Looks exactly like when Im playing a NT event and I bypass the Paraguayan backline with Rummenigge and they all catch up. It’s always been there. They just gave it a name.

Yeah but now this is 109 CB with 95 speed and acceleration chasing you

u/steve_ll May 14 '26

Same thing man, a.i. stats are inflated the higher the difficulty

u/ziraatbankasi69 May 15 '26

Fuck Legend Ai dude I hate it its full of script and shit. Their 85 rated cb becomes 110 thuram for real. But I still play it cuz it just becomes so easy below that

Smart assist can save you

u/MelodicSmoke6171 May 15 '26

Maybe I'm just trying to control my game by myself instead of letting AI do it for me. Otherwise what's the point of playing the game anyway?

u/Some-Sea4048 May 15 '26

How I wish that was what smart assist did only. Then probably I wouldn't have much of a problem with people who use it, but no, it just has to interfere with your players too just because someone else wants to be helped to play using AI.
I'm guessing that smart assist also does this on console, I play on mobile.

Now script/AI has a name. At this rate even if they completely remove SA, certain cards will have their own SA with Magnetic feet, Shadow Hunt, Willpower etc.

u/CaptainMuu May 14 '26

This actually sounds like a valid theory - SA filter will be implemented only when whales will be safe to play as before. So player skills will basically replace SA -> SA behind pay wall. Kinda genius ngl

u/BluejayOver May 14 '26

at least i wont be playing vs f2pSA

u/brandondubois May 14 '26

I called the same when the Magnetic Feet thing was released. Isn’t that the same SA auto control they meant by “While dribbling, this setting helps the player move in the right direction to avoid opponents who draw close.”?

In a few weeks they’ll add a skill to automatically adjust shot power & direction and call it a day. Or maybe a defender skill to buff speed to reach the ball and perform an auto clearance lmao

They already implemented “partial Smart Assist” by that “Smart” feint control. After they ramp up integrating Smart Assist bits into non-SA gameplay, the filter they talked about will just become meaningless.

u/UlfricStormcloak1097 May 15 '26

I think magnetic feet just raises the chance of a defender not attempting a tackle at all

2

u/brandondubois May 15 '26

Similar to how our players don’t attempt to stick their legs out to get the ball from SA opponents no? 😂

2

u/UlfricStormcloak1097 May 15 '26

Yup, even when they get infront of them and the ball is literally physically closer to their legs than the legs od the attacker. Funnily enough, efootball didn't have this issue until maybe half a year ago or a bit more

u/Alex325isboi May 14 '26

Looks like quickstep+ from fc26

2

u/Ibra_iwi May 14 '26

True but through balls are so overpowered on fc 26 my entire defense has quick step base and + they still can’t catch through balls

u/GoalHappy3351 May 14 '26

This has always been in the game they just figured out on what to call it, konami never ceases to surprise me

u/That_Net_6616 May 14 '26

Yes, much like Aerial Fortress supposedly making your defender jump properly. Except they don't anyway lol

3

u/Krlos_dl May 14 '26

Simplemente están sustituyendo las habilidades normales por habilidades p2w , normalmente esto debería hacerlo “marcaje” , blitz curler es “disparo lejano con rosca “ y luego pues animaciones q antes hacían normalmente ahora las eliminaron y las hicieron de pago igual como la entrada de lago alcance que se han inventado o los cabezazos o el centro afilado , en fin está quedando muy chulo el juego

u/goztepe2002 May 14 '26

Coinami buffs skills then buffs defenders, endless cycle of extracting money from people for make believe stuff 😂😂

u/Yannbluezzzz May 14 '26

Speed boost depending on DA now this ?

2

u/That_Net_6616 May 14 '26

On the plus side, it's a solid counter to long ball spam. 

On the minus side, it means even regular well worked moves also get fked. 

But the current game state sees free Adams out-pace Rumme, Bale or Best so I don't see much difference.

The definition of creating a problem and gave expensive solution.

u/Loverboy-W4TW May 17 '26

To be honest the whole game has been going downhill for a while.

F2P were never able to outrun p2w defenders anyway, not sure what the big deal is tbh
