Interesting...What stadiums, kits, etc the real issue though?

Looks like they are patching the kick off glitch

Robbo · 23 Jan 2018 at 11:15

Wow, this is good.

Kickoff glitch fix

No home or away teams (most people playing WL want to be the home team which makes matchmaking annoying)

Neutral stadium (not a bad thing as some have dodgy shadows)

Why not extend the FUT Champs times too

Yes, it should be 40 games per week and make the DKT a separate daily thing that rewards a decent pack. That would be perfect. Just require a DKT win and/or Div 1/2 to qualify for WL like now.

GazD · 23 Jan 2018 at 11:30

IMO the WL should be open for everybody and the DKT should be split into Bronze/Silver/Gold/Elite/Top 100 depending on where you finished in the WL

It will be weird playing the opposition using your kit!

Yea too right, hope it fools the idiots that have similar home and away kits

Mind blown that's its taken them this long to sort that all out...

To be honest I didn't think they'd bother, hard to get a real picture but the player numbers (particularly in FUT champs) must have dropped considerably for them to do all this in one patch.

The kick off glitch could have been fixed long ago, and was one of the most infuriating aspects of the game, you could try tapping the offside trap preset to counter it, but nothing ever worked that well and you'd get games where you could score 5 goals, and the opponent would respond with a goal right after each, where it feels like you have zero control. Then you'd have a run of games where it wouldn't happen at all, very strange.

The kick off glitch is especially bad this year. You have to lunge in and try to stop play, a good player will try and exploit it (and you can't blame them).

I've seen games where people have scored 4 or 5 kick off goals one after the other, which is ridiculous.

Aside from the KO glitch the other changes are to stop pros avoiding one and other. No mention of server upgrades so gameplay will still be trash. FeWC stadium sucks to play in, too.

Quinnaay · 23 Jan 2018 at 13:55

Yeah I think this patch is the best in a long time and massively needed. Not seen anything regarding the kick of glitch and this is ultimately why I don't enjoy the game.. If this is going to get fixed assuming they don't break anything else then longer weekends and it's all gravy.

I'm the first to moan about gameplay but over the last 2 weeks its been fine and dandy for me.

Been very patchy for me lately, some games have had loads of delay. Weird.

Buy a Netduma router and test it, worst case send it back and get a refund.

I don't think it's that, it's just the servers or whatever. There's no traditional lag as such, the gameplay speed just becomes very sluggish now and again.

When do you play? I play at the most busiest times I would suspect 7 - 9 or 11 onward and don't get lag.

It varies. Sunday evening was quite laggy.
