Unable to Sprint in Career Mode Matches
Product: EA SPORTS FC 25 Platform:Xbox Series X Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox Series X What is your Gamertag/PSN ID/Switch ID? wotcher123 Which mode has this happened in? Career Mode Which part of the mode? Player Career How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%) Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? How would I know? It’s your job to find out what’s going on, or why. It was your job in the first place to make sure these things rarely happen. What happens when the bug occurs? I get angry and feel the sudden urge to be violent and destructive. Wait, you mean in the game? Same. What should be happening instead? Normal gameplay. I thought I’d never get to say this, but this is worse than FC 24. At least 24’s basic functionalities were functioning. How do you expect me to play this game and to experience all of those your sugar-coated advertisement of exaggerated copy-and-pasted nonsense when the most basic stuff isn’t working properly? In Player Career Mode, during match, my player can’t sprint as if they are suppressed by the mediocre coding of your game. When they aren’t sprint, it doesn’t mean they are jogging. They just casually fast-walking. It gets worse even with the ball. Even that fast-walking is reduced to 30%, and it’s painfully slow. I tried everything. Changed settings, changed sliders, even started various new files, but none fixed this problem. It’s simple. It’s basic sprinting. Without it, this game is LITERALLY unplayable. How come you guys sit around your comfy desks doing nothing then release this pathetic excuse of a football game. How do you expect me to experience your glorified ‘new’ features when I can’t simply RUN. Do you guys know why sprinting is such important in football games? See, I have to RUN to chase the ball. I have to RUN to get into defensive positions. I have to RUN to make an attack. I do hope, in the closet time, you guys fix this most basic game-breaking problem. PLEASE.
Fc 25 career mode faults!!!
Fc25 faults Training plans are in affective as players don’t reach full fitness/sharpness when setting it to full. Tried manually aswell and it’s the same outcome! Tactical plans are completely broke as they change your players positions for instance your cm will go to rm when changing in between with/without the ball menus?!?! No goal stats for the season when your player scores a goal (prem) It doesn’t tell you how many levels your player has evolved/decreased over a season?!??!?!?!? so you have to take a picture at the start of the season to know…. MENTAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When you’ve put all this great work into the youth academy changes there is no way of knowing how many levels they have evolved in a season, basic stuff!!!!!!!! In the media menus it doesn’t tell you who wins the player of the month award, it just tells you who’s up for it. I’ve noticed that in the pre kick off game animations formation my players (my wingers) are in the wrong position being that my lw is shown as a rw and my lw shown as a rw It doesn’t tell you in your emails/notifications when you receive a transfer request?! This means you miss out massively selling/loaning players!!!
FC 25 PRO CLUBS BUGS.
ATTENTION EA, PLEASE READ. ALL known GLITCHES with FC 25 pro clubs: 1. Playing as any and CAM will often start your pro in LB/LWB, and an ai LM/RM in CAM. 2. Playing a back 5 formation will start an ai LB/RB in CB and generally many ai players in wrong position, such as an ai LM in cm. 3. Changing the preferred foot of customisable ai players does not correspond in game. Within a game, ai players have a different preferred foot to the one you chose and as stated on the menu’s. For example, left footed right back. 4. Customising AI player faces within a club does not correspond in game. Many customised AI faces revert back to a kind of default looking Asian face despite how it has been modified and appears in the menu’s. 5. When matching with another team whether through divisions of friendlies, a player is often unable to make it to the opponent found page and is locked out, forcing the team to play without one of their players. 6. Large majority of PC players utilise cheats, such as making the AI players in their club 99 rated, with more than two gold + traits … there will be more but these are what I’ve experienced, pictures available to help showcase problems if needed.
Fc 25 Youth Academy
Hey fc, in career mode & in particular the youth academy, a lot of newly scouted players will have exactly the same type of face I.e the eyebrows are always pointed down with an alien shaped head. It’s like playing a team that are all clones. & also scouting a Target forward specifically wanting someone who can head the ball being a striker, their Head- accuracy is near rated 10 while others are way higher. This is also the same with a goalkeeper, their diving is between 1-15 whereas their kicking is 55-60. and lastly is it correct that no youth player scouted is higher overall than a 65 or so as it’s virtually impossible to scout a proper wonder kid. Thank you, looking forward to future updates, keep up the good work. Definitely great steps being taken in career mode this year.
