Quick free kicks +set piece bugs (Old Gen)

Product: EA SPORTS FC 24
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox Series X
What is your Gamertag/PSN ID/Switch ID?
Which mode has this happened in? Ultimate Team™
Which part of the mode? Squad Battles
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug? 09/29/2023
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) All the time
What is your time zone? ECT - GMT + 1:00
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start ANY match (Any gamemode) on the OLD GEN version on an Xbox Series X. Get fouled.
What happens when the bug occurs? When the foul happens, the player waits for a moment before being unable to take the quick free kick. A few seconds later the quick free kick is converted into a normal free kick.
What should be happening instead? Let the player take the quick free kick.


The now (non quick) free kick is also very difficult to make short passes to the closest player

There’s even more issues with free kicks offensively, especially when you use the now very weird and possibly redundant power free kick modifier. (That is L1 on PlayStation & LB on Xbox)


Players will sometimes also use their weaker foot when they are one of the secondary/tertiary free kick takers, very noticeable in skill games.

Even more set piece bugs: Players don’t have their signature penalty animations in Ultimate Team (Xbox One version, playing on Xbox Series X)


Hypermotion V shouldn’t be necessary to have a set of player specific animations.

In the practice arena, the ability to create a free kick with the D-Pad is unavailable: An QOL improvement would be appreciated.

Signature Free kick And signature penalty kick animations are unavailable for selection in pro clubs. (Xbox One version, On an Xbox Series X)

Thanks for reading all of my thoughts.
