Fix the gameplay
Fix the gameplay, don’t ask on twitter for feedback when you’ve been getting it for months on here but think you’re above criticism for a game that is broken from top to bottom and if it’s not broken...

@RadioShaqs I just played a game where my opponent just messed around with me and couldn't be bothered playing.I won 3-0, completed it, full time, whistle and all. Then find I can't get to the menu as normal so come back out. Go to another game only to see the 'you appear to have quit your previous game..' message.
I didn't quit, yet have been deducted a place in the league.
Any idea what the heck? I just played against a cross player. Why should I be penalised at al
I try to not give my opinion because first it doesn’t matter it’s what ea does but because people just want to argue over it. The important thing is that ea looks at it and passes on the evidence. Rather it’s server related like sa or your connection or gameplay issues.
- @RadioShaqs Check this out, My Cannovaro is sprinting back under my control, when I switch to a different player and ai controls Cannovaro, he sprints faster, why is this?

I've just played another game today, my first ever drafts game, got beat 8-0 and quit. My players could not turn, my opponent could tell which way I was turning before my player animation even completed, it's that slow and one sided. I'm pissed off again, just ruins your mood. I'm hesitant to even play a game now because how I'm going to feel after it. Last time I tried to critique one of your videos people just wanted to argue with me even though it wasn’t you. I’ve seen videos where you had serious issues and some where I thought you had hit the wrong button. Realistically my opinion doesn’t matter. I am just glad ea did a break down of your videos and you know they are passing them on it’s really up to them.
Delay unplayable again during Champs like it is every single weekend.
The people that work at this place should just be sacked at this point. It’s unacceptable. It’s false advertising. It’s a word beginning with f.
Does any other game have this much delay during its main event? Do they not make enough money exploiting people’s gambling addictions?
You cannot play. Your players can’t move. I’d have so much more respect for this cowardly company if they just came out and said yeah we can’t be bothered spending money on our servers. But they hide behind this forum and the mods that simply never reply because they are either completely and hopelessly incompetent or lazy. Quite fitting, since it starts right at the top.
Advice for anyone.
Play later. Don’t play now. Rearrange your plans to play later, because EA can’t be bothered to spend money on their servers.
This is how all gaming should work. You have to wait for your slot to play instead of just plugging in and going. This is gaming in 2024 courtesy of the people at EA.
Once again if anyone is uncertain, this is a horrible company.
Tried playing the game, switch to a player then the game auto switches from them straight away, players being help by the ai on opponents team nothing wrong with that apparently, players being fouled nothing given, players not running half the time and still EA ignores the problems
- @StuBoy1984 I keep my switches in manually and it still takes me away from the players I want to select. Too many times its cost me goals conceded. They seriously need to fix the player switch system. I use LB as the RS flick has never worked for me.
I cannot take this garbage anymore
Opposition is one on one with the goalkeeper, I tell the keeper to come out and she COMPLETELY RUNS PAST THE P;LAYER
Doesn't even follow the ball, the player, the sky, God.
She literally just ran straight forwards in a straight line like she was running to the centre circle.
This is pathetic, absolutely pathetic.
And ANYONE who defends this by trying to blame the server, the ping, or because a million dollar keeper is broken is nothing but a corporate shill who will be ignored from now on because they offer nothing to anyone and are just trying to blame anyone but the fact this game is TERRIBLE.
The players have the IQ's of donkeys- @sniperfox29 Just had my goalie try to save shots with his feet only 😂 I don't even know why these animations are this bad, they definitely need to fix these things -- wasn't experiencing these animations before, and now I am...
It's definitely frustrating when there seems to be no issues with a given player but then there is or vise-versa @sniperfox29 I've always said, especially in my older Madden days, that I don't mind losing to a good player or a great player, or even a bad play if I make my own mistakes, but I can never accept having to fight bith a good player and bad crappy programing at the same time.
The problem will be solved if you buy coins. You have to buy coins every few days and everything will be fine. 😂😉
Over the last few days i've come to realise that a lot of the problems we've all spoken about with regards to responsiveness and inconsistent gameplay... are most likely down to servers and wifi. I've upgraded my wifi this week from 300mb to 550mb and whilst my ping is still the same (Generally anywhere between 14-22) , the gameplay feels SO much more responsive and faster. This was during gameplay today so it remains to be seen whether it all falls apart when the servers are busier but even with a minor increase to my wifi speed, the gameplay improvement has been significant.
