The main problem with this it gives a huge advantage to players with the best internet because the AI will be more active for them. Whenever I play top ranking players it always feels like their players are on steroids, have perfect positioning and win almost every dual and loose ball, whilst my players all go hiding and can barely pass the ball. In my opinion most of the top ranked players are gaining a huge advantage from internet connection and AI is doing a lot of the work for them.
Now, that is a by all means useful analysis Med. It all now makes sense and actually... falls into place with what i was suspicious has been happening but wasn't sure enough to admit it to my self! Again, great job Med and do keep it up!

To those in the comments being angry or annoyed by the mobile player base, please don’t be. Any and all frustration should be directed towards those who control the direction of the game and those who are in charge. As players all we can do is play or walk away (with or without our wallets). Normally I would add, “express our thoughts “, however this has gone on long enough, that it’s clear we aren’t being heard. Yes, the game ought to be separate on mobile and on console but that means more work and cost, cutting into profits. Resulting in a mobile centric experience at the detriment of all players. We want and deserve better, however all we get is more ways of having our money taken away. Thank you Med for your continued dedication and support to this game and to all creators who plough on despite the obstacles.
Thank you again ked one more useful video shared. You got your like but... this time the "like" is not only for you but also for this sweet kitty walking around your pc. 😍
Also, the AI is worse if your overall is low, which makes it even more pay to win because decreases skill gap but increases the chances of people paying for better players.
I realized when they implemented this, good players would play and position themselves automatically, and the opponent didn’t need to do anything. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to score goals against those who know how to exploit this and easier to be punished for trying to defend out of anxiety to recover the ball, especially when playing against 5 defenders and 2 defensive midfielders. I already know these are people who don’t want to bother defending.
AI "defending" (or AI anything) is just a sugarcoating for scripting. The same players in each team, and one team is like as if it was on legend, players react with unreal responsiveness, make superhuman blocks, players like Salah win headers vs Van Dijke, De Ligt outpaces Vinicius etc, while in the other they move like beginner level, balls go through players as if they were ghosts and goalies can't make a single save. I play this game for 15 years now, and since it went into this epic-booster card frenzy direction it looks more like a casino rather than football. The game was so much better in the mid 2010 era, it was not about cards but about what the end user can do with the ball on the pitch. You had a lot more control over the tactics down to what each individual player does during a match and the AI had little influence on the game. I miss that, if KONAMI had not updated anything since then but the engine and the animations we'd have a game 2-3 tiers higher than the current one.
Im almost f2p, sometimes spend some money 2-3 euros on month. But when i play against p2w squad i feel like noob especialy in the last 20min. Konami help to much and game lose the point. Great video bro

Hi, this has already been possible in other PES games. The difficulty is more in not selecting the players or deselecting them in time. In the past it was also possible to let the CPU take the free kick by simply letting the time run out. In front of the opponent's penalty area, the player then also liked to score the goal.

Watching your videos recently. Great work bro! I accept my skill issues, but the 'perfectly timed' network lags, the conceding of goals with the first attack of the game, conceding at injury time of each half, the strange player behaviour is making it impossible to play for years now. 21+ years of e footballing (FIFA on PC, PES on mobile, etc.) experience here. Just recently came across this AI defending stuff making life hell for users. Playing PES/efootball since 2018, (I never rage quit) and Writing this comment after losing 8-0 in division 6 which is probably my heaviest defeat in any form of football (electronic, real life). 3 goals from perfect network lags, 3 from defenders 'megging themselves to concede possession. It seemed impossible to string 2 passes together right from kickoff. It felt, just like you said, very, very different with all sorts of intelligence working against you. It felt like the objective of the entire game was for the ball to be played in my penalty area. I'll edit this comment after trying this AI crap out. Currently a former Division 3 player struggling to get promoted to Division 5. Let skills/morals go down the drain. Who cares?
