State of the Game and my honest opinion

The New Patch Has Broken the Game and Here's Why It Needs to Be Reverted
The developers wanted to address the dribbling playstyle and that's a fair conversation to have. But instead of making precise fixes, they swung the sledgehammer and shattered what was genuinely one of the best gameplay states this game has seen in a long time.
Last patch, every playstyle had value. Dribblers, crossers, long-ball players, all of it was viable. That is the hallmark of a well-balanced game. Now the meta has collapsed into one monotonous strategy: cross it into the box and hope for the best. That isn't balance. That's a regression.
The tackling changes are the core problem. The increased tackle size and range has made defending trivially easy, and this isn't just one opinion. Ask the competitive players. The overwhelming consensus is that defending was fine before. It rewarded good positioning and created exciting 1v1 moments. Now it's a crutch that any average player can lean on to shut down a skilled dribbler, and that kills the skill gap this game is built on.
This is an arcade football game. It was never meant to feel like a simulation. When tackling becomes this dominant, you don't just nerf dribbling, you erase the identity of the game itself.
The fix is simple so revert tackling to last patch. Keep the scooby slide removed because that was a legitimate exploit. But the blanket tackling buffs were unnecessary, unasked for, and have made the game worse for a huge portion of the playerbase.
Dribbling wasn't broken, it was skilled. The answer was to get better, not to patch the game into tedium.