EA FC 25 unable to save formation for career mode
Had tried to change formation and tactic in setting to use in player career mode but everyime I tried to start new player career mode my custom formation is not availble but only being stuck with ea's default formation. Had tried to delete the default formation but seems the issue remains.Please let us add/train playstyles in Career Mode
I love the introduction of playstyles, but it can be so much better if we can add them/train players to obtain them. Playstyles are such an important aspect of the game and it is extremely disappointing that we can’t train our players to have playstyles/playstyle+. In FC24 we had the playstyle training glitch and it was one of them best features in the game (adding playstyles to any players). I played FC24 more than any other FIFA because of this glitch. I sincerely hope EA find a way to add the ability for players to obtain playstyles and playstyle+ in the future.Help Us Enhance AI Players in Clubs

FC 25 Youth Academy Fixes
As a long-term FIFA faithful since the days of yore (circa FIFA 97), EA, I beg you, the Youth Academy is broken and it needs fixed. 4 small fixes that will result in a huge impact for those of us on Career Mode. Fix attribute bug (low heading, diving, etc) Allow us to edit the faces (and names) of Cranium players within Career Mode. Allow players to grow/change physically up til the age of 21 Expand the naming pools for newly added nations Yours sincerely, Career Mode Mains
Be careful! Crazy new save system for career!
I just want to warn everyone playing manager career of the stupid, horrible and absolutely unnecesary new save system they created. I didnt know about it until it was late. The game now forcefully autosaves your manual saves and for example even if you quit the game and select "quit without saving" the game still autosaves your manual saves and overwrite it. I saved the game manually, then wanted to test some sliders and stuff and i jumped forward few games, messed with settings etc and then i quit the game and wanted to load the manual save and contine playing for real with settings i tuned in the testing only to discover the save is gone and overwritten by the autosave. There are now two special types of saves, one whole new area called control points, where it says it wont overwrite your saves, but if you save there, you dont see date, time, nothing so you can just guess which one to load. Absolutely crazy messy system, i am playing games for more than 30 years and i have never seen anything so weird. So always save two times when you want to save the game, once, and then again second time immediately on another slot, so the autosaves ruin the second slot and the first (should) be ok.
Career Mode - Can't change player position to CDM
Thought that maybe I couldn't change a certain player, but it's with most players. From the development section, to change any player position to CDM isn't an option, it works sometimes if the players have it as a secondary position and on some central midfielders, but it won't appear for most other players. But every other position does appear so it's not a matter of you can't change a fullback into a CDM, when I have the option to change them to striker. Not sure if it's a bug or some other issueThings for title update 4
Here are some of the things which need to be fixed in title update 4. Hope for it soon, last year it was on 26th of October: - still a lot of ugly youth player faces, especially eyebrows and noses - still a lot of female players in men’s youth academy. I think the most of them are goalkeepers - youth academy players need a facial growth or we get the chance to customize generic players in regard to hairs, beards and eyebrows - no emails for transfer offers when you turn off the first transfer window - there are no training plans to increase free kick or curve - why we only can scout 4 positions? The worst one is goalkeeper because then you only can scout one position, just stupid - you can’t see player values during negotiations - in interviews there could be a few more general questions, not only for different players - still some weird social media posts I think all of you have some more things which could be fixed. Let me and EA know. @EA_LeonSK @EA_Mako @EA_Pulsar @EA_PythiaA LOT of (Player) Career Mode Bugs
So first of all, I want to say, EA big SHAME on you guys for making us take the time out of our days, to complain on this forum about bugs from your games and your broken promises, just for you guys to clearly do NOTHING about it whatsoever. I am really angry with you guys, as a loyal customer who bought multiple games from you every year since 2013. Every issue, I tested on my PC, my laptop and PS5 and they all occur on all devices... So what are the bugs I want to talk about? Let's see a shortlist: - R1/RB to make AI teammates contain is bugged; - Can't hear the referee whistle; - NO pre-match cutscenes, like the fans or match intro; - Slow and confusing menu; - Bugged social media comments; - Other lost features which we want back. So first, we have to talk about the R1/RB issue because it is making the game completely UNPLAYABLE, quite literally. I have had to adjust my entire playstyle, just for this f***ing issue. Whenever walking and holding R1/RB to make your AI teammates actually "do something", the game locks my player's controls. So whenever I hold R1/RB, but let go of the left movement joystick on my controller, the player keeps walking in the direction I was walking in before touching the R1/RB button. I literally have to stand still around the middle of the field when using the contain option, and that is RIDICULOUS. This happens whenever you lock youself to a player, or any game mode where you play with AI teammates. FIX IT!! In literally every game, and I am in season 4 now, I have never hear the referee whistle correctly. At half time, full time, start of the match or any event like a foul whatsoever, I still do not hear any whistling coming from the referee. Out of the blue, it is half time if I do not watch the