There's mainly two reasons for this imo:

• From a gameplay perspective, this game needs either space or at least the feeling of space to work, when things get congested by people playing intelligently as a unit it falls apart worse than other football games. Naturally if it's 4v4 then you have more space so the problem of 5 players congesting their own box is less of an issue.

• From a matchmaking perspective, 4v4 means less players are required for each individual lobby, which means they can introduce more stringent matchmaking criteria (tighter SBMM, better server locations etc.) or have faster or more varied matchmaking, both of which will naturally make it a better experience. With the size of the playerbase I think this is very important for the long term viability of the mode.

Hadn't played it since the first day it came out and I think mechanically it feels a bit better now, but Jesus Christ the IQ of people in this is actually insane how bad it is.

And I know people on here have complained about things like people not passing, not defending etc. but I actually understand them because those are conscious decisions to not care about the result or to be selfish.

It's the things like standing 10 yards offside and calling for a through ball, or sprinting straight into the keepers hands when 1v1, or having a first time tap in to an empty goal but taking 2 touches before shooting and it getting saved because the keeper has had so much time to recover etc. that really annoys me because it's sheer stupidity.

I was trying to get some assists when I was playing because there's some objectives for it and scoring is easier so go for the assist where possible but I actually think now that relying on teammates who seem to be trying their hardest to ruin a goal scoring oppportunity is the video game version of hell.

Some form of SBMM/ranked can't come soon enough.

Every week it's the same tournaments and I win them once with the lower rated squads then don't touch them again because the team isn't unique it's just a minmaxed lower rated team and the rewards are inferior.

Why not give us something different each week like during the World Cup, why can't we have something that shakes things up, how about basics only cup, how about African only cup how about strikers only cup and so on. And you can give relevant rewards (30 basic player pack, African pack, strikers pack and so on) if you want.

This stuff isn't rocket science, set them up to last a week, input the requirements, make them marginally more rewarding than the unrestricted cup and then let it play out, it's such an easy thing to do in order to make the game a little bit more fun so I can't understand why it's not being done.

Mousset 2.0 ? is he overweight ? came off the bench and looked like he could hardly move. I don't exactly have a lot of optimism in this one working out.

Most players in the top 100 are using 41212, before the patch I was one of the outliers and liked a wide formation with wingers cutting inside and felt like I could utilise it well.

But now the patch has made it so you essentially have to run 41212 because that is simply the best formation for all situations now and if you aren't playing it you're at a disadvantage, so I've had to sacrifice a more unique style of play to go with raw efficiency, it's sad.

They need to revert the patch. It's an abomination in every way. And it wasn't the main patch that made the game like this, it was the hotfix.

Like it's literally "I'm uninstalling the game if it plays like this like this in the next patch" level bad. People complained about spinning in previous patches (not me btw) but there was a game there with working goals and trying to win the ball back, now they've buffed it and now spinning is the entire game. No build up or passing or pressing having any real impact, just spinning in circles way too fast.

I want fast responsive dribbling but it's way too fast currently. You can't play aggressive or press because terrible players can dribble like Messi and kill your press immediately and it completely destroys the balance of the game with passing because dribbling is too powerful relative to passing so you're forced to just dribble rather than being able to mix it up with through balls or ai runs or one twos or what not.

It badly needs to get reverted to what it was before the hotfix. And the fix is simple, just reduce turning speed/dribbling ability of players to what it was previously.

And the solution is not to buff AI defending or do some complex system to keep dribbling OP but nerf it in specific situations because then you're needlessly complicating things and creating new issues.

There's so many of them it's crazy.

Seen she put out something on X about not knowing when she's going to race next and saying it's been her toughest year.

Obviously she's terrible so it's hardly a surprise that nobody wants to piss money down the drain but reading between the lines it seems like she had plans for this season well in advance and then something outside her control happened to change that and left her in this situation (which I'm guessing is her getting dumped out of the FDA). Which seems a bit unprofessional from Ferrari if they deceived her like that.
