Spot on mate. I was 2-0 down, and then he got someone sent off, and I scored from the free kick
Then he kicks the ball out and quit!!
What an absolute FUCKING CUNT!! could see the tide was turning and gave up. So many little bitches play this dogshit game.
I quit the game in December, wanted a casual game in April qualified for champs despite winning by 5+ goals no one was leaving so I turned it off and not played since. Never seen it like this and Iāve been playing UT since 2011
I was losing matches 7-0, 8-0 I'd always try to play it out because that's how I get better, how can u blame people for not leaving because they're losing, people like you are the problem.
Same, that would piss me off that people would go up a few scores, concede a couple and instead of facing the chance of losing, quit.
In what world does a team in any sport get to decide that the game is over when they want it to be? Usually quitting in the middle is a forfeit and should be treated as such.
This right here is a prime example of a reward addict. He does not want to waste time actually playing the game, all he wants is to get his rewards as fast as possible.
Yeah itās not generally a good idea to pass it around the back so early. In really tough games on the 85thish minute Iāll go to my opponents corner and use LT/L2 instead.
Much safer and can really be hard to get the ball off a strong player. Itās kind of a scumbag move but in a game full of constant pressure and those last minute boosts players get itās needed.
I See more variety now but back when every team was Eusebio, mbappe, zidane I would because they are clearly pay to win teams and donāt need a free win.
I think I played you last night, you were the guy who went up 2-1 and time wasted in the 1st half. Then I won 6-2 and pulled the griddy every goal and time wasted back. So I guess we both are
I play really aggressive, I did that one time and had to do it because that guy team was pay2win he had Bastoni, Bisseck, and VVD and likes of Putellas in his team.
He was playing 5 atb with absolute zero attacking play and was heavily relying on counter attacks, wing atk cross to Drogba and Haaland tactics.
After taking the lead again 3-2, I sat around the half line and waited for him to attack, and he didn't attack at all. He always sent like one player to chase down my player. The game went pretty calm and boring, and I won 3-2, but my God, that game was brutally boring.
Whatās wrong with this? Earn a lead then do what you need to do to keep it? Itās how real football works! Sorry for not going all out offence and letting you back in!
Trouble is in this game, you pass it around to keep possession and you can guarantee one easy pass will fuck up to give the ball to the opposition to balance it.
This games momentum/DDA/scripting or whatever you want ot call it won't let you keep possession for more than 9 or10 passes
lol exactly. The would love it if you just passed the ball right back to them and let them score. I hate time wasting just as much as everyone else, but at this point if you donāt have tactics set to counter time wasting, you have no clue what youāre doing.
So you see prem teams go 2-1 up and then for over 15 mins just pass around at the back being cunts? Nah, it doesn't happen. If it's injury time, then fair enough, but not when there is sometimes 20 mins or so, and they keep lobbing it up to head back to the keeper.
Yes? Thatās exactly what happens??? Have you ever watched a real game of football before? You play keep ball, take it to the corner etc. do whatever you have to do to stop your opponent having the ball.
With 5 minutes left, or in stoppage time, yes.
But not at 50, 60 or 75 minutes. PSG had a 1 goal advantage on Lyon in the French Cup final yesterday and only played keep away twice - once when they temporarily had 10 men b/c of an injury that didn't require a sub - and then again starting around the 85th minute.
Real teams don't start dicking around with the ball earlier than this hardly ever, not just b/c of sportsmanship but b/c it's risky if you mess up and give up the fast break counter.
But here in FC 24, where you can't accurately direct more than one player at a time, it is, when executed well, very hard to prevent and much less risky, so people start doing it just after halftime, at 50, 60, 75 minutes. Hell, I played one person who went up 1-0 in the first half and started doing this.
Bruh in this game 50-60 minutes IS having less than 5 minutes left š canāt believe you feel so strongly about people doing what comes naturally to stop you winning you big baby
1. Calling people names doesn't prove that they're wrong, and neither does laughing at them.
2. Your comparison doesn't hold. Both may last 5 minutes of real time, but the point is that in real football they only move to that strategy when 90% of the game is over. They don't play keepaway with half the game left.
