I saw the recommendation to use 3M cavilon spray for preventing the rash/irritation caused by fabric straps - but the spray bottle I got kind of sprays an unpredictable area - i think I would end up using one bottle for 8-10 usages.
is there any recommendation to apply this without wastage?
Every 4th game.. At match start, opponent at 2 bars, then a 3 minute wait. After that either they drop completely or go to 5 bars and start blitzing through the field.
VDS decides to just casually over the ball to the attacker in front of him instead of his own team mate. It’s another matter that my defenders were happy to let the opponent be 1:1 with my GK. One would think VDS was angling for a job at the opponent’s club. Then around the 90th minute my passes start clicking and I score.. just like that.
Why would a company want its players to score with artificial scripting instead of regular application of skills? Why would they sell packs of hyped up cards and then make them do silly things in game..
When I see their “interviews” which are again scripted they appear so sincere. And yet they have let the script and network lag ruin the game.
the game is all about rage quitting yourself or others rage quitting. no one going the full game anymore 🫠
Well done on destroying a beloved game Konami. Uncontrolled scripting/DDA, network lag, and you guys just rolling out pack after pack. The only “game“ here is Konami betting in being “less bad” than EA.
It’s frustrating that the finishing is so abysmal when playing against AI. I’m not even talking about the physics bending shots AI pulls, I’m talking about the shots that should be guaranteed and instead they are missed. Even without smart assist a simple controlled shot attempt skies the ball. Or whizzes past the net..
Does Konami really want to discourage people from buying cards with this nonsense? At least AI div should be the one place where cards work as advertised. Instead we see squad after squad with massive spaces, low strength teams and get hamstrung with low blocks While the AI scores from mid field.
There’s no concept of allowing players to feel good about owning an elite card. In a different match, Neymar was landing or missing alternate shots.
[opening squad is the AI opponent]
Destroyer Rijkaard continues to have a good position even against QC. I took a risk by (a) not playing a solid DMF (b) not using anchorman vs QC. But the defenders worked pretty well, including Pirlo. I had deep line defensive for Pirlo.. This is one of the rare games after the latest meta shift when my LBC defenders were staying back and i think that was mainly due to Davids who ran all 0ver the field and Rijkaard who held position.. Anyone else using LBC without a solid DMF?.
This was me playing QC against AI‘s possession against that squad with massive gaps .. but any time I worked my way through there was always a welcome party .. while my own defenders were trying their best to concede. I mean as soon as I kickoff from mid field the dolts immediately go wide and there’s no one between mid field and the GK within 2 seconds of kickoff.
And then there’s Bellingham - this card has become a red card magnet, especially if the smart assist is off. It’s the 3rd consecutive (for him) game where he’s been sent off.
its one thing to present a “fair, tough” challenge and quite another to rig the odds totally in the AI’s favour. So now we have a situation where even the most basic AI squad can male even an elite epic squad sweat every minute of an AI game, and of course theres the PvP script which does something similar. So why would anyone bother to upgrade their squad if this is what lies in wait.
I don’t want a DR mode. I want a p2p friendly mode where I can set the filters, find an opponent, send an invite, the opponent can reject or accept, we play a game and we are done. No ratings BS. Why? Check the signal bars for the opponent in the attached images..
QC is enjoyable even if I lose, compared to LBC which is so frustrating just lobbing the ball all over the place hoping I won’t get intercepted at the receiving end. The players move intuitively in QC, the passes connect, what more can want for entertainment.
Are we playing just to beat others somehow or are we playing to be entertained.. there’s only so many times one can lob a ball from a low block and feel good about it. Maybe that’s why the devs again flipped to QC as the meta. But if that’s the case why don’t they just drop all the other playstyles if they are anyways going to keep only one as the META ..
All my QC games are hugely entertaining - as compared to lobbing pong pong in LBC. Possession is good too but the network lag destroys it. Here I started with Possession and the opponent was OW. After conceding one, I switched to QC. All the goals I conceded were due to incorrect passes or defenders not being in possession. In OW a pass easily goes edge ways across the field but try that in any other play style and it won’t make it past mid way.
.. is where the cool folks are.
somebody made this four months ago - and here we are the issues as still the same. Nothing has changed…
They say that they are using their servers to ensure that there is No circumvention of rules. But why can’t they use dual band mechanism - set up p2p for actual positioning and command relay of players + server backend for monitoring the gameplay at a lower frequency.
Instead, they want to keep selling new cards and keep fooling everyone that a new card will work better than then older card... When all cards are finally plagued by the same delay and the same latency..
QC makes it obnoxiously easy to beat any opponent in the current state of the game. There was a time when LBC was “it” and I guess now it’s QC.
Surprisingly the defenders are much better placed in QC now compared to possession and LBC.
Attacks are a snooze now, just ping pong your way through with short passes and everyone parts the waters for you. The opening goal and the player ratings (opponent’s CB was the top ranked lol) make it seem like maybe QC is the new smart assist.
Thats how div 1 is attained now, I guess. It is pitiful that people take a scripted game so seriously that they feel the need to try all these tricks just to feel good. The funny thing is 3 out of 5 such manipulators end up losing the game itself if their WiFi doesn’t kick in fast enough lol.
So I got this formation and tip from iremainmev
https://www.reddit.com/r/pesmobile/comments/1tsszmg/comment/ooxnwfx/?
Konami seems to have buffed edge to edge OW without a doubt and also nerfed LBC defending.
The anchormen at CB are always in position and even VDS whom I’ve criticised is making heroic saves in OW.
Sideways passes are way more accurate in OW as compared to vertical lobs in LBC. Narrow formation opponents are left a bit hapless.
I ensured SmAss was off.
I had to LOL when I saw all my players just wondering what they are doing in a football game instead of running around in a playground sandbox. Cech tried many saved but then finally just gave in. It’s exactly the same when I win when the server is nearer to me - my attackers steal the ball from sleepwalking defenders. That’s all there is to PvP now, one side sleep walking and the other running riot.
PvP is unplayable with or without smart assist .. the game responds to skill moves after a second . Same for passes or taking controlled shots. And all this despite restricting to nearby players. We’ve kind of lost sight of the unplayability due to lag while we got distracted by smart assist, and then there’s the script.
Option 1: Play against legendary AI with fluid skill moves and gameplay, accept that there’s no reward for the grind - the gameplay is the reward
Option 2: Grind pingpong style football through network lag and a bloodbath with almost no option to execute skill moves (due to lag) in the hope of getting one card..
not a rant, just confirming whether that’s where most of us find ourselves?
All said and done these options are miles ahead of FC and I am happy to play vs AI without a reward.
just noticed it today, is it safe to continue using?
