I often see that you think finishing in FC is bad. I don’t think it’s amazing, but I score way more with a worse team in elite divisions, and I think that it’s down to the angle you take your shots at. You often take fade away shots, or take shots from angles that never go in, yet still try it and then complain that it doesn’t go in. I think you’ll have a better time with finishing if you work on better angles when shooting. Love the vids!

It really sucks but the best way to defend the side switch spammers is put your whole backline on stay back and agressive press and immediatly select away to your midfielder when they switch. Its literally Fifa defending but its the only thing that gets me consistent stops against this ratty tactic.

It seems very close minded of him to think football should be played exclusively with short, low passes and breaking the opposite team's defence with 1v1 feints. I get it's easier right now to attack a corner kick than to defend one, but that is for sure, 100% a skill issue because you can definitely defend corners but most people don't bother learning how. Most people are also obssessed with having the fastest defenders and forget that defenders should be good in the air so you don't get smoked from any and all set pieces.
@@junkoclipfarmshe called the man a rat after ONE corner was scored on him 😂😂, this is coming from Nick who we’ve all seen abuse broken mechanics for a win
The issue isn't just about players coming from EAFC-it's about the mentality that certain competitive players bring, no matter where they're coming from. Whether it's FIFA, PES, or even other games, some players are focused solely on winning at all costs, which leads to a toxic atmosphere in any community
I don’t want to open packs Nick. I want to do what I have been doing in UFL. Not being able to spend cash and load up a team, I want to grind and know others are grinding too.
Exactly. He's questioning why HIGH division games are sweaty. Maybe it's because the top players and playing with the top players (in game and on the game) You also are saying you can't score , yet you are doing the exact same method... get into the box, have your guy go cross body and try to whip it in the corner. Maybe try scoring a few other ways? Like, I don't understand all the frustration based on the highlights youve shown in this video. Maybe it's me.
@@JasonBallwahnyou expose the games flaws when you reach the higher divisions the community is a problem but it’s on the devs to patch this stuff and punish playing like a moron not reward it
Every game since Fortnite became competitive has now had people sweating their arse off making the game unplayable even the people sweating don’t enjoy playing the game
The "sweaty" gameplay culture didn’t start with Fortnite but became more mainstream because of it. Earlier games, like Call of Duty or League of Legends, had competitive players in public matches, but Fortnite’s success brought it to the forefront for a broader audience. When Fortnite introduced competitive modes and massive prize pools (e.g., the $30M World Cup in 2019), it encouraged players to treat every match like practice, even in casual modes. This hyper-competitive culture then spilled over into other games like Apex Legends, Warzone, and Overwatch. That said, some argue the "sweaty" culture truly began with esports titles like CS:GO, StarCraft, or Halo 2 back in the day. However, Fortnite undeniably amplified it for the modern multiplayer era, bringing that mindset to games that were previously more casual-focused.
Bro thinks it started with Fortnite lol…are you 14? We have been sweating since the early 2000s and our parents were sweating before us at the arcade 😂
@ saying literally every game😂 as soon as Fortnite started doing pro tournaments as soon as fifa started doing competitions for money as soon as cod started doing it. No game is “fun” anymore
Fortnite is a different concept, just like cod and other fps/tps it had no AI. All the player. Games which incorporate AI like UFL and FC are taking it too far.
I was really enjoying the first 7-10 days of gameplay but now the mechanic abusing unrealistic meta rats have made the game less fun. Is anyone else noticing the extra time jam is worse and amount of drawn games is stupidly high?
Ofc you draw more, they nerfed finishing and upped the IA defending last week. They are killing this game. Said they increased rewards for Showdown. 5 million CP and a pair of boots. What a joke of a company
I got muted on the discord for saying about this, 98th minute goal when it was 2 minutes extra time, 3 different games similar happened with video proof posted, all the white knights defending it saying get good, mbappe through on goal with personal skin max shooting kept missing the goal or super saves, i had 19 shots on target opponent had 3 on target and it ended 3-3, scripting is huge now but some people wont admit it, i had 78 wins 25 losses and 10 drawns before patch now 140 wins 64 draws and 75 losses, its as unfun as fc now with the meta abuse scripting and ai defence
You're not unlucky Nick, quite the opposite actually. Nearly every game I've played in platinum has been people switching non stop, playing for corners, and passing round the back line. Its genuinely the worst.
well, i dont play like this at all...but i have one suggestion...why not beat these "lab rats"? i mean if you look at it, if its boring to play that dude, then leave the game. report him or block him lol....or just beat him because when you complain, you lose focus on the game and you lose....it is much more satisfying to lock in and win...peace!
