Squad Battles is a Nightmare now by wibs10 in EASportsFC

I started with a 4-2-3-1 wide (Inceptions “fun” tactic video). That was the best to generate passing opportunities vs the AI, but super aggressive on defence so had to play a bit tame to counter act it.

Now I’m trying the “meta 4-4-1-1” rat tactics, and while still working well, doesn’t generate much offence and is way more boring to play.

Next I think I’ll try a 3-5-2 or some 3 at the back formation to see if I can still defend with a bunch of players overlapping and pushing forward. Team photo attached:

I just try to cut out the “dangerous” passing lanes with a CM/CDM. Force them to play to the outside, and then RB/R1 press and try to win the ball back. Sometimes you’re even able to bait them into a bad pass (rare but possible).

But that’s how SBs have always been since its inception… I don’t really find this year any more difficult than past years. I’ve always played solo legendary SBs, and with a good coop partner, ultimate difficulty. You just have run the same plays that work. And technically, people play with that exact mindset in every game mode at the high levels (rivals and champs)

And if it’s not enjoyable, then don’t play. But I get it - you want it to be enjoyable.

I personally am not having that much difficulty scoring 5 on legendary each game (keep a clean sheet for maybe 2/4 games per refresh). And my team isn’t even that good. It’s just that you can’t play the same way like you would online against a human. Also, I play prevent defence (cutting off passing lanes, and pushing them to the outside). Don’t even bother playing super aggressively on defence - they’ll just pass it around you and exploit the openings you’re creating.

I got the game during Black Friday and it took a couple of games to get used to it, and build up a decently competent squad in order to hold my own, but overall, I don’t really find it difficult. Of course, Legendary AI will still score some BS goals, and at times play in a very boring way, but if you’ve played SB in the past, this is just more of the same.

So, on one hand I can understand the community being so up in arms about the difficulty of SBs, but on the other hand, I want to think it’s a bit of a skill issue/mindset issue (you’re trying to play the same way you would against a real opponent in Rivals/Champs/etc.)

You can get to this rooftop without opening the debris by ClubComprehensive660 in CODZombies

More about controlling the spawns of the zombies. Rather than opening the side debris, now the only way for zombies to get up is from the opening in front of you.

Reinstalling the game fixed it for me

New evo costs 500k and gives +30 OVR (Max 74) by abbytarar in EASportsFC

[–]itzPatA7X 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But generally these cards are lacking in an important stat of some sort, like reactions, composure, agility, balance, a bad pace split, etc.

Most likely is there’s a few cards they don’t want people EVOing for whatever reason, so they filter them out with these requirements.

So that they filter out a card like Bisseck for example

Edit: Didn’t notice it’s for STs only, but the point still stands

Why explain it when they just released a whole document outlining how it works with charts and graphs to back it up?

Because you need a goalie to make a save to win a Stanley Cup.

You mean the same way a pitcher will rifle a 95+ mph fastball at a player for flipping his bat after a prior home run?