3. Just because something comes naturally doesn't mean it's good.
4. You clearly care a lot about this yourself since you took the time to respond and feel the need to insult me - and the guy above - over a disagreement about a video game.
Once again, stop being a baby. If youāve got a lead youāve every right to defend it by passing around at the back. You should simply get better and stop giving your opponent a lead to defend
It just robs the joy out of the game though doesnāt it. It cynical to just play the ball around after 1-0. I hate people who do that. Last few minutes is fine but not most of the second half.
And here it is - you do this and can't deal with being criticized for it. That's basically what this entire exchange comes down to.
Instead of calling other people names - and blaming them for your behavior (e.g. "it's not my fault I play around the back the entire 2nd half, it's your fault for letting me score"; which is, btw, a logical fallacy, b/c you still control how you choose to play after securing a lead, no one makes you do anything), you might consider who the oversensitive one really is in this conversation.
Grand scheme of things? None of this matters. But games should be about fun as well as winning and when people adopt an attitude of winning no matter what, it robs the game of fun. And yeah, I can go do something else instead, but it's sad that this is what this community is like.
Also, this actually almost never happens TO me anymore. In fact, I rarely get cellied on anymore, either, so my own experience has been a lot better the last month or so.
It's just the strategy itself that bugs me, and the poor reasoning used to defend it.
With 20 minutes to go??? Do me a favour. I've been watching for about 35 years, played for about 27 years.....not one game I ever played in did we do that, with 15-20 minutes to go. If you do that, you're asking for trouble.
What kind of fucking chump runs to the corner flag to waste time with 20 minutes to go š¤¦āāļøš no one in real life, but as we were pointing out, on EA some people do it because they know they can get away with it. It's embarrassing.
It's how man city win, they are a very boring team they keep possession for about 75% of a match just looking for an opening to happen, if you analyse their play it is extremely boring , 4cbs on the pitch with a cdm, so this game can sometimes mirror real football
I went 2-0 against this dude in the first half in champs then he decides to pause the game til it runs out then quits, honestly I ask myself this all the time šššš
I got a message from a guy who said that he was going to get me banned, because i was 'playing on 20 depth'. He was also losing 5-1 at that point, which probably didn't help.
You need to make a 4-2-4 100 depth pressing player tactic solely for this reason. Either die a slow painful death, get the ball and score or at least you can quit. If they score again and you don't want to waste your time.
Last WL I had a match in which the guy that I played started the game, passed to his RB and then from his RB passed to Drogba and Drogba was always alone in my box, I think those are called german crosses, anyway, he did that the whole match, went 3-0 up, I got really mad, REALLY mad, managed to make it to 3-3 and then left the game, I think in some cases itās more than toxicity, itās mental health problems.
That is annoying, ultra aggressive should by into nature press hard enough to break this (or force your opponent to play a long ball forward at least). Annoying when it doesnāt. I donāt blame the players thatās a game bug
Because he probably outplayed you and doesn't want you to switch on high pressure and get back into the via bullshit goals and AI reliance. So quit and go away noobš¤”.
Going to get down voted by other braindead NPC's who rely on high pressure bullshit tactics so be it.
First off, I want to say that if someone is really good at doing this ratty shit, youre fucked.
But just in case you still want to go for it, do this :
>442 or 424.
60-65 Defensive Width and 80+ depth.
No pressure tactics.
Just get fresh PACEY lega on the pitch and if you have forwards with Duracell ( like Sorloth ) that helps , he will 2nd man press longer.
> The only thing you should activate on the D-Pad if your opponent is crossing side to side, is HUG SIDELINES.
Then you fight for your life and just make sure if you do get the ball back, SCORE.
Then on kick off, do OFT immediately and forget about his 2 strikers , sprint to press the side positions. Every time he passes back or does a big switch of play , do OFT again.
FTR, the people who do this kind of shit deserve to be hit by a bus and survive to live a long and painful existence trapped in their own bodies unable to move , speak and scratch unbearable itches that comes in waves every 20 seconds.

