Seriously, konami needs to seriously nerf LBC
I am not against the playstyle but if you play LBC with two defensive fullbacks and put deepline on your two DMs then you are just a coward. Some LBC players are really good but a vast majority of them especially those in Div 1 depend majorly on the unreasonable compactness of their teams and the lack of movement of their players in their own half. When they dispossess you they don’t even try to hold the ball, their main focus is to string 2 passes and look for their striker and just play LBC. You have to hold the ball for a ridiculous amount of time before the LBC rat decides to second man press you. The ai barely moves their players. Now that pressing has been buffed even if they press, the ai covers their spaces for them. What’s even more annoying is that if you play possession your players don’t make themselves available for a pass because they are either hiding behind your opponent players or your opponent players are closely marking yours. You rarely meet a player in Div 1 who plays a coach with possession, QC or outwide. I don’t blame them because this game is fond of rewarding bad players.
