Black screen in champs, **bleep** ass game
What is wrong with this game, it is a multi billion pound company. i’m loading into my first champs game of the weekend and the opponents team doesn’t show. We go into the game and the whole screen is black, i can only see the mini map and the cursor above the players head. it stayed like this the whole game. I went into the next game and it did the same thing. sort your **bleep** out EA, money grabbing weirdosFeedback - Gameplay Integrity, Momentary Control Loss, and Engine Neutrality
Dear EA SPORTS FC Development Team, I am writing as a dedicated member of the competitive football gaming community to provide critical feedback concerning persistent issues that fundamentally compromise the integrity of skill-based gameplay: scripted momentum shifts and the instability of core mechanics. The Core Problem: Artificial Drama (Scripting/DDA) The game frequently exhibits moments where the underlying mechanics appear to favor goals during specific, non-random periods, particularly around the 45th and 90th minutes (plus injury time). This is not about the drama inherent in real football, but the perception that the game engine temporarily overrides player control and physics predictability to inject forced drama. This manifests in two deeply frustrating ways: Defensive AI Paralysis: In these crucial late-game moments, user-controlled defenders and goalkeepers often become momentarily unresponsive, misposition themselves, or fail to execute simple actions (like clearing the ball). Attacking Input Buffs: Conversely, the attacking team's passes become impossibly precise, shots defy physics, and the ball magnetically snaps back to the attacker during tackle attempts (the "rebound loop"). Instability of Core Mechanics: Dribbling and Passing Beyond the late-game momentum, the fundamental actions of playing football—dribbling and passing—suffer from constant inconsistency due to your ongoing tinkering and updates: Dribbling Fluidity: The feeling and responsiveness of player control while dribbling changes frequently with patches. This constant instability prevents players from mastering the subtle art of player movement and touch, as the mechanics they learned one month are often altered the next. We require a stable, predictable, and fluid model for close control. Passing Consistency: The inclusion of random, unpredictable elements designed to make passing harder feels detrimental to competitive play. We value skill in choosing the correct pass, angle, and power; however, the game frequently sabotages well-executed passes with random inaccuracies. Passing accuracy should be a direct, consistent reflection of player stats, input quality, and tactical situation, not a function of a hidden difficulty modifier. The Competitive Contradiction A truly competitive game must maintain a neutral and predictable physics engine from the first whistle to the last. We want the pressure of the 90th minute and the challenge of high-level dribbling to make us make mistakes, not for the game to force our AI-controlled players to fail or our controlled players to misfire. Our Request We urge the development team to prioritize the following: Engine Neutrality: Ensure the physics and AI behavior remain consistent regardless of the match time or score line. Eliminate coded "drama" spikes. Core Mechanic Stability: Define and commit to a stable, highly responsive model for dribbling and passing. Future updates should focus on balancing, not fundamentally altering, the core feel and consistency of player control. We believe that returning to a pure, skill-based foundation—one that rewards mastery of stable, predictable mechanics—is essential for the long-term health and integrity of EA SPORTS FC as an esport and a competitive title. Thank you for your time and consideration of this critical feedback. Sincerely, A Member of the EA SPORTS FC Competitive Community - amnesty457Ai defending is killing fc26
Who ever made the decision to increase the level of ai defending from the level it was at release needs to lose their job immediately. It is and has been the single worse decision and has been the worst "update" made to the game. The early access gameplay was the most enjoyable gameplay we had all year, even with the kick off and corner kick glitch.Remove Claudia Pinia
As much as I hate to say this, removal of the Claudia Pinia card from the game will improve a lot of people's experience on this game. I have lost more matches as a direct result of her. I remember playing a match were my opponent subbed off R9 to bring on Pinia, she went on to score 4 180 no scope low driven shots to win him the game 5-4. We all saw what happened at the pro live event, we've all seen random clips on insta and X. Something in her code is busted, she needs to be removed and fixed.Defending ever getting put in the game?!
The state of this game has gone beyond a joke. So many issues with gameplay but my main one is defending. I’ll admit I’ve never been the best at defending, but my god, there is absolutely no manual defending in this game whatsoever, standing tackles might as well not even exist as they just never connect, even though both of my cb’s have 88 stand tackle & bruiser base. Rumours are that they’re dumbing down defensive AI in the upcoming patch, what defensive AI? So many times I’ll be controlling the cdm but when the ball gets to their attacker my cb’s will just move in the god **bleep** opposite direction of the player with the ball instead of closing them down! if they do dumb down the AI then I hope they’ve done something to manual defending because it’s just not in the game at all. Absolutely farcical game.I can’t sell cards
How is possible that I’ve been 2 months with a bug that I can’t sell my UT cards and NO ONE DOES NOTHING.. The counter has been stuck on '24 hours' for over A MONTH. I need you to manually sync my market cap from the server because it doesn't reset automatically. I’m member of EA play, I bought the game and this is ruining my experience in the game . Please fix this, it’s hard t not quit the game when I try to talk to you for 2 MONTHS and the bug remains. I got the Nunez fc Pro card tradable, and I CANT GET THE MONEY, if this continues like this, I need Ea to give my money back, the y don’t care about people’s experience“One season, wonderful!” achievement.
Hello, I am experiencing a serious issue in EA Sports FC 25 during the Season Finale. I am unable to collect all the SP required to win the "One season, wonderful! Fully complete and unlock all levels in a Season Pass". A daily limit suddenly appeared without any prior notice, and I wasn’t aware of it. Afterwards, there was also an hourly limit, which again I didn’t know about. On the very first day there was no such restriction, so it was very strange that I first reached the daily limit and then the hourly limit. Could you please assist me in resolving this? Thank you in advance.