Hello Med! Amazing (and sad) video analysis on the current state of eFootball. Thinking that you don’t even need to defend because the CPU does it for you-and even makes the first pass if there’s a teammate nearby-is truly absurd and humiliating for a game that’s supposed to aim for competitiveness and realism. Instead, it’s shifting toward an arcade style, and maybe even a more automated experience if they make Smart Assist mandatory beyond just the events. That would truly be too much.
At the beginning of the season many users complained that it was too difficult to defend, now they complain because it's all CPU. Here is the result of the handsless people who complained at the beginning of the phase.
Defending manually is often more difficult for me because the CPU comes into conflict. I agree with everything you say. You are the voice of the healthy community💯💯🔥🔥
Those who complained at the beginning of the game are those who are not willing to put in the effort to learn to defend. Majority of the community just want A.I to do the defending for them. It doesn't make sense. Konami did this to please the majority of the community, especially on mobile. Because with more people in the community, means more money.
@@epagameplay2458 I agree with you, as a mobile player, I have witnessed a very good first-week experience where people need to learn how to use manual defense instead of spamming matchup, but now, it has become so shit for a f2p like me to grind online matches, especially in rank matches
Great video again med❤, I'm a div. 2 player and you see defenders intercepting some passes without any input 😅even I can't deny that it helps sometimes
Hi Med, thanks for the greeting, I'm Brazilian. You could do an extra test in training mode, start with your normal defenders and reduce the defensive talent to 95, 90, from 5 to 5, to the minimum possible and see how much this influences the AI's decisions. sorry for my bad english.
tbh this video needs a lot of awareness, its just trash that a Multiplayer game has so much assist, absolutely awful. not fun at all. when everyone plays against AI Epics. Dribbling is also way more difficult because of this
Great video. It would be interesting to see if the AI is that good with a lower rated team. My guess is that it's much more effective with an epic team that's filled with meta P2W players.
@@mednasahI'd put that to a test, the running behavior and positioning would be the same yes. But worse defenders won't be able to cover the ground as good as 103+ rated defenders. I play with a team rated 2.800 in divisions and after min 60-70 they are dead, red on stamina with Xabi Alonso manager :)
I think you are mistaken in this conclusion. The prominent AI defending is not to benefit new players at all. It's actually to increase the winning rate of high division, paying customers. You can see that this AI-controlled defense is way more efficient and active with EPIC players like Viera, Kanté, Thuram, and Nesta. Plus, players with some game knowledge know how to position their selected player and let the AI do the rest. A newcomer would be changing cursor constantly, further messing up their defense structure and opening spaces. In this state, the game only allows paying players and experienced players to win more games, and new players have an even harder time winning.
@@GuilleVQ you are mistaken. The higher you go in the division, the less ai is (ab)used. You say it by yourself, a new player would do way more mistake Ingame and that's exactly the reason for the ai - no matter if Epics or not. I know my job buddy.
This is not at all good from Konami. This Extraaaa-AI approach is not incentivizing players to learn the game, just spoon feeding them now sadly. Game is meant to be played by us. Another question, are we buying epics now to play better with better stats, or buying them to auto-play & for better AI experience?
No. I think that AI should only be used when switching commands between attack and defense, there is a delay in this change, the dolls turn off, during this delay time the AI should take over, so there would be less of an impression of turning off the doll.
That's why I was always embarrassed because in certain matches the opponent would disconnect and stay still for a while , but I still couldn't score a goal at all, Until his connection came back I couldn't that explains it! LOL
@mednasah Can you make a video about something I've been noticing that helps "maybe a little" when making passes and reducing the chance of the opponent auto blocking with the A.i Basically, when you already have a passing target decided (or the only option) ahead, instead of aiming with the analog stick where you want to pass and them press triangle, or X, or L1 triangle.... you will release the analog stick and just press the pass button, (any type of pass you want) If you do this, (at least what I think and what I noticed doing) is that the opponent AI has greater difficulty predicting the trajectory and sometimes even goes through them like a glitch, and they don't block it! It seemed useful to me for through passes. Remembering I'm not sure if it's all in my head or if it's actually helping!
