My controller is freaking out

Been facing the same issue, but only while playing any online mode like seasons or online friendlies. The controller just stops working suddenly and the player keeps on running in the same direction and I cannot switch to another player.  This keeps on happening till the ball goes out of play, than it works fine for a second and than again this starts happening. It also isn't just the controller, even when I tried playing with the keyboard its the same, everything stops working and the player who I had the cursor on will stay on the spot, or will continue to run in a straight line and out of the pitch if I had him moving in any direction. It only happens when I play online, it works just fine otherwise.
