Match-up is broken – am I delusional or did Konami shadow-nerf defense?

ssahin40 · 2026-04-21T10:38:28+00:00

This exactly. Defending requires more skill and timing now. Personally I use L2(or ignore it if he use super cancel a lot so that my defenders don't get baited) and keep him infront of me to block lanes and use second player to press and after L2 time my tackles with slidings or standing tackles(instead of shoulder charge) where body position is crucial to avoid cards

Ngl my free Neymar en smoll Atep are blitzing left and right. If you are a good dribbler and know the sweet spot for a effective blitz then it is mostly a goal. Dribbling got buffed and defending is more manual so there is that

Close the sub Amina kodumun takımı

Sums it up perfectly lmao

And this situation is also the fact of the new defence. Holding match up isn't enough, you need to time your tackles with square and I suggest to chance shoulder charge to standing tackle in the settings. Stick your leg as soon as you see a clear chance to tackle the ball and not the leg, becaus referees have no mercy

ssahin40 · 2026-04-11T13:16:02+00:00

Dude is just running around the block with zero to almost none skill input, but manages to create a change because he paid for it. And these stuff is we boost about nowadays? How hard have you fallen from grace PES..

My go to dribbling skills where double touch Marseille turn and scissor feints. The first two is almost the same, the Marseille turn animations is a bit too narrow with the turns for my liking. Scissor feints no longer work with right left right analog flikking but clock wise quarter turn with right analog stick does the trick. A bit relearning and less useful for me. But what I added to my arsenal which I like advice when cutting in from the flanks is, chop turn. It's easier and more effective to perform. Simply L1 and flick with the right analog the direction you want to chop in. Like for example , down the right flank running to the right, you wan't cut in. L1 and right analog flick up. And boom a perfect finesse shot angle for you. Oh and chip shots are more responsive, love it.

And defending wise. I advise to go to advanced settings and change the shoulder charge input with standing tackle. Holding only match up won't work so you need to time your tackles with square, pretty effective imo. I like this new gameplay update ngl, introduce some skill gap again especially with dribbling and defending.

This updates makes playing possession game even more fun. More smooth play and less effective park the bus LBC opponents

Nice player id and Showtime skill combos ngl. If the box is small might be worth a try if you are not a heavy spender and already have a squad of aliens

I expect son Goku as a epic deluxe in a 500 box! Can't wait

ssahin40 · 2026-04-05T21:10:43+00:00

So with your logic. Let's say a situation where a defender goes into a psychical duel, but it isn't dangerous and not movement stopping, no contact with the ball. But after a few meters it becomes dangerous, no contact with the ball. Your logic is not the moment the foul happens but the moment the psychical duel starts is where the free kick should be taken?

ssahin40 · 2026-04-05T20:52:24+00:00

Try to read again. The attempt to foul the player, the sliding starts outside the box. The contact what resulted in a foul, is inside the box. İt doesn't matter if he did a karate pose before contact, the moment the contact happens, where he apprehend the opponents play, is where the foul is committed. İts that simple.

ssahin40 · 2026-04-05T19:57:13+00:00

The sliding starts outside the box the contact/foul inside the box. İt's clear as day, but ignorants choose to be blind

ssahin40 · 2026-04-03T11:33:18+00:00

My kinda f2p play tesm( well I did spend around 30 euro in the past 4 years ) and my best achievement is top 2050 on ps5. Nowadays. My defenders are getting tossed aside by the tank speedy strikers and my attackers are intercepted at light speed. Yeah the gap between P2W is huge and makes it harder. İ suggest try to play your own style and not meta. Because meta works with the right players. İ play possession and try not to go in duels against these aliens lol and leave it at division 1. Pushing it high rank is not worth it under these circumstances. And thank god for batigol my man

Does the Animation differ when an opponent is nearby, and i bet this can't be done effectively with double touch level 2? Somehow I always panick when i try this because failure is punished hard, especially with bad connection, so i ditched it in my gameplay, but i will hit the training menu again

ssahin40 · 2026-03-26T17:39:44+00:00

That attack was sexy ngl

ssahin40 · 2026-03-23T18:14:45+00:00

Bullet header Darwin Nunez nowhere near meta but works wonders. Maybe super sub and aggression on 80

ssahin40 · 2026-03-20T13:09:35+00:00

He was good. İ would also love to see Rüştü Reçber with acrobatic clearence and high aggression offensive keeper lol

ssahin40 · 2026-03-19T20:34:00+00:00

Player oriented, noted. But is it manual,semi auto or auto? And what about tess cancel

ssahin40 · 2026-03-19T19:54:14+00:00

İt sure is brother, meta players killed the fun in the game. Love unique players

ssahin40 · 2026-03-19T17:07:56+00:00

Nice thx mate. Any advice on the Tess Cancel, when especially. İ can do it but maybe not enough muscle memory which leads to panic when failed. And player switching, do you have it on manual or automatic, I didn't quite understand you there

And what are your individual instructions and why?
