Thanks man, much appreciated! Yes 1v1 still exists as the core mechanic. I’ve spent countless hours over 4 years working on strategies and solutions to reduce the impact of it, and it’s at a stage where it has far, far less of an impact in game than ever before, but it still can show up at times, in certain scenarios and isn’t perfect until EA get rid of it. The FB did attempt to mark him but then the CB became the ‘1’ in that situation and it was a quick move. It didn’t feel terrible when it happened, and the incidents it does show up in are overall far less. It’s not a lack of awareness or intelligent reaction, it’s just a weird logic that the 1v1 mechanic follows at its very core. Hope that makes sense.
It’s nowhere near like it was in previous FIFA’s though (FIFA 21…argh haha)
