OP Defending Mechanic
#EAFC24
Defending in FC 24 has been a pain, with defenders lacking recovery speed even top defenders have been beaten easily
I've figured out how to rectify that and be able to defend consistently with this new mechanic as shown below
Let's get started:
This is gonna get bigger in the next few hours, so here's a thread why some tall non meta players seem OP(Like Haaland) and how the Architect chem style can make your tall clunky players move like that. It's all based on the new AcceleRATE mechanic EA have used
It's been a crazy week on FIFA with the discovery and implementation of the "Lengthy" meta and finding players who can utilize it. What if I told you it's not just that👀👀. I'm gonna try and explain what's changed, why, and how we can use it best in the game with this THREAD
Alright, it's time. Here's a thread answering the questions surrounding the new patch and it's effect on the LENGTHY Meta that's defined a lot of FIFA 23 until now.
So the biggest question that's being asked right now is :
"IS THE LENGTHY META DEAD?"
The answer? Yes and No
This is something I feel like is a bit of an unknown quantity to the larger player base so I wanted to just say it again
We know that in FIFA 23 GKs are mostly incompetent and inconsistent in game bar a few absolutely top GKs such as Van Der Sar, Donnarumma, Cech, Alisson, etc.

There just isn't one and that's beautiful
You need one for each position and even then it depends on how you play the game
Absolutely love this in FUT
Last time I dropped a thread like this a lot of people told me they wished I had given them a heads up 👀
Filter PlayStyles: ANTICIPATE
Don't say I didn't tell you 😁
You have as long as it takes for me to edit these clips
Here's another sneak peek 👀

It's amazing to see these cards be so good, real life football being reflected in game. Cards like Kroos who were nothing but fodder before play amazingly.
I don't care what your beef is with Rapinoe
This is just stupidity at this point
1.5X as many dislikes as a publicly exposed abuser just reeks of words I don't think this platform would let me use
So, how can we do this?
First, go to Game Settings and under Defending select "Advanced Defending"
This should allow you to use the Seal Out controls
NOTE: These are slightly different to tackles and you'll need to go through a learning curve but the result is 100% worth it
I can't talk this up enough
I'm actually enjoying the game to a little extent, no tactics are going to overcome the bugs/glitches
But this allows for some free flowing wing play football, keeps lanes open and is so easy to use, especially with the right setup
I'll do a full

@sbc_tips
I've never been so afraid of a first patch in my entire life. I guess it all depends on how brave the dev team are in sticking to their guns and doubling down on new features instead of rolling them back due to community dissatisfaction
The more I'm looking at Frenkie's card, the better it looks
Barcelona need 3 wins out of 4 for him to get +2 IF Upgrades and 2 new PlayStyles
Barca's next 3 fixtures:
Rayo Vallecano(A)
Atletico Madrid(H)
Girona (H)
Valencia(A)
I can't see Barca bottling this
The Lengthy AcceleRATE type is what allows the tall clunky guys to keep up with and explode past other players in long sprints, making them meta. So how can we make a card change it's AccelaRATE type? Firstly, let's look at the requirements for the Lengthy type
I really appreciate the reception this has received, all of you are absolute legends
Would you guys appreciate a video tutorial about this? Can definitely make one if there's demand for it

Defending in FC 24 has been a pain, with defenders lacking recovery speed even top defenders have been beaten easily
I've figured out how to rectify that and be able to defend consistently with this new mechanic as shown below
Let's get started:
When you are close to the opponent with the ball, press X | A (Pass Button) to trigger a Seal Out animation
This will cause your defender to go for the ball and retrieve it without committing to a challenge
There are new animations added for this as mentioned in the Pitch Notes
@NoContxtBing
May I suggest taking whatever revenue you do make and donate it to charities focused on helping people with addiction and mental health instead? Matthew Perry's legacy would be strengthened if we could help more people who suffered from the things he did
This is going to change the way we look at non meta players and tweak the power curve away from the pure high agility/balance and low height players. They still have advantages but now the clunky guys have an advantage of their own.
Now, this works for all players, but there are certain PlayStyles that make this incredibly OP
The PlayStyles you're looking for are the ANTICIPATE and BRUISER PlayStyles
Here is the official explanation of the Anticipate PlayStyles
A lot of content related posts today, I don't think I need to speak on it
Instead I'll give you a way to make Gameplay a little more fun

We’re excited to work together on UFL and create a fair, skill-first game for football fans worldwide 🤝
So... We have an issue here
Team 1 of Shapeshifters had 18 players on release
Team 2 had 15 players on release, 3 added in the Mini-Release
Both teams had 2 sets of Twin Icons (RvP, Hierro, Eto'o and Petit)
Team 3 is the most bizarre one of the lot
13 Players on release
I'm going to say something controversial but
Anticipate >>> Any other stat
I'd rather play with Balde and Alaba than Theo and Tomori
Might be a me thing but having that Boosted Stand Tackle is just too good
@sbc_tips
4-3-3(2). The CDM with the Deep Playmaker/drop between defender instruction essentially works like a 3rd CB/Sweeper in the buildup (Think Casemiro IRL) and the wingers cut inside/get in the box make fantastic diagonal runs with the ST being Target Man/Stay Central. Love this
@IconSquadGaming
Start Saka/Son
Bench ASM/Martinelli
Sell Kane
Yes, Kane is amazing, I use him in my squad but he is very one dimensional and unless you really play with a pure target man he needs to go
Have you wondered why Vini Jr. and Dembele feel so OP taking on defenders at the edge of the box or on the touchline? Is there a way to make other players run in a similar manner? We're diving into the other end of the AcceleRATE mechanic with the EXPLOSIVE archetype
In this thread I'll show you how to do it, which players can use it and give you many examples of this being tried out against great cards like Neymar, Debinha, Alex Morgan, and more
Here is another example of 1.7K Thiago Silva vs 150K 5*/5* Debinha

Here is an example of just how incredibly effective Bremer is doing the Physical Seal Out
Not only will he automatically lunge for the ball, he will get between the ball and the player to make sure you have the best chance of retrieving it
@sbc_tips
Don't take my word for it(yet) but it's looking like chemistry/stat boosts are infinitely less significant than before. I'm not gonna lie, though; it breaks my heart not having full chem😭😭
@Piquelme21
Clauss. I've never felt better having a balanced RB. Can use anchor coz of his high pace and from using his WW that had much lower stats than this one, he was very VERY good. I'd pick him in a back 4 over anybody else bar TOTY Hakimi

CR7's AcceleRATE type has now changed from "Controlled" to "Lengthy" after applying the Architect chemstyle giving him the same explosive runs that Haaland makes.
@AlexionFUT
Either FUT B'day Best or TOTS Rodrygo. Can't praise either of them enough
If you do go for Rodrygo, you'll need to play around with instructions to overcome his M/M workrates
3.) I read someone's player of the week was Kroos and here's why!!! King Toni is gonna be insane with this type and his 5*WF + high passing
Toni Kroos- Marksman, Anchor, Architect
@narcoinsfc
Putellas will be more meta, just can't beat the Agilty/Balance
re: Zidane, he's not the clunky, slow player he used to be in previous fifas
Easy shot is just try his loan out, hunter on him, attacking CM
If he fits your style you'll love him
If not, fodder saved 😁
2.) Robert Lewandowski - Marksman, Anchor, Architect. This one is tricky coz the Hawk chem gets STRENGTH-AGILITY to exactly 14 so I'll have to test this in game. FUTBIN says no to Hawk but worth a shot with that pace boost. His OTW just got a *lot* more interesting 👀👀👀
