@@MrTudian Facts. Packed Dinho this year. Sold him to get neymar + a much better team and instantly hit elite 3. This game isn’t competitive its p2w garbage.
I really need to start recycling the ball if there's no good attacking options in front of me, constantly trying to force forward passes when there's actually nothing on and just giving up possession for no reason, thanks for finally making me fully realise that I need to drill it into my head😂
I found this too but depending on the formation you use and the custom tactics, you need either fast build up or long ball to make the run either to you or away, get into the box and get in behind and ALSO you need a high attacking work rate
It's called ea scripting I also notice same they will be in good position because I've manually switched and the minute I'm in position to intercept or tackle oh they suddenly run away from the player opponant can literally run in straight line straight past my defenders and they aren't doing skill moves or changing direction at last min literally my defenders move out the way and let them past or de highlight yet I can be through on goal n a defender suddenly appears n takes it off players boot at he's about to shoot or they will sit about 5 players in n around box and I can manually trigger player runs n oh they don't wanna make any runs so I then think OK il pass back as no way through so cheers neal but it's nonsense you can't beat ea scripting They decide who wins. You can also create like 20 odd chances n have like 17 shots on target and their gk can fly yet they can have 3 shots all game n they are all a goal. I literally played my friends profile who is 4 divisions higher than me and I was winning his games yet my profile I loose more than I win...we use same formation tactics and instructions n have simular players so it can't be explained logically other than ea deciding I'm in that division n staying there!
@@user-qe7ib8qh3h EA does not have an agenda against you cmon now. There’s so many factors, like how the servers were running, the time of day you played with your friend’s account, your sample size of playing on your friend’s account vs yours. The type of mindset you were in or amount of focus you had. If you manually switch a player into position, move off them, and the opponent is running at that player, that’s on you to switch back to that player and defend. The positioning may block a shot attempt but you can’t expect them to do your job. I know what you mean but why aren’t you manually defending the man on ball? Maybe the opponent outplayed you and triggered a run that forced AI movement. Second point, there’s literally no way you are triggering runs and the player is refusing to move. You sound impatient at the idea the run isn’t instant, or that you have to pass backwards if an option isn’t immediately present. Third, shot on target doesn’t mean a thing. You could blast long shots at a keeper all game and get more SOG than the opponent. The quality of the chances are much more important. Also factor in the fact that some players move the keeper. This comment reeks of confirmation bias. EA and their servers have a lot of stuff that is going on and hurting overall gameplay. But discouraging players from practicing what Neal is teaching, then passing gaps in your ability off as a major video game developer having a personal bone to pick with you is lazy.
@@wassimsoldat I’ve played a few hundred games. If anything just double tap the triggered run while facing the player to be safe it takes almost no extra time at all.
Mate you talk about finding the right moment for the pass, how is 1:40 a good moment if you're with Sissoko who is not a great passer to be honest and on the way to neymar or mbappe, whoever that is you've got two defenders, and the guy is clearly cutting passing lanes? I do not mean to be rude, Im sincerely asking because I would've never make that pass.
Was a lucky pass, so many players can intercept the ball, not the best moment to pass in my opinion but in last minutes game can be strange and let you.
Certain times I go from proper high level elite to like gold 2 finishing for just 1 game and it always costs me/ when I’m against good players I’ll play much better, need to focus and take that stance with everyone
I’ve finished gold 2 every week so far, yet I do everything in this video, the LB runs, the passing and waiting for a clear opportunity.. my defending is what really let’s me down
This is terribly put together, you should watch the full clip through and say some brief points and then go back and cover the more important things. Was really hard to watch because of how often it was paused, made me stop watching.