@mednasah maybe this effect is strengthened/heightened by the fact that you were 2 games from winning promotion? In my experience, when playing divisions the 'scripting' becomes more powerful the closer you are to either promotion/relegation. This acts both ways i.e; it works in your favour when close to promotion and very much against you when youre on a losing streak facing relegation. I'm currently a Div 3 player but have plated in all divisions including Division 1 depending upon how much time I have to play... What are your thoughts?
Congratulations 👏🏼 the true tutorial videos are back and you're on Fire 🔥 many thanks for this content 🙏🏼 you see things way deeper than others and presentations are top notch 😎 all the very best for you in future with good health 💖 and fortune 🔮
Amazing video brother 💪💥 !Imperial (this will help in telling my twitch name). Never ever imagined they have buffed AI so much. This video was an eye opener for me and probably for a lot more people 😳
@@mednasah Ya habibiiiiiiiiiiii. Its so scary, BHAAII I never even knew that this was even possible! Next level Investigation brother. Sherlock Holmes of eFootball 💥✊
@mednasah by the way habibi, the video cuts in this are just belissimo. You are definitely class above than other content creators 💥💥 So creative! Also love the half terminator in the thumbnail 🤖
One thing I always criticised EAFC (Fifa) for was the fact that the game became a bit of a skill spam simulator, but now I know why people abuse skills so much. It's because Fifa did the exact same thing Konami is now doing, implementing massive AI hand holding. Skill spam exists is because skills often beat AI defending. In Efootball skills help but they are less effective. It's sadly got to the point where Efootball is now more pay to win than EAFC. In EAFC you can learn skills to beat AI defending much easier, and if you learn the marketplace and how to trade, you can buy top players with profit. In Efootball skills are far less viable and fluid because of the "realism" mechanics, and AI defending is far stronger, meaning if you come up against someone with a full epic squad, you are at a huge disadvantage, because unless you have played every week for 12+ months, your free squad simply won't be able to offset the massive disadvantage. These days people build insane squads on fifa in 7 days. Sad sad times, I quit EAFC because of it's heavily monetized P2w mechanics and AI defending, and now i've pretty much quit Efootball for the same reason. EF22 and launch day EF23 were less "polished" but were far more manual, which was so much more fun imo.
@@mednasah It's a shame but I still enjoy your content and will continue to support you. I hope EFootball can start to create some meaningful content so youtubers like yourself can let your creative sides show, it must be had to come up with content when the game barely changes from year to year in terms of content or events.
This is disgusting, I noticed this also on co op when opponent stopped playing but hsi defenders shielded the ball like crazy, the other defenders covering for him. This shit needs to go.
Thank you for the Video Med Now if you play with 5 physical Defender at the Back and press nonstop on the call for pressure Button you become a Pro eFootball player.
@mednasah with 5 defender spamming call for pressure causes no gaps and with the last update it's enough that a physical defender touch your nimble Attacker to destroy your attack
I think konami implemented ai defence to help the noob mobile players with op booster when i played against a noob mobile player with op double boosters the defenders is auto blocking the shots on goal and auto intercepting the ball now the ai defense is hard to break cause konami want players to keep playing and spend money on the game
I would be interested if the AI defense also acts so well with LBC or possession play? I have the feeling that QC AI defense is more powerful bc they intercept more going in front of the strikers
Passes with no button. Repositions without input. Refuses to first time pass or first time shoot on press. Blocks like a ghost when pressing Match Up. The game feels more automated and out of your control than ever. Frustration building
@@mednasah bro manual switchers depends on ai bro I'm using manual switching from 2017 cpu helped me so far.but some times they will be static players will enter our defensive wall like nothing 🤣🤣
Good Video Bro. The Defending is to Big at the moment nearly every Goal starts with a Tackle or a Interception is hard to Play out with passing even Striker has very strong Tackles like your 2 Goal. I Play now with 2 CM and 1 DMF focus on Winning Ball and Win most.
Man, this works only with cyborgs, my defenders stop running when ball is crossing his running path when I don't control defender. When I control them ball run through them legs. Konami change 2 things to bad one - interceptions and physical power with auto shield. This two changes ruin this game. At end of 2024 version game was the best since eFootball was released.