EAFC25 is genuinely the worst FIFA game ever on release
FIFA/FC games have always been buggy messes on release. The player base gets annoyed then moves on as things are slowly patched over a year but this is genuinely the worst experience I have ever had with a new FIFA. I’ve played every game since FIFA 12 and I’ve never felt genuinely scammed out of money this way. Both in terms of bugs, but also active choices/features that are so, so, so much worse than ever. Bugs: Career Mode: Horrific Menu lag All menu items other than match-related options disappearing on matchday Random crashing requiring restart Incorrect player valuation advice I.e ‘we think this player is worth 40-60m’ - make a 55m offer, rejected outright Genuinely, absolutely, ludicrously insane looking youth players New UI is just genuinely terrible and inaccessible, not a bug, just a bad new feature No player OVR development shown on squad hub AI kit selections clash more than ever making differences between you and opposition genuinely impossible to tell. UT: Menu lag Random crashing Game disconnected 1-0 up, left in purgatory with a loading screen afterwards indefinitely while it ‘determined a winner’ that then didn’t work and no outcome decided ‘My packs’ crashing and not showing anything more often than not Genuine regression on attacking AI with forwards having seemingly none of the good positional sense they had last year. Bounces at complete random times but always favouring the countering side (both me and opponents) in incredibly contrived ways. Jockey+second man press inputs lick your defender in place indefinitely Passing power seemingly completely randomised I genuinely feel robbed. I’ve never quit playing a new release this soon. I spend 90% of my time playing career mode, and it feels legitimately pointless to build for the future (the whole point of the game mode) when I know I’ll be playing with a team of people with no chins, lips like the Rolling Stones symbol, and eyebrows like the McDonald’s logo. I feel bad for the game devs that were clearly given 15 minutes and a packet of crisps to crank this out. I’m appalled and EA should be genuinely ashamed.
Ban appeal pending
I got a ban, I use PS5, and I’ve had this account since 2022 with no history of banning or warning, I have no idea why I’m banned. I have 2 cases already with these numbers (#217509325, #217483474) with “waiting on studio” status (I don’t understand what does this mean), I get emails that customer experience is working on my case, probably automated, yet I want to know for how long ! I wish I could communicate with a normal customer support not automated machine to guide me if i’m hacked for example, however I changed password recently! I had to refund preorder of eafc26 until I know that my case is solved. what does “waiting on studio” mean and how long it lasts?Never again
This is the last FC I will play. Will never buy your game again. It's the same **bleep** every year, you fix some errors or bugs in the game but then it still gets worse all the time? Everything runs slowly, completely unplayable. Still runs 12ms every match, uses cable and 1000/1000mbit. You guys are the worst at making football games. played your game since 2013, now that's enough.FC 25 AC lags
Hey guys. I know it is FC 26 time, but i still play FC 25. Or just want to play. I had the AC high cpu usage problem, but found a way to fix it earlier. But now i had to re-install everything and can't use that method anymore. I only want to play Career mode as ever earlier and makes me sick that cannot play the game smoothly because of the AC. Does anyone uses AC 07/11 or smthing?the game is so one sided in career mode and has no elements of fun anymore.
How is it possible to play a game (that’s meant to be fair) where you never win a tackle, because the ai does a skill past you or shields the ball (but you can’t do that becuase they make an inch perfect tackle - small or tall, strong or not - and win the ball back). That’s only one thing. The amount of heavy touches my players have in order for the ai to win the ball back is incredible. but the ai don’t get that, oh no they NEVER have that happen to them. Every touch for them is perfect, whether it be to turn past my player or to get past my entire defence. Defending is broken. My defenders CONSTANTLY drift to create a nice gap for the ai to run right through and score and there’s nothing i can do. i cant even switch the correct player to even try and get him back in the same position because the player switching mechanic is also broken. And how are the ai players all so fast. no matter how much pace they have, they are always 100% either going to catch up to my fit, pacer winger, or go on a run down the wing where not a single one of my players can catch him. 84 pace against 53 pace and yet the ai - who’s nearly dead come the end of the game - outpaces him still. It’s broken and pathetic. Will certainly not be buying fc26 until proven it’s been upgraded and actually works like a proper game - one a person can actually enjoy. Seen good things but still hasn’t changed my mind. They talk a good game every year but never change it and i believe next version will be no different. You’ve somehow managed to make a broken game even more broken, well done to you’s who make the game. SCAMMED OF £80. Thanks, EA.
Players using the “rubber band method” to stall FUT games
Hi, I’d like to report an issue that’s negatively affecting gameplay in FIFA Ultimate Team. Many players are using the “rubber band method” — where they tie a rubber band to their controller to trigger constant joystick movement. This prevents them from getting kicked for inactivity, even though they’ve clearly stopped playing. It’s especially frustrating when this happens early in a match. For example, I was winning 3–0 in the 15th minute, and instead of quitting, my opponent just activated the rubber band method and left their controller. I then had to sit through the rest of the match with no actual gameplay. This kind of behavior: Creates a boring and frustrating experience, Wastes time for players who are actually playing, And undermines the competitiveness of FUT matches. I’d love to see EA implement a smarter AFK detection system that identifies and disconnects players who are using this trick. Even a pattern of repeated, non-engaging inputs should be enough to trigger a warning or auto-forfeit. Thanks for your time — I’m sharing this feedback in the hope of improving the overall experience.
