Hey FC fans,

We want to jump into this thread to clarify some points. Because we read from some posts, you felt ignored when sharing your thoughts about the game.

We kept this thread, even with this strong title, because we respect and appreciate your opinions. Whether positive or negative, they are precious for us to create constructive feedback for our Team to improve the game experience.

We are not asking you to share only words of appreciation; we do like your honest opinions. Our only request is to keep a polite tone and respect our rules.

We are all players, and when we read criticisms, we know they come from passionate players who love this fantastic sport and grew up with this title. Myself I did, starting with FIFA 94 (FIFA International Soccer) for Game Boy and moving to Super Nintendo and then PS1, spending so many afternoons playing alone or with friends. We know that sometimes we could cross the line when we’re disappointed with a situation, driven by our passion for this game. And in the end, we all want this game to be better. But if we cross the line too often, the risk is turning a constructive thread into a toxic thread with rants and flaming, making it harder for us to take examples and share them with the team as constructive feedback.

A good example is the post from @Tauntmatt (Link): at the beginning and at the end, they confirm a strong opinion, but they share examples of where the Team, in their opinion, should focus on improving the game. Thank you for your post!

Another point: if you don’t see replies in a thread, it doesn’t mean we don’t read your feedback. We always do and share constructive ones with the Team.

We don’t see a reason to close this thread; indeed, we want to change the Title so that from now on, we ask you what you would keep of EA SPORTS FC™ 24 and what you would change. It could be in terms of new modes (ex. Evolutions), Gameplay, or Features—just one reminder: please share as many details as possible. Feedback like “the game is unplayable” or “the gameplay is terrible.” are too generic, while, as an example, “goalkeepers should be more reactive in a 1on1 situation” is something we can share with the Team.

Also, if you'd like to share your feedback about a specific mode or situation, please open a new thread in the correct section. We have different sections related to the FC 24 modes in Answers HQ; you can find them Here. Also, consider using the search bar: someone else may have already opened that thread you want to discuss, and you can jump in and share your thoughts.

Thank you for your time reading this post and for the constructive feedback already shared so far.

Hello Leon. 

@EA_LeonSK Thanks for the XP do you have any advice or comment on my gameplay issues?

Hi @no_way_mad_tha, 

I read your points and would like to reply because I found some feedback we can report to the team and other situations where we could give some advice to improve your game experience. 

I will reply directly to your points:

1 - Player shot is weak. I've seen the clip, and I tried to capture the moment where your player shoots: the power is below 2 bars and it seems like you tried a finesse shot, which is slower than a normal shot. With 3 bars of power and with a normal shot, there were more chances to score. The feedback is about the power of the shot, so my apologies if I go a bit off-topic here, but you have a free pass for your striker in the middle of the box, with all goals open to score. 

2. Players switch and delay sprint. If you pick a player who is not running it will take a short time to start sprinting. I can see your request to have defenders more "reactive" to the ball, so if you select them, they're ready to sprint in the position of your left stick. It's a good feedback for the Team.

3. Delayed input on defends. At 0:05, you press twice L1 and press Circle, so you control Van Dijk, De Bruyne, and Van Dijk again, and you are late with the standing tackle. I don't think you did it on purpose, but that's why you felt this delay. 

4. Haaland movement. We should see which Haaland card you were using. In general. The gold card has 72 Balance, 76 Agility, 79 Dribbling, and no Dribbling Playstyles. I think this is a game design decision to balance the game. Also, in real football, you don't see much dribbling from Haaland, but one of the best finishers we have at the moment.

5. Harvey Elliot ball control. I captured the moment in the clip when Elliot intercepted the pass, and you had the Sprint button pushed. The Future Star item has 63 interceptions and no interception playstyle. I understand you were disappointed in seeing your player not correctly blocking the ball, but I think that was the reason.

6-7. No first time shot/pass. The first moment you press the shot, your player completes the animation to stop the ball. If you want to go for a first-time shot, press Circle right after you pass the ball, so your striker will be prepared to shoot instead of controlling the ball. Same situation with Alisson.

8. Opponent quits in a draw result. At the moment, it's expected to have the final result as a draw. But it's the feedback we have already reported to our Team.

9. Defense is not reactive. I see you have to defend your opponent manually, and defenders just focus on taking the position. Thanks for the feedback. 

10. Pass issue. Thanks for this clip. I don't see a delay, but a similar situation to point 6. However, I can see feedback for more accurate passes. With a 2-bar power, I'm sure you wanted to pass the ball to your striker and the left wing.

I appreciated your time invested in sharing examples and descriptions, and that's why I wanted to reply point by point. Some points showed a good opportunity to improve, and in other points, good feedback. I am not a pro, so I hope that the points I gave advice will be a concrete help. 