Shot cancel on first touch and finesse shot is RATTY too bro. Worse than scoring a corner. Stop being a baby and take the L. The shot cancel on first touch is the worst exploit in the game
How stupid can u be? Literally conceded 2 corners and Lost 0-1 in both games That has to be rage bait right Like no way one human being can be this stupid
Personally, I won’t be playing UFL until the passing is sorted. Ground passes and through balls have loads of error in them but a cross field pass connects 100% of the time. Same with over the top through balls.
I uninstalled the game yesterday for the second time, it sucks when all the glitches come together in several matches in a row and you lose due to glitches. Nothing you can’t do
its not just platinum also in gold and silver. This is a problem that will exist in every game because its just to easy to find those methods on youtube. Its better to just play a singleplayer game stress free
With corners I hope they really lower the header accuracy. I think that’s the way to balance it, not just make it harder for them to win headers but making them hard to get the right power and accuracy with should make the skill gap more enjoyable
At this point youtube meta tactics have genuinely killed all sports games, every single game is played the same way, just find the exploit and abuse it, fifa, eafc, efootball and now ufl all suffer from people only caring about scummy wins and mechanic abuse
This is true for every game though. Everyone wants to win and people will use the meta and whatever means necessary to win. Rather than blaming the community, the developers should be adapting and balancing the game to ensure there isn't one particularly broken twctic. There are so many games which constantly have balancing changes like Valorant, Deadlock and even CS.
The problem with ea is that they are not reactive enough, most of the issues get 'half' fixed months later, and thats best case scenario, because most of the time they fixed it in the next itteration and call it a feature
@@ActuallyAudacity its tuff man, ea nerf trivelas, they go for finess, the nerf finess, they go for powershots etc Eafc is way more competetive than the older fifas and that will force people to use meta
@@Treck99 i feel like this year they trying to send more patches and everything but ate the end of the day, they just want money so its kinda irrelevant
I dont get why you people are acting like this is just a division issue, it happens even in the earlier divisions. They have made corners overpowered just like FC, as I said before its a cooked time we live in, no good football games anymore. BO6 ftw.
Its not like he was shooting near post at every opportunity, these rats are so robotic, they spam the same move every single occasion. Bro wasn't even building up, he was just switching the ball and crossing. How can you defend such gameplay dude, its actually pathetic that you said this.
@kuzivamathew2612 having a damn near guaranteed chance of scoring on the near post then spamming that is also ratty. Also I never said every single time I said "abused". And, I'm not defending the gameplay I'm calling out the hypocrisy
Yeah I agree with the server point because I live in Australia and I'm always getting games with mid 50 ping but when it spikes to 60 the game becomes so unplayable and the input delay becomes treacherous making my players turn like trucks
"UFL, we need to polish this game up." - Yep. I've only played three games of UFL. First was a 4-1 win against a bot that they pitched as being a human. Second was a 1-1 draw where I scored a header off a corner without even trying and he equalised in the 93rd with a breakaway from a blind clearance. Third was a 2-1 win against a guy who completely outplayed me. He should have won 7-0. He scored within 5 minutes, then his keeper saved a shot from outside the box and for some reason I was given a penalty instead of a corner. My keeper and defence stopped me conceding again without me having to do much of anything. I scored the winner in the 94th minute with my third shot of the match off...oh, right...a counter that came from a blind clearance. Apparently, there's a mad skill gap, though.
You think it's bad now if they add player packs. it will be 1000% worse because they're not playing for anything now except wins, and there this ratty imagin if there are high rewards to be earned. Showdown would be cooked, and if they do add player packs in rewards, they should be a max of 83 rating. To keep it "fair to play".
Changes we need asap: being able to switch players while the ball is in the air, unlock ourselves from balls in contention using LT, the headers need to be more consistent for the defending side, keepers not catching the ball when supposed to and corners. These come in my mind as urgent things that need fixing.
Yes that's what I was telling my friends cant 😢 players while ball in the air is not working am fighting with the controller to defend or hit the ball !!! Wtf
through balls on the ground need fixing and the lw to rw l1 through ball over and over again also to go with what you said, need to make football plays fun like the start not meta abuse
Tbh guys, it is kind of inevitable since you go in the higher divisions, there are always going to be abusers of some mechanics, I would not blame the developers but the spammers, and thanks to them we see big things that need to be fixed, now it is up to the game devs to fix this, I really want this game to be good so I think they need our support and constructive criticism
@@raresstefan1249 I tried on the discord but too many rats want it this way so we are kind of screwed, I want full manual defending and better finishing back at least i can outscore the rats that way
Man I've been enjoying all the vids and leaving a like, but I didn't expect to see that on the first bad day with the game you were going to say that the game is boring, It makes it look like it's only fun when you win but not when you lose. (Just an observation).
