Let’s improve the on the ball skill gap

Hey sloclap I am Lookaah otherwise known in the competitive community as Luka Peeks and I am a player from ballistic who just won the ReFed Elite cup and is considered at worst a top 8 team in the NA region. This post is going to be in regards to how after the release of season 4 on the ball creativity in the mid field will be extremely limited. The new update for season 4 will release a fake shot which will be good for midfield play to fake passes to create space if you already have a beat on a man (that’s the catch). But if you don’t have a beat on a man using a fake shot to pass will just lead to you getting tackled and that is because of the slide shot NERF that is in the season 4 update. You don’t slide as far as you used to and now to stop slide passes and shots all a defender will have to do will be dash in the direction they do their slide shot or fake shot in and tackle where they are. This will lead to a slow in pace of gameplay, which is NOT good for a game like rematch which claims to be an arcade style soccer game. It is not good because of the fact that rematch’s appeal is the potential for creativity and fast paced play thanks to the arcade style of ability’s on the ball but sloclap you already have nerfed dribbling to the ground and only players who think constantly can dribble with someone on them and not lose the ball in the midfield. That is because while you nerfed dribbling defending in the midfield was mostly untouched with the only changes being tackle hitboxes increased and aim assist on tackles being decreased. Combine that with the season 4 update making what has been the go to option in the competitive scene for passing if a man is marking you basically average at best (that’s generous) and you get a game that used to be fast paced that turns into slow set play rematch which isn’t enjoyable to play or watch and will make your game eventually lose players and money. In conclusion the best way to fix this game is to embrace the Arcade style.
