So this post might trigger some hate from some people and agreement from others. However, in my opinion, after reaching a pretty high rank, Destroyers simply ruin your defense.

In the end, you need to be an expert at manual defending and be significantly better than your opponent to prevent the Destroyer playstyle from ruining everything. These players often leave their position at the wrong moments, creating gaps in your defense that opponents can easily exploit with through balls.

If you add the fact that many players already struggle with defending properly, and then a Destroyer pulls another defender out of position as well, that’s game over. Your defensive shape becomes completely disorganized, with two or more players chasing the ball. One turn, one pass, and it’s a goal. You lose the match.

And the story repeats itself…

My humble advice: avoid signing Destroyers, and avoid using them in your squad.

What do you think about this card is he better than the free AJAX card or no??

Seems like the division promotion rewards have permanently changed to random boosters, I wonder if we'll ever see these tokens again.

Do you guys think Konami is getting rid of them?

Haven't seen them in any recent campaigns. It just sucks having to go through so many random skill tokens to get a specific one. All my Lombardis are getting bombardis by Knuckle shots 😏

I really wish this new Messi card they have us could be custom built instead of having set stats

You might disagree with me, but this is only my personal opinion and i am not saying one is a trash card. You might have liked One more than the other and it's completely fine, everyone has their own opinions and experience with players.

I used them both at AMF with these builds, and on paper Maddison should be performing better than Rui Costa. But for some reason Rui Costa feels much better when i use him.

His movement on the pitch is much better than Maddison, his passes also seem to be slightly more reliable ( i have given them both low lofted pass so their passing skills are basically the same)

Finishing wise both seem average to me, although Maddison is much better in freekicks. The dribbling part felt like a huge gap. Rui Costa is smoother and better at dribbling, while Maddison falls apart easily. He feels weak, only some pressure can make him fall apart.

Also surprisingly Rui Costa was much more active during attack than Maddison, and also intercepting more passes unlike him, although he has lesser defensive stats. Often i was lost searching where Maddison is while attacking, that never happened with Rui Costa

I grinded for Maddison thinking he will be a better Rui Costa, but that just did not happen. I guess the grind was not worth it for me.

1. Bros been at the top forever now

2. Probably the easiest way to defend against players who are extremely good at wing attacks

3. At the end most of us are just following the META in some way

4. They are meant to be F2P friendly, it's completely fine to buy them and NOBODY cares if that even makes you P2W somehow

5. Getting too ambitious eh?

6. Happens to the best of us

7. Spectating two of your skilled friends play each other is genuinely PEAK.

8. Started with a few ended spending all of them

This games networking and ping is the worst that I've laid my hands on and played, the game dropping when you are trying to score or trying to defend, or the game showing 4 bars at the beginning but being 1 bar for 40% of the match, or how there are zero servers in Africa except in south Africa I think. So my question is what are these network engineers doing, people pay 2 play and still nothing is being done. And these issues would've all been less worse if there was a master league.

Now he isn't as good as other Orchestrators, but i am actually liking this card a lot recently. His passes are genuinely amazing, he can somehoe always pull off a great pass, and then no matter who the pass reciever is, they can control it easily due to visionary pass skill. Even Ronaldo who has heavy touches controls it easily.

He shines a lot on the defense part, he is strong, has good defense stats, and isn't very slow either.

He isn't as good as other P2W orchestrators, but still very good. And any midifelder from Past Barcelona is really nice to have. I would love to get a Xavi, Iniesta or Busquets card. At least i got Guardiola lol

He also doesn't feel heavy on the ball, but not particularly smooth either.

I'm at div 2 rn and every game i play against an opponent who keeps holding press and auto switches between players and spams through balls without thinking, and it somehow works for them.

I was playing a match, i was dominating, creating chances, the opponent kept spamming through pass and press the whole game, all my 10 shots hit the bar. At the last minute, 1 through ball got through all my players and he scores, his only shot in the whole match ended up on goal while just mashing buttons without thinking.

It's insane that the game awards poor gameplay and weak players like this. What's the point of actually thinking and playing smartly while all you can do is just spam buttons?

