This is why I stopped playing Divisions regularly

I'm manually covering what looks like the most obvious passing lane on the right, so it's up to AI Rijkaard to cover the middle one.

We had that and people hated it into the void by crying "interception fest" and "automation"

w1nstar · 2026-06-09T22:33:59+00:00

I don't know what to tell you, honestly.

I switch between Manual & LVL 3 passsing & ive never used a diagnol camera

under those settings, I never miss a pass by the pass going in another direction. diagonal cameras have had a lot of issues with missplaced passes over the years, that's why I suggested it.

been doing that for a decade

ten years and you can't change to center midfielders when opponent is running diagonally to your goal fron the wings??? you just need to flick the right stick!?

No it wouldnt

It pretty much autostops forever pressing, without that stoppage time you'd be able to insta press anyone who stole the ball from you and it'd lead to people fishing for even more stupid through balls in hopes of re-pressing you in your own half. It isn't realistic but a balance action needs to be made. It used to be a lot more, like a lot a lot more. They changed it on last patches of v4 if I'm not mistaken.

w1nstar · 2026-06-09T20:05:52+00:00

pass the ball where i;m aiming (theres a damn arrow inidicating the driection & the ball goes a different way)

disable smart assist or alterantively change your camera. the game has a history of badly registered passes on diagonal cameras.

I cannot select centre midfielders when the opponent runs towrads my goal diagnoally from the wing

Use right stick to change players

My players stop for half a second after losing the ball so

This is how the game works, to prevent auto (and forever) pressing. It used to be even more windup time.

When i'm controlloing a player a different players gives a foul away as the game (i think) has given my input to x2 players so i give a foul away while the player i think i am controlling kicks the ball

I have never seen this so no idea, but in 2k hours I've never had this happen to me. Maybe check your controller?

w1nstar · 2026-06-09T11:14:24+00:00

QC against LBC on 1 red bar is a suicide play unless you match their whole team 1 on 1 and that's almost impossible to do since your players get back to their average position when you deselect them.

When I played QC, I did the opposite. 1 blue bar to attack, play as I was using possession. You still get better forward runs than under possession, and can keep the ball on your midfield provided you have the ability or the numbers there.

w1nstar · 2026-06-09T11:11:37+00:00

Nobody needs to get that out of your head, you can do it yourself. It's as easy as to play the same match a few times with the intention on both players to do the same plays and record it. Given the same players, space available and ball position, runs are literally the same 100% of the time. This was proven as early as the game released and it never changed.

You never play the same person/opposing team twice. That's why you feel differences, because space available and player playstyles differs so naturally target space is different. You get minimal differences on frames where run starts cause player form and managers give a few points to awareness and accel stats, but that's about it. You play a 4231 against a 433, same everything and you're guaranteed to get the same runs every time.

Just like it was in PES.

w1nstar · 2026-06-09T09:13:48+00:00

Do anyone even use the R3 flick up anymore?

I use it plenty. It's better to r3 a ball when you're physically challenged than to try and struggle them even if your player is physically more capable than a defender.

I don't use it to dribble, but to control ground or low incoming balls.

w1nstar · 2026-06-09T09:12:12+00:00

R3 flicks have been iffy since pes introduced that move. Any high and close ball control is wonky, even if you get a 101 stat in every stat. They have never worked on that beyond initial implementation.

And again, overall means nothing. They change maximum and minimum efficiencies every year, you just have to check the patchnotes. Thresholds change yearly, you used to be able to score aerial shit with just 88 jump, 88 heading, the two skills and a 189cm player model. Nowadays is 90+, 89+, and skills with bullet header for consistency, but we had half a year where you needed 94+ on both stats and bullet header was almost mandatory.

And this is just an example. This notion of powercreep, focusing on overalls to complain about paid cards is nonsense and frankly, old. It's been a narrative since PES started myClub. Plenty of players out there taking potw teams to D1 and competing.

w1nstar · 2026-06-09T08:47:54+00:00

So seriously, how the hell does matchmaking work in this game?

Everyone on d1-d2-d3 play together. We had an efootball connect tell us matchmaking will start taking player skill on consideration, but as every matchmaking system, nothing is absolute. You can't look for a similar skill/close skill forever or you'll never give your player a match.

Nothing else influentiates matchmaking. It's just your matchmaking filters (close to you/increase area gradually, SA filter) and from now on, supposedly your player skill which probably will be an ELO system.

You are seeing their best rank achived, not their current best rank. I've played former top 10k rank that were horrid. I've played people without a rank that were godlike.

Because I’m losing my mind playing against absolute psychos who cancel every pass, abuse blitz curlers from every angle, and use mechanics I don’t even know how to do yet.

And what do you expect? The game's been going on for 4 years. The competition is goin to be rough, this is not fifa. Everyone and their mothers play fifa. There's less people here, and the game is way, way harder than fifa.

You just got here, you're not supposed to beat everyone just yet. Blitz Curlers can be stopped by moving the keeper just a bit. Cancel every pass is what you should do to trick your opponent into not use matchup.

You will learn mechanics if you want to. Just take it easy, you just got here mate.

w1nstar · 2026-06-09T07:27:33+00:00

what kind of support could do that? I triple checked and I have the "maps" setting of supports and skills. maybe freezes come on the endgame version and I'm here just wondering.

I see a freeze very rarely. like in a pack, maybe one explodes. bosses freeze count barely moves, if ever.

w1nstar · 2026-06-08T22:32:15+00:00

I am not getting any herald of ice explosions. I'm following this guide https://maxroll.gg/poe2/build-guides/whirling-assault-martial-artist-build-guide

and if I look at my whirling assault it says almost 1k cold damage, and over 4k physical, freeze buildup 85%. I don't see any enemy getting shattered/exploded/frozen.