I always did it before 4.0 patch.. Especially when i was against "ping-pong" style opponent, either switching to goalkeeper or my counter target winger and AI do the defending stuff 😂
Speaking of AI, sometimes i see unbelievable performances of my opponent's goalkeeper, and i have no idea which stats of that GK made him do that crazy save. maybe make us a video about attributes of a goalkeeper (awareness, reach, reflex, etc) and how to fine-tune them specifically for Short and tall keepers. And also how does the reach/reflex/jump attributes works on the match. Alot of us don't have cech/kahn/..., so we just customize nominating/highlight GKs just to have someone on the goal and make it to the 90 minutes 😅. That video i just talked about would be so crazy and helpful. Anytime such video comes out, I'm going to be the first watchin it 🥳 god bless u sir
It is crazy indeed Medna with the AI. I think it is made like this to encourage pay to win. It works as you have some of the best players in game. Maybe make a team with players rated 88-90 each and do the same test out of curiosity. I think it will be a slightly different story
@@mednasah I have a team called My worst players, I use it in Divisions, aprox. 2780-2800 team strength. Team gets improved when a new player replaces the 900th weakest player :) As u can imagine most opponents have +3100 strength. I tried last night for 2 hours and they do some interceptions, they never pass like in your video, but many times they can't be in the right place in the right time to do the interception, hence most of the time just run to get in the right spot. I think opposite players have higher attacking awareness vs my players weaker defensive awareness, hence opponent players usually get the ball first and have also a little more time to react. From minute 60-70 when stamina goes low they don't even run anymore, can't cover spaces. So, it does work, but in a much lower extent. I got with My worst players in Division 2 but I couldn't scratch my nose in any match :))) it's very hard for me to go in D1 with that team...against 3150+ teams my players seem like swimming :) Maybe u could, u're a better player.
I play with a Bayern Rtg team and have tested the AI defense. My defenders basically do nothing. They stand 5m away from their opponent and react very slowly to the attacker. After 1HT and 4 goals conceded, I started defending manually again.
Question for other noobs like me: (I’m sorry it’s not very relevant to the video, but I don’t find any recent video of this RUclipsr talking about this) -- as a noob, i find the jump from division 6 to division 5 really high. From needing 0 points to stay up to needing 10 points to stay up. Do you feel the same way? For me personally its demoralizing and I just stop playing after a few losses
Don't quit the game. I am alway teaching top 1k. So I can give you some tricks and feedback. That js the normal jump and the 10 points to stay up are not that hard. Meaning 3 wins at least. please reply this if tou wanna play and get some feedback.
Hi Med, i think your defense was aggressive and getting possession back because of quick counter play style. But even with this kind of things game getting noobly
I’ve had so many arguments with mobile players of this game about how this years Efootball is the most hand holding game Efootball we’ve ever had. So many of them couldn’t stop licking the boot and telling me it wasn’t. Mobile players are single handedly ruining the game by allowing the devs to continue to do this. I barely touch the game now, it’s not worth the time or effort.
@@mednasah Yep, Mobile games are typically lower quality and the standards mobile players set for games are much lower than console/pc players, so they accept it. It's sad. I really hope Konami can take away some of the hand holding on console/pc versions.
@moosarastgoo what if they go AFK as a way of rage quitting, like they see that I’m 3-0 up so instead of quitting they make the process as long and painful as possible for me🤣
This is truly very interesting, and I have tested it myself-it works very well. I have a question: Can I use the track back skill in my center back player?
@Mednasah this intro is too Goodddddd!!!!!!!… WOW! 🎉, I’m too impressed … I’ve been subscribed to you for a long time and I watch and love every single video !
@ true diligence !… I also think the tactic worked well because of quick counter , because the players are high up the pitch …. Try it again with long ball counter !
