[Bug report] Whiffed shots & crosses

This only seems to happen on the Nintendo Switch platform.

This has been happening since the start of the gamecycle (since September 2023).

(Bug) most notably seems to happen with Playstyle+ for WhippedCross+, LongBall+ & FinesseShot+ playstyles.

The position of other players around the whiffed shot player does not seem to matter. Whether under pressure or completly alone, this bug occasionaly happens.

This whiffed shot/cross happens for both me and my opponents online. Visible to both.

It happens in any online & offline gamemode. This includes trainer mode (try shots on the training pitch). 

A whiffed shot/cross often results in missed big chances or loss of possession.

I'd say a rough estimate is that I visibly see this bug happening about once every two games. For either myself or my opponent.

Due to this bug, I completely stopped using Finesse shots, as they often result in whiffed shots, and thus missed chances.

EAFC24 on Nintendo Switch has no built-in recording program, hence getting clips is more challenging.

In video below, a 2nd player managed to score after player 1 whiffed the shot:

I cannot seem to replicate the reason of this whiffed shot behaviour. It does seem however that certain players whiff shots more often. For example tall players with low balance.

I've tried to search the forum, but could not find a relevant topic to add to. As this bug has been happening since the start of the gamecycle, this surprised me.

If I missed, please point me in the right direction.

    Same happens to me. I also play on Switch version. I really love finesse shots but I'm starting to hate them because of this bug.

    It happens since the start of this game in September...

  • I'll try to update this Bug Report with examples every now and then.

    The Nintendo Switch does not offer a recording feature out of the box, so the effort to get these videos is high. (Pause game, open replay, record with phone, upload video, share video)

    The quality of these videos will be low, but in my opinion still clear enough.

    First batch of videos:

    This happens to me all the time. At least once a game. I've noticed Finesse Shot+ is especially bad. Definitely the worst affected playstyle by this bug. It's honestly so frustrating and a disgrace that it's been a glitch since the game launched in September and it still hasn't been fixed.

    So, so, so disappointing from EA yet again.

  • I've also been experiencing this issue... Happens to players under 0 pressure and is very frustrating
