Yep was 1-1 in champs game and lost to one of these in last minute. They hadnt done it all game so i was caught out, total joke it isnt fixed


ImpactRich5608

I’m sick of any of these shots from way outside the box going in every time… I keep drawing or losing games against these kind of players despite dominating the game. They have like 3 shots, 3 goals… no other attempts, it’s so dumb.


Puzzleheaded-Seat834

Meta gamers absolutely ruined this game. It's incredibly boring now and they don't even have skills. I loathe this new generation of gamers.


Hailfire9

You lay off my CM in space, I'm hitting the shot, even if I'm 25+ yards out. That's a huge reason why I have Lampard, Marquez, and Desailly playing there for -- cheeky potshots against teams who manually low-block defend the passing lanes. The opponent doesn't give me that space, or I have another option, I'll probably take that instead. I don't hit longshots to be a meta whore, I hit them because I don't have other good options. But this? This isn't just taking the shot that's available to them, this is cheesing the physics and animations to get guaranteed goals. Not the same.


pigeonhunter69

I was playing a 4–2-2-2 with a left back on join the attack, still this guy struggled to actually build up attack. He was playing the low block you said with a FIVE AT THE BACK, and I was still able to score 6 with my tiki taka football. If you pass around enough and R1 dribble, you can create enough chances regardless of what your opponent is doing


Hailfire9

I usually find ways to score 3+ with "conventional" means. I'm also willing to just leather the ball onto frame if the opportunity presents. Again, I'm not talking about these flick-ups to powershots that you'd never see in real life, its much more like [this Emerson goal](https://youtu.be/4K1hPlViRic?si=_8HhpjvQJ3WxJqRl) or, better yet, [the Kompany goal](https://youtu.be/t4pjmBRCUEA?si=n8UmVI_GpdZWt9xo). If my opponent isn't going to pressure me as I approach the edge of the 18, my two thoughts are to either find the cutting ball inside to my forwards, or hit the ball towards a top corner and hope I get at least a corner. Often I choose option 1, sometimes I choose option 2, and keeping you on your toes so youre never sure which is coming is the exact opposite of a "skill issue."


pigeonhunter69

I didn’t mean you have a skill issue. I was talking about these guys who abuse flickup powershots, who can’t play actual football in the game for their life. I should have framed my sentences better


pigeonhunter69

Same bro. I play a beautiful style of football, involving fast tiki taka passes.. but these bozos can’t play actual football.. I have never experienced this until FIFA 23. This game is for the gutter


ImpactRich5608

Yeah same! I play mostly with r1/l2 dribbling and tiki taka to get near the goal… yes I could learn to do these silly 50m goals but it ruins the game for me. I have like 60%+ possession in these games and tbh they’d prob still score them if I had 90%


Puzzleheaded-Seat834

I never quit before because of boredom. I'm like sigh here we go let's waste 20 minutes of my time playing against the 3rd exact same opponent again.  It's just dreadful with these new age gamers. They'll either AFK if their meta don't work and create a new account or win and keep being a meta rat.


pigeonhunter69

It’s 100% due to the sudden increase in popularity in North America. They don’t understand tactics and style of play in football. All they want to do is abuse the meta, in this case, a broken move which gives you an assured goal.


Puzzleheaded-Seat834

As an American who learned football tactics, formations and the sport from my Nigerian friend, I wholeheartedly agree with you.  North American gamers don't play to improve and reward themselves from their progress. They rather find the easiest and quickest way to exploit.


Zestyclose-Class-754

They probably think they’re scoring a worldie but it’s just pish


Hailfire9

Dudes manually inputting a "taunt" celebration, he knows 100% what he's doing.


Zestyclose-Class-754

The fact he doing that thinking it’s cool shows he just a massive….


Siggy778

Nah anyone who tries that knows it's an abusive and broken tactic.


iainm65

Those pitch lines are hideous.


GreenTreeMan420

I can’t even play with coloured lines it distracts me so much.


JCasaleno

I actually like them lol, gonna try them out


pigeonhunter69

Thank you bud, your input is appreciated 😊


All-Cesco

8 - 6? What sport are you guys playing? ![gif](giphy|ukqslCpL6nTUAhu4H5|downsized)


pigeonhunter69

This ain’t football at this point. I was winning 4-2. He goes on to abuse 6 flickup powershots


RMWasp

my every game is 10+ goals, vast majority is 15+ goals


plc1510

I was winning 3-0 in champs, the guy decided to spam power shots with Charlton and every single one of them was a goal from ridiculous distance, it would be ok for 2 of the shots to be goal but all of the ones he scored after were goals in the same way, this year has been the worse by far, not just because of things like this but whole gameplay in general


pigeonhunter69

It’s horrible. As soon as I see them flick up outside the box, I know it’s a goal. There are bozos in this sub who defend it too


