Lesson of the day, don’t be too big of a you know what…
🤣🤣🤣. Didn’t cost me the match fortunately. Scored a late late winner in the 97th. This little bug remains.

Puskas doing Puskas things. Result and his card in the comments. Competing is difficult. I guess it’s doable on a long enough timeline. I will likely not even get Barcola for those wondering. So don’t ask my rank. 🤣 His WC POTD is better anyway. 🫠
…. Maybe you guys have noticed this, maybe you haven’t. I noticed it today and reacted to it. My findings to follow..:
MOMENTUM, as I’m defining it, is when the game tilts on-field happenings one direction. It doesn’t mean one team is going to always benefit from it. The system can be overcome, or beaten, when it tilts against you.
What I found in both PvP and AI matches was that during certain time periods within a match, that pass targeting goes to absolute SHIT and I mean SHIT. Far shittier than normal. This is when simple passes for obvious recipients are targeted for someone either way too far away, or even in a completely different direction than I’m pointing the pass.
While this targeting issue is ongoing, I found that the opposition is damned near invincible. This is when my players start missing very easy opportunities to take the ball via missed animations, no-clipping, and more pronounced input delay.
To combat this, I went fully defensive, STOPPED using pressure and only used manual movement and matchup(which is also preferable all the time), and tried my damnedest to keep the ball for as long as possible in order to kill off the momentum swing. You should be doing this anyway but I always see people lose their shit and try to fight bullshit with bullshit when they’re under pressure. The time under duress was never more than two real life minutes, which is an eternity when fighting for your life in this game. If you can navigate the times of off kilter behavior by your players, then you’ll see better results. I’ve already seen them improve.
I may never do a normal set piece again. May as well frequent that lunatic fringe on the regular.
Whatever.
What’s a skill and what’s not a skill? Come on you mugs. Let’s start some beef. I’ll go first.
PA1/PA2 - Nope. Not a skill. When the AI is doing 95% of your work and doing it well because you have good passing stats doesn’t mean anything. Not a skill. The passes go around every obstacle in the way and are perfectly weighted. You didn’t earn shit.
Tactics? Nah. This tactical suite isn’t nearly deep enough or even manual enough to consider someone’s tactical setup superior to any other. Konami has ensured this through the way AI acts on the field. You can have the dumbest fucking lineup possible and still thrive.
Defending? Nope. Don’t even get me started.
D1? When you can get there with a sub 70% win rate, it’s meaningless. It does not take skill to get there. I’ve done it with 109 losses and a 29% win rate before. It’s meaningless. Trust.
Dribbling? Yes, I consider good dribbling a nice skill. It does have a learning curve.
Shooting? LOL. You can aim at the sideline and get a perfect top bins result. Fuck off with that.
Someone else contribute. Tell me what’s real and what isn’t in this game. Because it all seems beyond fake at this point. The amount of people I see that are able to get away with the absolute dumbest shit possible in the game and still get results is staggering. We don’t have a football game anymore. We have a mediocrity sim.
Much respect to the VERY VERY few people that log on and play football. So so many are caught up in the bullshit that they’ve forgotten what it means. Actually, I’d be willing to wager that most of the chuds. that frequent this game never knew what it meant in the first place.
I should spam my ass off with this squad, but I don’t. Everything is fake with this squad. Psychotic look with elegant execution. I will post highlights when I can pile them up.
This is pure villainy, though, and I MUST apologize for my heresy. I will take all of the arrows thrown. I simply do not care. Cheers to you animals and dirtbags who embrace the black hat. Show me how YOU work to infuriate everyone. Hopefully this post survives.
