Kick off glitch

The kick off glitch from last year is back and it's even worse than it was last year. They kick off, and instantly make a run, play a pass to their fullback and instantly play a long lobbed pass to the striker

It's physically impossible to do anything about it because every time you try to control your CB to block it, the game will auto switch you away from the player you're controlling. Yet another example of EA allowing players to cheat their way through games in 24.

Becoming ridiculous how rigged games are when someone abuses the AI

    @Cam3131 I raised this exact issue to EA with video evidence but was told by others that I wasn't defending properly. Sorry, mate. We'll just have to defend better, I guess... Lol

    @Izzy_FUT_Dubs Luckily not many people are doing it but the ones that are... it's just impossible to defend against

    The game is at an all time low for me. They've released all these ridiculously overpowered cards and every game just feels like i'm playing squad battles on ultimate now. AI defenders do absolutely everything for my opponents but absolutely nothing for me and my players are so unresponsive that I have no chance against that auto press, especially since for some reason AI players are allowed to foul you and get away with it

    I've genuinely never played a video game before that has such a lack of fairness in the gameplay. You either get the AI to do 90% of the work for you and win, or play manually and lose

    The kick off glitch has been around since 2016

    the biggest issue with all this is, EA don’t care

    they degrade there own game with stuff like this

    along with tackling and the player keeps running, through 4 or 5 of them.

    its stuff like this why I haven’t purchased the game in a few years, I was gifted this one, or I wouldn’t be playing anyway

    same with all EA games, have a big name in EA, and think they can live off it. Unfortunately, just like the EA basket ball and golf games from back in the day, others have taken over. And I can see the same happening with this game in the next couple of seasons

    @Cam3131 I've been complaining about auto defending vs my manual defending all year. Lol

    I swear my opponents players dive for the ball. Mine, just stand there and do nothing. Sometimes even run away from the shots!

    @Izzy_FUT_Dubs Yes!!! Exactly this. I can time a tackle perfectly and win the ball but within 0.1 seconds their AI has won it back through the auto press and I can't move my player

    I'll see the opponents AI Mbappe lunge to make a near impossible interception but when they misplace a pass straight to my araujo or Rudiger they just watch the ball skip past their foot. It has to be custom tactics causing it but something feels really, really off about the game this year

    @Oldman_Sparky_YT I guess at least last year when people were abusing it they;

    A) Made changes to player switching so that once you've switched to your CB to block it, you would stay controlling your CB. This year you switch to your CB but as soon as they play the ball it auto switches you to someone else and the player you were previously controlling just stops moving

    B) They reduced the effectiveness of the long pass so that people were trying it and just losing the ball instantly

    There's been no gameplay updates to this game for months now but the same problems with auto defending, midfield congestion, player responsiveness etc... all still exist. And now we're up to 97+ rated players the AI is just out of control

    @Cam3131 I've been providing so many videos on this topic and haven't had a definitive response yet, but I definitely agree that their defense seems to block everything and it can't just be coincidence. I think it's definitely the press

    They need to buff defense. I think the problem is people always want to nerf defense and buff offense. Scoring goals is more fun than breaking down the defense. It would also help if offense was manual. Offense is just to easy.