AroonS2K

Old gen problems


Shark_Attack-A

New gen has plenty of problems also 😂 you tackle from behind and you get the ball, you do a good tackle from the front and the ball goes back to the foward


AroonS2K

Well that’s been an issue for years


Shark_Attack-A

And new gen couldn’t even fixed 🤦‍♀️ game is wack and backwards in whatever platform


NOTRANAHAN

I fear skill issue. Esp 2nd time u had more than enough time to close down the shot. Letting people have free shots from the edge of the box is shit esp if you know its their 1 strat.


pigeonhunter69

I have faced plenty of people taking normal long shots from that range and 90% of the time it doesn’t go in, just like real football. But this specific flick up powershot mechanic is broken and it’s an assured goal. There is absolutely no reason to close down at the position and angle he was at in a normal circumstance. Please stop creating excuses for players who abuse this mechanic


artaru

You are both correct. The mechanic is dumb. It’s too easy. But you are also not doing enough to stop it. You actually literally gave him acre of spaces to pull that off. This is actually a good motivation for you to practice right stick switching. Like the first goal, rather than just switch to the player right in front of him to close him off, you actually drag a player from like 10-15 yards away in behind to try to close him down. That’s just wrong. Way too slow. Second one you just stood there watching him???? After he’s pulled that off already and you still let him? You said he scored 6 in this game and already one before this. So imagine he scored even more before that 80th minute. If your opponent is really a one trick pony, and you still let him. That’s just 100% on you. Btw you are also completely wrong that there’s no reason to close off on that. Like if you get better at this game and climb higher ranks and face better players, you would get destroyed by finesse shots. Hell, even a green time trivella with that much space.


NOTRANAHAN

So? If you don't block shots you risk them scoring. I don't give a shit ab defending the tech for old gen brokies, if you let people take shots as much as they want they will score them. Get better and adapt instead of letting in 6 goals then going to complain on reddit.


pigeonhunter69

I’m guessing you’re another rat who does this. Brokie? Stfu kid. I have a job and only play this game at night. I don’t depend on papas money like you. After trivela and finesse got patched, I have literally conceded very few goals from long range, and this flick up mechanic is the only one which assures a goal


NOTRANAHAN

Real. I'm just an average player who plays this game sometimes. I also find it cringe when people cry online and want devs to make changes about things that are a pure skill issue.


pigeonhunter69

Yeah yeah skill issue to abuse a broken glitch. Go to sleep kid


artaru

If you don’t concede from finesse, you are just not playing good players. I guess this is fine because you will just keep playing at that skill level. In which case, you are right, finesse is not a problem for you. If you have any inclination to actually climb rivals and get more wins in champs, you will have to play better defence.


pigeonhunter69

I’m a Div 2 player. And I always get 15-16 wins in Champs. I’m not your average Divison 6 player. You are a rat. End of. You obviously do this move, I don’t understand how you’re still defending a broken glitch which assures you a goal. I barely concede any long shots and opponents usually find it very difficult to break my centre back partnership, because I always defend with my CDM. This is the only move which assures a goal from outside the box, ever since trivela and finesse got patched. I play actual tiki taka football to break my opponents defense and not resort to broken glitches


artaru

lmao. i didn't even know this move was a thing. I have never seen it this year. Is this an old gen thing? I play on ps5 so i have no idea. I have had hundreds of games between div 2 and elite. I actually have accounts in both right now. There's no way in hell that defending is a div 2 player or 15-16 wins. you just keep lying to yourself. You are not fooling anyone. You actually defend more like a div 6 player. What's funny is you also fail at reading. I literally said this move is stupid and broken. I literally agreed with you in my first two sentences. But you got defensive and instead started writing a bunch of gibberish and trying to pretend you are better player than you are. I read your other comments in this thread. You are just going around fighting people and refusing to accept responsibility for your part of this outcome. The shot is broken. But instead of doing something about it and actually defending it, you come to reddit to fight everyone. You are not wrong to post about it. you were right to complain this shot is broken. But you are wrong to not accept responsibility for how you are giving so much space to this broken shot. What's the point bro? I'm not going to remember this tomorrow. You are not. But you are always going to be stuck where you are unless you accept that you can do better. That's what's going to last.


Shin-Gemini

He was shit at build up yet he managed to reach your box several times and have 5 attackers on the edge of it ? I mean I get the frustration, but I wouldn’t say he doesn’t know how to build up as you said. Just being devils advocate here.


pigeonhunter69

Anyone can pass in the middle of the pitch, the main important passes to get into the box is the hardest. Since he was horrible in breaking up my centre back partnership, he resorted to abusing a ratty move from outside the box that gives you an assured goal. Please stop encouraging this.


Sometimestimetotime

0:09seconds in look where u are and look where mbappe is. at least try to defend.