@mednasah if it continues now like with smart assist all this feature the game will turn manager mode lol People with higher players win easily Skills won't matter much anymore I hope Konami make the game more Manually rather than automatic
I really wish Konami will bring a Clubs mode like FC. That’s my favorite mode and in 11 v 11 no one can hide. And, as much as you guys hate on eFootball. I’m saying with confidence it’s much closer to real football than FC
Hi Mednasah !I have a problem with my squad , what do you think I have to choose in goalkeeping position between Neuer 98 ( nominating contract version), Diogo Costa potw 100 , Emiliano Martinez potw with boost ,Ter Stegen 100 (messi pack), Oblak 99 from daily box or maybe Courtois gp version (I have the 97 version)? Thank you very much and I want to say l really love your videos!!
Can someone explain why I'm always passing to my opponent it usually happens when i try to do the through ball near their 16yead area. its always the opponent getting it i tried everything, my only way around it is the powerpass or the fake shot pass these confuse the AI anticipation of my balls so one help

The ai reacts independent from your connection. The worse your Internet, the better to use the ai.

Defending manually is often more difficult for me because the CPU comes into conflict. I agree with everything you say. You are the voice of the healthy community💯💯🔥🔥
Those who complained at the beginning of the game are those who are not willing to put in the effort to learn to defend. Majority of the community just want A.I to do the defending for them. It doesn't make sense. Konami did this to please the majority of the community, especially on mobile. Because with more people in the community, means more money.
@@epagameplay2458 I agree with you, as a mobile player, I have witnessed a very good first-week experience where people need to learn how to use manual defense instead of spamming matchup, but now, it has become so shit for a f2p like me to grind online matches, especially in rank matches
Great video again med❤, I'm a div. 2 player and you see defenders intercepting some passes without any input 😅even I can't deny that it helps sometimes
Thanks mate 🫶
Bro you are a great talker
Not displaying your game knowledge but acknowledging another talent
Keep it coming G 👏
Always brother - credit to whom credit is due!
Thank you very much 🫡
Prime content as always Med. BAAAAAM!
Prime Community brother 🔥
Hi Med, thanks for the greeting, I'm Brazilian. You could do an extra test in training mode, start with your normal defenders and reduce the defensive talent to 95, 90, from 5 to 5, to the minimum possible and see how much this influences the AI's decisions. sorry for my bad english.
Irmao perfect English, it is not our native language! I will consider it 🤝
@@mednasah Thank you and congratulations for the content, I have learned a lot from you. 🥰
tbh this video needs a lot of awareness, its just trash that a Multiplayer game has so much assist, absolutely awful. not fun at all. when everyone plays against AI Epics. Dribbling is also way more difficult because of this
Mal sehen wie viel Aufmerksamkeit das Video über die Zeit bekommt. Du hast in jedem Fall Recht 👍
@@mednasahdas Video müsste sich in der ganzen efo Szene verbreiten. Echt gutes Thema hast du da angesprochen.
Thank you for the content brother!
Very welcome 💪
Poor cat, I hope he gets better and won't get sick anymore.
Thank you very much!
Great video. It would be interesting to see if the AI is that good with a lower rated team. My guess is that it's much more effective with an epic team that's filled with meta P2W players.
The running behavior and positioning would be still almost the same. The ai won't be just super weak just because of different players.
@@mednasahI'd put that to a test, the running behavior and positioning would be the same yes. But worse defenders won't be able to cover the ground as good as 103+ rated defenders. I play with a team rated 2.800 in divisions and after min 60-70 they are dead, red on stamina with Xabi Alonso manager :)
I think you are mistaken in this conclusion. The prominent AI defending is not to benefit new players at all. It's actually to increase the winning rate of high division, paying customers. You can see that this AI-controlled defense is way more efficient and active with EPIC players like Viera, Kanté, Thuram, and Nesta. Plus, players with some game knowledge know how to position their selected player and let the AI do the rest. A newcomer would be changing cursor constantly, further messing up their defense structure and opening spaces. In this state, the game only allows paying players and experienced players to win more games, and new players have an even harder time winning.
@@GuilleVQ you are mistaken. The higher you go in the division, the less ai is (ab)used. You say it by yourself, a new player would do way more mistake Ingame and that's exactly the reason for the ai - no matter if Epics or not. I know my job buddy.
awesome analysis as always Med, Thanks for the effort !!!
