Bro this Division 4 PvP match was pain fr 🙂🤦 I went in thinking I could get 3 points easy but nah, I got smoked 4-0 and it was one of those games where nothing just worked. From kickoff my opponent was pressing me with Dash & Pressure and I couldn’t even string 3 passes together. I was using my G! team and had Gerrard, Valverde, Rooney all in there but they were playing like they forgot how to kick ball. First goal came around 55 minutes and after that it just fell apart. I kept telling myself "calm down" but the more I tried the worse it got.
The first goal was annoying because it came from a set piece situation. I saw SCM 1-0 G on the screen and my guy Steven Gerrard was just standing there in midfield watching. I tried to switch and close down but my defense was slow. The opponent kept pinging through balls and my backline with Van Dijk and Akanji was getting cooked. Every time I pressed Tackle I either missed or my player ran the wrong way. You know that feeling when your fingers are doing everything but the players on screen are just not listening? That was me the whole first half. Even when I won the ball back I gave it away 2 seconds later.
Second half started and I told myself "just get one goal back" but it only got worse. 4-0 final score and every goal felt the same. He’d pass around me, find space on the wings, and then cut inside. My GK Donnarumma was diving everywhere but the shots were too clean. I had chances too with Messi and Neymar but I kept skying them or hitting the keeper. The controls felt heavy and I kept misclicking Pass instead of Through. At 60 minutes I was already mentally checked out but still had to finish the game. I even started making subs I didn’t need just to waste time.
What made it more annoying is that the guy wasn’t even doing anything crazy. Just basic possession and counter. I tried to play fast and rushed everything. You could see it in the gameplay, my players were out of position, midfield was empty, and every time I lost the ball he punished me. I even subbed El-Hadji Diouf and Frank Lampard in hoping for magic but nothing changed. Division 4 is not AI, these PvP guys actually know how to play and I got exposed bad. The worst part was watching the replay and seeing how open my defense was every single time.
Ended the match 4-0 and I just closed the app immediately 😂 My rank didn’t drop too much but my pride did. Sat there for like 5 minutes just staring at the results screen before I could even queue again. Gotta go back to training mode and work on my defending because getting pressed like that in Division 4 is not it. Lesson learned: don’t try to rush against real players and actually use Match-up instead of spamming Dash. Next match I’m coming back better and I’m not playing angry again.
