Sonny is a good player imo as he understands the games mechanics, which is half the battle.
Can confirm mbappe is ridiculous at near post corners, scored 4 against me.
i can't score near post corners anywhere near as often since the patch but i have seen others use them with ease. they seem to control the player rather than where they want the ball to go. i always use the ball method and it usually takes me 1-2 corners sometimes 3 to get my placement right. every keeper reacts to them differently i find too. some will come out further than others who will stay on their line. some will punch others will catch too. i've seen people controlling the keeper and bringing him out further and nearer to front than back. i score maybe one in 4 corners. but i don't have a lot of tall players in offensive positions. tevez, dybala, simeone, gomez, anderson, lucas. the only one is Ibra. so i aim towards my CB's if they are in a decent position i find my RB is usually in the box for some reason even though he ain't that good in the air. again when defending corners why is my CB at the half way line? this has been in the game for 10 years. i can only say it must be on purpose because it's lasted different engines and consoles. which proves there is something mysterious in play.
fifa is all about abusing game mechanics to be successful at it. it's not about playing football or playing how you want to play. it's about finding the most efficient mechanic to abuse. like timed shooting. first time finesse. back post headers. a certain skill move. high pressure tactics. whatever is overpowered you have to adapt and use that. it's the same in other games too at the highest levels (like destiny). your loadout changes to suit the most overpowered tactic.
playing with high level players should also be viewed as learning experience. i've been taught by players in the top 100 in destiny. it improved my game play immensely. i don't have the time for gaming as much any more. it's why i play a few hours per week and why i tend to be on csgo now. it's jump in have a game then leave. if you die you will be respawned in 2 mins rather than 45 mins in pubg. i'm only playing fifa now and again because i'd taken a break from it for like 3 years completely playing destiny until destiny 2 came out which was crap but the previous 3 years prior to that i had been playing less and less fifa to the point i was playing 20 games a year.
if you don't have at least 3 different custom tactics set up on each team in fifa then you are putting yourself at a huge disadvantage. i use 4231, 41212 narrow and 4411, i need to set up 4222 which was my favourite formation 6-8 years ago. back when i played you. but cam's don't have the pace these days to use it properly. also back then you could build a team capable of beating any other team in the game for 25K these days it's just not possible. adjusting to your opponent is a must. you have to learn within the first 2 minutes how they are going to play and then prevent them from playing that way. also when you have the ball what are they doing? back in the day i didn't need to do any of this. i would dictate the game and keep them pinned in. cross after cross, long shots, mazy runs on the left wing and cut inside for a shot. fifa is just no longer enjoyable as it was back then it's a chore. hard work.