I had an almost identical experience yesterday. But unlike you, I didn't turn it off. And that was a mistake from me. I kept thinking I could play my way back. But no it just got worse. I couldn't score no matter how good a chance I created. And my defence seemed to be on strike. At one point my defender had the ball, and for some baffling reason, my other defender decided to come over and run into my defender with the ball. It knocked the ball lose. But then the player got the ball back only to end up having a heavy touched that went back to goal and then he caught up to it and knocked it past my keeper. I left FIFA for less. I don't know what's happened. I was enjoying the game so much before yesterday. But now I don't think I will play it again until some things are polished up.
I finished 15-1 last week and for some reason this weekend I can’t even score a goal. Literally feels like I’m playing the same guy over and over again. Switch header back to player shoot goal or corner kick and goal. This game was so fun in the beginning when it actually fell manual but now it feels like I’m going against the ai. I’m 1-1-4 for showdown so far
This is not only for Platinum. I play in Gold 3, Gold 2. I use tight 4-4-2, and the switching from one side to the other is on each game I get opponents with 4 forwards, 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3 etc. They do it on every attack, no exception. They always have wingers free, and usually their highest rated players are the wingers, so you will concede at least once. They are abusing mechanics in all leagues, not related to platinum.
That cross field switch through ball is what I commented about on stream last week. I was still able to get results but I have stopped playing just due to the fact in plat everyone just switches it over and over again. It’s so boring even if you win…
Really appreciate this video and the fact that someone of your status as a streamer is using your platform to show what a different gaming experience can be, speak honestly on what is going well and what can be improved. Keep up the UFL content as long as you feel is positive for you.
Instead of player packs, they could give in showdown's rewards add a ticket for getting a player, like if u got 1w you get a 73player ticket, and u can use it on the store only using rp
I've been complaining about this for like two weeks since I hit plat and I've been waiting for you to get here to see how ratty it is. There are two massive issues with this game that they need to fix urgently: the high amount of assistance in all passing and the positioning of AI defenders being like a peak Mourinho team with perfect spacing. They aren't the only two issues, but they have such a knock on effect on the whole game that they're the two biggest in my opinion. At the end of the day, it is much better to release a game that is too open with too much space for attackers than one that makes parking the bus easy, but all the football games out there are so defensive. I see your point about the community vs the devs, but at the end of the day a lot of people will always optimise the fun out of any game. It's up to the devs to make a game that isn't so easy to abuse.
This corner glitch is getting out of control. Almost every game i get this corner, even if i put the GK or a defender on the spot, it goes in every time.
Of course the rats have infested the shiny new ship. Get them out of here man I’m sick of these nerds spending their entire lives figuring out every little glitch and disgusting meta tactic when all I want to do is come home from work have a beer and play a few matches of a football game that doesn’t feel like ass
I played more than 200 games since EA, managed to build a pretty decent team that climbed till Plat. I was scoring goals easily from everywhere and loving the game. Obviously as people get better and understand the mechanics games got harder, but IMO the patch that released and nerfed shooting really made the game worse. The only easy way to score is to get a tall player and spam crosses / corners where the defense looks hopeless. The super heavy game play is causing a lot of problems to people that want to build more elaborate attacks, which is how I enjoy playing game. I refuse to buy Halland and spam headers, current state is just not enjoyable, and no rewards will change make me wanna play this game.
I came on UFL to try some games it was my fourth game but I’m vsing guys who have played over 80 games with an average of 75 rated players how’s that for welcoming new players
I love how people don’t understand that people will find ways to abuse the game. A new game won’t change that. The Rosy glasses will come off eventually.
Nick I love your content and will always support you, but what's wrong with scoring a goal through corner? Agree the second game was so shit when your opponent just spamming long ball switch continuously. But in general, just try to be more positive man and less complains when you are losing. I know that the problem when you win a lot, once you lose, you'll find it hard to take man. Peace.