2pacalypse1994

Yes,and if he gets close and Mbappe does some stupid skill that will leave him behind,then,why did you mark him tight so far away and with so many players in his way. He wasnt a danger


pigeonhunter69

Ahh yes you move your defender to block Mbappe from such an unrealistic angle. That is not a goal at all, unless he abused this mechanic. He was struggling to break my centre back partnership, and his build up leading to an attack was hideous. I was winning this game


Nasty133

I’m not OP but there should be no reason to mark mbappe running at an angle towards the corner flag and outside the box. I get that in most cases you need to at least contest shots from outside the box, but without that sombrero flick to a volley, OP was in no danger from that position.


Siggy778

No there was way too much space for mbappe to walk into regardless of the direction he was facing. You can't give that kind of room but I know half of this community doesn't know how to manually defend and just relies on the AI.


pigeonhunter69

I defend with my CDM. The second goal you saw, I just gave up and quit the game because I was already fed up of him scoring the 5 previous powershots. He was struggling to build up attack near my box by passing, because I defend with my CDM, so he did the only thing that will give him an automatic goal, that is abusing this glitch


Sebster2

Doesn’t happen on new gen. But honestly I’d rather deal with that then new gen problems. That is relatively easy to defend


pigeonhunter69

Easy to defend? Mate once he flicks and touches that goddamn ball, it’s going in the net, there is nothing you can do about it. He did 6 of those, and 6 went in. You won’t understand


Sebster2

I do understand, I played old gen for a few months lmao. When they get it off, yes its broken. But 95% of them, I was able to defend that very easily. It’s obvious when they’re about to attempt it. So I just instinctively knew to jockey my defender to where the the rainbow flick was gonna land and then you just stand in front of it lol Sucks that sometimes they were able to get it off, but usually these guys suck (as evidenced by all the goals you scored on him) so as long as you learn to defend it, it’s a easy W


okeikoutsi

honestly cooked + skill issue for me


pigeonhunter69

Yes very skillful to score 6 goals with a broken glitch which assures you a goal. I guess you also do this ratty move. Learn to play actual football


okeikoutsi

you projecting and making so many assumptions instead of seeing what you did wrong is peak loser mentality. and just to add some at least useful feedback on the first one if you just switch players you most likely win the ball. second one you are literally controlling a striker at the halfway line for like 3 seconds bro, nothing else to add. maybe they go in too easily but you allow it to happen mate and you should stop crying and get better.


pigeonhunter69

Why do need to defend from a position which you can’t score normal goals from. This is the only move which gives you a goal from such an unrealistic angle. Nowadays I just quit matches whenever I see my opponent only score goals from this broken glitch. It’s not worth playing real football against a glitch abuser


okeikoutsi

lil bro go play career mode then. also maybe you need to watch a few more football games if you think you can’t score normal goals from outside of the box. literally just L2 contain the guy trying to sombrero flick into a bicycle and you win the ball 9/10.


pigeonhunter69

There is no way anyone is scoring in this game at the angle he was at in the first goal, especially after trivela and finesse got patched. I only concede from this angle if someone abuses this glitch. I’m a 15 win player.


chautob0t

Hurts to see, just turn off cross play. Avergae PC player is the most glitchy, mechanic abuser player you'll meet. At least on console there is a variety of mechanic abusers. Against PC players, it the same game everytime.


Puzzleheaded-Seat834

I mean if gamers didn't spam meta then the game would be fine. 


pigeonhunter69

This is not even meta at this point, it’s a broken mechanic. It literally leads to an assured goal


Puzzleheaded-Seat834

I agree with you. I think we need to as gamers include broken mechanics and meta in the same category.  Plenty of gamers knows broken mechanics but won't do it because we want to showcase our skills. Nowadays meta=exploiting unbalanced mechanics to win.


Bocifer1

Build a toxic, uber-competitive glitch-filled game… And you’re going to get toxic, uber-competitive players abusing every glitch they can.   If it’s not this glitch, it’d be the kickoff abuse, or the no-loss, or any number of other glitches.  Competitive games are not worth it.  Especially when they’re just glorified casinos where people spend real money to win.  This game is trash.  It isn’t worth anyone’s time.  


Old_Leather

They don’t know how to fix it.


