Possession gameplay is useless in this gameplay model

[maxo_s]

Players are hiding behind oponnents DMFs, wingers are only staying - and they have big space to penetrate. My CMF are to close,very slow traping (heavy touch) and it ends with losing ball. I can conbine only with my defenders.
Plus big input delay,and with this style you are destroyed.

Possession game and quick counter or long counter are meta for div1 teams. especially if you can use one of them at one half and another strategy in the 2nd half and keep high team chemistry. Gameplay is bad in this game and I agree about the other things you said however what ur saying about possession teamstyle & gameplay being useless I dont agree

I played today 3 games(one vs CPU). It is not about playstyle,but about FORMATION. Classic 4-3-3 with wingers, 2x CMF 1x DMF ,2x full back is not functional. I created few chances,was losing 2-1,but I changed it to meta 4-3-3, 2xCF+SS play througt middle,because in this gameplay model wingers are totaly useless (not running into space).
Input dealy big,so try only one two pass!!! It is functional,I come back from 2-1 to 2-4.
Defending is joke,it is really BAD GAME.
I was blocking pass possibilities,but your player can not stop the ball,ball bounce back to opponnet,OR ball is going between legs.
Your defender is BEFORE opponent,BUT you can NOT win ball.
I AM DONE with online for a while,because I have only one short life.
I WON 2 online games,but I am agry!!!
Really bad football game. Fundament of this game is not good (input delay in MENU!!!),and Konami can not fix it. I lost hope,that konami can decrease input delay (because not optimal coding).

I’m always playing Possession along this two formations : 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 and also full assist with level 2 passing and level 1 shooting,working fine for me.

Yup, possession style got redundant after the Efootball 23 update. I used to use possession style as my main up until recent. I used to win a fair amount of matches with possession style, but after recent updates, that style of play got more & more difficult to win matches.

Quick counter is the best style to use. Its what most division 1 players use.

It's not, it's just that it demands you play differently and have player with good pass skills. You have to get in deep passing the ball around before you get a player to run behind the defence. If you play wide you will have to make a lot of crosses and play from the flanks. Counter attack football is what it is, your team will agressively move behind the enemy defence once they lose the ball.

You really have to think about this and adjust.

Whether they play possession, quick counter, wide or any play style, the players should be a little more versatile, otherwise the realism is lacking.

you know why? cause when you press the pass button the Ai auto tackles which never failes. all you have to do is hold the press button

1st div players are still lagging ,but they play like without delay. Do you know icardiii? One of them!!!

If you want strikers to run into space behind defenders they must have the incisive run capability, be aware of these things

Why people are still finding excuses? I want my WINGERS to penetrate free space,but they are glued to line+are deep ,even free space before him. Many of wingers have incisive run.
When support needed,players are running forward, when formation is 5-3-2, even playing possession football.
Plus BIG LAG and players are turning on place,or not reacting to near ball,bugged mess.
I tried FIFA when was free for weekend, input delay to SERVER 24 ms, smooth gameplay,sorry people, I can not excuse Konami.
