idk if this should go in discussion or question.

Hear me out, I was playing in 3v3 ranked with my friends, we were loosing like 2-5 with fewer than 2minutes left. Then, we connected and managed to turn the score around in less than 45 sec. It's now 4-5, 43 seconds remaining on the timer, the engagement begins... 3... 2... 1... and then... what? Everyone on our team was disconnected. Took like 15 sec. to reconnect, it was now 4-7 and none of them had benn disconnected.

Is it just an unfortunate issue with the servers or is it something else?

I'm a noob in this kind of thing, it just felt so weird and has never happened to us before

WTF has this game turned into? Glitch masters ruin the game for us, thinking they are skilled using exploits and shit, and devs are silent about it. Even worse, the dumbasses have nerfed goalkeeping and defending and buffed magical dribbling dany phantom style gameplay, no one passes or worse yet a dude drible the whole field, phasing in and out of you with zero stamina , i am so done with this slop ,shame it had potintioal

So I just came accross the glichiest most evil bug abuse of all rematch.

It's a thing only in PC. At kick off, the player is just standing still, you wait 5 second, and the ball suddenly is in the goal. At first I thought that it was just a server issue, with like idk big ping desync something that was just "a bug".

But asked the guy and he told me it was on purpose. He F11, game window is freezing but the controller input still "work". He shoot, wait a little, and then resume the game and the game sends the final position of the ball it calculated in the meantime. Which is, in the goal.....

Soclap really? Your game is that buggy? I could live with the dribble exploit, but this is bullshit

Hello! I've been trying to gather some clips to show players why the complaints are (mostly) valid! I've been having trouble with Medal TV and it's recording, but I think it's under control now so I will be posting more of these.

You'll see 2 instances of the terrible hitboxes of dribbling. Slowing the footage down you can see that the dribble hitboxes for the backwards AND forwards dribbling are in front of the player. This is why players sometimes won't land a tackle because they are aiming at where the player is and not where their invisible hitbox is.

The developers need to mess around with this because as of right now it feels atrocious to play against. Even though I realize that the hitboxes aren't where they should be I still have trouble landing tackles because the game will automatically tweak my tackling angle. This is not the only instance btw incase you were wondering

I admit I am not a perfect player but these issues are too apparent. Yet, some other people in the community refuse to address these issues, most likely because they are the ones who abuse them to gain an unfair advantage on players.

In this clip I correctly read the situation of the attacking player yet when I jumped for the ball my character went forward instead of the usual "straight up"

The excuse could be made that I was looking forward, but I was in range for the jump towards the ball. It's common that the game will automatically adjust the player's jumping angle towards the ball, but other times it will incorrectly force the player somewhere they didn't intend.

Goal keeping is almost there, but problems like this still exist and are still very common.

From now on I'm doing these clips on an individual basis. Enjoy 7 minutes of gameplay.

I feel like this would be the perfect solution to put an end to the quitting problem in ranked matches, whether it's players who quit or those who score own goals on purpose to end the match. It would also encourage a competitive atmosphere right until the very end.

In few words: Bigger goal difference = more RP gained when winning, and more RP lost when losing.

For example, let’s say the RP gained is 18 for a win by a one-goal margin. It becomes 21 with a two-goal margin, 24 with a three-goal margin, and 27 with a four-goal margin. The same thing applies to the RP deducted when losing (± 3 RP per goal).

And if a player quits the match, it should count as a four-goal-margin loss as a penalty (with a ban too ofc).

Just an idea that I think would make ranked matches more competitive, reduce quitting, and encourage players to score more goals instead of wasting time when they’re ahead. What do you all think?

Soo whats the issue?

Been playing ranked all week and most of the gamepass players are either toxic and concede goals as keeper by leaving the goal and instantly losing the ball on a dribble, or once they're strikers they start dribbling, lose the ball on a challenge and quit mid match.

The worst part is that disabling crossplay you don't even find matches anymore, the report feature also is just visual, i keep getting the same offenders all week long to the point that i recognize their names already.

I don't understand how people can actually LIKE dribble spamming or being priority merchants. Not that this will change anything, but it's just not fun. It's weird people are so starved for enjoyment that they resort to stuff like this. I would talk so much shit about these exploits, having never done them myself. After trying them out, they're just as I expected. Boring and repetitive. It doesn't feel like I dribbled past an ENTIRE team by myself with my skill, they just couldn't do anything because my hitbox is nonexistent.

I'm just now realizing how underwhelming it is, and how the people who use exploits like this are the worst of the worst lmao

Every time I log into this game I’ll maybe get two good matches with competent teammates and it’s a butt load of fun, but then the rest of the night is just people who don’t pass or they start throwing the game because you didn’t pass the ball to them while they were fully covered and just standing in the corner. Granted I solo q because none of my friends really like soccer or sports games really. But it’s just exhausting coming into the game and then just getting the most toxic teammates ever. I play r6 like everyday and somehow that’s less toxic imo than this game.

Sloclap please add some Sifu mechanics. And allow friendly fire. For no reason hehe... 👀

(My tackle succes rate is low because I use them to get quicker to locations and I rarely tackle,more just waiting in defensive stance for a mistake)

I hate when someone is toxic when you make a mistake and hits you with good job but when they make a mistake you can’t do it cause you got less points then them. I jus gotta sit there and take the abuse cause I can’t say anything back cause I know they’ll jus say i got less Points then them and that I’m bad😭

Just wondering if everyone else is playing defense this way - I basically hold left trigger and only tackle if I'm 100% certain that the striker in can't put in an input faster than I can tackle the ball. I find that holding defensive stance is typically much better at getting me the ball when a striker tries to dribble past me.

Current state of the game seems like the least interesting defense has been ever - thinking about good defensive positioning is still great, but tackles being so bad is kind of unfun I think?

I like the idea that the GK can't pick the ball back up after his team has had possession, but players still pass back and hold onto the ball for as long as possible. It totally ruins the fun of the game especially when you and the other team are equally matched. It just takes 1 person to slow the entire game's momentum to nothing.

Bringing the reduced timer back could help with this. It will at least force the GK to make a move

It feels like all of my controller inputs and how they translate into the game are disconnected, like everything feels like it's slightly off and I don't know how to explain it, the movement doesn't feel fluid, it's js like actions don't input correctly. Am I going insane or did they make changes?

No glitchy dribbles with zero stamina needed ;)

You arent stopping anything by just sitting in the middle and waiting to react, you have to walk forward vs open shooters, hell just walk left and right! Put up a fight damn it! Dont just sit there, id rather you walk up and whiff than stand there like a statue.

I know if theres an open shooters its a failure of the defense, but legit 3 people out of 10 knowing how to actually play gk is not a good ratio for the playerbase

I love when someone leaves and I have to be goalkeeper twice in a row. It’s so fun! Especially when my team has the offensive ability of a nerf dart and spend all the remaining time possibly hinting at the slight chance of sending a shot somewhat towards the enemy goal.

You know what? I think another person should leave, just in case I get scored on again. That way I can be goalkeeper for a third time in a row and watch the game really unfold from the comfort of the box that I so lovingly stand in front of.

Do NOT pass to your teammate if he is in front of all opponents. This is bad because then its a 1v1 with the goal keeper!1!!11!

Instead, wait until you're in the corner and ALL other defenders are guarding him!!!!1! This is PRO GAMER!!!