Me tooo I was having a horrible weekend league and I needed to win 6/7 to get gold 1 and after I watched his videos I changed the way a I played and won 6 games to secure gold 1
@@Nan363eo the main con of these formation is playing against pacy players. And 99 percent of players are using pacy wingers. So i wouldn't recommend it for anyone. Unless maybe he's an expert at using these formations. Maybe like you actually 😉
@@R2Finesse Bro the point of these formations are that you set your wingers to drop back and defend, so you get 5 defenders. might as well use 5-3-2 and attack with the left backs/right backs
@@arellano4337 yeah 3 def would work if you have the right players and you are good at it. I'm just saying there are many who are not very good with that. I'd suggest using 4atb formations for them. For someone like you can even use 3142. U will see lot's of runs from ur players. Try and let me here ur opinion pls
it's really hard to score goals when everyone is playing dropback with 1 depth and their players block every shot, I'm in div 1 and it's not even fun anymore, I just play champs for the rewards. hopefully, they nerf the AI blocks.
Agree totally. Every year i hope they make a game where it's impossible to play that way but it never happens. And when they want a goal they just bang it on ultra attack and enjoy all the space youve created 😑
If manual defending or anything else were viable more, people would have played it, but instead they nerfed defending so hard in general. I have been and still manually defending but its not rewarding at all that much, in fact you get punished for manually defending by all of those rebounds. With the headers nerf + rebounds buff + AI defense nerf + manual defense nerf + through balls buff, people who want to have the most value will need to dropback with low depth 1-3 and block shots, there is no other viable option cause EA left none.
@@marktracey1095 what seems to happen is you score an early goal and then they pause the game to change to 1 depth . if people couldn't change tactics in game a lot of people would be shit at fifa
@@ANDY1985UK2011 they dont even need it to pause nowadays because you can have 5 pre set formations that you can switch to. And thats exactly what i mean they can change gameplan and frustrate you at any moment. You're right people would be bad if they couldn't do it, it really does bridge the skill gap making it less fun for those who are better
Need a short video on how to track runs,eg u see ur opponent making a run so u run him down with ur player but you end up running in a wrong path and sometimes miss the ball completely
Useful information, but when it comes to scoring, what really gives you the goal is the last skill. I watch lots of videos like this, they tell you to create space, be patient, but in the end there is a five star skill and booooom: goal.
Yea this is all good and that but I happy with my gold 1 playing fun attacking football, rather than getting elite 3 or even 2 if I’m lucky by playing this shit full sweat bollocks it’s a video game and you men playing like it’s a cup final.
@NealGuides. The defense system in this game is so broken. I would never thought to pass to Neymar in situation like in 2:22. What is defender doing? Standing next to Neymar, he can easily intercept the ball, but he does nothing instead. So in fifa you have about 6-7 players in defend, but only one can actively defend at a time :D Funny game
I am a Gold 1 player and this is what I have to say about this video: First clip: I actually do the same, except for one part. Instead of beating the defender with a skill move I run into him and lose the ball. Maybe I am not thinking fast enough. I don't know which skill move to make in an insanely tight situation, like in your example where you are already extremely close to the defender before you perform the skill. Honestly I even think he should get the ball there. Second and Third clip: This is how I usually play. Fourth clip: Yeah, this is kind of a tricky one. I can be pretty unpredictable in some games. Then we have these other games... where you don't know what to do and you just pass the ball around the box for 5 hours. I tried to fix my mistakes before, but it feels like I just can't.
Do you mean the pass at 2:57? There are 2 defenders blocking it but of course it somehow goes through. Any chance you watch Stallion's vids? He highlights perfectly the issues with passing on this game.
I get elite 3 and what I noticed is! Recycle the ball: I do it but barely manage to score a goal like that! While some gold player will make your mistake and just run down the line and score a easy goal over and over again even if I mark the entire attack! Cause they always get a rebound Run out of the defense: they always swarm me with this while I don’t so they just long ball to the side and make the initial mistake of run down the line and score Making runs: into a box with 11 players defending? Yeah good luck with that Be unpredictable: how many times beating that bus? Nope it’s nearly impossible! And they just use their special move final minute jam goal to win Use cheap players like gelson and passes to Neymar😑 Thx EA you made this mans video just awkward to watch
9:08 Beginning of the video he says pass back If there’s less space infront Or defenders covering the lane. Two defenders are literally covering the lane It’s just that mbappe has cracked shooting so he scored the goal. It’s a good video But at the same Time You basically did what you tell people Not to do.
