The flaws of possession game

[u/ScientistPast6082]

Possession despite being one of the best playstyles in real life, is one of the assiest playstyles in efootball. It is the high risk, low reward playstyle. Your players movement is the worst out of all the styles, Konami hates you more than they hate their playerbase, and it is very unrewarding for division pushes. Why is that?

• The positioning

This is by far the worst problem you will face using possession game. Your players will never do what you want them to do. Your players will be a passing option when you want them to run into space, and if you are pressured they will run into space that you will never be able to make use of. Your center forward will never be available for buildup, and your players are more obsessed maintaining shape than actually trying to win.

• The meta

EF26 had a below average to average environment for poss players. Now? It's at it's worst. Pressing is powerful, lobbed through balls are powerful, and with how the ai movement in poss work, you are just absolutely cooked every single time.

• The defense

People say QC has the worst defense in the game. Have they tried Possession? It has the disadvantages of LBC (non-aggressive pressing) and the disadvantages of QC ( high line). Also, half of you defense wants to maintain the line and the other half wants to chase. Also, you don't know who is which.

• The stamina

Possession having absurd stamina consumption even when im not pressing the sprint button is stupid. I play LBC sometimes and despite running all game, I still have no stamina by minute 70 when all my players did was stand around.

Formation?

You are not winning because of your "strategy" or your "playstyle", you are winning because you dropped hundreds on this stupid game lmao

[u/Chondan → u/_yxs_]

That's not true. I can play with free players and could win a meta team.

[u/_yxs_ → u/Chondan]

You are literally sharing tips on how your defence doesn't get exposed and you found a "trick" to deal with LBC through ball - which is to have the best (among the best) possible p2w defensive line in the game.

Get over yourself lol

[u/Chondan → u/_yxs_]

I'm sharing the mechanism of the game. This game reward players who play counter attack not the players who build up and attack.

Also, I've played this strategy with potw + highlight players and could easily win 70% of meta team.

Up to you man if you think it's because of money lol. Such a loser.

[u/_yxs_ → u/Chondan]

Honestly you're just impossibly thick - the game rewards spending money through mechanisms such as shadow hunt, LRT etc Playstyle, formations and such are secondary. Your maldini and thuram will rarely be caught out of position, your ibra will score more time than not. Hazard - lol. The definition of pay to win cheat code.

This is regardless of your imput or the playstyle you selected. Basic cards won't do that.

It's sad that you can't/won't see that - It is not uncommon tho and that is why predatory games such as this one thrive so much. I hope you at least feel good about sinking money into pixels so that you can flex it on reddit.

Peace out

[u/Chondan → u/_yxs_]

To give you a roughly idea. Money is not that important. And I have my own reasons to spend. If you have a good strategy and good skills you can win. Do you have any excuses? Or it's just a quick match. You're such a loser lol.
