@AlexionIQ Not sure if this formation is my jam but I'm just here to say that you're legit the only FC streamer I enjoy following because of your creativity and not just going with the meta. Appreciate ya! 👊

Umm, yeh we are back with the 4132😂 I am OBSESSED with this formation. The variations you can do with it is incredible. I feel like I have found the best setup that works for me, and I want to share it with you! Watch here👇 youtu.be/Ja0QyVFmDu4

@michaelpinRVA Off-season is for finding players. During the season, it's all about winning. Usually agree w your takes but not this one.

I'm gonna agree with JP. It's time to find a kicker. This is how you do it.

@WastefulBlimp Been like this for as long as I can remember- those who take the competitive side of the game seriously tend to enjoy it the least The game is not fit for competitive play. Treat it as such at your own risk

Just wanna encourage everyone to use teams that are fun for you 👊🏼 I feel like most of the complaining merchants I see on here are guys that chase meta and sweat for wins The game sucks and you won’t find enjoyment like that. I am having a blast right now! Good vibes ❤️

@minakimes From cursed to blessed

Just remembered Dan Snyder has to watch this magical Commanders season immediately *after* he sold the team and smiled the biggest smile

@Kimpembro state of the community reflects state of the game - always does, always will

Just tried a drop in game and ALL THREE of my team mayes were rubber banding EA honestly you need to sort it out, the mode is being ruined by absolute weirdos and is near on unplayable solo The state of this community

@Kimpembro Rush can be so much fun but I gotta push back on it being an incredible game mode - IMO an incredible game mode by definition is one that cannot be so easily ruined

Rush an incredible game mode, absolutely ruined by the community. Its why we dont deserve nice things

@NealGuides What’s killing me is this new system is just about the worst for making changes to our team. I love the tactical side of football but it’s such a chore in this game. It’s so poorly implemented

Is it just me but is anyone else chopping and changing tactics so much? I just haven't found that perfect combination there's just so many use cases, the pictures of this restricted positioning system, I feel like I keep changing formations. I'm still trying to find a 352 variation that I like

@div10moment Try going into controller settings and adjusting/saving settings again. Working for me

I need help with PS5 Just played a SB ultimate mode game but whenever I pressed R2 the friend invitation window pooped and the game stopped. I lost valuable 2K point Do you know how to fix this? #FC25

@adriannovell I applaud you for your enthusiasm and contributions. There's a lot of good here with 25. My only pushback is how poor and unresposive it feels. From menus to gameplay, EA FC is for some reason by far the worst game I play when it comes to the basics of interacting with the game

@Titiomfun @pkwestel True though he dealt with one of the biggest stars ever in the game - CR7 - in one of the most screwed up situations just about as perfect as you could imagine

@pkwestel Probably the main weakness is his lack of experience in dealing with star players. A manager needs to command respect and fear by the players, which might be yet to show.

There was nothing about Ten Hag's C/V that said he was guaranteed to be a success at Man Utd or even in the PL There was plenty about Ten Hag's C/V to suggest he was worth Man Utd taking a risk this new manager. Wasn't a bad hire, sometimes he's just not the guy

@pkwestel Not long ago you were writing about how managers don't make much a difference; it's all about the players. I'm not sold on ETH either but how is it you've seemed to conclude he's not the guy before we've had the chance to see how he does with better players?

@AlexionFUT Well said! We want a higher skill gap but every time they give us more of a challenge, especially with needing to build proper attack play, people complain it's too hard and here we go again arg

My advice on the best way to break down stubborn defences now that EA have nerfed the R1 dribble (RIP R1, you were the best thing in the game 😭) Many people are now not controlling their CBS and running round with their CDM. This is great, well done EA 🙄 ✅ Passing. This is the best way to counter the boring meta of sit back and hit on the counter. On and in around the box, first time, short passes are much more effective than trying to dribble / skill move your way in. A quick X follower by a double tap triangle through ball can unlock defences and get your through vs the AI. ✅ Drilled passes in and around the box. If the ball is going to get intercepted, a drilled pass could lead to the ball bouncing to another one of your players, or it could be the difference between the ball making it to your own players feet or not. Drilled passes are the way to go, especially from midfield to attack in the build up, or that killer pass to a strikers feet. ✅ Ball roll -> then shoot/pass. Ball roll is still the quickest and easiest skill move to bring into your game. Ball roll to create that better angle/opportunity that again, could be there difference between a successful pass and opportunity or one that gets stopped by the AI. 🤔 If the above fails, just trivela or finesse it from 30 yards and the ball will go in 😭😭😭 This patch is garbage and is a step towards closing the gap. We don't need dumbing down of video games...a skill gap and casuals being beaten by tryhards/players that put hours and hours into the game is how it SHOULD be.