Very welcome kind sir 🫡
Thanks for the video❤❤
Very welcome brother!
Do you think this is the right direction Konami is going with the AI currently?
This is not at all good from Konami. This Extraaaa-AI approach is not incentivizing players to learn the game, just spoon feeding them now sadly. Game is meant to be played by us. Another question, are we buying epics now to play better with better stats, or buying them to auto-play & for better AI experience?
@taran_ss the last question is a very reasonable one 👍
No. I think that AI should only be used when switching commands between attack and defense, there is a delay in this change, the dolls turn off, during this delay time the AI should take over, so there would be less of an impression of turning off the doll.
Konami does this to have control(handicap) and keep players spending money.
@MohamedEllaban-hs5vr yes I should do that...
Wow amazing work captain
Thank you Mr. Ice
Thanks brother. Again another amazing video. All the best. ❤
Thanks bro 🫶
That's why I was always embarrassed because in certain matches the opponent would disconnect and stay still for a while , but I still couldn't score a goal at all, Until his connection came back I couldn't that explains it! LOL
All of us suffered from this 🥶
@mednasah Can you make a video about something I've been noticing that helps "maybe a little" when making passes and reducing the chance of the opponent auto blocking with the A.i
Basically, when you already have a passing target decided (or the only option) ahead, instead of aiming with the analog stick where you want to pass and them press triangle, or X, or L1 triangle.... you will release the analog stick and just press the pass button, (any type of pass you want) If you do this, (at least what I think and what I noticed doing) is that the opponent AI has greater difficulty predicting the trajectory and sometimes even goes through them like a glitch, and they don't block it! It seemed useful to me for through passes.
Remembering I'm not sure if it's all in my head or if it's actually helping!
First time seeing Bubu's face, this old man is looking handsome
Thanks mate, he really is 🫶
@mednasah maybe this effect is strengthened/heightened by the fact that you were 2 games from winning promotion?
In my experience, when playing divisions the 'scripting' becomes more powerful the closer you are to either promotion/relegation. This acts both ways i.e; it works in your favour when close to promotion and very much against you when youre on a losing streak facing relegation.
I'm currently a Div 3 player but have plated in all divisions including Division 1 depending upon how much time I have to play...
What are your thoughts?
No that has got nothing to do with it. This ai behavior will be always the same.
I feel like this kind of AI defending only exist when you have paid players. Also 523 is one of my favourite formations but I play on quick counter
It happens with all players and formations bro
@@mednasahit mainly happens with p2win players
Before auto defend, i am really proud of my defend skills. Now it’s over. My manual defend cant survive this.
Manual is still way stronger bro
Thank you so much Habibi for this video ❤
Very welcome Hamza brother 🫡
Nice test. I can do the same test with a free squad, I think it will have the same results. AI helps any team , not just the high stats squad.

@@v-achintyah Love from India 🇮🇳 Mednasah brother and Achin brother BEST 😇
One thing I always criticised EAFC (Fifa) for was the fact that the game became a bit of a skill spam simulator, but now I know why people abuse skills so much. It's because Fifa did the exact same thing Konami is now doing, implementing massive AI hand holding.
Skill spam exists is because skills often beat AI defending. In Efootball skills help but they are less effective.
It's sadly got to the point where Efootball is now more pay to win than EAFC. In EAFC you can learn skills to beat AI defending much easier, and if you learn the marketplace and how to trade, you can buy top players with profit.
In Efootball skills are far less viable and fluid because of the "realism" mechanics, and AI defending is far stronger, meaning if you come up against someone with a full epic squad, you are at a huge disadvantage, because unless you have played every week for 12+ months, your free squad simply won't be able to offset the massive disadvantage.
These days people build insane squads on fifa in 7 days.
Sad sad times, I quit EAFC because of it's heavily monetized P2w mechanics and AI defending, and now i've pretty much quit Efootball for the same reason. EF22 and launch day EF23 were less "polished" but were far more manual, which was so much more fun imo.