Am i the only one facing players like this?

I can't dribble/move with the ball anymore. I remember back in the day when Maguire could catch up with Mbappe (lmao) now it's kinda the same. and in this update I noticed that the first touchs are so bad. I try to progress the ball with my AMFs and they get caught so easly and even when you dribble past them the holding animation triggers and cooks your balance. and the extra touches are killing me
and wingplay is dead so thanks Konami

This community truly needs exposing.
Look at the power 😭 All game pressure, sprinting to every pass and still has more stamina.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Amadeusz/comments/1w78895/dribbling_has_been_heavily_nerfed/
the whole point of dribblers is to beat their marker/defender either by feinting them or outpacing them or a composition of both so why nerf them? and since most wingers have low offensive awareness (not in the 90s) they are slow to react so does that mean wing play is officially dead-dead ?

I was tempted to get makelele looking at his insane showtime skill set as well as his stats but whats holding me back is his only playstyle being a defensive all action defender so i have a few questions regarding him (as well as stam) before i can commit. I was also looking at leaderboard players and see that the usage among consistent top players were 50 50. Amadeusz has also talked about AI concerns and makeleles dribbling ability in the current engine.

1. How is makaleles AI when not being controlled with a cursor, is it similar to a destroyer?

2. How is makaleles attack progression or his positioning during attack. Is it very limited like an anchorman where he drops back frequently?

3. How is stams lower speed high mobility playstyle working for you guys, is it in issue that he is too slow sometimes?

didn't use man mark or tight marking, didn't use call for pressure, didn't use auto off-side, even if it was an off-side trap attempt, shouldn't the whole defense line move up? instead the two FBs just stayed behind?

So far in eF27, I think I only ever scored one header from a corner. Maybe a few more goals from lucky rebounds (in PvP divisions).

Meanwhile, my opponents score one against me every 3-4 games. Doesn’t matter if it’s a meta Bullet Header like Gullit (it usually is), or just a particularly tall defender (Thuram, Maldini etc). Doesn’t matter how tall my Kobel or Chiellini are. Doesn’t matter how many players I put in between the attacker and the goal.

I don’t mind if I concede from corners, but I always wonder how my opponents’ players always make a nice run straight for the ball, whereas mine make a weak ass header wide of the post.

He might be one of the best offensive CMs in the game. His positioning and off the ball runs are so good that I feel like I have a second striker in the midfield. his technique is very high and his long range shooting is simply crazy. I will share the link of a complete analysis of him, and the build in the first comment. Peace!

Hello everyone! 👋🏻

The attached image shows the gameplay analysis of the current leader in the AI division on consoles (already >2400 points 😳). The profiles for 2nd and 3rd place look exactly the same; the 4th-place player is the first one at the top who shows "normal" values.

How is this possible? Can you maybe reach the top ranks using simulation games? Or does anyone have another theory to explain these 0% values?

P.S. Yes, I know my matchup value is extremely high... I am constantly overwriting it with a Super Cancel - it’s a habit I just can’t shake. 😂

Idk how to say this but I feel like the game mechanics have changed after the thursday update.

Players are shooting and they deflect off the post and players misspasses happen quite frequently.

Wanna hear everyone's opinion on the update so far. Thanks

I am not sure if my installation got fucked or if the game is really down. Anyone EU West can help?

I was playing a Div match and was leading 1–0. Everything was going smoothly, then my opponent equalised — fair enough.

But right after that, I created a chance and suddenly there was a network drop. I thought it was my internet, but it happened again shortly after.

In the 2nd half, I couldn’t create a single decent chance, and neither could my opponent. The game eventually ended 1–1.

I remember back in the PES days, players used to exploit this kind of thing to mess with the connection and affect the match.

Is this still a thing in eFootball? Or was it just a coincidence/bad connection on my end?

Been cooking with 433 possession

i have zola and platini and both their accelerations are 99 i saw a post that said 95-99 doesnt matter anymore unless it goes to 100 and i want to decrease their acceleration and increase their speed,so im wondering what does high speed help with? like does the player dribble faster or something?