We want to use this thread to discuss this game's Pros and Cons. You are not forced to, but if there are positive points, feel free to share them. If you have a technical issue, we suggest using the search board or opening a new thread if no one has experienced that issue before. If you see a bug and want to report it, please create a thread in the correct section.

Constant deflections are a major problem in this game. I just quit once it happens more than once I get a good interception or tackle and it rolls back to the other players feet

I will not describe the huge number of errors for a long time. I'll just say it. Since 2017, I have not conceded more than 5-6 goals. In this part, for a month I have been constantly losing, conceding at least 6 goals and losing all the time! My statistics for the month are no more than 20 wins approximately. A couple of days ago I lost 16-0!!! Yes, I could have left the game earlier, but I really wanted to see how this madness would end! My ping was 18ms (which is an absolute lie). The game was out of control. I think just pressing all the buttons in a row was the best result in this match. I change the schemes, tactics, and composition, but this does not lead to results. I give the pass to the player, but he does not turn on to receive the pass and the ball passes next to him. 80% of my selection is a violation. 50% after selection, the player falls on the lawn. I press LB to make my player start running, but it doesn't happen. I press again and again, but it doesn't happen!!! Maybe pressing the LB button 4 times, my central defender starts running. Why is he doing this while in the center of the field? Next to the player who controls the ball there are 4 midfield players and a forward, and the central defender does the scoring! The players are not performing customized tactics. The settings are straight passes. The players are standing still and even LB does not save the situation!
I'm not such a bad player that I lose all the time for a month. I'm not the star of the game. I'm playing in the 5th division and trying to move to the 4th. But I think this is not possible when the game has you and not the opponent has beaten you.

This is a game where people go on YouTube and find the most glitchy unbalanced mechanics in the game and abuse them for cheap wins.

IF there is any devs or someone that can send information to them here....

Here is whats wrong with your GAME

THIS IS WHAT WE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT.

Its NOT oure internett its something wrong with..

This video on 7 min have more or less everything in it to be studied..  This so called e-game is the most inconsistent garbage in years.. sorry for saying garbage but its true.

And THEN comes the servers, heavy gameplay, heavy menues "takes atleast 30 sec to put 11 players into a SBC because it lags like hell"..

Constant cheaters on PC. Constant 20 MS ingame but my AI runs into eachother, runs randomly and often dont run at ALL... why is there no SERIOUS feedback here from any of you working in this company... just random bogus link with connection test and other weirdo answer..

DO you aknowledge at all that the fault is in the game att all or are you all from mars and actualy belive its oure internett cables causing all this to happend...

Downloaded Fifa 23 today and guess what. clean gameplay, superfast menues and its a 80% better game in total than the crap released this year.

Fifa 23 was garbage to when it was played last year with heavy server etc etc etc etc. but now when all players left it to play this donkey turtle mudgame then Fifa 23 actualy performs very good.

I remember so many post back in fifa 22-23-21 and YOU GUYS STILL SPEVED OUT THE SAME CONNECTIN LINK CRAP.

FIX THE GAME , GET SOLID SERVERS, LISTEN TO THE PLAYERBASE OR DONT MAKE EA FC25 PLZ

i forgott to mention any +++ things about this game and i can tell you why..... the whole game is so laggy, heavy ,buggy and full of flaws that the few positive things in it drowns in comparison.

Maybe 1 thing is the content in menues but i dont buy sport games to open packs 24/7 because actualy PLAYING it makes me wanna vomit

The gameplay goes from players flying and feeling responsive to moving like they have ankle weights on while running in sand going uphill. It changes every game. The ai defense mechanics are way overpowered to the point where * players don’t even use them. They just sit still and let the ai defend for them. Some games keepers play like they should according to the card. Some games they may as well not even be in net. Some games it’s like you put a literal concrete wall in front of the net and they make 22 saves with an xg of 7.9 and you lose 1-0 off of a cutback or a bicycle kick from a corner. The overpowered mechanic of just lobbing long passes without even knowing where your player is, the way fouls don’t get called on center halfs when they maul a striker but you get sent off for pressing B outside the box with defenders behind you. Whatever EA has done with this game makes it so hard to enjoy playing. It’s a poor excuse for a football game and with how many complaints you guys see every day, it’s pathetic that seemingly no changes are made other than throwing more packs at everyone. “We see that you guys hate the gameplay and are tired of delays in the game, the toxic community, and the broken mechanics…here’s another promo that you have to spend money on to get any of them, enjoy”. Make it make sense and fix the game. This game has been a horrible miss on your part EA

@EA_LeonSK This game is infuriatingly bad to play. It’s just a matter of who can abuse mechanics better than the other guy. There is no real football happening here and it’s not fun. It’s a * game that rewards toxic play to perform well. I’ve shattered 2 controllers playing this * game because I have 12 shots to my opponents 2 and the game is 2-0 in my opponents favor. Ai defense is the dumbest it’s ever been in terms of how overpowered it is. You guys have truly made a dumpster fire of a game and despite all the comments you get from your players about how bad it is, you guys fail to fix anything. From the * poor passing, to the op ai defending, to the game by game changes in gameplay, to the constant input delay. I mean, you figure that something would be done to make this game enjoyable but it sucks the life out of me and many others. I’m done playing this game. I’ve held out hope that you guys would figure something out, but oh my goodness was I sorely mistaken. What a poor excuse of a game this is

hi, i truly don't know how many proves we need to convince someone working for EA that there is sth wrong with this game. I don't post any videos here, and i am not going to because i don't believe that it will  change anything. 

