[Bug/Problem] Fix this broken gameplay

The Gameplay is terrible for career mode, the defenders are too strong and you cant enjoy playing football at all. None of the creators or the programmers actually know how the game is playing..

I agree on everything that you wrote and i also saw that when i make a simple pass from my defender to my midfielder and try to go forward, the opposition striker  is already marking me and take the ball, how [Edited] fast is marking my defender and already goes to my midfielder before i start to move

CM Edited post to clean things up and align with rules 

Any EA employee here who would like to comment on when and if this stuff will be patched ?

Or the question of how one comes to release something like that ?

Agree with everything you called out. I did a similar post last year saying EA owes the community a valid response. The bugs, much less the gameplay, are unacceptable. Last year was the buggiest year and this year it’s no different. Crashes every single day at least once. If this were any enterprise level software in the business world they’d be out of business by now. 
EA need to publicly address how the hell the game ended up this way. Even the streaming community doesn’t know what to make of it because it doesn’t even play like a football game anymore. It’s just a mess of randomness. The lack of acknowledgment of even a single gameplay flaw, EVER is unbelievable. I don’t think they even have QA or dev teams that know what football is. I’ve never played an EA game like this, everything else runs smooth and consistent for me. 
I would pay good money for a condensed version of FUT with no changeable settings, ONE god forsaken camera angle not 15, and consistent gameplay. Its downs even have to be good, just consistent. 

They're never around. Not for us. Not even for their own family.

When EA started making football games in the '90's, there were no updates afterwards, it had to be spot on from the start. If they would have released a game like this back in the days, there wouldn't have been an EA today. Nobody would have bought this crap the next year.

As if you would buy a car today and the sales guy would be like: "You can't steer to the left yet, we'll fix that around mid November. But did you notice the color of the paint? It's so much brighter than the model from last year!" 🤣

Hey EA what about fixing this ridiculous Gameplay ???????????

It's the same game as last year.

1. Attackers again have infinite stamina, 99 tackling, get favorable rebounds when pressing your backline. I just played a Champs game and my players were surrounded by 2 sometimes 3 players hoofing tackles, never missing a single tackle even in ridiculous situations, impossible angles or causing a foul despite playing super aggressive. Most of the goals I'm conceding are these jammy goals that purely defensive, like Tackling Neymar and he stutters, wins the back instantly and hits a through ball straight through or Neymar flying tackling me, my defense freezes and he's straight through. 

2. If you sweat your way past the press get ready to have 7-8 players sprinting with 150 pace into the box for a low block unless you mindlessly spam quick long through balls (2 or 3 max). If you try to build up play your truly up against the A.I. at that point, blocking, tackling & marking your players into the ground. 

3. Take a shot you get brutally punished by the rebounds should you not score. The ball will 99% of the time, find a way to fly to an attacker to initiate the quick counter attack mentioned above. 

4. When you pass invisible forces will pull your attacking player away from the ball while guiding defensive players towards it. 

5. Ball retention, interceptions, rebounds, attacking movement are completely ridiculous. I'm telling you I can't win the ball clean and push forwards without my players basically freezing for a split second which always causing the player I've tackled to regain possession, in a better position and punish me. 

6. Attacking A.I. just stands around, offers no support, is not capable of out flanking the defense. Even if you set up a nice move and get the ball into space the defense just covers every square inch of the pitch faster. Attackers will just sabotage your attack by moving offside for absolutely no reason. 

7. Goal keepers are great in certain situations, shocking in others. It just happens that can't save these counter attacking style goals where the ball is shot right at their body. 

I'm sorry but this game requires no skill & don't at me about the top .01% I'm talking about the style of play the bulk of the community uses. You can be pretty competitive by setting up a meta custom tactic and just playing the same way every game. And this isn't bitterness. I qualified for champs on my second attempt & am happy with the results I'm getting however I hate the no brain way I have to play to try and attack properly & break down these insane low block defenses. It makes me want to spew into a toilet. And it's no good enough. Supposedly this forum is set up for feedback off the community last year me and many others time and time again posted about the problems within this game. You had a year plus infinite resources many studios would dream to have to fix this game and you did nothing. Now this game is one major patch away from being identical to the last game & and the other 2 games before that. 

I forgot to mention Tackle spamming as well. Why on earth is some winger able to put in 3 super quick tackles in a row without opening up gaps? Why is there no recovery time? These players can sprint in, completely miss the tackle, turn around, run back and wrap there leg around you before you can even carry the ball forwards. There are barely any consequences for spamming tackles. 

Also when it comes to shots on target that hit the post, rebound off a defender or are saved by the goalkeeper, this game will literally pull your forwards away from the ball, slow them down to recover the ball, make them run in this weird half circle etc. Even with Osimhen with poacher++ before I can't even switch to him & get to the ball first because the A.I. drags him away from the path of the ball out of position, on purpose because it's a mechanic in the game. I can see A.I. controlled defenders doing the complete opposite & aggressively attacking the loose ball. 

Update after Weekend League (8 wins):

• The tempo ratio between defenders and attackers is clearly broken.
  Defenders are faster than the fastest attackers, regardless of the value of the card
• Collision model/physics
  • is completely broken, here too defenders are fundamentally too strong regardless of the values ​​on the card
    • The difference between women and men is also exaggerated, even though the women's card has 80+ strength
  • After collisions between 2 players, it is not possible to change players and you have to hope that your own player "recovers" quickly enough to defend a resulting counterattack
• The interception range of CPU-controlled players is too large --> It is simply not possible to play a simple pass through a sufficiently large gap (despite the pass playstyle)
• Also the reactions and blockings of CPU-controlled players is worlds too fast

• referees 
  
  • constantly wrong decisions, whether offside, foul, penalty free kicks or advantage
  • Likewise, the game is sometimes whistled in the middle of the attack in the penalty area
• goalkeepers
  • manual goalkeeper movement ist absolutly exaggerated and unfair
  • goalkeepers with the role "Libero ++" are unable to hold the simplest balls (in my case Ter Stegen)
• movement of the defense lines is too fast in combination with low depth setting (seems that the depth setting is the reason for this behavior)
  • the same applies to the offside trap
• Skill moves
  • are either not executed or are too slow and are currently absolutely unusable
  • Just like every CPU-controlled player knows perfectly well how he can intercept the ball from the skill move movement
• craziness
  • L1 Sprint Boost is absolutely ridiculous
  • rebound goals --> The way and frequency in which goals are scored from rebounds is simply unacceptable (And that doesn't even include the balls blocked by goalkeepers)
