Players Not Accelerating / Sprinting Animation Bug

Product: EA SPORTS FC 25
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 4
Which mode has this happened in? Ultimate Team™
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? By going into any game mode on UT offline or online and the players should slow down considerably before reaching the ball on PS4.
What happens when the bug occurs? On PS4 on offline and online UT modes, the players often slow down, almost 'running on the spot', just before reaching the ball - especially when chasing a through ball, etc. Players also do this odd and frustrating animation when doing sharp turns and the sudden drop off acceleration/pace allows defenders to intercepts, in turn ruining my buildup play. It happens also for opponents as I have seen over 15+ online opponents' players doing the same motion, allowing ME to intercept them. Does not happen for AI in squad battles though. It has been going on for over 3 weeks now and players on the FUT reddit page have agreed with experiecning the issue.
What should be happening instead? Players should be accelerating like normal and reaching the ball when chasing.

  • Yes! I’ve written about this for months…

    it happens if play is uninterrupted for about 40 seconds. Players then stop reacting/chasing through balls.

    I have this bug as well. I did a lot of digging on the internet—Reddit, Discord, YouTube, everything—and still found no solution for this. I deleted the game, reinstalled it, deleted the saved data, and nothing seems to work. Some people say it's a connection issue, but I've seen others experiencing the same bug in My Career and Squad Battles. At first, I thought I was up against a hacker, but it happens literally every game. I've changed the settings countless times, but nothing seems to work. It's very frustrating to play like this, and even more frustrating that no one from the EA team has said anything to guide us or even acknowledge the problem.

    To be honest, I don’t think it’s just about the sprint. Players fumble easy passes—it has something to do with the sliders.

    I really hope EA addresses this issue soon because it's ruining the experience for so many players.
