My main problem hasn’t been this - it’s the ball going right through my player over and over on passes when I’m right in the middle of the passing lane. You can hold matchup and the player still just does not react at all. Happens over and over now.
I changed the way I defend in matches n since then I've never really had an issue. My only problem now is how trash goalkeepers look in the game. The diving animations in the game r old n they look kinda glitchy n weird. Sometimes they can't even make simple saves. Konami need to rebuild goalkeepers from scratch
@@psyrovn I basically do the same thing in this video. Keep calm n use match up only when u have to. Don't spam it. N also don't rush when playing. Try to be calm
I play on pass assist 4 I dont mind the defending changes. But my game previous relyed heavily on dribbling. I still havent completely understood the new dribbling mechanism. It looks like without the finess dribble the player wont keep ball closer to his feet as it used to be before update, even when the stick is very slightly tilted. I have fallen from div 2 to div 5 because of the same 😅, the pass speed changes and everything has affected my gameplan a lot on pa4. Also the formations are not working as they are suppose to. Lot of time i see players off position like literally on the opposite wing.
It's good to talk about problems, but it's problematic when it becomes a constant issue, which is what stopped me personally from playing, and since yesterday it's been really fun
Exactly what i noticed Rock, been dropping back not rushing in holding match up. Defend properly not lazy holding match up and charging around. There's now a skill to defending as well as attacking 👍🏻
Yeah I like how defending works it's difficult when you playing possession or quick counter If you get interceped you have a very difficult situation but it's great I don't mind it
In tine i hope you do a longer video about defending in the new patch. Also would like to see your controller definitions. I always used X to match up, for instance. And square to call for pressure.
You can predict as much as you want and wait to do the right move but if my opponent is going 2 time faster than is a game issue. I can put any skill I want to defend but if they have to score they have to score... I think they are aiming only for you to spend more and more to have the players they want you to play and of course those will cost you alot. I don't know man I will take a break to this game
i dont think so i have a good payed squad, i got destroyed multiple times by basic teams since the update. it is a internet connection thing. If your Upload speed is lower then your opponents you will struggle. How do i know? im currently at at my uncles with 100 download 5 upload speed max.. i suck, at home i have upload between 8-16 with 35 download. And this happens all the time when im here.. Like i cannot catch anybody, while they catch me instantly, its like a cat mouse game..And have 30-50 interceptions almost every game.
@@okid7552 Really ? I didn’t knew it I have 400mb download and 40 upload I find crazy that I cannot catch my opponents they run so fast… thanks for the advice I will do some research and see how I can improve my connection
@@DigitalFG. well its my guess because when ever i play at my uncles i suck. Even having a full epic squad. if its not the case then either i get heavily scripted at the moment or many opponents are cheating doing something. The Amount of Goals with the help of a the AI is horrendous while i cannot see the bias for me. Like yesterday i was leading 2-0 i scored two goals with my individual effort i am about to start a counter, i am attacking with 5 players i turn around with my striker and want to pass the ball to my AMF just behind, i just barely touch pass, he passes the ball with full force to my half to Haland, my defensive line is out of place, haland runs and scores. WTF? he shots another 2 AI goals where my defense has heavy input delay or shooting and passing directly into the opponent and i loose 3-2. Like it is such a position when i press pass, shot or cross the ball will go direclty to the opponent. I dont get it. then i get catched instantly, have a lot of input delay while i cannot catch anyone and have to play this dumb cat mouse chase game.
@@okid7552 I feel the same… I go to the conclusion when the game decides you have to take goal you have to take the goal. I switched to pass level 1 2 and 3 and I get the same wrong passes… I feel what the hell we should be a robot that needs to do everything precisely and correct 100% of the times… I don’t get also when my players are so slow like in slow motion it is such a shame that I Really want to put effort… I think they are aiming that you play their game, the game is scripted than use that to your advantage. Awful game… 🤷♂️
I tell you why i struggle... Because some defenders for some reason wont do their job... For example : Costacurta will absolutely shut everything down just by pressing and holding X ( no need to use sprint ) he runs up to the attacker and takes the ball. Thats it. Maldini ( with extremely similar stats and talents ) for the life of me wont even try... Everyone runs past him. He wont even strech his leg out to tackle while the attacker is next or right infront of him...
@@okid7552 Im 100% sure that its not us... I think that its an ingame problem... My basic Kanté is 10 times more effective as a DMF than Makelele for example... I had to Move Makelele to CB because he just wouldnt tackle any attackers... All his defensive stats are over 97... Still nothing... In CB he kills everyone.
@@thebee2685 hi mate since my comment yesterday i implemented the tip from the video, you have to release sprinting whenever you defend and ease down during dribbling in order to get a good response, i won twice and 1 draw, i enjoyed the way i played.
@@okid7552 I dont even use to sprint. I just position and hold X at the right time. If i do sprint its only to close distance quick. Then i let off and hold X. But thank you. 😉
I've been struggling mostly with the enormous gaps my defenders automatically leave in the defense for my opponents to put simple through balls. Was Counter-Attack nerfed in the defense? Have you noticed something?
As much as I hate defending manually, I hope they don’t CJ change anything on defending cause it has forced me to player defense much better than before
My main problem is the when players are caught in the animation where one player is shielding the ball and the other tries to steal it. I almost always lose the ball. What can i do? Is not pressing any buttons the solution? What determines who gets the ball in the end?
