Sounds very familiar and a lot of us are right there with you.

There's definitely an equalizing effect in play that acts as momentum swings. Perfect release dots on the black that go down the middle or as a passed ball. I've definitely experienced pitch speeds changing as well between games and in the same game.

The game is just consistently inconsistent. Really it boils down to you vs the game and not your opponents. Each team will get meatballs that you either take advantage of or not. And usually whoever is able to take advantage of the obvious RNG elements wins.

I've had to completely change the way I play in order to keep playing. Now I look at it more as me watching a simulation that I have a few moments to affect and trying to approach it as watching a game.

It sucks because I WANT a game that plays true that I can really invest in from a competitive standpoint but sadly that isn't the case. And based off their inaction I doubt they make any significant tuning changes to gameplay so this is how it will be for the rest of the year.

If you find yourself back try looking at it that way and not as a true competitive game. Because it isn't.
