He was great at first, but he does have the tendency to miss decent chances frequently, especially considering his stats...

So many in this community are super reliant on him just auto defending. This game is in such a state...

Yeah I'm leaning that way as well, de Jong is still class though

If everyone played tiki taka, football would be boring asf. Variety is the spice of life

Well if he held onto the ball at the end of normal time...

Aged well hahaha

Never mind hahaha. What a game, kudos to Inter

Pleasantly surprised, beastly card

Indeed my man, game is on its last legs unless some sort of miracle was to occur!

Run down the line, spin around in circles a million times, pass 2/3 times across the box, spam low driven shot... repeat. This gameplay is so dry

Feel like finesse on a left side CAM position could be lethal

Same (FIFA 98) and some games are nuts for scripting

Abily is cool, but Bruno is godly

An absolute passing monster, god you name it... beast!

Literally just come off a rivals game against a co-op team. 2-0 comfortably in the lead and suddenly bit of spam defensive inputs and bam, it's 2-2 in no time. Worst of all though, through on goal, their Yashin completely takes out my ST, clear denial of a goal, and what happens, a free kick but not even a yellow hahaha. Still won in the end but wow... Anyone who thinks scripting is a myth is delusional

Packed in Rivals rewards, extremely rare W from EA

Amen, especially when you approach the point of needing last 2-3 wins. Just goes into overdrive.

Amen

Amen brother

Never been more convinced that DDA/scripting correlates with the in-game spend. The more you spend, the more likely you'll get positive DDA, and the opposite with little-to no spend (I don't fall for the FOMO, much better things in life to spend on).

Good point my man. I've never been convinced that the DDA/scripting correlates with your in-game spend. The more you spend, the more it goes in your favour. It's in EA's interest to ramp up the negative DDA when you're not buying packs, points

For sure, I'd say his incisive pass is up there with the best

Honestly anyone that thinks this is a genuine esport game is having a laugh, I feel you man

The DDA/scripting on this game right now is beyond a joke, comical doesn't do it justice hahaha

3 times in last 24hrs, on a x2 and generally on a roll before the script kicks in. EA know exactly what they're trying to do, but I ain't biting...

What chem style you going for? Tempted to go for Guardian, makes dribbling 98...

It's cool bro. I'm usually 8-10W in the WL myself (although haven't tried for a few weeks) and I've had people say that's shite (it's still positive!), this community can just be very fried at times my man, ignore the haters.

He's decent and I've paired him with Gabby too. Though he randomly glitches, and not in a good way. Gabriel with one PS+ seems the more reliable for me

He's got a point, game is ridiculous. So many people endlessly spin around in circles, and don't take a chance on a riskier through ball (which I get). It's the stupid AI both defensively and in attack that is killing this game (along with the rebounds and dodgy ref calls...)

Fairly accurate description tbf, a lot of wins don't feel fun at all because you get somewhat convinced you're playing a second opponent. Becomes ridiculous...

He's quality, especially on shadow striker...

You have no idea how to use him...

Agreed man, went back to her RB and even on Fullback (and no +), she's class

She's class at RB, even on Fullback with no +

I'm fairly confident this applies to those who give EA money constantly via micro transactions. Don't hate the player, hate the game I suppose...

Any solid win streak is always swiftly followed by glorious DDA... don't you just love EA!

DDA FC25

I'm Div 1 and I can say that as much as I love playing her at wingback, there's too many sweats and rats for it to be a viable play, at least from my experience

She's good but no fullback + even is a killer...

Tell me about it... who actually enjoys it anymore

Got both and would agree, Der Kaiser is a little gem

Play with both, nice little combo. Both have intercept + and complimentary passing styles

This guy... Hahaha

This guy.... hahaha

His finishing has definitely been a bit off lately, whether that's nurfing or DDA, who knows with the EA mafia these days...

Tbf it's been continuously shite bar the TOTY week...

Gameplay has never been more r3t4rd3d

There's game we get beat fair and square, but the scripting is pretty obvious when your opponents gets all rebounds back in more favourable positions. It literally pours out of the game at times...

Try 4222, a nice all round formation

Top, top player this fella... Bargain.

Preach brother

This is just the never ending cycle of garbage EA produces now sadly... I'm guessing you were on a decent ratio and then got scripted to death?

Hahahaha

Nailed it

Christ, it's not all about pace if you know how to position him...

This is very unusual...

Went anchor, nice physical boost does the trick for me. Beast

Amen brother. Amen

This has been my long held theory, glad it's not just me...

I've just literally logged off, it's that bad. If you're not getting sweated/pressed to death, then the script just kicks in for fun... what a game

This gameplay is clownish at best

Because they research the broken mechanics so relentlessly, then spend several hours a day honing that info. Fair play to them being good in the first place, but the game nowadays seems far more about knowing the broken mechs and OP tactics, then just playing "football".

He was like that in Div 1 for me in the previous season. Just lacks that something, probably it's the playstyles

I'm usually Div 1, or 2 at worst, 8-10 WL too (decent, not amazing I know) but anytime I threaten to beat my WL "average" on the ratio, the gameplay gets extremely spammy and sus... same goes with promotion games, even on x2 occasionally. Dead game

Script FC25, never been so blatantly obvious. Congrats to the hardcore geeks and pros who can get around it, but such a turn off in general

Did pretty well in Div 1 for me bud

Chem style? Finisher seems a good fit

Amen brother. It ramps up the spam when it's promotion game time, Christ almighty. GTA can't come soon enough...

4222 is a decent alternative. Got Kane 94 (poacher attack) and Thuram 92 (advanced forward support). With a good shadow striker in behind the Thuram then a playmaker roaming behind Kane, you'll get plenty of goals bro.

This dude is an absolute beast as an advanced forward alongside a Poacher 94 Kane (4-2-2-2)

Legend in his own right back in the day, and with Barca's result tonight, this feels like a nostalgic no-brainer to buy. Intrigued to see where that 99 stat lands...

He's class

Everyone bums Theo to the death... I packed DiMarco as well, he's class despite lack of defensive PS's

You're strange...

How is 10-5 ass? God this community cracks me up hahaha

Never been more broken... scam of a game

Got both Thurman and Kane up front (4222). Gakpo looks good on the PS, could be tempted to have him as a nice super sub

I'm well aware I'm no hardcore geek or pro, and never getting 13W on WL, it's not that deep hahaha. However certain games, heavy, laggy touches/inputs and 100% rebounds going straight back to your opponent, regardless of the situation are a bit of a give away... like I said, it's not deep, just be nice every now and then to not get scripted to death

Swear the gameplay has never been more scripted or spammed

This is one of the many flaws... christ this game has never been worse hahaha

Script FC25 does it again baby

CDM dlp

Andorra?

Try shadow striker, he's unreal there

Yes, boss on shadow striker

I certainly did, amazing at shadow striker... BEAST

I'll play both, maybe not the most secure defensively but sheer delight on the passing front

Credit Card FC25

Every frickin' time... EA for you bud

Trying to get this fella on a trial basis via the companion app, but keeps crashing. The billion dollar company that keeps on giving...

You sure brah? Stats seem to say Guti has the edge on passing...

Mwhahahaha

Amen, tried my first 3 earlier, the script/lag was unreal

Played 3 games, got scripted to death in each, but bravo to those who geeked it out

Amen brother, stay strong