This was a brutal session. The issue is not just the abuse of broken meta. They nerfed finishing, which makes it so hard to score now. Finishing was so good Idk why they nerfed it in to the ground. I think it’s going to be a lot of trial and error and I think it’s a good thing that they listen to
That kind of players ruin every single game they touch. Happens in shooters as well but it's way more annoying on football games. It's like because of streamers and pros they believe someday they'll be getting paid 6 figures if they win ranked matches. So they google best ways to win on said game and focus on it 24/7
removed boosters, a pair of boots and an extra 5 mil credit points are the new & “improved” 15 win rewards. ai defending has definitely been touched. the games in the higher divisions are just as bad as FC when it comes to broken mechanics and bs bounces. this game had so much potential not even 2 weeks ago, shit is sad.
The players feel heavy after the latest update. It’s not related to the connection. Even in rocket league there isn’t much difference between 30 and 60 ping. You fell it heavy because they have slowed down the dribbling animations. They did this several times in the super test as well. One build the dribbling is superb and next update makes it stiff and unresponsive
Welcome to platinum…I dropped the game after reaching that division with all the P2W teams and penalty corners basically. I will always say this…this community knows how to ruin any game
Those switching passes being more accurate than ground passes and through balls are a thing since the beggining. Corners are a thing since beta so as exchanging passes in defense to secure the result. AI defending is crazy if your opponent have better CBs. Spamming finesses are more effective than normal shots in penalty area. Most of things are the same since beta and you're just noticing now? For me it's crazy to call someone rat when you abuse David ability and spam finesses.
Everybody above plat 3 abuses these mechanics otherwise they will lose. This is the broken meta. To be honest outside the box finesses are broken mechanics too. Strikerz should nerf the outside the box shots, cross glitches and corner glitches. They need to buff the dribbling and inside the box shots. Currently in the highest divisions people don’t play football and don’t even try to beat the defenders. Switching sides, crosses, long shots and corners
What this game needs is to have the accuracy on everything nerfed to the point where trying a long pass with a bad player loses you the ball 90% of the time. Even a nidfielder with 75 paasing should succeed, but not a fast winger with 50 passing
99% of goals I concede are from switch spamming + corners...almost never a normal goal. They need to fix this and ai defending asap. People will not continue to play if it feels like Fifa/Fc
I say this all the time about online games the community will kill a game faster then anything I hate losing as much as the next guy but if I have to spam a mechanic or do something ratty to win I don’t want to it’s not fun and not skillful. The best way to counter this is to not take the game seriously or don’t play it at all this generation is the worst no satisfaction in winning like a nerd period.
you kept saying how this game is good it has potential before this trash got released and now you cry and whine instead of being honest from the start. you are all now BETA testing this game until they get this right in like 10 years. good luck to this delusional community. you deserve it, for calling anyone who critiqued this game a fifa fanboy, when in reality many of us are football fanboys and we want a good football game. you deserve this also no you cant blame players for exploiting mechanics, that is 100% on developers. that is what bad companies like 2k do to excuse their trash games, they blame the playerbase

The fifa community gonna distroy this game by bringing their toxicity feedbacks,i hope the developers ignore them
The issue isn't just about players coming from EAFC-it's about the mentality that certain competitive players bring, no matter where they're coming from. Whether it's FIFA, PES, or even other games, some players are focused solely on winning at all costs, which leads to a toxic atmosphere in any community
I don’t want to open packs Nick. I want to do what I have been doing in UFL. Not being able to spend cash and load up a team, I want to grind and know others are grinding too.
Have fun when you verse someone who paid £50 to buy Mbappe.
Buddy’s in one of the highest divs in a two week since released game idk who else you expect to play
Kinda exposes the huge flaws of the game that eventually will be a problem for everyone
Exactly. He's questioning why HIGH division games are sweaty. Maybe it's because the top players and playing with the top players (in game and on the game) You also are saying you can't score , yet you are doing the exact same method... get into the box, have your guy go cross body and try to whip it in the corner. Maybe try scoring a few other ways? Like, I don't understand all the frustration based on the highlights youve shown in this video. Maybe it's me.
@@JasonBallwahnyou expose the games flaws when you reach the higher divisions the community is a problem but it’s on the devs to patch this stuff and punish playing like a moron not reward it

Every game since Fortnite became competitive has now had people sweating their arse off making the game unplayable even the people sweating don’t enjoy playing the game
The "sweaty" gameplay culture didn’t start with Fortnite but became more mainstream because of it. Earlier games, like Call of Duty or League of Legends, had competitive players in public matches, but Fortnite’s success brought it to the forefront for a broader audience.
When Fortnite introduced competitive modes and massive prize pools (e.g., the $30M World Cup in 2019), it encouraged players to treat every match like practice, even in casual modes. This hyper-competitive culture then spilled over into other games like Apex Legends, Warzone, and Overwatch.