It’s a constant fight. My current goals are to enrage my divisions opponents as much as possible through this type of stuff instead of trolling. I cannot tell you many times I’ve seen these goobers start to do pass backs and time wasting WHILE DOWN in response to getting dunked on. Man, the majority of this community is now mentally ill. Konami has damaged them. Real ones will know where the song came from. 🫡
Literally everything is automated. I’m sitting here trying to play with PA4 and manual shooting and things still go the way the game wants it to. Don’t even talk to me about defending. You have more success WITHOUT DIRECTIONAL INPUT. It’s just a game playing against itself. We’re all little brother with our unplugged controller sitting next to big bro who’s actually doing everything while we clap and squeal with glee because we think we actually think we’re making the bits and bytes move. It’s pretty pathetic at this point. This is a damned slot machine. That’s it.
A tribute to the fallen…
6W 2D 3L in divs. Decent run so far considering I’ve only lost matches where my game is only partially functional due to whatever. The net code and the network infrastructure must be God AWFUL for this to be happening. Always a 4.5 bar network graph post game for those scoring at home.
How about a fuma league where you can use YOUR cards? Think about it, no restrictions, no hyper structure, just your stuff and YOUR football against other people with the same ideas. Let’s just PLAY. Join up and see what it’s about. We are looking for members who want to participate in the launch of our inaugural season. Come one come all!

It’s over, man. The game literally auto cleared, with no power bar and no god damn command in place aside from turn the fuck around with the ball, a perfect back heel straight to blitz curler Salah in the box just for him to slot a perfect unstoppable shot into the top corner.
It’s simply not a game anymore. Like at all. It’s just complete bullshit dressed up to look like it.
Fuma or not, this isn’t competition.
Oh and all of these rules bots here and on every other sub outside of r/efootball are completely stupid.
Using this Casemiro as an example….
But what if we stacked a team full of players with the through passing skill and ONLY used through passing for ALL passing? If that skill really does boost passing stats when through pass is used, why in the fuck wouldn’t it be very very useful for us?
Next time I play I’m going try it. I don’t know what else to do besides wait out another one week only gameplay overhaul honestly.
They fucked with passing somehow and it feels like utter cow shit. I’ve played 12 division games against zero smart assist users and only scored about 3 goals. Good luck.
Quick notes:
Dribbling, nerfed.
Ball winning, buffed.
Long shots, nerfed.
Pass reception, in the toilet.
PA1/2, still the same old over powered junk.
But hey, no smart assist huh? Yay!
Beat him fair and square. He gets the ball anyway. OH WELL.
A quick cautionary tale:
3 year pool owner here. Apparently, I had a nice lapse in concentration this spring as I was campaigning to open the watering hole back up and I bought not only stabilized pucks, but also stabilized shock. I ran through 6 pucks and two bags of shock in 3 weeks getting the water ready to go. I ran my first CYA test thereafter and then it all hit me pretty smack dab in the face. 100+ppm. My first run in with high CYA. Now the pool isn’t a wreck at all. In fact, it’s quite clear and perfectly balanced otherwise. There have been no significant blooms as of yet.
The first steps I took when I found my test, and my 2 retests, to be high were these:
Immediately clear chlorinator of tablets and maximize flow to flush it out. Chlorine was already a tad bit elevated by a couple of ppm so I only added half a gallon of bleach and let the pump run overnight to keep circulation. Unsure if that did anything significant at all but it sounded ok. Chlorine went above 10ppm. I started to drain/fill (garden hose in, garden hose out) simultaneously the following morning for a few hours. No change after testing. I returned the pump to normal 8a-8p operation and continued drain/fills over the next two days, today included. I am now under 100ppm. I figure I’ll be displacing a lot of water over the next few days to reign the CYA back in. I was hoping to have a bunch of rain aid in this little project but, of course, the several inches we were supposed to get aren’t coming. It’s a pain but it’s clearly not impossible to recover.
I’ll be sticking with liquid chlorination and manual CYA balancing as needed from now on. I’ll only use stabilization when we leave on vacation this summer.
READ THE LABELS and be mindful of stabilizers my people.
He tied the match with this missle. He proceeded to scored a fucking backwards bullet header in the 115’ to win it. I didn’t clip that one because it was ridiculous. 😂