@AlexionFUT Yes, I love the false nine tactics! This 4321 is slightly different but we're still talking a meta formation with most of the same features: defending in a 442, a conservative CM with two more attacking, one fwd goes wide, 6 in the box, meta depth and widths, direct passing...

@mfmaxpower You know me, always working on different 433(5) variations. I wouldn't call this 4321 your typical meta 4321..

🎄 Christmas Special / 4321 Tactics We decided to collaborate once again and bring you our slightly different version of the popular 4321. None of us used this formation before and we have our fresh approach to it. This is our way to thank you for your support since #eafc24 launched 🤍 🎄Merry Christmas🎄 🎅 @Alexionfut🎅@_FCPirate_ 🎅@Div10moment Please follow the notes below to get the best results: ☃️ Try new tactics for a few games before getting used to the movement of your players. Especially if you've been using certain tactics for some time. ☃️LCM/RCM can be h/h wr for best results but other workrates can work as well ☃️ Mid CM (DM) m/h wr (must) All other positions can be used with the cards you're comfortable with. We would appreciate to get your feedback and reviews Support us by dropping a follow and by retweeting #EAFC24 #FC24

@AlexionFUT @emirc I hate it too but it makes sense - EA couldn't care less about the Pro scene or whether this game provides a quality competitive experience. They only care about the bottom line and that's WAY more influenced by the bulk of the player base who are casuals rather than us

@emirc Why should people that play 1 or 2 games a day be given things to level it for those that play it more often? Makes absolutely zero sense to make this game less skilled.

The new patch is a patch for the casuals 😭 👎Defending is more forgiving - you can tackle from behind, mis-time tackles, have the Ai make auto-tackles and interceptions whilst you run around with one player... 👎AI defending in the box is stronger than ever

@Michaelfigueir3 @Hojfeldt9 Key here is this is advice for FUT Champs and the competitive side of the game, which unfortunately speaks to the fact that for those of us who just want to chill and have fun, the game is now really lacking Been playing more CM and SBs myself but neither is a great experience

@Hojfeldt9 This is a true principal which can be applied to anything in life. But this is a videogame and you are not getting paid for playing it. I just want to turn on my console and play football not sweat my heart out for a couple of 84 rated fodder 😂

Playing the game without a plan isn’t practice. Could you imagine a tennis player going to the tennis court for training without a clear plan of what kind of shots he should practice? Or a football team just playing 11v11 without any tactical instructions or a focus point before a match day? Probably not. There’s nothing wrong with just playing the game. But you rarely improve from just playing the game if you never consider your weak areas and work on a solution to fix them. I don’t get why so many people don’t understand they will get more of the same results in FUT Champs if they continue like they’ve always done. You won’t just magically get more wins in FUT Champs by playing every week. It doesn’t work like that.

@001Gaming_lover @CareerModeInsid No but there's a bug that allows you to make them permanent. It's the only thing that makes this new feature worthwhile at all IMO

@mfmaxpower @CareerModeInsid Wait a minute if you use it the player have it permanently?

The new Pre-match training which, after a successful training session, grant players on your team with extra, temporary #FC24 PlayStyles to give them extra boosts in the match is one of the features you should avoid using as it makes Career Mode less challenging & less balanced.

@AlexionFUT Funny because I was going to ask you about that - I immediately tried this after you released the 523 tactics bc I do so much better with 2 CDMs, and the 5221 version is so much fun to use! Do you still use the false 9 instructions though on your ST...?

I haven't worked out the "why" yet...but use 5221 instead of 523. Exact same instructions, exact same positions...but it feels so much better.