Reading your words hurts. Because it's pure honesty. Thwnke for taking your time and sharing your thoughts with us. I absolutely agree 🤝
@@mednasah It's a shame but I still enjoy your content and will continue to support you. I hope EFootball can start to create some meaningful content so youtubers like yourself can let your creative sides show, it must be had to come up with content when the game barely changes from year to year in terms of content or events.
Best tutorial 👍🏻
Best community 🔥
@@mednasah 🙏 fastest growing
This is disgusting, I noticed this also on co op when opponent stopped playing but hsi defenders shielded the ball like crazy, the other defenders covering for him. This shit needs to go.
I think it will get even worse bro...
Man like Mednasah 😉
🤜🤛
Nice work bro
Nice comment Habibi 🤜🤛
Thank you for the Video Med
Now if you play with 5 physical Defender at the Back and press nonstop on the call for pressure Button you become a Pro eFootball player.
Was never that easy to become a pro
@mednasah with 5 defender spamming call for pressure causes no gaps and with the last update it's enough that a physical defender touch your nimble Attacker to destroy your attack
Nice one 👍
🤜🤛
I think konami implemented ai defence to help the noob mobile players with op booster when i played against a noob mobile player with op double boosters the defenders is auto blocking the shots on goal and auto intercepting the ball now the ai defense is hard to break cause konami want players to keep playing and spend money on the game
Unfortunately true.
I would be interested if the AI defense also acts so well with LBC or possession play? I have the feeling that QC AI defense is more powerful bc they intercept more going in front of the strikers
@@stephanmuller2743 maybe I will test it in another video
Passes with no button. Repositions without input. Refuses to first time pass or first time shoot on press. Blocks like a ghost when pressing Match Up. The game feels more automated and out of your control than ever. Frustration building
I have doubt that they will ever fix it because this is what they want
Bro all manual switchers are depending on ai me also that's why scripting always affect more for mannual users😊
So if there is a script, it works only for manual actions. This what you say?
@@mednasah bro manual switchers depends on ai bro I'm using manual switching from 2017 cpu helped me so far.but some times they will be static players will enter our defensive wall like nothing 🤣🤣

Good Video Bro. The Defending is to Big at the moment nearly every Goal starts with a Tackle or a Interception is hard to Play out with passing even Striker has very strong Tackles like your 2 Goal. I Play now with 2 CM and 1 DMF focus on Winning Ball and Win most.
@@macsnipes5222 you're absolutely right bro
@@mednasah lets Play a CO-OP togheter

Man, this works only with cyborgs, my defenders stop running when ball is crossing his running path when I don't control defender. When I control them ball run through them legs. Konami change 2 things to bad one - interceptions and physical power with auto shield. This two changes ruin this game. At end of 2024 version game was the best since eFootball was released.
I always did it before 4.0 patch..
Especially when i was against "ping-pong" style opponent, either switching to goalkeeper or my counter target winger and AI do the defending stuff 😂
Haha nooo way 🥶
What are some ways to score against tough goalies such as Peter shesmical cech dida Casilas

good video yeah bro ebic cards very good with ai defense
Yes but the ai is op in general, not just with Epics.
Great! Brazil community 🇧🇷
Irmao tmj 👊
Speaking of AI, sometimes i see unbelievable performances of my opponent's goalkeeper, and i have no idea which stats of that GK made him do that crazy save.
maybe make us a video about attributes of a goalkeeper (awareness, reach, reflex, etc) and how to fine-tune them specifically for Short and tall keepers.
And also how does the reach/reflex/jump attributes works on the match.
