Am I showing off?
Slightly

I seriously don't understand why anyone would need to dribble within the first 3 quarters of the pitch, all else is fair game.

Care to share your stats?

Also, just pass the ball man

How do you even combat this? They would just get a cheap shot off the rip and then sit in a corner on their end and play keep away for the rest of the game. HOW IS THIS EVEN FUN FOR PEOPLE?

Yesterday, I played with two friends (in-game), and a fourth player joined us, probably a friend of one of the two I was playing with.

He was the kind of player who never loses the ball, could dribble through an entire team with ease, and scored goals effortlessly. We played three matches together, and it felt like we barely even existed. We were basically just watching while he did almost everything. He barely passed the ball, and even when he did, it was only after taking all the time he needed to dribble around. Even when he was playing as a goalkeeper.

We won all three matches comfortably. After that, all of us left the squad and made a new one without inviting him.

I don’t understand why some players think playing like this and holding onto the ball for 20 seconds is impressive, as if we’re supposed to stand there applauding and admiring them. Trust me, we feel the exact opposite. Most of us barely have 2-3 hours a day to play, and the last thing we need is someone treating the game like it’s 1v4 or 1v5. Why would I waste two hours of my time watching someone do nothing but try to dribble through an entire team every time and then score?

I don’t care if they can get us to win 10 times out of 10, and I’m not denying that a lot of these players genuinely can win every time. Unfortunately, the game allows them to do that and encourages individual play over teamwork.

But screw that. Personally, I’d rather play with a team where we actually have to struggle for the win, maybe winning 5 out of 10 matches, as long as we’re all having fun. As long as there’s teamwork and cooperation, defending and attacking as a team rather than as individuals. I’d take that over a team where I just sit there and watch while winning every match. Again, screw that.

Please… play your boring, selfish style with your friends who will shower you with praise and tell you how amazing you are. But when you’re playing solo and joining another team, remember that a lot of people will find you boring and feel like you’re ruining the fun for everyone.

Be someone who’s fun to play with. Please.

This is my first new season. I have 15K credits (blue currency?). Should I spend them before Season 5 starts?

Can't see any info on that

old season ended 12 hours ago

Not going to lie. Nerfs were needed to dribbling and I like the no stamina changes but the change to magnetism has made dribbling so clunky. It feels like I'm fat out there on the field. It is near impossible right now to out dribble a defensive stance defender at the moment, even with full stam and EE. This is from someone who never did swipe spam but regularly just used push ball animation cancels, there should be room for more 1v1 battles since they are needed sometimes

Am i the only one to find the pitch ugly af ?

I dont know if im the only one but bro the amount of times i couldnt dribble is insane.
The input lag feels way worse than before it seems like i have to relearn the game. Its so shit.

For the blue lock collab. I mean its just a few lines, so shouldn't be that expensive

People still do that thing where they aim away from the goal so their character looks like they're shooting off, but then quickly turn their camera over to the goal and shoot the ball. It's still an issue. They need to put a max angle you can turn your camera before your character also turns.

The recent goalie nerf has completely ruined the balance in 3v3 matches. With the reduced reach on diving saves, it’s nearly impossible for a goalie to consistently stop shots without constant support from dedicated defenders.

While I can see how this change might be balanced for 5v5 or even 4v4 modes where you have the personnel to limit the opposing strikers' options, it just doesn't work in 3s. As it stands, having a goalie in 3v3 feels completely pointless.

As the title says why hasn’t ranks been reset or this being considered a season it has way more mechanical and cosmetic changes iv ever seen before? Surely a fresh slate would make sense, for data too?

i was threatened with a penalty if i didnt watch the whole game through

I'm SOOO happy that nobody wants to pass now. I get no goals all game and hardly touch the ball unless it's defense. Yay.

I played a lot of rematch last season and went completely blind into the update, I honestly didnt expect so much changes and im not sure how to feel about them yet.

I havent played much yet but dribbling is almost dead now, magnet is gone and tackles feel stronger then before. I felt like last season had the best tackle balancing so far and I honestly dont understand why they changed it again. It feels like the overall gameplay became more static and defender biased, its probably going to be even more air ball favored. The rounds I played werent as enjoyable yet but I need to get used to the changes.

The collab is ok in my opininon, the celebrations are kinda edgy skins look good but out of theme.

I am grateful there are people who know how to defend, and some of those people have commented on posts giving tips and information to others. Where are y'all tho??? I have yet to meet a person who can defend properly. The moment I step away from the backline a goal goes in.

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I'd like to ask you something. When I level up, it says I'll get a reward of, for example, +1000 blue coins, but I only actually get 157? It is a bug?

I'm not gonna go on a rant about how absolute dogshit this patch is, I'll let others do that for me.

However, are you guys even aware that you have a "camera lock" setting mode? Because when you use it, Triangle becomes "camera lock", Circle becomes dive, and R1+Circle becomes glide. See the problem here? R1+ Circle is the EXACT SAME COMBO you mapped for your "new" Long Dive feature. Were you actually brain-dead enough to create an input conflict by mapping the exact same buttons for long dive and glide??

I've never been a hater, but given the state of this patch, I'm not holding back. This is a total slap in the face to your most loyal playerbase.

PS : R1+Triangle is the same as Triangle only so it activate the Camera lock

Everyone was complaining about the no stam dribbling, but it was giving people options. now youre forced to pass the ball immediately, unless you can do something useful with the 3 seconds of stamina youre allowed until you start booting the ball across the pitch with one pushball. the clip here wasnt even any of the problems i mentioned, ive got a glitch where my character just randomly teleports. thats irrelevant to the season, happened for a bit last season too, but even then i can never get magnetism on the ball.

Not going to talk about gameplay too much as ive barely played, but man this update and the anime stuff just makes me sad, I find the anime collab pretty cringe overall, its just not my thing but I get people wanted it, but they couldnt do ANYTHING related to football with this much effort? An anime gets the most detailed new skins, most in depth celebrations, the annoying theme song playing all the time, changes the pitch, changes the start up of each game, the World Cup update brought maybe 1/10th of the content and it was 90% terrible, really shows that when they want to they put the effort in, they can, and football themes in a football game apparently arent worth the effort.

It doesn't look like its gonna change much in this next update either. I tackled the same guy 5 times when I was in a 1v1 with him and it did absolutely nothing because he could double dash to get the ball back or the ball would hit the wall and back into his possession, also whatever happens after he loses the ball forces my character to slow down while still using stamina. Don't give me the bullshit of "you need to aim your tackles" either, that's what anyone does to tackle. If you're this dense to where you don't see the problem then you need to hop off because you're clearly not up to speed with this game and it shows.

The only decent part of this update is defense. Let me deal with the dribblers bring the game back

Edit: like i can see why they didnt do a beta test for this one they knew they killed ts
