Been waiting for your next upload , seems like forever, your the only KZbinr i genuinely am able to connect with and learn from , appreciate your vids keep them up and never change the voice , I swear it makes me lock in to understanding so much more , idk why lol. Been watching and practicing from your past couple vids and honestly you changed the way I play this game, finally having fun and not losing ever god damn game salute to you sir🫡

Simple answer is inconsistent game play one moment you can string a few passes next moment your striker takes 10 sec to shoot the flipping ball

[@leegooding4155]

This is the comment I was hoping to see as I honestly thought it was me! I win a game in Div 5 then every pass for the next 3 games fall short other get intercepted, log off for a few hours. Log on then repeat! I can't believe at this point this is random or unintentionally!!

This is by far the best EAFC content creator, the only one we really teaches what will make you a better player. I started watching for a few days now, and my game play is all of a sudden better and improved. Just pay a good attention to all the basic things he says.🙏🙏🙏👌👌👌👏👏

[@prezz9441]

Division rivals this year is the most difficult fifa game mode ever. Every pro , content creator player has additional 2 rtg accounts so you face them very often. Then we have relegation system which doesnt help. At the top of that many casual players dont play this game anymore. This is why every game in div 2 and above is like fighting for your life 😂

[@kingkanyon]

Div 4 was insane, got to div 3 won my last 4 but it just so insane got to be hella defensive and hope to get a lil lucky bounce to score

[@prezz9441]

@kingkanyon defensive shape is the most important thing this year. So many people just pass around only to move your defender out of position and exploit it after. When you play against someone defensively competent it's nearly impossible to score a goal without abusing meta things like 20m finesse shot, first time lobbed through pass or speed boost (not that effective since every defender can catch you).

[@flacko92]

pro tip: dont play rivals on wednesday, play on friday or the start of the week, games are much easier

[@tomt8468]

​@@kingkanyonI am Division 4 And Its redicoulous. Everybody play realy good. Sometimes Somebody Is pushed by AI tx pay to win. But quality of a players Is realy high.

[@dredzysaint]

Its not bad though, that casuals have left lol. I mean, I feel like I'm a casual myself but I hustled to get to div 4 lool. I like how people aren't complaining about the game and understanding that it's still just a game and it'll never be perfect + it's just about how good you are. People don't realise they complain because they lose. The game has issues but its also got a lot more realistic and there's less support from AI. The differences in speed are also more realistic (kind of) because in real life, fast players are actually marginally faster than defenders... Defenders always have a chance to catchup due to fatigue, composure of attacker, pulling back etc...

[@jordyballfc1195]

Just got out of div1 into elite and what i will say is if you reach div 2/div1 youre already very good at the game and have the basic understanding of the fundamentals. But you have to make your team better in order to compete. You cant expect yourself to beat good players with smolorek at top.. you could be doing everything right but the players you have aint good enough to execute. Thats why youre mad when you have 16 shots and still lose. It comes down to fine margins. and the quality of your players. Stay focused mentally too and dont lose your head. The further you go, the more mental it becomes. Another thing i notice is stop changing formations after losing. Find a system that works and stick with it. Thanks for the video.. im already noticing the step up in quality in elite

First of all need meta players like mbappe and Vini also meta midfielders also look up inceptions custom 4213 custom tactics the most recent one and I have tried them they are very very good and learn to just keep the ball even passing it around the back and use r1 pass in certain situations also don’t rage even 3 goals down u can still come back hope this can help

Really good video i stuck this year already in div 6 and lose just every game dont know what happen i will watch more here to get better before i quit 😂😂

[@dredzysaint]

You just need to have patience and composure. It's easier said than done lol... Try this, go and learn any skill move on the training pitch.. Then attempt to execute that skill move in front of goal. You'll notice how difficult it is to remember to do that while the pressure is high.. Once you execute that move, you'd have gained enough composure to move up. Also, play around with both r2 and l2 slow speed dribbling for turning left, you have to actually use all of the dribbling controls in a timed fashion breaking the defenders rhythm, compared to running in straight lines.. If it gets tough, add in randomness without losing the ball. Good luck 👊🏾

I usually get to the final checkpoint in Div 5 WITHIN A WEEK of a new season. Then i just stay there till the final days of the season. It's the same pattern every year. It's made me become more of a menu grinder because i feel like i cannot get better. Even with a team of thunderstruck saka, ts rashford, ww xavi, and ts matthaus. Every time i get to the promotion game i play someone who feels levels above for DIV 5. I also jave trouble qualifying for champs. only one since launch. I really don't understand why. And it's the same pattern all the time

I live in a place where i dont have dedicated internet for me. The same internet is used by 15 others and most of them have multiple devices. I am currently on div 4. Every action takes about a second extra. I get extra touches when i shouldn't and passes arent accurate. Even tho my ping is between 45-55. Is this holding me back or I'm just bad?😂

[@GigaChad-yx6kg]

it often feels like the game is just against one, for example im very consistent at getting close range green time finishes with my 95 R9 (you would expect a goal) but instead it goes completly past the goal or his gold keepers make the best saves whilst the enemy just spams powershots from 20 meters and the ball basically goes through my keeper (who seems to avoid the ball) theres always been the theory of "Fifa script" but last year and this year its way too obvious

This year, every game is like a gacha. Either your players play normal, or they play shit. There is no casual player in this game, only hardcore. This has to be the most unfinished game i have ever seen in fifa Franchise. The wl and rivals from div3+ are just like playing squad battles at ultimate difficulty because there is almost no skill gap in the game because ai defending is their to-do things that are normally nowhere to be seen. I'm btw div1 player, and I usually get 11 or 12 games in wl. I do think for me this is going to be the last fifa. It's sad, but we all have to move on one-day
