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.
Restrictive Matchmaking in Online Seasons
Hi, Can anyone playing the ea fc 25 beta please let us know if restrictive matchmaking works in Online Seasons? If i pick a 4 star team, will the game give me games with 5 star teams like Man City, Real Madrid, Liverpool? If restrictive matchmaking works, it should not. There are many Online Seasons players who are extremely annoyed that restrictive matchmaking did not work in EA FC 24. Despite us raising the issue on this forum and with the developers, we were ignored and treated like trash. We therefore do not want to spend 90 euros for it not to work again. Can someone please be kind enough to test it out and let us know? Thank you very much.
AFK Players in Rush EAFC25 FC 25
Hi EA, There is a serious problem with AFK players in RUSH who are clearly there to collect the points for the rewards. This is ruining the game experience for others who want to play. It is impossible to play 2 v 4 with your two team mates spinning round in circles in the opposition's half. Not only do they do nothing, they can be offside if the ball goes forward. If you can detect and kick people for non activity then this needs to be in RUSH asap or you need to give the option for vote to kick AFK players - I get that people rubber banding might bypass the system but surely someone can code for repetitive movement too?? It's utterly ruining the whole point of RUSH which should be an exciting new mode.
[PC] FC 25 is full of cheaters
Hello, There are serious issues with cheaters in FC 25 that need to be addressed immediately. The current anti-cheat system is not effective. There are two main types of cheaters: One type causes a glitch right after kickoff (less urgent, as it doesn’t always result in a loss, except in draft mode). The other type makes players unable to sprint at all or move properly, as if their stats are reduced to 1. This one needs to be fixed as soon as possible. You cannot let millions of players loose coins and Fifa points because of cheaters, it's your duty to fix it now. In attachment, you will find a video to help you identify the problem. [Removed - EA_Barry] Thank you
Icon/Hero Pack Compensation Missing
I opened the supposed 'Icon pack' last week, just like many others did. The description clearly state Icon both times but whilst others in the community have received icon packs as compensation, I haven't. Not sure why but I see many other users complain they didnt receive the compensation either. Any help would be appreciated! ThanksPatch This Game ASAP!
I'm about to go on a tirade about a couple of things. I won't swear, I won't personally attack anyone despite that this was probably still get deleted. Last year's game was lit up, not only in these forums but various other platforms for the various problems that plagued it such as passing, A.I. defending, attacking A.I. etc. In the marketing this year you did say you would address these issues yet you haven't & you won't either. This game is already worse than last years game: *** Attackers don't move, don't follow the play, stand still, glide offside, don't provide support, get completely marked out with crosses, corners, through balls, get outran despite having 20+ pace difference, it's like this every single game. To the point where nearly every game there's only 1 primary way of scoring: Through some sort of defensive press whether it's an A.I. interception high up the pitch, an attacker sprinting full speed into you which causes your defenders to completely freeze on the spot as the ball bobbles past them. This morning I'm playing out multiple 0-0, 1-0 type games because NOBODY CAN CREATE OPPORTUNITES. The defense less then 2 weeks into the game play like TOTY players whilst attackers, midfielders stand around all game. **** Not having any sort of recovery time on mistimed tackles, not having some form of inertia when they over run a tackle, not having a proper stamina system destroys the tactical side of the game. These defenders seem to be able to burst instantly off the line at full speed and stop everything you attempt. They barely lose any momentum when missing tackles too. And even if they do the defensive A.I. will sprint in out of nowhere and win the ball back for my opponent. **** Dribbling is too slow, ball recovery time is too slow, players who supposedly have high agility are too slow at picking the ball up and moving forward to begin an attacking phase. These defenders because of the low recovery time on missed tackles will just instantly sprint back and regain possession with a tackle from behind. Not even defenders, attackers with low defensive stats are to able to do this. I'm EVO'ing up Brugts from Barcelona, she has 27 Defending and was out muscling, tackling my opponents attackers yesterday. **** Long through balls once again need to be nerfed. Why is short passing so cumber sum in this game but hitting some hail mary 40 yard ground pass from the edge of your box onto an attacker is much easier. It just makes no sense. **** GK movement is completely frustrating when combined with these low block, auto-blocking A.I. defenses that you come up against EVERY SINGLE GAME. **** Ultimately being about to copy and paste generic pro-tactics have made this game a brutal slog as now everyone just plays the same way! There's no individuality. The attack in this game desperately needs to be addressed, as does A.I. defending & passing. I want to mention a few bugs I've noticed too: ***** When opening a pack with a loan player, If you pick the loan then to try to search the price of a random player, it will glitch and show some other players price. The cards will swap, so you think you'll be discarding say 2 informs, you'll discard them & check your club, 1 will be discarded the other will be there and the loan had been discarded. Despite in the player grouping the loan not being put into the discard section. ***** Can you fix the clashing kits. Every time I choose a black or a white kit I end matching against a clashing kit. I know I can choose myself, however sometimes you forget and you get punished for it. ***** The duplicate storage is glitched. I have Muriel & Werner dupes. I add them to an SBC, Submit and get kicked out the game. Try to discard them. Get kicked out the game. This is all.
Worst Fifa game since 1996
I've been playing FIFA since '96 now that I'm 36, I can say this is the worst football game I've ever played. There's nothing related to football, it's complete chaos and a reckless street match. The ball changes sides every 2 seconds, as if it's not 11 vs 11 but 20 vs 20. There's no space on the field, the players are like conjoined twins, constantly tackling—count the seconds, there's a tackle every 2 seconds. It's like a ping-pong match, going back and forth. That's why you're forced to constantly do tiki-taka, and the game feels like a 100-man street fight. The biggest innovation in the trailer was supposed to be custom tactics, but it's a complete lie. There’s nothing new or different in terms of tactics. The graphics shocked me too—day matches, which were my favorite for years, now have such a terrible and artificial lighting that it looks like a mobile game. Except for ultra-close-ups, the grass has no texture, it looks like paper. I've been a FIFA fan for years, but I've never trashed a FIFA game this much in my life. I only bought it for Pro Club because of my friends, but every penny I spent feels wastedPOV Camera Needs Removing!!
This absolutely HAS TO GO!! It kills the immersion & isnt realistic in the slightest! It's up there with removing the pre-match intros! It has no place anywhere in the game other than Player Career!! (Same with HyperMotion Replays! If they're not in real life broadcasts i don't want to see them in game!) PLEASE add the following Toggle for this ASAP: On/Off/Player Career Only 🙏🏼