I still do think there's major flaws with the way the game has been built though, with the biggest being AI defending pressing/interceptions. Custom tactics have become way too open to abuse to the point where the AI is doing the majority of the work for certain players. I still stand by my previous points that in any online video game, user input should be the most important factor in deciding who wins and loses, and in this game there's far too many examples where user input isn't the overriding factor in the end result
That’s the problem with connections it’s such a personal thing we all don’t experience the same connection. It’s why doing all the tests matter. It’s the only way to judge and show your issues.
- @RadioShaqs I agree with you but also in the same breath, this is the only game where I see these kinds of issues, i've never had any issues with any other game. In all honesty I think any company as big as EA should have servers strong enough that even if you were on 100mb wifi, you would still have a good gameplay experience. The average Wifi speed in the UK is actually less than 100mbs so to have people playing on 300mbs+ and still having unresponsive gameplay feels like a big problem on EA's behalf
The gameplay since the half day of maintenance has been frankly disgraceful. 500mbps internet speed running the series x through a Ethernet cable and my whole team is stuck in the mud. This is the ONLY game I have these issues on, any other game it perfect. Totally unacceptable from EA, the game is totally unplayable right now… in good gameplay I can smash people in division 1 with ease, when it’s as bad as it is at the moment I can barely string passes together never mind scrape a win. Game is totally flawed and has been for what seems like an eternity now. Shocking company, money grabbing weasels
Just played a game of draft went 5-1 opponent paused and then I got disconnected and a dnf how has ea not fixed this sh?t yet?
- @StuBoy1984 You have to register 0 pocket loss and 0 jitter if it is not 0 it’s due to your connection. Contact your ISP. Are there any other online games like this? That can only be enjoyed by people with the best connection? Preferably from rich countries, living near servers, being blessed with the best ISP (i have no choice there is only one operating where i live) maybe they have fun. I try to play on low Ping 2-6 and i still see signs of bad internet connection in upper right corner. Will it ever change?
- @RadioShaqs How many more complaints need to be made on the forum before anything gets done mate? Facebook is blowing up because no one can get on either it cant all be our high end connections that have no issue at all with other games?
Looks like they fixed most of the sa server issues. Is fut down now? I’ve not tried in the last couple days. Or do you mean just in general? I know you made a post in the technical section and here for uk players to post their reports how many posted in it? I know sa had over 1000 specific posts and with reports I’ve not seen anything like that. Have more posted examples in this thread besides you? I don’t have Facebook so only seen stuff here.
- @RadioShaqs Mate the forum is riddled with complaints included this topic and others, maybe people missed my topic do they all need to be in the same place? I doubt anyone would post gameplay if thats what you mean where has it gotten me?
Ea broke down your gameplay on each video and explained it. But yeah it would help if people had a consensus. I’ve actually seen more fix their gameplay than not lately. I’ve also seen more say there is no ea sever issues. That’s coming from people who dislike ea and the game. I try to get people to report it but besides sa nobody does. The last person I asked to see a video they just wanted to argue with me and say I was defending ea so to me the evidence just isn’t there. I agree people say it but to actually show any evidence there is very little.
Leon never broke down every video, just a certain few. I never agreed either with him. On one of the examples he tried to break down The ball bouncing off an 89 rated Elliot is *, saying his control is 63 rated? And that I was pressing sprint at the same time? Pure excuses. I can't even get on UT right now says the servers are down when trying to get in to that game mode. There's a wide spread issue with the game. I don't want to complain to you about it it's not your fault, but no one else responds and nothing gets done. I'll even share my connection report with you...
Also check out this from one of the last games in the connection report...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MB8MbP7pa9A why doesn't he sprint straight away? then goes to sprint a second later knocking the ball to far ahead? this happens all over the pitch from passing, to turning, sprinting, shooting proper joke.
Like I’ve said I commend you for sharing your videos and trying. I wish more people took your lead. If more people would do like sa and you and there is a problem I think ea would fix it.
- @RadioShaqs But people are complaining about the exact same issues I’m recording so what does it matter. They are not lying. And the most frustrating thing is even after all I’ve done the only feedback I had was picking and choosing what videos he wanted to respond too. And nothings been done. Pissed off with it.
@RadioShaqs you do realise that the last thing most folk probably have going through their mind is to record the clip showing the issue? I'm not having a go, just saying that in the heat of the moment, I dont think recording a clip is the first thing they thing of unfortunately.
I record mine, but for some reason this site will never allow me to share them, so I've started to stop recording them. I can't even share my connection rate to prove I have flawless connectivity.
