EA FC 24 pros overjoyed as devs ban 3 & 5-back formations EA SPORTSElectronic Arts has stepped in and banned all professional EA FC 24 players from using 3 and 5-back formations at competitive tournaments amidst concerns about their overall strength. FIFA 23 saw the rise of 5-back formations in pro play. This was because it was possible to effectively have nine attackers and nine defenders by making smart use of the in-game instructions. The result was several incredibly strong tactics that were great going forward but also had very few holes defensively. It was hard to break down and was not an overly popular meta amongst pro players or viewers. They were extremely strong and became the most prominent formations among professional players. Heading into EA FC 24 there were concerns the same would happen again but EA has stepped in. EA FC 24 pros forced to play 4-back formations in future tournaments Following concerns that both 3 and 5-back formations were too strong in EA FC 24, the sports game\u2019s developer has stepped in and banned them from professional play. This was confirmed by EAFC 24 News who tweeted: \u201cEA have BANNED all 5-back and 3-back formations in pro tournaments!\u201d The reaction from the pro community has been overwhelmingly positive. These formations have caused issues in pro play as they are exploitable with it being possible to create both a lethal attacking and almost unbeatable defensive setup if you understand their intricacies. \u201cEA decided to ban all 3 and 5 back formations for the upcoming tournaments. Biggest dub in a long time! Big Big W,\u201d Ollelito posted reacting to the news. FUTWIZ player Tom Stokes was equally pleased: \u201cEA have banned all 3 and 5 back formations from upcoming tournaments, phenomenal scenes after that 541 disgrace we\u2019ve been seeing for the last 12 months\u2026\u201d \u201cEA SPORTS has just banned 5 and 3 back formations from the competitive scene. It\u2019s time to start flipping burgers for half the PRO scene. Big step in the right direction. Massive W EA,\u201d 2020 eMLS Cup Champion George Adamou expressed on Twitter. The result of the ban is that 5-2-2-1, 5-2-3, 5-4-1, 5-1-2-2, 3-5-2, 3-4-1-2-, 3-4-2-1, 3-1-4-2, and 3-4-3 are all no longer an option for EA FC 24 pro players. Those reliant on such setups will be forced to go back to the drawing board and come up with a new tactic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
