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.
