Why the change EA?
When Fifa 20 first come out, it was honestly the best Fifa that I had played in years, so much fun, could play such slick football, passing was perfect, shooting I just had to get use to, dribbling, no DELAY lag at all. Then the first patch come out, it was still good. So I thought, wow... they're actually not going to ruin this game?!
Obviously the casual players were not buying FP because it was too hard so they stopped playing? I don't know but patch after patch it got worst. AI defending is back, block block block block, tracking my runs, people running around with their Striker or CDM because AI is defending for them. Passing is dog, it's honestly tragic. I can't play good football anymore, the delay lag is absolutely terrible.
Why don't EA ever respond to this? The game is literally in a broken state right now, honestly it just feels like 19 all over again. The last 2 patches just ruined this for me. I'm not going to be playing for a while, what's the point? I got 3 icons up top, yet Rashford and Lucas smash them in constantly, what's the point having expensive players? The SHOOTING is awful, I hit the post/bar about 3 times + in every game I play. Why did they nerf the shooting? That was the only half decent thing left about the game. Honestly, you can have a player with 99 finishing and the goalie (Ter Stegen) will save it or it will just go high and wide, impossible to score now. Tried timed finishing? I played my friend to test the shooting and had 33 shots, not one of them was timed (too late).
The delay input lag is the worst of it all. I wish they'd revert back to how it was at the beginning but if they do that, they clearly lose money, more casual players than competitive players I guess?
Oh and a side note, remove objectives from Rivals, unfair to people who do play casually with people dropping divisions for objectives.
EDIT: Please remove Drop back completely, it's just sooo boring coming up against 1 depth drop back. All 11 men behind the ball blocking every single shot and getting counter attacked for a cut back because they're sprinting down the wing with Dembele and Sissoko comes in for the cut back.

Out of interest what tactics to use to get all your defenders to be overpowering? If you can't beat them, join them and all that....
Yeah exactly mate. The start was so good, playing beautiful football, passing it around setting up great goals.
Everyone uses 4231, Drop back with depth on 1. 2 CDM's on stay back as well as the RB and LB. Fair enough for the LB and RB you need to do that, otherwise Sane will just rip through the wings. I tried these tactics, all you can do is counter attack but it's nearly impossible for them to score, especially now the shooting has been nerfed so drop back is even better for boring players now.Totally agree vjake.

Not true that you have to have them on stay back. Push up and intercept the passes. Stay back is just an excuse if you can’t defend. It’s a whole lot more fun win or lose as the wide players give you vital extra options.
Push up and intercept passes lol. Interceptions on this game are nearly impossible, no player stretches their foot out to intercept. At the start you could make plenty, not so much anymore unless they play a pass but it goes to the wrong player (which happens so much). Imagine pushing up and Rashford gets past at the halfway line and bombs it down the wing, cuts it back to Mbappe and I'm conceding. It's vital to have LB and RB on stay back.
The game is boring anyways, drop back 1 depth, passing is whack, shooting is so poor now and the delay lag has ruined the game entirely.

"fifa 19 all over again" are you new? they do this every year only they stated that the game will stay the same upon launch... wasn't even 2 months and we are on update 5. They are changing everything apart from the one thing that needed tweaking... headers.
Just created an account to vent. Fifa 19 was dog, this game feels exactly the same. 18 wasn't too bad.
Na, I'd rather keep headers how they are, I can't imagine how many people will just cross constantly and not even bother playing football. Run down the wing, cross, goal.
I've never had delay lag apart from this Fifa and since the last 2 patches it happened, have you had it from the start of Fifa or is it genuinely from the recent patches this come about?

And all those blocks... Argh.. Had 4 consecutive shots before one went in. Ridiculous. They have to rebalance it.
I lost one match 0:2. At half time I had 10:8 shots vs his 0:0 and then 2 counters and I am fried!
There is zero reward for attacking skills other than the counter.

They need to bring headers back as im sick of facing 4-1-2-1-2 on WL. The best way to counter is wing play but its pointless on this trash game..