That said, some argue the "sweaty" culture truly began with esports titles like CS:GO, StarCraft, or Halo 2 back in the day. However, Fortnite undeniably amplified it for the modern multiplayer era, bringing that mindset to games that were previously more casual-focused.
Bro thinks it started with Fortnite lol…are you 14? We have been sweating since the early 2000s and our parents were sweating before us at the arcade 😂
Fortnite lmao 😂
Someone here was born in 2010
@ saying literally every game😂 as soon as Fortnite started doing pro tournaments as soon as fifa started doing competitions for money as soon as cod started doing it. No game is “fun” anymore
Fortnite is a different concept, just like cod and other fps/tps it had no AI. All the player. Games which incorporate AI like UFL and FC are taking it too far.
I was really enjoying the first 7-10 days of gameplay but now the mechanic abusing unrealistic meta rats have made the game less fun. Is anyone else noticing the extra time jam is worse and amount of drawn games is stupidly high?
Ofc you draw more, they nerfed finishing and upped the IA defending last week. They are killing this game.
Said they increased rewards for Showdown. 5 million CP and a pair of boots. What a joke of a company
goalkeepers and AI defending are a complete joke
I got muted on the discord for saying about this, 98th minute goal when it was 2 minutes extra time, 3 different games similar happened with video proof posted, all the white knights defending it saying get good, mbappe through on goal with personal skin max shooting kept missing the goal or super saves, i had 19 shots on target opponent had 3 on target and it ended 3-3, scripting is huge now but some people wont admit it, i had 78 wins 25 losses and 10 drawns before patch now 140 wins 64 draws and 75 losses, its as unfun as fc now with the meta abuse scripting and ai defence
ufl has been infestated
also self destructed with some mechanics
You're surprised? Every game will become infested eventually. Welcome this is online gaming now ..
You're not unlucky Nick, quite the opposite actually. Nearly every game I've played in platinum has been people switching non stop, playing for corners, and passing round the back line. Its genuinely the worst.
Same here I’m thinking I’m going down division because it’s not fun it’s just the same shit everyday
well, i dont play like this at all...but i have one suggestion...why not beat these "lab rats"? i mean if you look at it, if its boring to play that dude, then leave the game. report him or block him lol....or just beat him because when you complain, you lose focus on the game and you lose....it is much more satisfying to lock in and win...peace!
Shot cancel on first touch and finesse shot is RATTY too bro. Worse than scoring a corner. Stop being a baby and take the L. The shot cancel on first touch is the worst exploit in the game
I dont really understand what Nick wants these companies to do
Should they make it completly impossible to score from corners or what?
Nick only sees his own playing style as acceptable and non-ratty
well calling 87 side to side crosses and abusing the same free kick bs 50 times a play style is crazy dude
the moments his finesses stop working is the moment where the game's not fun anymore
@@goncalocaldeira4707then he will start saying it aint easy 😂
Love how he calls everyone a rat that scores against him... 😂😂😂
devs didn’t touch a code and suddenly the finishing got worse for him 😭😭😭
How stupid can u be? Literally conceded 2 corners and Lost 0-1 in both games
That has to be rage bait right
Like no way one human being can be this stupid
exactly lol, while he is using the first time fake shot literally every time
@@Skush2k13 get better CB or GK
@@Skush2k13 he's too busy finding the meta goalscorers 🤣🤣 like an EA sweat
Personally, I won’t be playing UFL until the passing is sorted. Ground passes and through balls have loads of error in them but a cross field pass connects 100% of the time. Same with over the top through balls.
The community is already crying about imaginary patches and accusing every opponent who scores on them of being a rat. Just classic
I uninstalled the game yesterday for the second time, it sucks when all the glitches come together in several matches in a row and you lose due to glitches. Nothing you can’t do
Yeah thinking about uninstalling it and leaving FC 24 with my all 99 team, still bad gameplay but no ridiculous glitches and unpolished animations.
its not just platinum also in gold and silver. This is a problem that will exist in every game because its just to easy to find those methods on youtube. Its better to just play a singleplayer game stress free
With corners I hope they really lower the header accuracy. I think that’s the way to balance it, not just make it harder for them to win headers but making them hard to get the right power and accuracy with should make the skill gap more enjoyable
Bro you need to accept some responsibility for losses. Even the greats have bad runs. Just keep going and keep the faith.
At this point youtube meta tactics have genuinely killed all sports games, every single game is played the same way, just find the exploit and abuse it, fifa, eafc, efootball and now ufl all suffer from people only caring about scummy wins and mechanic abuse
And the honeymoon phase is over.
ufl will be the proof that the biggest problem on eafc is the community and not only the gameplay.
