Got tired of losing to SA so I turned it on to see wtf is happening
Its made me even more pissed and ive realised why how and where ive conceded goals.
Also made me realise the ONLY was to counter it is by playing posession having almost a full team with good passing, one touch passing and a formation that spread the pitch otherwise you are cooked because even then you will still get pressured
I done this with a full squad of POTW and Selection players. No epics and no showtime.
It done a few things:
All in had to do was hold the pressure button and my whole team were essentially playing quick counter regardless of the playing style - i can see long ball being abused because you pressure tf out of people then kick it long for a perfect pass.
It changed passes for me. Several times I would opt for a through ball and it would change it to a lofted through ball instead.
Physicality boost, several time I as runn with a player and holding off more than one person to a goal
Ridiculous shooting boost. Anywhere around the box it would be accurate and pressure the keeper. It got to a point where I just started launching anything to see what happens. Last game finished 7-0 vs a full epic squad
My player where always near their players even before I started the pressure - its lik they were man marking everyone.
It made me realise how to spot someone using SA. When player dart at full pace towards you at EVERY touch. High chance their using SA because I literally didn't have to tackle jusy hold A and wait and if they manage to get the pass off keep holding A switch player aand manage press B to trap them.
This is on of the most broken things I have seen in a game it is LEGIT a cheat.
If you beat someone using SA or its a close game you are leaps and bounds better.
I went from losing 6-1 to a Div1 SA user (im in division 2) to win 4-1 my next game then 7-0 once I realised what it can do.
Apologies to the 2 guys I beat unless they are using SA as well.
Deffo turning it off but now I dont know where I stand as far as playing against people using SA without turning it on.
