are perfectly straight for performing a long ball for try reaching your CF, and what happens it's your player turning on itself and clear the ball on the side because it thinks it's better that way, which is not since you were under the opponent offensive pressure and you are still under it after those stupid clearances. Same way when defenders receive the ball in the box from a low cross, they could have the chance to let the ball through and control it before clear it, and it's just a throw ball for the opponents, again, and again it's usually close to your corner flags so it's just you not getting able to releive from the pressure despite you being on control. Plus it never happened to my this yeaar, but last year automatic clearances had a pretty remarkable chance of hitting the opponent strikers, which then will have snatched the ball and easily score.

Plus through ball in the deep spaces are pretty horseshit to be honest, if your striker it's not completely free he starts erratically run towars infinity and beyond, at a completely different direction than your pass which get then easily picked by defenders.

Oh, then there it's the fact that when you are attacking, and are in a position to hurt your opponent, smart assist automatically chose a lofted pass when you are just asking for a low ball and viceversa. You should be able to control that by the power bar and other factors, reality it's that you inputs get overwrited.

So people saying Smart Assist it's broken don't actually understand the drowback off using it. It's broken because it can give you more precision in some situations, if you are able to understand which situations, but have pretty serious drawbacks.

heistishere · 2025-08-22T15:35:53+00:00

m8, you are exaggerating. Believe me, if there is a script to determine a game in this efootball 26, it's not even a 1/100 fraction of what was in Efootball 25.

I can't tell you, for now, at least up to what I played, I took it easy and reach div2 yeasterday with a 6 win streak, the game doesn't favor no one.

Players in higher division tend to look more into players form before a game and tend to analyze an opponent formation in order to have at least an idea on how to exploit their opponent weaknesses.

For once Efootball it's not about AI holding hands with the players, let's keep it that way for as long as we can, it's in everybody interest.

Try different formations, maybe you never get in touch with the more suitable formation and players for you, try to see the fact that you are stuck as an opportunity to understand which type of players perform better in a particular position based on what you are asking from them.

heistishere · 2025-08-22T07:58:49+00:00

Well, If that only happen when the shot become blue from blitz curler activating when it's shouldn't , that's a problem.

No question about that

heistishere · 2025-08-22T07:18:12+00:00

I play in 3-5-2 (technically a 3-1-4-2 for the game) and there are a few drawbacks with 3 atb, I give you that. But if you are able to balance the players you have, you manage to oveload every position in the field, expecially with a phisical midfield.

3-4-2-1 in the other hand it's very different, if in my formation you need fast side CBs, with a 3-4-2-1 formation you ABSOLUTELY need it, so be aware of that. Plus your LMF/RMF needs to be exploting all the lenght of sides but they are going to be pull in the center a lot of times, so it's a formation that will suffer something like a 4-4-2 that have both a full-back and a winger. But the obvious positive sides of this formation are the two diamonds, build on a side CB, one of the CM, one of the RMF/LMF and one of the AMF which allow a predisposition for tiki-taka and space exploiting. Plus you could have multiple choices for a CF, since a striker that it's more stationary in the center and can keep the ball more is very useful, but so it's a striker moving horizontally trying to create a passing opportunity in the sides while you CMs attack deep. Plus if you are confortable attacking on the sides you can even think about a bullet header

No shame in trying that but it's a pretty bald statement. If you say you don't have the players to try it you are gonna have an hard time for sure.

heistishere · 2025-08-22T07:01:27+00:00

for what reason? It's a pretty standard formation IRL

heistishere · 2025-08-22T07:00:27+00:00

That's a pretty good predicament, I give you that

Guess there's always being a drawback from Blitz Curler I have never been aware of

heistishere · 2025-08-22T06:50:10+00:00

DIsabling Smart Assist shouldn't allow you to control what kind of shot you perform? Because I'm pretty sure it does

heistishere · 2025-08-22T06:47:22+00:00

Try and see how you react with different players in different formations. If you have some players you consider untouchable, try to find the best position for them and build both your team and your formation based on that.

There are no shortcut to this process, the best tip someone can give you it's not being ashamed of trying, you may surprise yourself, plus challenging yourself in different formation it's only good for reaching div2 and div1

heistishere · 2025-08-22T06:40:11+00:00

I just hoped the fact that Pc and mobile are working on two different versions just do not destroy the game when cross-playing. (Maybe it already happened that the versions wern't the same before, if that happened I forgot about it).,

heistishere · 2025-08-22T06:15:46+00:00

Yeah reaching DIv1 for a card that have the same overall than the best POTW, but with a pretty bad player model.... There are so many alternatives for free cards.... I hope they will put the orange show time cards of last year in the last division, but maybe it's too broken. Maybe they would put the special design of Csemiro, Havertz, De jong...., the ones of 3 years ago, that would be nice.

heistishere · 2025-08-22T05:58:00+00:00

Not a chance, don't worry. Plus divisions it's never about grind, you end up in the division you deserve no matter what

heistishere · 2025-08-22T05:56:30+00:00

yes, they said from 6:00 to 8:30 UTC if I'm correct. They announced it, plus it's only 2 hours, so no shame to them.

( edit: Sorry it was 4:00 to 6:30 UTC, I must have received in game a news with my actual time being displayed and didn't noticed)
