PS5 Authentic Mode – Sudden Player Speed Fluctuations

Hi Darko,

Thanks for the reply.

This issue isn’t something that happens occasionally — it permanently changed after a certain update. The Authentic mode used to feel perfect and realistic, but ever since one of the following live tunings or small updates, the gameplay has never felt the same again.

The best version of Authentic mode was around late October, right after the first Live Tuning Update. Everything felt smooth, realistic, and balanced — ball control, player movement, and tempo were all perfect at that time.

Since that update, something has clearly changed. Players now move too fast, dribbling feels exaggerated, and the whole gameplay balance is off.

And honestly, if we have to manually tweak sliders or settings to make it feel right again, then what’s the point of having an “Authentic” mode? It was supposed to deliver that perfect balance automatically — that’s what made it so enjoyable.

So it’s not a one-day issue; it’s been consistently different since that patch. I can share the dates and examples if that helps more than a video.

Thanks for checking this — I really hope the gameplay can go back to how it was before.