gameclock. It's absolutely insane that a football game has no whistling from the referee... Also, the false advertisement thing. Yeah, EA, you promised us the "Full presentation package" for ALL modes, not just SOME modes! I literally have the setting set to "Always" show the intro, but yet, only men's manager career gets the "Full presentation package". WHY? People who play Player career mode literally want the thrill of stepping onto the pitch to experience the atmosphere, yet we only get the in-game challenges and you f*** off into the match directly. There are 2 big posts about this with 30+ people out of thousands who decide to take action and yet no response or acknowledgement from EA. We literally had to BEG you all year long last year when you removed this feature completely from FC 24, but here we are again, BEGGING... Now let's talk about this confusing menu lay-out. Whoever did this, clearly is no Player career mode enjoyer at all. This new menu looks really nice and all, but it is HORRIBLE. Why do I have to check the squad list at the "Season" tab? I literally spent 10 minutes trying to find this when I first played this game. Also, sometimes the menu is really slow to respond. Sometimes I have to press a button 2 or 3 times. For example: When saving the game, when wanting to start the match but the other objectives are going away, etc... The social media option is something I am really happy with. I can look through the bugged comments and the repetetive comments, but I'd still like to get this to your attention. And there are a lot of features, which would be great and which WERE great, before you removed all of them. I can not even look at a player's profile when I read about them in the news, or social media posts nowadays. Also what would be great, just like in NBA 2k, that you have a chemistry meter with your teammates, instead of only just the manager. Also player career interviews would be realistic and a good feature, which after YEARS you never implemented even though we ask for it literally every year. The only thing what you can do in player career, is watch repetetive news, cutscenes, games, seasons, buy the same stuff over again, and that's it. The player background stories, which you have to choose or customize at the start of your career, have literally no influence on the gameplay or the entire mode, whatsoever. Also, what happened to the tattoos? I know there was not a lot of variety, but for some people these tattoos matter. Why bother adding it only to FC24 player career, but remove it in the next game (FC 25)? EA, PLEASE for once, take your responsibility and adress us, your customers, about this. Lots of people have complained about this, but you have done NOTHING so far to better yourselves, your products and our experience. This proves you're NOT listening to the community, since you have not even properly communicated with us about our issues so far. I, and the entire community of hundres/thousands of players, expect answers, fixes and VALUE FOR OUR MONEY! I am really thinking of seperating my ties with EA, my EA Play Pro subscription and their games if they do not properly respect us. The only people you respect, is the people who are stupid enough to keep buying FC points for Ultimate Team... We as the community might have to look for some other alternatives or desperate measures if you do not deliver us a proper product which is not an even emptier copy of the previous game, EACH YEAR!

Hi, We are a team with friends from Europe and Southern Asia and are in Elite Division. And irrespective of the division, we see an issue to find a game if we are 3-4 people (From Europe and Southern Asia) in the lobby. We need to spend hours in the lobby not finding a game. But with 2 or more than 4 in the lobby we find games in seconds. When the same 4 tries RUSH or Pro Clubs Drop ins, it works fine. But not in the Pro Clubs League/Play Offs. We spent lot on the game and end up with these isn't fair. We would like to see a fix on this from EA.Growth of Youth Players
First of all I am very happy that title update 3 finally released on all platforms. Player models and names of youth players are better, still some ugly guys left, but that’s realistic. It is very good, that they are looking young at the beginning, but they really have to grow up!!! The must look older when they are 25 and getting beards for example. There EA has to do something!! What are your thoughts about that??
Why is my pro clubs ai defending and passing so bad?
My AI defence is so bad every game, while my opponents are really solid, they refuse to tackle the ball, keep missing passes to other AIs, get caught out of position all the time even though i tell them to stay back while attacking and pass directly to the other team. I've tried different tactics, I'm currently running 4-2-3-1 attacking and they suck, it's completely unplayable. PS. they also seem to for some reason do 180's every time I call for a pass and then most of the time they straight up ignore me and then lose the ballJourneyman - AAB - A new start
So that is it then. I have been interviewed and hired as the new boss for Denmark team AAB. They are a historic team who will be my first foray into management. July 2024 I have evaluated the squad and found we were lacking quality in midfield and lacked any pace at all at centre half. Due to the size of the club and only having 2 million in the budget my main aim is to sign players we can develop at the club to make profit on by selling to the bigger leagues. If we can have this at the foundation of what we do as a football club then we would be in a good position. We sold ageing striker Helenius for £560k as he was in the final year of his contract. We then loaned in Leicester’s Opoku to replace him. We also loaned out young left back Amankwah to gain much needed experience at Mjallby AIF. Our other business in the window prior to the first game has been to sign 16 year old Idris Said from Kobenhavn after they released him from their academy. Let it be ‘said’ he may have a big role to play in the future.
