What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) 00:00 AM
What is your time zone? GMT (UTC)
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play any EAFC gamemode on Nintendo Switch. Try Finesse Shots, Long Balls & Whipped Crosses. About 1-5% of these shots completely whiff. The player misses the ball completely. Most notably seems to happen with players who have the Playstyle+ variant.
What happens when the bug occurs? Controlled player misses the ball while performing a shot or cross action, resulting in the ball rolling a few feet away from the player.
What should be happening instead? Player should always hit the ball.
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. (In attached video, a 2nd player managed to score after player 1 whiffed the shot)
EAFC24 on Nintendo Switch has no built-in recording program, hence getting clips is more challenging.
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.