I just hold the pressing button for defenders against legend AI until the defender gets it, because challenging them physically allows you time for your other defenders to come into the box and waiting in this game for player to do something will usually lead to a goal, AI is too smart
This update has made those guys who concentrate on team's collective strength rather than concentrating on actual player attributes (88rated Sørloth is better than bullet header 98 Weghorst) and in-game tactics lose...
Its a good thing they nerfed defending but they need to slightly buff the Goalkeepers... Also there is still random player freezing. They should work on that too...
Defending is more manual now than Ai Assisting that was before this update plus now it's more based on playing skills on how to defend or time a tackle So that's a thumbs up
Bro I don’t get why noobs don’t understand football. Yeah it’s a video game but do people even watch real life football and know what they’re looking at? Or do people just see it blindly as entertainment. It’s not that complicated. Just apply some of what happens in real life to the video game and you’ll see you get better.
It's typical the new generation they want everything easy and super fast and unrealistic just to suit them. They be crying to konami asking them to change the defending to efootball 24.. and the sad thing is konami will probably listen so they can keep them buying cards
Funny you’d say that Bro a video game is a video game You think everyone has finesse dribbling in real life? Or everyone can get double touch Or boosters? 😂😂😂😂😂 Real life shii don’t work in this game bro because the game wants you to play a certain way, is that not why Long ball counter is the Meta? If you want to win every match you can’t play in some certain ways and you are here telling me about Real life.
true bro, last season i was super frustrated with noobs who have crazy interceptions, now noobs needs to learn when to do manual defending, when to led AI do their job
@@olanigbaezekiel9874 bro you're basically telling me just be quiet and play like a rat meta ping pong football. Nobody is saying you have to exactly play like real life but this game is SO far from it. The ping pong gameplay is something that FIFA does and they used to be better at it where people could have more fun but this game is turning into the same ping pong crap. It's even starting to feel like FIFA fut where you can't use slow players because they don't fit the ping pong noob 200 pace mbappe interception heavy gameplay. I thought efootball was better in efootball 22 and 23. From 24 on, it feels like the game is getting more and automated, more scripting.. inconsistent gameplay and it's all to appease brain dead ping pong noobs. Do you not expect a more realistic gameplay from Konami who have been known to make the best football simulators? It does work in football games.. I've been playing football games for 15 years now and I know. I remember on FIFA I used to destroy teams by playing nice creative football.. even on efootball I was doing the same until efootball 24,25... They tweaked the game to appease noobs now. Do you know why its like that? If I pass the ball around like I'm Barca, their team drops back all the way to their goalkeeper and then they have all the best defenders with OP AI and most of the time the ball gets intercepted by the computer and since I'm the one attacking and passing like I'm man city, there's all this space in behind for them to attack with very little effort to get a clean chance. The game wants you to play like a braindead noob. Just admit it man, and honestly it's people like you on why they keep games like this. You don't care about football in the beauty of it in any sense I bet. You just want 500 mph ping pong gameplay and pass to mbappe as striker with 200 pace. That's probably you.
Tackling has been real hard for me against Legend AI man it pisses me so much😢😢tried tackling at one point AI mbappe with my 3 fucking defenders and he shields the ball half the stadium and scores 😢😢so annoying
It's super easy bro.. Whenever AI is trying to beat you.. push the pressure button twice.. it makes your defender tackle the AI & stretch their legs further.. unlike shoulder charge, most of the time the tackle won't count as afoul..
@@i_rxby i understand English very well and to be honest @rockchocolate could have been a little bit more clear. I understood u need to stop running and spamming match up, keep distance to the players.
Just play, if you enjoy the game then it will work. I don't care about the ranking in the divisions, some people don't have the time to push rank which doesn't mean they're bad, trust me.
My advice is, since you are new to this game, you should play more games vs both AI (legend in My League) and PvP. After 1-2 months you can figure out most of your problems
Hey @rockchok I'm a huge fan of Ronaldinho, I have currently 8.000 coins, should I try my luck on the Barcelona's Pack, I really want Dinho.. and I really want to know your opinion, do you think that with 8.000 coins I can really get him by any chances of luck? 🙆🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️✌️🙃
@@rockchok9 Guess I'll do it anyway, because Ronaldinho and Thierry Henry are by far my favourite living legends of football, Henry isn't in eFootball, his last appearance was on PES 2017 MyClub, so Ronaldinho it's the only option on eFootball right now, and I really want him in my team, because that's why we are keep playing this game, so we can have our favourite players from the football world in our Dream Team, but anyway, Thank You for your advice, guess I will risk it anyway, sometimes you must risk it with what you already have, wish me luck bro! 🙂☯️🙃✌️
Make sense for understanding matchup without sprinting is more effective in 24 if u run and press matchup the pass goes under u r legs because u sprinting and press matchup without sprinting legs didn’t go up
I agree if match up is not useful when we run (sprint). Because we can not do 2 thing in 1 time: 1 is run, 2 is cover/intercept the ball/player. I think it's logical.
the ball goes through my 104 rated kahn 🤣shots from div 7 players. they've messed the game up simple as that you can go into extra detail but its as simple as they've done some noob friendly 💩
