Why on EARTH do strikers just hide behind centre backs???

It is NOT my tactics, because they sometimes do it and they sometimes don’t.

Just played champs, 4-1 up at half time, everything going swimmingly. Second half BOTH my strikers just stand hiding behind his centre backs ALL half, I don’t think I had a single shot in the second half and lost 5-4.

A game I was DOMINATING and because the AI of my attackers completely switched in the second half I end up losing. Why is it not consistent?

Are chipped shots ever going to be fixed?

I’m a 12-14 win player, and I only ever concede the same 2 goals.

Either the centre backs randomly decide to part like the Red Sea for no reason, or someone R1 dribbles through my entire team in the box and I’m unable to take the ball from them as any defender I’m not controlling gracefully moves out of the way for them.

How the hell do you prevent these 2 things from happening? I never concede a goal from any other situation.

Question about Futties

This is my first FIFA in years and I started 2 months ago so I’m a bit confused with futties.

What is the point of all these previous promo cards being back in packs? They’re too old to be usable now and they don’t sell for anything since it causes the market to crash.

Will there eventually be an SBC that requires them? Is it purely so that we can see the cards again? If there’s no reason for it then I can’t understand why polluting the player pool with unusable cards is seen as a good thing.

The gameplay in this game actually stinks

Attacking is literally just people spinning in a circle on the edge of the box or wiggling their right stick to bait a defender into a dodgy animation that lets them get a clear sight on goal.

Defending is literally just avoiding the ball at all costs and letting the game do it for you.

None of it takes any skill, so what’s the point?

And before a 12 year old says ‘skill issue’ this is my first FIFA since FIFA 21, I’ve had it a month and I’m div 1 averaging 11 wins in Champs. Not that that makes me good at the game, as there’s no skill involved in the gameplay.

Genuine question about goalkeepers

I’ve tried TOTS Courtois, GOTG Kahn and 95 Casillas and I’ve heard that the first 2 are supposed to be some of the best in the game, but they don’t save anything!

They dive low on any finesse shot, I can’t remember the last time any opponent took a finesse shot and it didn’t go in, regardless of how far out it was.

On low shots they just flop on the ground and don’t even try to get the ball.

If they have to come out of the goal they make no attempt to save the ball, they just run, it doesn’t even play an animation.

Meanwhile I need to shoot perfectly to prevent any of my opponents keepers from making worldie after worldie. I don’t get how it’s fair that something as RNG as whether the keeper fancies it or not can decide games.

In my last game this guy just randomly shot from 30 yards, wasn’t finesse, wasn’t a power shot, wasn’t game changer, a random 3 bar shot from 30 yards and Kahn just fell on the ground as it went in down the middle of the goal at head height.

I’m wondering if there’s something I’m missing. I struggle to believe that such high rated keepers are consistently useless.

And it’s not skill issue, I’ve had the game 3 weeks and I’m Div 1, but there’s seemingly nothing I can do about the goalkeepers.

(yes I am salty I just lost 5-1 to a guy that was nowhere near my level)

Push it to the limit

Do people not realise that this is a team based event? It’s the last challenge I need for the festival and every single player just rams me and each other and we’re getting smoked.

How on earth have you guys managed to complete this?

How to improve the team with 500k?

Only Messi, Gakpo, Xavi and Courtois are untradable, so can get extra money if needed from selling someone.

Preferably a new keeper because this lanky piece of wood lets the ball go straight through him.

Open to a formation change but I have had some fun with this one.

Why is Bruiser allowed to just foul you?

Haven’t played FIFA in a couple years and I’m getting used to all this chem style shite.

But I don’t understand why there’s a chem style that lets you just get away with fouls lol. Most of the time they do tend to just teleport in between your player and the ball which is annoying on its own.

But sometimes my wingers are being full on thrown to the ground, or shoulder barged clean in the back.

Also side note what the hell is up with keepers. I’m using TOTS Courtois and I’d been told he’s meant to be good the lanky plank just dives out of the way of the ball.

Another side note why is it easier to not control your own defenders. What the hell is that all about.

I swear every time I come back to Fifa every 2/3 years it gets even worse each time.

Why won’t my low driven shots go in?

Trying to do these objectives are doing my head in. Every single one of my low driven suits goes wide or gets saved, no matter how good of an opportunity it is.

I’m playing this North American mode and I’m losing every game 1-0 despite having 7+ shots to the opponents 1. The damn call won’t go in shooting this way and I can’t figure out why.

I’ve played 7 games in this mode now and lost them all 1-0. If I were doing any other shot than low driven I’d be 3-0 up before halftime. I don’t understand this at all.

I don’t understand defending at all

I’ve not played since FIFA 22 and feel like something massive must’ve happened to defending since I last played.

My players are always running away from the ball, it honestly looks like they’re locking onto the space next to the attacker and I’m just constantly getting glided past.

Alternatively, when I’m attacking if I run into the same time zone as a defender they poke the ball away with ease.

I’m still winning the majority of my games, but most games are finishing like 8-5. Am I missing something or is this just how the game is now?

Protection review

Hi everyone, FTB here continuously confused by the whole process so far.

We’ve had an offer accepted and our mortgage broker wants to schedule a protection review phone call, but I have no idea what this is. What does it entail and do we need to agree to something they suggest? We’re in England if that matters.

Thanks in advance for any help!
