FC25 RANDOM PASSING BUGS, AND DELAYED REPSONSE ON INPUT

Just bought this game 8 days ago. The first few days the game performed perfectly, no sluggish gameplay, no delay in input (i.e shooting, lobbying, or turning with or without ball)...6days later the horror show begins.

My gameplay is based off passing the ball around and finding spaces in the oppositions defence. Neither do I rush into tackles to win back possession, but use jockey and second man press to win back the ball...but lately there is so much delay, passess has been misplaced, either it will override the late receiver or it will be early, and it does not end there, lobbed balls from the keeper seems to over hit 80% of the time. Whether you set your passing semi, assisted or manual the bug persists to override your input.

Defending has looked even worse than FC24, opposition can twist and turn easily with your defenders looking like mere spectators to the game.

What in hells name has changed?

  • @Skeelo6 Can I get a refund for this game please?

    Since this morning, games start well. Opponent pauses a lengthy time, and bam the horror show begins. Trying to play through this but freakn hell, this is not what I paid for.

    Dont think you'll get any reply re this. I have been playing since 2019 and for me this is the worst this game has ever been.

    I,like you, have suffered passing nightmares with everything going astray, button delay is a regular occurrence and also I don't seem to be controlling my players half the time, it seems like AI has taken over my controller!

    The player stats are a big bugbear of mine as well. Playing SB's and lower rated teams with 'boosted player stats' is a joke with a 60 rated team having a keeper who literally saves everything thrown at him (something no keeper on this earth could ever do!)

    I get opposition teams with VVD who can easily outpace my 90 pace Lamal! If I play Rivals one game will be good and the next my defence is non existent!

    Who codes this rubbish and more to the point where do E.A. magic up these player stats because they are laughable.

    Oh and whilst on the rant..Pack Luck is atrocious. 88 Popp is my best pull. Thanks E.A.

    It is frustrating as hell to pay for absolute rubbish, and have a forum with zero feedback.

    EA have become a company that are money sucking vampires, with the worst after sales service.

    They are so focused of graphic and hypermotion BS* than improving gameplay, beta testing before releasing rubbish into the market.

    The next patch will be another * up, watch the * unfold! 

    I have adjusted my controls on numerous occasions and yet it always switches back from custom to competitive, so what's the point to adjust settings if they going to override your setting to try and combat the bugs. 

    The most annoying issue that persists since FC24, are the skill merchants against defenders that are ridiculously slow to react and it has just become hell bad with FC25. 

    I have been playing UFL, and it has been more consistent gameplay since playing...so for me I am slowing migrating to UFL... F* ea gameplay and the BS* pathetic service! 

  • This is an old thread, but boy is it relevant. I got the game in January and I’m frustrated to tears by the awful passing control. I tried going to totally manual, but found it impossible to navigate the persistent lag in Rivals and Champions matches and still weight my passes properly (because a pass over over 10 yds takes too long to power up). So, I’m back to using the assist and it’s absolutely maddening how frequently I direct a pass to one player and some “ghost in the machine” of EA’s coding “assists” my pass to somewhere completely different (usually directly to a defender). I sure would like to know whether this is **bleep** poor AI or whether EA has deliberately coded the game to force you into bad passes. I’ve got an OVR 95 team at this point and it’s utterly ridiculous to think the players aren’t good enough to complete some of the passes I’m directing them to make only to see the ball go astray.

    And don’t even get me started on the ridiculous AI defending. If I don’t take direct control, half of my players don’t even respond to a counter-attack by sprinting back. So, I’m constantly scrambling to toggle between defenders to move and keep them in position or else my opponent cuts through me like Swiss cheese. And it wouldn’t be so bad except that the toggle procedure is so cumbersome. This stuff is so basic you’d think EA would have it figured out long ago, but I don’t think anyone at the company actually plays or watches football.

    Finally, is there anyone who likes this silliness where your attacker on a breakaway suddenly decelerates (for no reason whatsoever) in order to let the defender catch up? Again, it seems to be embedded in the code so that good players don’t just breakaway (and stay away) against lesser layers, but it’s so dreadfully unrealistic (and no fun) as to be laughable. I’ve got Vini Jr. with 99 pace and he’s away on goal when he suddenly looks like he’s running through sand. It’s an absolute joke.

    But nothing is a bigger joke than the lack of any serious dialogue with EA via these forums. It’s like talking to a wall. They set this up but don’t appear to care about our feedback. I count maybe three or four moderators and mostly all they do is police the guidelines. Even when you post about a legitimate bug you seldom get any reply. Suffice it to say, I’m not going to be giving EA anymore of my money unless/until something changes.