This is true for every game though. Everyone wants to win and people will use the meta and whatever means necessary to win. Rather than blaming the community, the developers should be adapting and balancing the game to ensure there isn't one particularly broken twctic. There are so many games which constantly have balancing changes like Valorant, Deadlock and even CS.
The mechanics shoud never allow this
The problem with ea is that they are not reactive enough, most of the issues get 'half' fixed months later, and thats best case scenario, because most of the time they fixed it in the next itteration and call it a feature
@@ActuallyAudacity its tuff man, ea nerf trivelas, they go for finess, the nerf finess, they go for powershots etc
Eafc is way more competetive than the older fifas and that will force people to use meta
@@Treck99 i feel like this year they trying to send more patches and everything but ate the end of the day, they just want money so its kinda irrelevant
guy scores one goal the entire game off a corner kick.... "THIS GUYS A CORNER RAT"... like...that's weak sauce.
That’s my only pet peeve with Nick. Any corner goals are considered unworthy to him lol
I dont get why you people are acting like this is just a division issue, it happens even in the earlier divisions. They have made corners overpowered just like FC, as I said before its a cooked time we live in, no good football games anymore. BO6 ftw.
Saying another player is a rat for abusing game mechanics while you abused the near post shots on goal a couple of episodes back is crazy
Its his older habit😂
Its not like he was shooting near post at every opportunity, these rats are so robotic, they spam the same move every single occasion. Bro wasn't even building up, he was just switching the ball and crossing. How can you defend such gameplay dude, its actually pathetic that you said this.
@kuzivamathew2612 having a damn near guaranteed chance of scoring on the near post then spamming that is also ratty. Also I never said every single time I said "abused". And, I'm not defending the gameplay I'm calling out the hypocrisy
I don’t want a guaranteed player pack, I want guaranteed personal skin packs so you can get more personals and build the team out that way
Yeah I agree with the server point because I live in Australia and I'm always getting games with mid 50 ping but when it spikes to 60 the game becomes so unplayable and the input delay becomes treacherous making my players turn like trucks
Exactly the players are so heavy !! Omg !!! Let them reduce the ananimation just to make the game smoother
"UFL, we need to polish this game up." - Yep. I've only played three games of UFL. First was a 4-1 win against a bot that they pitched as being a human. Second was a 1-1 draw where I scored a header off a corner without even trying and he equalised in the 93rd with a breakaway from a blind clearance. Third was a 2-1 win against a guy who completely outplayed me. He should have won 7-0. He scored within 5 minutes, then his keeper saved a shot from outside the box and for some reason I was given a penalty instead of a corner. My keeper and defence stopped me conceding again without me having to do much of anything. I scored the winner in the 94th minute with my third shot of the match off...oh, right...a counter that came from a blind clearance.
Apparently, there's a mad skill gap, though.
You think it's bad now if they add player packs. it will be 1000% worse because they're not playing for anything now except wins, and there this ratty imagin if there are high rewards to be earned. Showdown would be cooked, and if they do add player packs in rewards, they should be a max of 83 rating. To keep it "fair to play".
There should be an option for full field man marking when the game detects 3 switches in a row, or 8 passes in defensive half in a row.
Changes we need asap: being able to switch players while the ball is in the air, unlock ourselves from balls in contention using LT, the headers need to be more consistent for the defending side, keepers not catching the ball when supposed to and corners. These come in my mind as urgent things that need fixing.
Yes that's what I was telling my friends cant 😢 players while ball in the air is not working am fighting with the controller to defend or hit the ball !!! Wtf
through balls on the ground need fixing and the lw to rw l1 through ball over and over again also to go with what you said, need to make football plays fun like the start not meta abuse
Tbh guys, it is kind of inevitable since you go in the higher divisions, there are always going to be abusers of some mechanics, I would not blame the developers but the spammers, and thanks to them we see big things that need to be fixed, now it is up to the game devs to fix this, I really want this game to be good so I think they need our support and constructive criticism
@@raresstefan1249 I tried on the discord but too many rats want it this way so we are kind of screwed, I want full manual defending and better finishing back at least i can outscore the rats that way
ur a beast bro keep grinding
Man I've been enjoying all the vids and leaving a like, but I didn't expect to see that on the first bad day with the game you were going to say that the game is boring, It makes it look like it's only fun when you win but not when you lose. (Just an observation).
