Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 4 Slim
What is your Gamertag/PSN ID/Switch ID? pastcastlewalls
Which mode has this happened in? Clubs
Which part of the mode? Club Match
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. enter clubs 2. play a little against oponnents who already realized the bug (you just need to run, counter-attack and nobody will mark you, there will be no backs!!!) 3. get mad!! 4. take a bunch of goals the same way
What happens when the bug occurs? My defense get into a 1x5 situation and it's always goal, because it's easy to pass and beat the keeper in those situations. We're taking identical goals
What should be happening instead? My players should be marking the opponent's attackers

‌

1. I'm tired of playing clubs and my center backs and left and right backs just doesn't go after the opponent attackers. my central midfielders seems to disappear, and EVERY TIME we have a 1x5 situation. It's impossible to defend.  we're taking 8, 9, 10 goals THE EXACTLY SAME WAY EVERY MATCH. PLEASE, FIX THE MARKING IN CLUBS PS4 VERSION
2. and IT'S NOT MY TATICS. my defensive line are at the lowest possible. all my players are locked in defensive tasks. i tried all options to fix. THEY JUST DON'T RUN. below, one of the weakest examples, see how many of them players pass through my defense EASILY? they could've passed to whoever they wanted at some time. ridiculous

I have played pro clubs as long as it’s existed and it’s all I play now as an old man, as I can’t dedicate time to UT and really I just like playing with friends. 

My biggest gripe about the AI is there is no customisations for the actual AI characters. You give us the option to do so but as soon as a game starts all of the time spent making your AI look a certain way is a complete waste as they revert back to the default faces you can choose.

I get we can’t expect to be able to morph every players face on the team (even though I can’t see why we can’t do this in 2025) but at least let us choose from the presets options eg Eyebrows 296 and jaw 1007, chin 6 etc. it will just make the game so much more authentic when your AI look different to the oppositions AI. The only thing you let us do is change their names really and hair colour.

So EA please let what we do in the AI customisation menu carry over to actual gameplay or take the option away because I’ve wasted a lot of time every year changing AI player’s appearance hoping to see it in game but every year you let us down 

Hey, buddy.

I know you have gripes with customisation, but what is your AI like? Ours are out of position and don't track back, at all. Makes the games like basketball and we win or lose 7-5, 8-6, etc... We finished 700 in the world last year and now it's unplayable. 

Hello mate, so we play with an ANY and I’ve been they dedicated ANY for years now. You sort of get used to the AI players being useless but it’s pretty horrendous this year for so early on, I tend to be able to move them into position to block passes or cover runs but when you are playing more than 3 pros and have pro players running from deep you have no chance as the AI have no interest in marking players or tracking runners, literally can run straight at my defence with 4/5/6 players and it’s a guarantee goal unless I get lucky.

Now you’ve got me going I’ll make a list

1) The AI goal keepers are literally terrible you never know if the are going to catch the ball, pick it up, punch it, run past it, trip over the defenders the list goes on. I’ve lost so many games from the GK just doing something random.

2) The double tackles/pin ball tackling in the box, if you make a good tackle with a defender and it either ends up going straight back to the player you tackled or going to his team mate or you get the ball but are immediately tackled by the player you tackled.

3) There is no movement from AI to get in to a passing position or help you. We try play out from the back but the opposition pros will mark every option and if you do get it round the first line the AI CDMs are so static it puts you at a disadvantage as it’s so easy for the opposition to close down.

I could go on for hours but my kids are distracting me 😅

it’s always been the same you don’t know what night you are going to have because the game is so inconsistent. Some nights we play and win every game and have a great laugh other nights we come off losing every game and wanting to uninstall the game. 

I’ve hidden from the kids to continue my rant 

EA PLEASE FIX THE CORNERS! You are now at a disadvantage having a corner as your whole team is in the box, you have 2 guys back on the half way line and if the opposition leaves 3 pros up with 90+ pace- one big driven goal kick or even a clearance puts them through on goal. This may work in single player game mode but please give an option for clubs to chose how many players go up or who is up as another problem is my ST who is the biggest aerial threat is not in the box sometimes.

Also EA for us ANY players can you please let us choose what position we want our pros to play. If I want to play a RB build at CDM because the stats are better I can’t have that, if I want to play a LM build at CAM I can’t, CDM at CB, CF at ST, LW at ST the list goes on currently we can only play in the position our pro build is listed. A simple drop down box when you click on ANY to give you the choice of position you want to put your guy in would be amazing so where can try different builds in different positions.

The face morphing has been a brilliant addition this year and gives us a laugh every game but now the novelty is starting to wear off we are seeing the issues with the game.