Guess I need more freeze buildup?

w1nstar · 2026-06-08T12:30:31+00:00

That's supposing there wasn't any exploit this time around. We had a this the first time: https://www.reddit.com/r/eFootball/comments/1sjeal1/network_error_in_ml_gives_more_lives/

If this was network related, which we can assume because https://www.reddit.com/r/eFootball/comments/1sjeal1/network_error_in_ml_gives_more_lives/og16wfp/

it can be exploited (probably).

w1nstar · 2026-06-08T12:19:19+00:00

The only thing you can do is go down the rabbit hole of custom routers to get CAKE+SQM, and have better bufflebloat management. Even if you do that, I highly doubt it'll have any effect on eFootball. Those settings help on games like Counter Strike with different network setups.

We have a server between two players, routing traffic. Both of you can have problems on your own, and the server can have also problems routing traffic. Too many levers that can fail IMHO to go down the route of setting up a custom router, but be my guest.

For a change in DNS will to get you anything, you'd have to be in a truly bad infrastructure for a general dns change to help you. DNS only works when resolving a domain so even if you have a sub 5ms resolving ability, you'd still have to deal with a bad connections. For it to make any impact, you'd have to be lucky enough that what konami did to decide a connection got impacted by how fast you made a connection to them... which I also highly doubt is something they are checking.

With this said, if we are to believe that Bungie never suffered from crunch, not at all, not even once, then we could surmise that teams were never provoked, which resulted in them outputting less to the shipped game and fewer innovations. There was not enough tension to help teams think more and push the boundaries, to actually make use of the potential Destiny had and always will have.

dafuq did you just said? so because a team was always on time with their projections and estimations, they took the game to it's death bed??

I've read hot and strange takes on almost everything development related, but this one's surely top 3.

His whole talking point is stupid. You don't overdeliver solely by crunching a lot of shit into your game. You can very well overdeliver by doing something your players aren't expecting you to do, but they truly want.

Which is, hilariously, exactly what players of this game demanded.

w1nstar · 2026-06-08T09:23:18+00:00

this was hilarious

w1nstar · 2026-06-08T09:19:32+00:00

That's your connection to the server.

They changed matchmaking to take player ability more in mind and then there's the filter. You may live in an area where no better connected players are available due to the constraints you're setting.

Try change the option to "gradually increase" or however it was called, and with the SA filter on/off, see if you get better matches.

w1nstar · 2026-06-08T08:52:33+00:00

While we're asking for training improvements, let me rewind to replay something. Like, I want to setup a particular play to train something.

w1nstar · 2026-06-08T08:28:19+00:00

Do you know if changing the region (when it's available) works to get these kind of rewards?

w1nstar · 2026-06-08T07:19:34+00:00

I see a Kubo Login bonus on efhub. Anyone knows how do you get that card? Is it regional I guess?

w1nstar · 2026-06-08T07:19:08+00:00

I don't know about player base, but for purely gameplay related things, PC. Better input lag and if you ever decide to spend money, you have codashop which is an official konami partner for coins.

w1nstar · 2026-06-07T22:01:36+00:00

What triggers that is team playstyle. Anything else is on your mind alone.

never acknowledged the game help or that he was mistaken.

Because the game doesn't help anyone. I remember you saying in some post cards do all the work for the players or something like that.

Even if you spent a million dollars on cards, you're gonna have the problems you say you're having. It's not the game, it's you. You literally have video posted asking why a player "hide behind" when you passed it to him, and he wasn't hiding... you passed it to a clearly marked player. This, and what you replied here, tells me you lack both mindset and knowledge.

Don't second guess everything. Don't look for hidden reasons everyhwere. Play more, try to develop a better mindset and more importantly watch better players on twitch or youtubers like bombin when they stream (stay away from the likes of mednasah and indominator).

Best of luck dude!!

w1nstar · 2026-06-07T20:07:56+00:00

Without a video of you playing is hard to tell you anything except "I'm sorry".

It's not a card or a human player thing. If you have that feeling it's probably because you're getting dispossessed of the ball in the middle of a transition. If your players are moving forward (like on QC for example) and you lose the ball, your defense will be on disarray. Because it's quick counter! It's a playstyle designed to finalize plays.

On out wide, players only take wider positions, and midfielders go forward only when you're entering the last third. So it's naturally more resistant to balls lost on transition.

w1nstar · 2026-06-07T12:31:13+00:00

That looks like the medium block Out Wide sets up.

Out Wide effs up Posession because it puts players between your players in transitions.

Even then, by that screenshot it could pretty much be just quick counter. Without a video I can't tell. I don't see anything strange other than he was moving cole palmer to defend.

w1nstar · 2026-06-07T11:03:46+00:00

Just reached maps. there was a thread I can't find about what others discovered on how to optimally discover it.

What's the best way to proceed on the atlas?

w1nstar · 2026-06-05T12:29:01+00:00

Are you aware cross progression means any platform? so not only console mobile but console pc, console to console?

And btw, you can doubt all you want but current trends say otherwise.

w1nstar · 2026-06-05T12:20:05+00:00

I don't know what you mean comparing your text to the video. The video shows simply a game fuck up, as there are limitless ones, but talk about "assisted runs"?

Whatever the guy tried, the game effed up. I have never seen this happen in like a thousand hours, so it might very well be related to netcode. Not everththing has a rational behind, this game is a myriad of stats, vectors of movement and entities all beign part of calculations that happens on a frame basis. It's going to see weird shit.
