Re: EA SPORTS FC25 OS Community Sliders

PS5... Legendary... Fuma... Serie B... 30 minute games... 35/50... Latest beta set.

Bit of a long one here:

These feel really good to play, but with a caveat.

The game this year, probably because of the new tactics, feels very lifeless when using lower quality teams, especially if your opponent is using a low block.

I played a couple of games on my career mode (Spezia in Serie B) and the game since a couple of patches ago has seen the CPU just refuse to defend. They won't engage, even with increased aggression slider. Whether I want to pass it around, or just run straight at them, they will just step aside and allow me to do as I please the majority of the time.

I tried to negate this by lowering my pass speed and increasing my error rates... But it can only help so much.

The CPU in attack is fine... They're lively and look good. They're just effectively Kylian Mbappe. Good in attack, can't be bothered to defend.

I quit and used Spezia against another Serie B team in exhibition mode to see if was the same, and it is.... Then I played against Liverpool as a test, and it was completely different... They were closing the spaces, closing me down, making tackles, committing fouls... They absolutely battered me too.

Then I tried against Venezia - a low block team but better than my usual Serie B opponents and they result was a team which still sat deep but at least attempted to defend when needed. Not as much as Liverpool, but better, which makes sense.

So my conclusion is, these sliders (and just the game in general) is great when playing against good level teams.. But there is an enormous drop-off when the level drops slightly, to the point where they just refuse to defend... I tried bumping their Acc to 52 in the hope it would engage them sooner, but it's just that they don't even try.

I think I likely notice it more than others based on the fact I am the only person, seemingly, that plays 30 minute matches. If you play shorter matches, there will less time to notice their horrid defending.

One thing to note also - for some reason, when I started an exhibition match, my controls completely reset to assisted. So something to look out for.

Final note - I've always been a big fan of lower fullback positioning and forward runs as that really helps slow the game down (especially important on 30 minutes) so I'm loving that these can be low.

I have a Serie B CM using Bari, haven't won yet since switching to 35/50 user vs 35/55 CPU. There are a lot of 3 and 5 back formations of course, but also multiple low block teams.

I also like 35/50 vs 40/50, but something about keeping it at 35 seems to make the all the players a bit more solid feeling rather than a bit loose, if that makes sense.

Not saying it's the answer, but acceleration threshold may end up being 55 rather than 52. Regardless, a discrepancy would definitely be needed against these low block teams.

I'm trying to sort out the harder WC/Leg set, so finding these thresholds is important.

Re: EA SPORTS FC25 OS Community Sliders

On xbox this beta feels like a totally new game, CPU is much more competitive on both ends. Nice work. Playing WC fuse in bundesliga 2, 40/52, custom 50s. I like the sprint/acc parity gameplay too.

Re: EA SPORTS FC25 OS Community Sliders

Raised marking to 60 and RF to 20. I'm using Falkens AI and 52 accell for CPU. Low block is still not perfect, but it's better. I would push 53 accell. I really like build up of 55 if anyone uses AI sliders.

Re: EA SPORTS FC25 OS Community Sliders

Here are some matches with the beta 6 version, which seems very good to me. I played WC 10 minutes, with Sprint/Acc 35/52 and 40/52. The 40/52 variant offers a higher level of challenge, even if the pace is slightly faster. For me, Sprint/Acc 40/52 is the one I prefer, especially with the TV camera, to have a higher number of fouls and a more complex gameplay.

Re: EA SPORTS FC25 OS Community Sliders

I recommend to try speed 32 and acc 52, fast players like Mbappe and Vinicius Junior still stand out. Well, i didn't expect that run frequency 1 will work but it is best experience since game release.

Just started watching the first one, and it's good to see the same things through my various games. Really important here is the defensive position of those 3 central midfielders. On higher marking, they would overrun eachother and it would open up space, even if slight, allowing for easy passing from outside - back to inside. You can also see the 1v1 is advanced to face the FB rather than the central midfielder.

Very happy to be of service to the cause. The TV camera was a great discovery (height 20, zoom 0, focus in distance 0). I will post more matches. Thanks…

This is my fatal flaw with the game this year. I have zero interest in playing with 4-5 star teams exclusively. Lower division teams need to have their tactics edited, because deep defending is completely broken and actually works counter to the point of that strategy. Sliders are never going to fix that, and we're definitely not going to be able to have a one size fits all slider set that works.

I agree that sliders can only do so much. The low-block teams are what I test the most though.

As I mentioned on the previous page, I have a Serie B CM with AS Bari and have yet to win a game. I also have a CM with Exeter City and am sitting not so pretty in 15th through 10 matches.

I think there is more of an importance to set up a discrepancy when playing weaker teams, whether that be Sprint or Acc, or both. Currently, I am testing 35/55 for the CPU, and as the user I'm at 35/50 - makes for some pretty tough matches. Also trying 35/50 user vs 40/50 for CPU.

I definitely think the CPU needs an acceleration advantage on WC. Can't speak on Legendary, but I suspect 5 star teams would be a hot mess to play against when given that advantage.

It wasn't too bad tbh. First time playing in PL as well for me as I usually play lower league:

WC, 10 mins, Sprint 35/50 (User) 35/55 (CPU) - Custom 50's
<iframe width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/orERkQ0ykgg?si=9XGwVuyJDYfFwWPc" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Also played Legendary for the away match to [beloved] Fulham:

Leg, 10 mins, Sprint 35/50 (User and CPU), tested shot error 72/72, forgot to change Leg marking to 50/50 - Custom 50's

<iframe width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Dy3z2hSyM-s?si=ciAPWHq2xDkcmvm2" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Overall, no complaints from me. I like how the CPU changes the pace despite it being on custom 50's. A lot of variety from their passing. Just variety in general with how the ball moves and reacts. I like how the central midfielders keep the shape and it forces the both User and CPU to make alternate decisions than just pass forward-forward constantly. I enjoy seeing the CPU not be able to use the driven pass forward as well, and instead use it to the side like the user does.

I struggle with player switching at times and it definitely cost me on some goals conceded. I think the CPU did too in my tying goal vs Fulham - so it balances out. I'd be really curious what accel 50/55 on Legendary would look like.

Surely we cant get much better than that fulham -leciester game . Really impressed with Fulham knocking it around . Hopefully closer to a completed set 🤞

Hello!

Been following and testing this SS/Acc. binomial, from the 35/50 one to the 40/55 threshold.

Would like to know what you think about 35/50 for User paired with a 40/55 for the CPU. Would that lead to an even bigger challenge, or would it kinda break that animation threshold and actually end up working the other way around?

Appreciate your opinions/experiences on that one.

Thank you! Keep it up!

Matt or anyone else on here know the camera settings I.e zoom height and far side focus? I know it's on broadcast just wandering if anyone knew the exact settings?

Re: EA SPORTS FC25 OS Community Sliders

Here are some more matches with Beta 6. I really enjoyed SPRINT/ACC 35-35/50-55. The discrepancy between user and cpu on WC makes for a nice challenge. I think it's necessary to play like this in the lower leagues. In the top leagues, like the Bundesliga, SPRINT/ACC 35/55 can also be good.