I had an almost identical experience yesterday. But unlike you, I didn't turn it off. And that was a mistake from me. I kept thinking I could play my way back. But no it just got worse. I couldn't score no matter how good a chance I created. And my defence seemed to be on strike. At one point my defender had the ball, and for some baffling reason, my other defender decided to come over and run into my defender with the ball. It knocked the ball lose. But then the player got the ball back only to end up having a heavy touched that went back to goal and then he caught up to it and knocked it past my keeper. I left FIFA for less. I don't know what's happened. I was enjoying the game so much before yesterday. But now I don't think I will play it again until some things are polished up.
I finished 15-1 last week and for some reason this weekend I can’t even score a goal. Literally feels like I’m playing the same guy over and over again. Switch header back to player shoot goal or corner kick and goal. This game was so fun in the beginning when it actually fell manual but now it feels like I’m going against the ai. I’m 1-1-4 for showdown so far
This is not only for Platinum. I play in Gold 3, Gold 2.
I use tight 4-4-2, and the switching from one side to the other is on each game I get opponents with 4 forwards, 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3 etc. They do it on every attack, no exception. They always have wingers free, and usually their highest rated players are the wingers, so you will concede at least once.
They are abusing mechanics in all leagues, not related to platinum.
That cross field switch through ball is what I commented about on stream last week. I was still able to get results but I have stopped playing just due to the fact in plat everyone just switches it over and over again. It’s so boring even if you win…
Really appreciate this video and the fact that someone of your status as a streamer is using your platform to show what a different gaming experience can be, speak honestly on what is going well and what can be improved. Keep up the UFL content as long as you feel is positive for you.
Instead of player packs, they could give in showdown's rewards add a ticket for getting a player, like if u got 1w you get a 73player ticket, and u can use it on the store only using rp
I've been complaining about this for like two weeks since I hit plat and I've been waiting for you to get here to see how ratty it is. There are two massive issues with this game that they need to fix urgently: the high amount of assistance in all passing and the positioning of AI defenders being like a peak Mourinho team with perfect spacing. They aren't the only two issues, but they have such a knock on effect on the whole game that they're the two biggest in my opinion. At the end of the day, it is much better to release a game that is too open with too much space for attackers than one that makes parking the bus easy, but all the football games out there are so defensive.
I see your point about the community vs the devs, but at the end of the day a lot of people will always optimise the fun out of any game. It's up to the devs to make a game that isn't so easy to abuse.
Love the series keep it up
This corner glitch is getting out of control. Almost every game i get this corner, even if i put the GK or a defender on the spot, it goes in every time.
Of course the rats have infested the shiny new ship. Get them out of here man I’m sick of these nerds spending their entire lives figuring out every little glitch and disgusting meta tactic when all I want to do is come home from work have a beer and play a few matches of a football game that doesn’t feel like ass
I played more than 200 games since EA, managed to build a pretty decent team that climbed till Plat. I was scoring goals easily from everywhere and loving the game. Obviously as people get better and understand the mechanics games got harder, but IMO the patch that released and nerfed shooting really made the game worse. The only easy way to score is to get a tall player and spam crosses / corners where the defense looks hopeless. The super heavy game play is causing a lot of problems to people that want to build more elaborate attacks, which is how I enjoy playing game. I refuse to buy Halland and spam headers, current state is just not enjoyable, and no rewards will change make me wanna play this game.
I came on UFL to try some games it was my fourth game but I’m vsing guys who have played over 80 games with an average of 75 rated players how’s that for welcoming new players
Updated rewards for showdown still bad asf , 15 mil only gives u a 74 rated player! And they removed the boosts it’s a joke!
@@IMeedoo10 plus the 7.5m for playing the 15 games.
This is the first time in a while where a football game actually feels like its worth your time. I feel like the game can improve a lot.
I love how people don’t understand that people will find ways to abuse the game. A new game won’t change that. The Rosy glasses will come off eventually.
Córner glitch stopped for me when I bought a nice gk. But the crossing with lb/rb is killing this game
Nick I love your content and will always support you, but what's wrong with scoring a goal through corner? Agree the second game was so shit when your opponent just spamming long ball switch continuously. But in general, just try to be more positive man and less complains when you are losing. I know that the problem when you win a lot, once you lose, you'll find it hard to take man. Peace.
This was a brutal session. The issue is not just the abuse of broken meta. They nerfed finishing, which makes it so hard to score now. Finishing was so good Idk why they nerfed it in to the ground. I think it’s going to be a lot of trial and error and I think it’s a good thing that they listen to
This changes everything
That was so funny, great video, bad goals!
