Can we have fluent game play in EA FC25?

Sounds like you are having connection issues. You should try the connection test on here and compare your match history from the different games. 

Here is an example of how if you want to test it.

Nope. That's why EA just blames the user for their game problems like we are to stupid to know the difference between connection issues and gameplay issues. I mean, we do keep buying the game so maybe we are stupid. 

Wow. We still get the lackey talking about our connection issues. 

We might be stupid enough to buy this game but we aren’t stupid enough to believe the connection nonsense. 

I’ve had some brilliant gameplay since Friday night. Played a load of squad battle games after my 13 to do some EVOs and objectives. Players were fast, responsive, moved as they should, dribbling great etc. 

Played the 94 repeatable team on professional this morning just to get a last EVO completer and again the gameplay was brilliant. 

I then go straight on to play the bronze team on legendary. My gameplay changed completely. My team slow, losing every tackle, not making runs, can’t dribble, not being able to get free in the box - having to hurt my hands to wrestle my players to do anything. Won 5-4 but that should be a 6 or 7 nil game to me at least. 

The game is capable of feeling right but for whatever reason, looks like a deliberate slowing of my team by the game, it is just too hared work to enjoy it properly. I should be able to use my players in line with their ability. I’m getting nowhere near it when the points scoring starts.
