Everyone,
Has everyone noticed the significant loss of stats when you move? It's more than before, isn't it?
What's the point? I can't quite figure it out.

So we're still rewarding the afk, is that the aim? What's the point of making a match last 90 minutes if the best solution is to move very little?

Wahhh comparing an IRL coach to a game of probabilities... why not!
But seriously, I don't mind that it's not the aim to move every minute, but the loss of stats is even greater than before, isn't it? And I really don't see the point.
The best tactic will be to play normal at the back and attack on the wing in front and pray?

basically kevin you put your team and you reconnect at half-time, simple vf

If you look at the positive side, it's that the wrong tactics will be very costly.

It forces you to move more sparingly, but you have much less room for error because every change is costly.

So, paradoxically, the tactical side remains quite pregnant.

The drop isn't nearly as bad as you'd have us believe.
What's more, the stats go back up after a few minutes to simulate the fact that the players are adapting to the new instructions.
All in all, nothing too serious.

NB: it will always be easier to win a match by changing your tactics if they're not appropriate than to do nothing and rely solely on luck.
I'd urge anyone who thinks AFK have an advantage to stop following their games. Drezzo did... He hasn't had better results though, and yet he's really bad. 😁

When you're playing against an opponent who's also trying to score a goal by various means, the loss of stats is taken on both sides anyway, it's part of the game.
But if you see that your opponent isn't moving, and you're getting impatient to score, try not to move too much either.

The good news is that we had to wait until 15 January this year to read the first useless topic from those used to chouinage... a record to be beaten in 2027... being optimistic, I'm banking on 17 January next year. At this rate, we'll have to wait until 2075 to spend a year in peace, as we'll all be dead, Aymeric included.

Personally, I'd rather read Lebaygue's contributions than the endless lamentations about the match engine. 😅
