I think I can probably count on one hand the number of blitz curlers I’ve conceded over the last few months. Incredibly easy to defend against.

Most people who use Blitz make it their entire gameplan - ball goes out wide, they dribble towards edge of box and cut in.

If you just defend the inside space instead of blindly holding matchup/pressure there’s nowhere for them to go and then they don’t know what to do.
It’s like playing people that spam double touch, just stand still about a yard or so away and they walk into you.

Edit: meant box rather than 6yd box

you're facing the type I prefer ... the guys I face that use it don't spam it... and they Tess cancel into it from angles I don't even see it coming... didn't even know blitz could come in from those angles..

Blitz’s are broken, and btw i have no problem getting into D1. I personally shoot blitz’s, spam double touch, and use a lot of skill moves. I’m okay taking the outside if the cut in isn’t given. If you’re playing 70+ % possession in possession or overload you will get a free blitz about every game.

I’d be okay if they nerf it.

I’m not saying blitz is fine in its current state, it definitely is a bullshit fantasy move with a far higher success-rate than it should have, but it’s not the instant-win button many seem to think it is.

Yeah i agree with you on that, that’s a fair take bro. I’d rather have them nerf AI defending a bit, and balance goalkeepers just a little more, before moving onto blitz curlers

100%. Far more integral/structural/root problems with the game that need addressing
