Gameplay issues that need to be fixed

The dev team has done a poor job with recent updates, breaking more than they have fixed. Here are some of the worst issues plaguing the game.

- Gameplay and player movement is slow and sluggish, players are non responsive and movement is very inconsistent. This makes it feel like there is non stop input lag.

- Passing is far too slow, which means the game is just frustrating to play. Even with these slow passes the players struggle to control the ball,and their initial tough slows them down far far too much.

- Players don’t respond to loose balls or actively walk away from them. This seems to be EA’s way of increasing difficulty, but it’s just frustrating when your active player is running into invisible barriers to keep them away from the ball.

- Ai is able to tackle through players legs, literally clipping through. This doesn’t just looks silly it means the core gameplay mechanics of protecting the ball with the l2 button is completely broken.

- Ai intercepts balls at far to big a range, makes it look laughable at times.

- players no longer react to crosses and run far beyond them, frequently my striker ends up in the opponents goal.  This is again just pathetic, it was working before this latest update. Now players run far to deep and clearly don’t respond to the flight path of the ball. This could be a result of the passing speed being so incredibly low that the players outrun the ball.

- Ai can instantly tackle the ball back when they have been tackled… they just skip part of the animation and go into a tackle animation. Looks silly and is detrimental to gameplay.

- passing and movement speed ridiculously low.

- Goalies not holding onto very soft shots but instead giving away silly rebounds.

- Far too many clipping issues with both the ball and players legs. Sometimes the players legs will even clip through their other leg. Very often the ball clips through players feet.

Really this is just the tip of the iceberg. I would almost think the devs are making the game bad on purpose to keep people buying fut packs because the meta changes with these “updates”. 

The gameplay changes made by the dev team have been shamefully bad, and at this point there really needs to be some changes made, because this is borderline cynical towards the customers who bought the game.

  • I think it’s to fast. Would be nice if offense was manual. You can whip cross field passes with to much accuracy.  The game is to much about pace.  Need to slow it down make it more realistic and make people use manual offense at least online.

    @RadioShaqs What are you playing on? I’m on Xbox series x and it’s so slow… so I’m wondering if you are on last gen or pc?

    Ps5. I usually play fut and it’s all about pace and ping pong passing. The most common examples are 4321 use one back on stay back whip a perfect pass cross field that is almost never intercepted then pace down the wing past all the defenders. Then do a driven pass across goal for easy tap in. That or do a cross and rather than head it in because heading is manual pass the cross to another striker for a tap in.

    I play against the ai only… and it’s really sluggish and slow. I’m wondering if the different versions of the game are using the same gameplay sliders and updates, or if the difference lies in game mode. Either way, everyone seems to be unhappy with the gameplay mechanics.

    Part of the problem seems to rest with the antiquated engine they use, and another part with the dev team who doesn’t have the goal of making the best playing football game they can make.

    To be fair fut is using everyone close to 99. You will see very few players under 90 pace being used. But that’s probably what makes it hard for ea everyone wants different things. I’ve seen some who like arcade gameplay and want offense to be better than defense. To me I have very few games that end 0-0 and would like to see offense be manual. So I dunno how ea can make both views happy. 

  • There are so many bugs which still haven’t been addressed. One in particular that is plaguing me at the moment is that I cannot activate a new evolutions player, I hold down activate and simply nothing happens when the bar fills. Really hope they can address these issues sooner rather than later

    Really bizarre… deleted all the saved game info, restarted the game and now it plays completely differently. So there is a clear issue here with the save game info not using the data from updates. The game is much faster now, also has a lot of jitter and frame rate issues… but at least it plays half decent.

    Can anyone explain this? Does this mean Xbox users have to delete their save data every time there is an update?
