This is a very common situation which many players of this game franchise has experienced, but I m feeling forced to point it out in a written statement here, where any DEV of this game shall take it into consideration to fix it.
May I point out the rule of the backpass in football by including a passage from Wikipedia:
"Goalkeepers are allowed to handle the ball if the ball is played back to them by an action other than a kick or throw-in (such as a header), but defenders are not permitted to attempt to use a deliberate trick to pass the ball to the goalkeeper with a part of the body other than the foot to circumvent the rule. This would include flicking the ball up with the foot and then heading the ball back to the goalkeeper, or heading a ball on the ground that would otherwise be regularly playable with the foot."
The bold written part of this passage is the main key what i wanted to point out: this should NOT work in game - which by the way does for years. The amount of times players can abuse it to save time and keep on possession is something that drove me to publish this report to the community and DEVS of this game. In the name of the community of EAFC24 (and past FIFA gamers), we would like to have this resolved in a proper manner.