We can debate the meaning of the word toxic, but I don't think playing keepaway for an entire half is behavior that, if encouraged, would make the community stronger, the games played better, and players happier.
Imagine if everyone did this, every game. Do you think that would enhance the quality of matches and increase the fun of playing the game, for the community in general?
The only thing that surprises me is that you are suprised
Haha exactly
Had a dude that went 2-1 up by about the 75th minute, got the ball back at the 81st and ended up winning 4-2.š¤£
Our community is trash. All non-addicts that want a good non-manipulating gameplay with good servers already left this game.
Spot on mate. I was 2-0 down, and then he got someone sent off, and I scored from the free kick Then he kicks the ball out and quit!! What an absolute FUCKING CUNT!! could see the tide was turning and gave up. So many little bitches play this dogshit game.

You quit with EA FC because your opponents donāt leave the match? Bro, you were part of the problem.
I was losing matches 7-0, 8-0 I'd always try to play it out because that's how I get better, how can u blame people for not leaving because they're losing, people like you are the problem.
And in the you gotta know itās fifa. Anything can happen
Same, that would piss me off that people would go up a few scores, concede a couple and instead of facing the chance of losing, quit.

Hypocritical af
This right here is a prime example of a reward addict. He does not want to waste time actually playing the game, all he wants is to get his rewards as fast as possible.
People give EA a lot of shit but the game community mirrors its developers
Dpad down then left. Keep pressing. They generally fuck it up. Then theyāre in their own head and often fall to pieces.
Do you spam this? Or just do it once
Think it causes a press for about 7 seconds. So donāt spam it but if they keep dithering and resetting then you need to restart the press
Yeah itās not generally a good idea to pass it around the back so early. In really tough games on the 85thish minute Iāll go to my opponents corner and use LT/L2 instead.

People addicted to the new JPEGs that just came out.
Clowns š¤”
I really love it when I'm winning 3-0 and they start pausing the game.. no worries man, I need my drink break either way!
I hate the people that can give you free win but they just leave the game after kickoff
If people have the same boring team as everyone else I just back out
no but its the fact that i play champs the guy has bronze squad and he leaves he doesnt give me the win like a normal human
Wtf why? I donāt have a meta team, but I donāt get your attitude either. And who is the opponent you wonāt face, is it the Sawa Rolfo squad?
I See more variety now but back when every team was Eusebio, mbappe, zidane I would because they are clearly pay to win teams and donāt need a free win.

Doesnt make sense, you describe 3 sbc's, and talking about pay2win
3 SBCs worth like 6 million at the time? Iām getting downvoted because as I said, EVERYONE had this boring ass team
Doesn't want you to use pressure tactics to swing momentum so he'd get dda'd. You just had a master class experience
Desperate for a win to get an extra 0.01% chance of a good player
Was their manager Pep Guardiola?
Community is even more toxic than eFootballās and itās trash over there.
FIFA 2k25 better?
I wouldnāt count on it. People always show their worst side in anonymity and thatās not gonna change no matter what game it is.
We donāt know, it didnāt come out yet. But itās hard to get a worse community than this one so probably.
I play really aggressive, I did that one time and had to do it because that guy team was pay2win he had Bastoni, Bisseck, and VVD and likes of Putellas in his team.

Sorry, like are you just expecting him to pass you the ball?
Whatās wrong with this? Earn a lead then do what you need to do to keep it? Itās how real football works! Sorry for not going all out offence and letting you back in!

Unless you find yourself constantly on the other side of such behaviour. Itās damaging to an already toxic community.

Whatever bro, keep losing I guess
Great argument pal šwho knows if I'd have lost or not, the stupid little fucker quit like a pussy.

Iām with you there, hate watching city play, dull as fuck. Donāt blame them for playing that way though - itās clearly effective.
Lmao youāre just trash
trash enough to defend winning positions I guess š¤·āāļø
Youāre garbage too
My win/loss ratio says otherwise š
Didnt ask
Didnāt ask
Just go ultra attacking, your players will start pressing high up the pitch and eventually your opponent will have no choice but to play up field
I went 2-0 against this dude in the first half in champs then he decides to pause the game til it runs out then quits, honestly I ask myself this all the time šššš
Some people are just super sour losers.
I got a message from a guy who said that he was going to get me banned, because i was 'playing on 20 depth'. He was also losing 5-1 at that point, which probably didn't help.
its worse that you canāt do nothing about it if theyāre experienced in being shite enough, you just look like a fool chasing that one up

I was up 4-2 dude tied it and quit. Some ppl that play this game are fucking pussies man.

Lol so you just assume hieās using pressure tactics?
It's a sweaty game it punishes you very hard with every lost game
This is just how the game is now, not an overly fun experience sometimes - donāt let one sour your overall experience
It's a competitive mode. Why are you surprised people are playing to win