It’s not a p2w game😅yea you get a few more goals here and there with million coin players. But I can use a 500k squad and hit gold 1 then use a 5m team and get gold 1 it’s all how you play. Most players complain too much on this game
That first clip is everything wrong with fifa though. It should be about having fun and scoring goals no passing the ball around for 90 mins hoping for that one killer pass like do you actually get enjoyment from just holding the ball and passing it around ?
The game is broke, me and my friends have for 3+ hours of footage with bullshit. For me it was the last fifa, when I have the PS5 I won’t buy that shit game again
This is genius I watch ur videos everyday,but u made a mistake, Mbappe is right footed not left but still that was an ingenious move and uv helped me improved so much that I used to be on semi pro that now am almost on ultimate,thank u,stay safe with the pandemic
1:42 i dont get why this situation is good. i see 2 defenders against 1 attacker. why is this pass a good opportunity? it obviously is but I don't see this kind of situations. even yet in the video it looks like a wrong pass for me.
@@sheltonalfredo8151 thank you I was wondering. Because when I use rashford and son I'm like how are people saying he's good he never makes runs. Its because I never do those passes lmao. Cheers!
@@uSneezy don’t forget to fall them short tho, its important to create movement and space but sometimes u need to be patient and recycle the ball and for that u need players to pass the ball
can Gordon Ramsay teach people to cook as well as he does? i had a 10-2 start only to finish 14-10. quite a helpless feeling. 3rd year in FUT & im lost. def considering Neal's school.
Sure Captain Hindsight, this would be impressive if you did a live game and showed it, all you RU-vidrs do is select a saved game and right moment and act as if you planned that shit, give me a break, go fool a child.
Yes, I actually do this on stream, twitch.tv/nealguides where all the clips are recorded and actually play the game and read the chat at the same time. You sound mad captain I am so shit and jealous, give me a break, stop crying I understand your probably under 18, but you really got to mature up in life.
Now you tell me after successfully doing all this things and you get 14-15 one to one situations and score once and your opponent score 3 screamers with 2-3* weak foot cdms. Which way you rage quit or you simply don't?
I don't know if you guys play online Division, there's a person with a name jsnowgot that never gets beaten ever, even with the stupid GK and defending in FIFA 21, i'm amazed..
Great video bro 👍 but I always get gold 1 with 21 22 wins i do everything that you said in this video but I lose to much games to get elite 3 in my first 10 games I only lose 1 or 2 but then in my next 10 games I always lose 3 or 4 games I dont know how but it seems like my opponent get more lucky bounces back and bs pens I got a good angle to shoot and my st miss the goal and shoot 3 meters over the goal when I normally always score so idk what I suppose to do...
Nice video thank you! Would be nice if you paused the gameplay less, would be easier to watch. (When you pause it, keep it paused) But you paused the gameplay, pressed play, paused etc and it makes it harder to watch. But besides that, love the video
Great Video. I totally do all these mistakes. Nice one bro. Can you make a video how you defend when facing 2 striker formations, I always lose to 2 striker formations,
Defend through cdms, i have dejong as drop between defenders... one its difficult to counter attack me as my cdm is always there where i want him to be... 2nd once i do hold opponents a bit valverde also comes back with some artillery (greizman and portu as come back on defense).... now my opponent needs to pass my cdms as i never take control of CBs even sometimes i do not control even my FBs....i do every single defense through my cdms.... once they are beaten which they will be i don't move my back 4 from their positions till i see that i can tackle my opponents player.... in this way i have never conceded more than 3 goals in all of my matches.... be patient dont rush towards your opponent... tackle when absolutely necessary otherwise intercept passes....
@@Sarioneo bro usually i start with my fav 4231 wide, have defense and attack on balanced then if my opponent is destroying me which happens sometimes, i change to 41212 narrow where hazard goes to cam position,portu and valverde as CMs and de Jong as drop between defenders or 4321....
I respect and understand that ... but how bro can I go 14 - 0 in the start and than fucking lose 8 games in a row. Yeah maybe I start playing aggressive and make mistakes after 2 loses but still my players starting to feel like shit and Turn like tanks. If somebody has a solution please just help me