That kind of players ruin every single game they touch. Happens in shooters as well but it's way more annoying on football games. It's like because of streamers and pros they believe someday they'll be getting paid 6 figures if they win ranked matches. So they google best ways to win on said game and focus on it 24/7
removed boosters, a pair of boots and an extra 5 mil credit points are the new & “improved” 15 win rewards. ai defending has definitely been touched. the games in the higher divisions are just as bad as FC when it comes to broken mechanics and bs bounces. this game had so much potential not even 2 weeks ago, shit is sad.
it actually dont make sense when u hit 6 wins in plat 2 and started the promotion games and if u lose both u get relegated.
finally, ufl content in my veins
The players feel heavy after the latest update. It’s not related to the connection. Even in rocket league there isn’t much difference between 30 and 60 ping. You fell it heavy because they have slowed down the dribbling animations. They did this several times in the super test as well. One build the dribbling is superb and next update makes it stiff and unresponsive
Welcome to platinum…I dropped the game after reaching that division with all the P2W teams and penalty corners basically. I will always say this…this community knows how to ruin any game
It's young ppl who play games that have a horrible mentality and are just lazy.
Those switching passes being more accurate than ground passes and through balls are a thing since the beggining. Corners are a thing since beta so as exchanging passes in defense to secure the result. AI defending is crazy if your opponent have better CBs. Spamming finesses are more effective than normal shots in penalty area. Most of things are the same since beta and you're just noticing now? For me it's crazy to call someone rat when you abuse David ability and spam finesses.
tbf cant be mad at developers for corners, its the players
Everybody above plat 3 abuses these mechanics otherwise they will lose. This is the broken meta. To be honest outside the box finesses are broken mechanics too. Strikerz should nerf the outside the box shots, cross glitches and corner glitches. They need to buff the dribbling and inside the box shots. Currently in the highest divisions people don’t play football and don’t even try to beat the defenders. Switching sides, crosses, long shots and corners
What this game needs is to have the accuracy on everything nerfed to the point where trying a long pass with a bad player loses you the ball 90% of the time. Even a nidfielder with 75 paasing should succeed, but not a fast winger with 50 passing
Had to stop gooning for this
The people I encounter that try to play like they do in FIFA is crazy but the good thing is that they can’t because the players don’t move that good
You don't need Saka, you need a CM, RB and CB.
THIS CHANGES EVERYTHINGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
99% of goals I concede are from switch spamming + corners...almost never a normal goal. They need to fix this and ai defending asap. People will not continue to play if it feels like Fifa/Fc
I say this all the time about online games the community will kill a game faster then anything I hate losing as much as the next guy but if I have to spam a mechanic or do something ratty to win I don’t want to it’s not fun and not skillful. The best way to counter this is to not take the game seriously or don’t play it at all this generation is the worst no satisfaction in winning like a nerd period.
They increased the rewards except that they made it 15 maximum matches played. Draws give you nothing and 5 losses and you are out.
Back in plat 3, hold dat
This kids whole legacy is crying about fifa, UFL, and EA FC.
The moment he loses he questions everything..his age , ratd ,mechanics...weak mentality with ego
They even got my goat pick with the UFL nerf…I thought it was just me who couldn’t score but dayum
3 games was fine for him 😭😂😂
Nick actually switching up fast don’t blame the game blame the players
Comments are wild. UFL is garbage and somehow it's EA's fault 😅
EA lives rent free in the head of these losers
What’s buttons is nick using to do the drag backs and tight movement with the strikers? Thanks!
We love Yr UFL content Bro
Pick has finally arrived at the conclusion most of us reached after playing this shit game for 5 minutes 😂
so its not a fc25 problem its a people abusing the meta problem... hmmmm
Its hard to not make offense broken when defense cant be broken either, they have to either be both broken or both kind of eh
I think people need to realise that football is not meant to be played as a video game. its always gunna be busted.
Watching your UFL gameplays are so much fun, I bought my brother a ps5 for Christmas so him and I can play UFL everyday, keep up the amazing content.
you kept saying how this game is good it has potential before this trash got released and now you cry and whine instead of being honest from the start. you are all now BETA testing this game until they get this right in like 10 years. good luck to this delusional community. you deserve it, for calling anyone who critiqued this game a fifa fanboy, when in reality many of us are football fanboys and we want a good football game. you deserve this
also no you cant blame players for exploiting mechanics, that is 100% on developers. that is what bad companies like 2k do to excuse their trash games, they blame the playerbase
TBH UFL paid him huge money. 🤣