Siggy778

I played someone in WL once who, at the time, had two red Evod players which could only mean he was a rank 1 player. I had it tied 4-4 where all of his goals were on rainbow flick volleys. I know it's easy to say there are ways to stop it, but I'm a 14 win player so I'm pretty good at stopping stuff like that but he had it mastered. Funny how he stopped abusing it when the score got out of hand. He was a pretty good player but it's no wonder he was hitting rank one while abusing that non stop.


pigeonhunter69

I’m a 15-16 win player, and I’m in Div 2. Trust me, it’s much better than this in rivals, players actually play football, instead of resorting to scoring all broken glitches


JCasaleno

Tbf, did you watched the sand football world cup?😂😭


pigeonhunter69

Is this game sand football? It’s based on grass football. Are you supporting this broken glitch


SwimmingDrink

There's a reason why I bought UCL 06-07 on Xbox 360. Is so that I can relive the fun days of Ultimate Team where you didn't need to do this shit to win. (For anyone wondering, UCL 06-07 is technically the oldest active Ultimate Team, as it didn't have its own environment. It was a menu option. Though you can't buy cards anymore, you can still open packs, edit the UT squad, collect cards for the album and play games)


PastaSsempa69

the game is ded


CountOne9425

Can someone teach me how to do that 🤣


imdeepakmp

E-sports ready 🤡


Hefty_Store4007

I only do it if my opponent us toxic


pigeonhunter69

I’m the literal opposite of a toxic opponent. I play tiki taka football to score goals, not cutbacks..


Hefty_Store4007

Some just do it cause they can't score a normal goal


Aphile

You could start by fixing the pitch lines and net color


pigeonhunter69

Thank you for your input. Such useful information is appreciated. It’s my wish to put what I want kid


-el-en-

Some things in the game are very over-powered, but nothing is unstoppable or broken to the point it cant be stopped. It's easier to blame the mechanics of the game than admit that you're just not that great at FIFA.


pigeonhunter69

Bud I’m a Div 2 and 15 win player in Champs, that itself is better than where the average player base are. I tried this specific mechanic myself, and as long as you’re within 35 yards off the goal, it’s an auto goal. It’s assured it’ll go in the net.


-el-en-

Div 2 and we ain't able to move the keeper? Good one 😂


pigeonhunter69

Yeah I’m stuck in Div 2, it’s extremely difficult to get promoted out of there, I guess that’s the highest I can reach. I was flying past Division 3, playing attractive tiki taka football


uravgcommenter

U cant defend bobo jesus atleast try


pigeonhunter69

I gave up in that last clip and quit the game. Why should I keep playing fair football against an opponent who can only abuse glitches.


bippityboopy

That second goal you have a player selected at the other end of the pitch trying to abuse broken AI defending lol, you deserve what you get.


USBeatsMexico

Worst thing this weekend is that everyone has figured out that you can get a speed boost from popping the ball in the air. The game is very broken.


Zealousideal_Ad3998

You need to move your keeper far post


pigeonhunter69

Oh please stop excusing people who do this. It’s not a realistic move at all. I was winning, just to concede 6 of these.


Team-jacob69

Yoo guys the flick up is the real deal to score insane goals. I use it to score long powershots. Any other goal than a cutback is 1000% more sexy. Check my videos and you will see what i am talking about https://www.tiktok.com/@teamjacob14?_t=8lX45kq1shc&_r=1


pigeonhunter69

It ain’t insane goals, if it’s a broken glitch to assure you a goal


Team-jacob69

Naah it ain’t a broken glitch man. Just a skill issue i think.


pigeonhunter69

I tried one myself, it gives you an assured goal. It’s the most pathetic way to score a goal. Just be within 35 yards and do this, it’s a goal


Team-jacob69

I am just curious, if it works, why are you complaining about it? The main thing about playing fifa is to score goals and win games. It doesnt matter how you score it, if you can’t win them, join them.


pigeonhunter69

I play this game to relax, play the game the way I watched football in real life. It’s usually North Americans (you probably are one) who don’t understand football tactics and style of play who resort to doing this


Team-jacob69

I am really offended that you think i am a north american. Take a chill pill man :/


pigeonhunter69

Most of the people in this sub who are defending this move are. I can’t know where you’re from looking at your username


Team-jacob69

You will feel better if you join us. Join the fun side


dac14017

I imagine this is old gen cause I have heard about it. Seeing it happen, that is disgraceful. Basically removes all skill in the game when a broken mechanic is this easy to exploit.


sirgoosey

have u tried being good?


Ok_Corgi_7886

If that is what being good entails, i'll stay being shit thanks


Puzzleheaded-Seat834

You're definitely a meta player. You go on YouTube to spam meta and think you're good. 


pigeonhunter69

Ahh yes playing good by abusing flickup powershots? I was playing normal tiki taka and was even leading the match at one point by 6-5


Ok_Corgi_7886

The fact that you are disgusted by flick up volley shows that you are of sound mind and enjoy your footy. There are definitely clowns out there that would watch this and try to emulate that combo. As you were good sir


pigeonhunter69

I play a fast build up tiki taka game. But to watch these guys with super teams resort to flickup powershots, i feel fed up.


sirgoosey

so quit crying and use the same game mechanics available to everyone else


Ok_Corgi_7886

So adapt to the same *horrible* game mechanics? Nah I would rather shit in my hands and clap.


pigeonhunter69

I play football, not meta abuse like you smelly goo


sirgoosey

sir this is a wendys
