All good man, thanks for giving it a run anyway! Was the defender moving away from the striker through happening on legendary? Can’t say I’ve seen that happen for me if I understand correctly.
Thank-you for that. The difficulty in touch/sprinting is very much a stylistic choice that some will love and others will hate. I personally don’t mind having it as an option to play with too at times and will release a version that maintains it for those wanting to use it. I just want to refine that aspect a little before I do.
Thank-you man, really appreciate that!
thank you very much your great mod! however wouldn't version 4.1 be easier compared to version 4.0?
I feel like it's more accurate in terms of representing different skill sets. If you're playing as a big team v smaller teams then you'll find it easier. If you're playing as a smaller team v a big team you should find it more difficult. Curious to hear feedback on others experience with it and we can go from there.
you advise to play in semi or manual to your mod?
This is where it gets super tricky and highly subjective, because I can make defenders a lot more difficult to get beyond in general, but then we get a little bit into the debate of player abilities and who should/shouldn't be able to do certain things (in regards to who is passing and defending). I think different versions might be the only real way around it. Even how long your halves are will impact what is deemed realistic or unrealistic.
Whichever you prefer out of the two. If you go manual I recommend upping the power bar, it helps a lot!
super thank you one last question does your mod apply to a career already launched?
I'm not sure how it works if you've already started a career. I would imagine it still works as it's just gameplay files.
Oh no I get that, there's a difference between a skilled attacker evading a less skilled defender either beating the defender via dribbling or changing direction or just generally outpacing one that's clearly trying to pursue...
The attacking runner dictating the defensive line issue? Oh I know about that one haha. I’ve worked to offset it but I’m working on a proper fix! It has annoyed me for a long, long time in multiple games. It’s a feature of modern football games for some reason. I find it is way worse on pes 2021 though.
This is the defensive interaction issue I’ve been telling you about that’s plagued frostbite FIFA for YEARS. I sent you a clip of it two days ago man! This is why I made the decisions I made for v3/3.1.

It has to do with speed/acceleration and many other things too, but to get rid of it across the board, you have to level up certain things (in various ways). You just have to.
If you have the gap in speed/acceleration and if you want differences in players speed/in marking/tackling etc and if you don’t want defenders to be much better right across then this is exactly what can happen.
Edit: If you're thinking 'but the player that did it is low pace, etc', it doesn't matter. Once there is the capacity for the high end (or the low end), then there will be ways the high end of acceleration can be reached when double tapping for example (or the low end when defending with certain players). It opens up the scope due to the way the game is programmed. There are many creative ways to try and get rid of it completely, but none that don’t bring other negatives.
I’ve worked on this issue more than anyone can imagine haha. I feel like it happens far less in my mod personally as I’ve tested it forever. On vanilla, I could do that to the fastest defender in the game with my CB on pretty much any team and I could do it 50 times a game. It's the first thing I test on any FIFA or with any sliders or with any gameplay mod - and 9.9/10 times in 4 years I can re-create it in the first 30 seconds of trying.
It’s also a big reason for the touch/sprinting feature I brought it as it helps to negate the issue a lot too. When the ball is considered 'under control' in a sprint (double tap as well) I think this doesn't engage the defender quite the same as if the game suspects it's a 'loose ball'. The sprinting feature of 3/3.1 creates more 'loose balls' which creates more defensive awareness in that sense. See what I mean when I say it's a nightmare to balance haha!
What Marlon is referring to I’m not sure is quite the same thing.
Edit 2: Thinking about it just now, I know what he’s referring to I think. If it’s what I suspect (where defenders just run by you for no reason at all in the interaction) then I'm pretty sure it happened not on legendary if it happened in my mod (again, if it's what I think it is). It’s why I say it’s designed for legendary for defensive interactions/awareness in the read me/first post. To be clear, this is different to what you’re looking at. It’s an extension of them not engaging, but instead they engage like they’re 2 years old and can’t see properly haha.
Edit 3: I will definitely try and fix it and also retain all of the features the mod has brought in, but I'm running out of steam to make it perfect
Yeah the sprint thing is one aspect.
Thank you man! Yeah it’s happened due to creating a more tangible difference in players speed/acceleration. There’s a very limited scope where you can create the differences without breaking the game. So if you go too far to the low end then you get cb not being able to defend properly and you also get a significant loss in quality of interactions for the ball. If you go too high you get a super aggressive CPU, both in build up and general aggression - plus it’s crazy fast. I’ve tried for hours and hours to get the absolute bottom of that range without breaking anything and for now this is the best I could do while maintaining a good difference between players.
How about on legendary? The mod is designed for legendary only really.
Depends on the player. It’s something I’ve looked at a little but not a lot to be honest. I don’t have major issues with the crossing personally as I find there are still crosses in the game, but I will spend more time on it once I’ve sorted out some other things I’m looking at with the mod.
