Game play is awful and unplayable on ea fc 24

For the past 3 months my game play on ea fc has completely changed.it was fine at launch . The past 3 months unplayable . The game is now unplayable. Every online game i play like seasons and against friends . The game is either slow and I have no control, players don’t move they slow to react  . They don’t react when I press a button on my controller.The game won’t allow me to make tackles .players just stand there . I lose every game .as I can’t tackle.i press tackle it does nothing .my players are out of position all the time .defenders run in the midfield with out me controlling them . Every online game plays differently. If I make 100 tackles I win the ball maybe 10 times .its a joke now .i play call of duty and zero issues .i bought a new controller that’s not the problem .i got a new router last week ,and it worked well for two days . Since Sunday it’s been awful and unplayable again I  have turned off cross play and lots of other things . And the problems are still there .my internet never drops .i have a lan cable in my ps5 and the router is next to my ps5 . The engineer from my internet provider came to my house said its got a great connection. No other game does this apart from ea fc . As a fan I’m going to have to give up on this game.its unpleasant to play and a waste of my time . It has to be the servers causing the issue as my internet is very fast and never drops . I have uninstalled the game a few times then it works for a few games .then it happens again . It’s the worst ea game I have ever played . I wish I could get a refund .i have tried everything to fix the issues .it will work randomly for a game or two .then it starts again .players don’t run , cant tackle . Shoot wide . The opposition goal keeper saves everything. But my keeeper lets in everything. Defenders don’t tackle and run away from the ball . I press tackle button and the player put his arm out and doesn’t win the ball .its crazy to play .i have just tried it again .i can score last game .but cant make tackles . Ea please help me . I have bought your games since mega drive in the 90,s . This is not good enough. Fix this issue please

    Actually this game was awful for quite sometime because of all the overpowered cheap ways of scoring goals.

    The fact it has taken EA so long to nerf the trivela shot bewilders me.

    All in all though the game is much more balanced now and better to play in terms of thinking football and execution of football.

    The game is in a better state now than it was especially before the end of November where stupid video game tactics won over actually people who think football.

    Like that stupid 71 depth lark that was aiding people with no skill. And stupid pressure with 3 players surrounding you all game. - Its now so much better.

    So the game is now better massively. And as far as responsiveness goes there must be other issues for other users because Seasons mostly plays fine when an opponent isn't a million miles away.

    well...the only thing that can be done and control, stop playing it and that is it.
    Although is frustrating, paying some money for a product and being so frustrated at the end.

  • I can identify with this issue. I find the old gen version of the game more playable than the new gen. I switch between tne two occasionally just to get the contrast. Give it a try if you haven’t already.

    ...the gameplay – or lack thereof... EAFC 24 seems to have been designed by someone who has never played a video game in their life.

    The controls are clunky, unresponsive, and seem to have a mind of their own. Attempting to perform even the simplest maneuvers feels like wrestling, leaving you more frustrated than entertained.

    ....But wait, it gets worse! The support for this game is practically nonexistent. Attempting to reach out for help is like shouting into the void – no response, no acknowledgment, just utter silence and unusfel links.

    It's almost impressive how you manage to combine terrible gameplay with this type of customer support to create a perfect storm of disappointment.

    I have never played a game with so many things wrong with it. We'll be getting ready for FC25 soon and all of the updates they've produced for this one haven't even scratched the surface.

    Refereeing needs to be sorted out big time, career ending tackles are fine but a nudge is a free kick. I don't think EA know what "clean through" means. It's not a red card offence for a defender if the defender has the ball and the attacker tackles, ends up on the floor with the defender still having possession of the ball.

    Offsides, why isn't game play isn't stopped as soon as the offside offence is committed? There's been times where I have not noticed the offside flag at the bottom of the screen and thought I was just onside, and after playing the pass I take another few touches, just about to score,  then it gets stopped for being offside. Also, I've seen some offside passes that should have been flagged for offside and nothing happens, play continues.

    Advantage usually isn't advantage, sometimes it'll say advantage, then a second later the advantage period is over and sometimes it feels the advantage period lasts a lot longer. Also, if your player is through on goal during advantage all the opponent needs to do is tackle another one of your players and play gets pulled right back for a free kick, so you end up in a worse position.

    Some games I can play really fluid football and others my players feel really sluggish, hit shots wide that would have gone in any other time etc

    Defence is non existant. I've never seen a football match in real life where one team is leading 6-1 at half time and goes on to lose the game 7-6. It's like the second half my players have stayed in the dressing room and my opponents team is playing like super heroes

    I totally agree with you . Every day it gets worst . I have tried everything. I even went on ea chat and they said delete the game .i even got a new router .the game is broken and so is there servers . I wish I could play the game again . I don’t think this will happen as it’s pointless playing when you can’t do anything. 

  • I'm happy i stumbled upon this cause I was starting to loose my find over why my game was feeling this exact way you're describing.

    I have a PS5 aswell with wired connection and great internet, and to be honest it doesn't matter at what time I play anyore, my players always feel clunky and unable to make turns.

    They don't tackle and it feels shambolic to honest.

    I've tried every gamemode and its the same no matter the gamemode for me, even offline its the same thing.

    I hope to be able to play this game once more, but for now I have to find another game to play sadly.

    I've tried different setting even on the PS5 and my monitor, but its still the same issue.

    And it started to become this bad after TOTY for my I would say, horrible horrible.