Alot of us don't have cech/kahn/..., so we just customize nominating/highlight GKs just to have someone on the goal and make it to the 90 minutes 😅. That video i just talked about would be so crazy and helpful. Anytime such video comes out, I'm going to be the first watchin it 🥳 god bless u sir
Yes you are right, it is already in planing 🤜🤛
It is crazy indeed Medna with the AI. I think it is made like this to encourage pay to win. It works as you have some of the best players in game. Maybe make a team with players rated 88-90 each and do the same test out of curiosity. I think it will be a slightly different story
Yes, but it would work with Free to play players too. Probably not as crazy as with Epics, but it would 👍
@@mednasah I have a team called My worst players, I use it in Divisions, aprox. 2780-2800 team strength. Team gets improved when a new player replaces the 900th weakest player :) As u can imagine most opponents have +3100 strength. I tried last night for 2 hours and they do some interceptions, they never pass like in your video, but many times they can't be in the right place in the right time to do the interception, hence most of the time just run to get in the right spot. I think opposite players have higher attacking awareness vs my players weaker defensive awareness, hence opponent players usually get the ball first and have also a little more time to react. From minute 60-70 when stamina goes low they don't even run anymore, can't cover spaces. So, it does work, but in a much lower extent. I got with My worst players in Division 2 but I couldn't scratch my nose in any match :))) it's very hard for me to go in D1 with that team...against 3150+ teams my players seem like swimming :) Maybe u could, u're a better player.
I play with a Bayern Rtg team and have tested the AI defense. My defenders basically do nothing. They stand 5m away from their opponent and react very slowly to the attacker. After 1HT and 4 goals conceded, I started defending manually again.
Bro make a video on all showtime skills other than blitz curl...
Yes I will
Med they can improve servers instead of improving ai.
I'm absolutely with you 👍
Question for other noobs like me:
(I’m sorry it’s not very relevant to the video, but I don’t find any recent video of this RUclipsr talking about this)
-- as a noob, i find the jump from division 6 to division 5 really high.
From needing 0 points to stay up to needing 10 points to stay up.
Do you feel the same way? For me personally its demoralizing and I just stop playing after a few losses
Don't quit the game. I am alway teaching top 1k. So I can give you some tricks and feedback. That js the normal jump and the 10 points to stay up are not that hard. Meaning 3 wins at least. please reply this if tou wanna play and get some feedback.
Hi Med, i think your defense was aggressive and getting possession back because of quick counter play style. But even with this kind of things game getting noobly
You are right. But should the playstyle matter?
@mednasah you think it's isn't matter?
In this game you don't need to think crazy..
Or you don't have to think at all
COINAMI at it again!
At its best bro
I’ve had so many arguments with mobile players of this game about how this years Efootball is the most hand holding game Efootball we’ve ever had. So many of them couldn’t stop licking the boot and telling me it wasn’t.
Mobile players are single handedly ruining the game by allowing the devs to continue to do this. I barely touch the game now, it’s not worth the time or effort.
It's a mobile game. We are playing on concolse. This doesn't fit. And can't go on like this. I can understand you.
@@mednasah Yep, Mobile games are typically lower quality and the standards mobile players set for games are much lower than console/pc players, so they accept it. It's sad. I really hope Konami can take away some of the hand holding on console/pc versions.
Lol it’s so annoying when I’m playing against someone AFK and it’s harder to score against them than it was when they were controlling the players😭
I swear it's crazy!
I think you deserve 😂 That's not fair to score against someone AFK😅
@moosarastgoo what if they go AFK as a way of rage quitting, like they see that I’m 3-0 up so instead of quitting they make the process as long and painful as possible for me🤣

Auch mit Passlevel 1 oder 2 , man braucht nur x drücken ohne mit dem Stick Zielen zu müssen. Fast wie Auto Attack

Don't use it. Would kill the structure of your defense line

Hi med great video, what are the spec for your pc and how much it cost if I may ask. Not to be rude
Around 4k bro
That’s how I went down from conceding 9 a game to only 1. Stopped defending.
Sad…
The free Van Dijk I got from Konami is probably my best CB. And he’s performing the best when I don’t control him
I really wish Konami will bring a Clubs mode like FC.
That’s my favorite mode and in 11 v 11 no one can hide.
And, as much as you guys hate on eFootball. I’m saying with confidence it’s much closer to real football than FC
Hurtful truth.
Auto-tackling is the biggest issue with the gameplay.
It's to effective
@mednasah It shouldn't be in the game at all. The 0.9.x versions might have been buggy and unpolished, but at least they didn't have auto-tackling.
