I'm still trying to get 2000 rivals points plus the qualifying games done. Might have to give it a miss this week.

Got the points, not sure I can be bothered qualifying. :cry:

First 2 games of the WL, both 2-0 up and lose, yey

They are making the game worse with every patch - as usual.

I think it's just me getting worse

Hmm, underwhelming promo cards (Bundes ones at least)

Ayahuasca · 12 Nov 2021 at 18:10

Yep dead promo, final upgrades are indeed next year in April lmao.

I think it was announced or mentioned somewhere that if you didn't finish your score would be reset.
I know some people were saying if you lose your 5th game but still have games left to play just don't play the last game and it will reset and you'll get your 9 games back again.
I guess it worked the same for you but in reverse.

Logged it with ea as it should have let me finish the last 3 on Thursday. They've come back saying a number of people are in the same boat and there working to rectify it, but no estimate.

Bet nothing happens

Had the radar go if as well, didn't realize how much a need it. Lol was shocking when the guy activate full press and I couldn't see unmarked players.

Just packed Teg Stegen from Adidas numbers up. MQ matches. Are these cards only boosted because of Adidas?

when people activate full press on me I never have anyone free apart from gk!!!!

I have created 2 videos to try and illustrate how bad it is and hard to play when gameplay is slow/unresponsive compared to normal.

the ability to turn left/right and avoid players, can do skill moves better, can close opposition down and track there movement.

It’s night and day difference

I need help on this.

In Fifa 21 I was okay, Div3/4 and gold 2/3 on champs.

This year I'm Div 6 and can't qualify.

I find 2nd man press OP
Constant pressure painful
2 CDMs seems to be the meta.
The passing game appears to have died again

I play 41212 narrow and enjoy a possession based game but I can't break defences down at all. 5atb was annoying in 21 but this 4222 is a total joke

It's a problem for sure. This game needs another patch ASAP

Ayahuasca · 13 Nov 2021 at 15:33

The gameplay is absolutely cheeks today but I’m clutching wins.

EA know what they're doing. Normal passing and player switching are both completely broken but that results in more turnovers of possession, more counter attacks and more goals. It suits the drop back, counter attacking rats perfectly so any future patches will only nerf aspects of the game that hurt these type of players (long range finesse shots) and buff aspects of the game that help them (lobbed passes).

Yeah, I was getting annoyed with the amount of times it passes to the wrong player. Plus don't get me started on player switching, the amount of goals it's cost me is ridiculous.

CR7 is still awesome this year, went against all the naysayers and he’s got the best GPG ratio of anyone I’ve used so far, including Ginola at striker.

i have been playing on and off friendlies / div rivals all day - gameplay has been changeable but playable. Was enjoying it - could turn quickly, turn players in and out, LS dribble, skill moves etc.

so I thought I play a couple of games of Champ finals and it was completely crap. So sluggish and slow…. I couldn’t out turn any player, taking an age to control and turn, Passes slow, opposition totally smothering so you can’t do anything Etc etc. won one, lost one….. totally unenjoyable!!!!!

I really dont understand why it does this….

checking my connection quality on ea and it’s great

Best WL finish so far, 3 points off rank 1. Goretzka in reds :cool:

chroniclard · 13 Nov 2021 at 22:21

Seem to be conceding a few too many long range looping/curling shots into the corner. Frustrating when in control, guy couldn't get near but Mane scored 2 of those from miles out.