Yesterday i was watching some of the pros playing WL - he was wining game after game , but there were many situations in which he was commenting "now Rolfo is not moving like she should" he wanted to do certain things but it was not easy because of the gameplay, so he was commenting on how the gameplay is, how it's not fun anymore, how this game got worse. And when i was watching yes i could have seen that there were some moments in which his players behave strangely, it was really possible while watching.  So he posted i don't know how many hours  with i don't know how many strange situations but i don't believe it's enough for EA to believe that there is sth wrong with this game.  

I saved 120 packs for the tots and i was opening them to see if i will get sth decent (i got 3 the most economic ones from 90 packs), and i was trying to do some sbc with duplicates. I don't know how many times this game froze,  i had to close the game start over and start sbc over. Will there be time when this game will not freeze anymore?

This is the only online game in which i played with 11 players against 10 players of my opponent because Grimaldo LB was invisible. One could only see the marker over his head when he had ball and the ball rolling by itself... But it can't be true because i did not record it. So it probably never happened. 

There are different kind of flaws and defects some of them infuriating some less but i would like to know if there is any chance  that sth will change. is anyone working on it or are they just happy with the game and working on the next one?

There are plenty of games in which i lead 3-0 after 1 half, my opponent has 0 shots on goal, he plays nothing, but in the second half it changes 180 degrees he scores and my defenders watch him playing, there is nothing to do. The final score is 5-3 do you know how  many matches like that i played? enough to be mad. 

There are certain matches when i just can't make one pass, ONE - because ever ball is ending with opposition no matter if it's strong pass with R1 or is it a long pass, does not matter. The ball bounces from my players legs, and they can not get a hold of it,  i have 24 shots on goal and i score 2 and i loose to someone who had 4 shots and 3 goals. You play such a game and you know that you are better you create situations but there are bars, saves etc, making really hard to score on the other hand my opponent shots and scores (i have 92 van der sarr) and when players feel that there is no justice in all of this YES that when decide to quit this game. Because one wants fun and fairness when playing sth in his free time.

Hello, my gameplay is not specially good, iam got way to high ping and a terrible delay, my menus are terrible slow also, iam playing on a Ps5, wired connection, got 1000/1000 fibrewire, my wireless handcontroller i also got wired, living in sweden/Gothenburg, a friend was told me to post here and i hope you see my massege and correct my gameplay.

Thnx 

Ps: i post two videos and my connection is there is anythingelse you need just tell me and i give you as much info and help from my side i possible can.

he was forced to comment that, he doesn't even watch the replies anymore because he doesn't care lmao. NICE STAFF EA 🙌

My suggested improvements for EA FC 24 (I also feel gameplay and graphics went backwards from FIFA 23).

- Please done ignore kick off mode. Why can’t casual players also benefit from the fun perks that come to UT? Like retro kits and fun creative stadiums.

- The graphics look odd with the shirt numbers stretching all over the place and not as clean as in the FIFA series. The goal replays / cut scenes look choppy when the FPS drops and ball is blur. 
- Improve the cutscenes and match day. It was so disappointing we lost match day walk outs / line ups or at least option to have this. New cut scenes are repetitive and too short and doesn’t build any match day anticipation. I miss the stadium anthems!

- Graphics - flags in the crowd are choppy and over done. How often do you see this many flags in the premier league? Also why is every second person in the crowd a clone or twin of a model, I wish the crowd would look and behave more like individuals if they are in cut scenes.

- So much more innovation could come to the game. Retro kits / teams from years gone by, stadium editor, goal horns, more dramatic scenes for cards, penalties, goal celebrations, VAR moments. Community kit creations?

- Commentary has gone backwards, little variety of words. Could do with a few more options.

- Replays, can we save replays of goals to form a library to watch back on? 

- Pre game fly over of the stadium, hype music, ability to pick how full the crowd is or fans leave when the team is being hammered 5-0 

- Little details can have a big impact and it would be great if EA would poll / listen to the community more to shape their development pipeline rather than just push out random title updates.

We do read posts; we just don't reply to any posts since the purpose of this thread is to share what you liked most and least about FC 24 and what you would change looking into the future. We do reply sometimes but It's not a Q&A thread.
