FIX FC25, ESPECIALLY UT

I’m writing this with every ounce of frustration boiling inside me, fists clenched, teeth grinding, and a controller I nearly smashed out of sheer rage.

FOR MONTHS, I’ve been begging — practically screaming — for someone at EA to fix the absolutely broken, unplayable state of gameplay in FC 25. And guess what? NOTHING has been done. Not a patch. Not a fix. Not even an acknowledgment. Just pure, agonizing silence while I’m stuck playing a game that feels like my players are wading through cement.

EVERYTHING IS DELAYED.

Passing? Delayed.

Shooting? Delayed.

Sprinting? Delayed.

Shoulder challenge? Doesn’t even register.

Tackling? Might as well not exist.

Do you understand how INFURIATING it is to press a button and have to wait a full second before anything happens?! In this game, that second is EVERYTHING. My players can’t even shield the ball properly. They get tackled from behind like they’re made of tissue paper, while my own challenges just bounce off the opponent and roll RIGHT BACK into their path like the game is actively helping them.

WHEN I TRY TO PRESS, there’s a delay.

WHEN I SPRINT, there’s a delay.

WHEN I SHOOT, I might as well send a handwritten letter to the player asking them to take the shot — because that's how long it takes.

My 98-pace striker breaks free on goal… and still gets caught from behind because of the delay in the shooting input. What kind of nonsense is that? My opponent can have a player 5 yards behind and still catch me because I dared to press shoot. Meanwhile, my defenders move like they’re half-asleep on NyQuil and just let the opponent jog right past them.

And the passing? Don’t even get me started. It's like the game has a MIND OF ITS OWN. My passes are sluggish, sloppy, and half the time they go in the complete opposite direction of what I’m aiming for.

Dribbling? Dead.

Turning? A joke.

Trying to shield the ball? Useless.

Every movement? SLOW. LAGGY. UNRESPONSIVE.

My players don’t move — they suffer.

EVERY angle, EVERY direction, EVERY movement — they are slow. Turning 10 degrees feels like rotating a battleship. A 90-degree turn? Don’t even bother. A 360? Might as well take a nap mid-spin. It’s not even football at this point — it’s a **bleep** disaster.

And then there’s the worst part: I LOSE. Over and over again. Not because I’m bad. Not because my opponents are great. But because the game is fundamentally BROKEN. I’m out here fighting both my opponent and my own players — and I have NO CHANCE of winning. ZERO.

I might as well pass the ball to my opponent and score their goals for them — because that’s what it feels like. I’m being set up to fail every single match. The gameplay is a mess, and EA has done NOTHING to fix it.

So I’m asking — no, I’m DEMANDING — again:

FIX THIS GAME.

Fix the delay. Fix the movement. Fix the broken inputs. Fix the imbalance. Fix the fact that I PAID for a game that actively sabotages me every time I try to play.

This isn’t a “bug.” This is sabotage. This is a disgrace.

EA, FIX FC 25. OR ADMIT IT'S A BROKEN, UNPLAYABLE JOKE.

  • You should test your connection on here. In game you can turn on the online input overlay. This will show how much or how little delay you have. 

  • They have no time for you and they don’t care about players and community managers here are busy doing nothing

    Mate I feel your pain it’s ridiculous how frustrating how not the odd one but every game is, my players who have got 5* weak foot try and do a 180 degree turn so they can shoot with the other foot and no word of a lie I’ve never won a header from a goal kick the opponent just climbs all over ya, all I ask for is 2 things, No1 to play an actual game of football and enjoy it and No2 to know who your actually playing against ie what division they are in cos I can’t get out of div 5 and there’s no way on earth my opponents are around the same division 

  • OzaNdeDezaR​ im also experiencing everything you just mentioned. often, I turn it on, get 30 seconds into a game & turn off my console. It’s unplayable & I’m not exaggerating.

     RadioShaqs​  EA have admitted they have delay within the game & the animations are broken. Stop the ISP propaganda mate we don’t wanna hear it

    Abysswalker07​ Exactly. That’s the sad truth, it’s not just about my issue anymore, it’s the complete lack of urgency or respect for the players who keep this game alive. The community managers should be fighting for us, raising hell until things get fixed, but instead it feels like we’re shouting into a void while they scroll past. We’re paying for a service that’s broken, and instead of transparency or action, we’re met with silence and copy-paste replies.

    shipo77​ Exactly, mate that’s the thing, it’s not just one bad match here or there, it’s every single game that feels stacked against us. Players doing unnecessary 180s, headers that we never win, getting bullied off the ball like our team’s made of cardboard it’s beyond frustrating.

    And you’re right, half the time we have no idea who we’re even playing against. If I’m stuck in Div 5, I expect to face Div 5-level opponents not people who clearly belong in the top divisions. All we want is fair gameplay and an actual football experience. That’s not asking for much.

    TrueHonestJohn​ when it gets to the point where you’re switching the console off after 30 seconds, that says everything. It’s that unplayable. And yeah, EA themselves have admitted there’s delay and broken animations, so it’s not “in our heads” or down to our ISP, it’s the game. We don’t need excuses or PR spin, we need fixes.

  • If you mean animation delay they will fix it next year by removing realistic gameplay. They were still trying to hold onto realistic gameplay this year.

    The thing is it’s not just recently it’s been the entire game from launch to now it’s just got worse and worse and worse, it’s no good saying things are going to be different and better in FC26 cos for all the complaints FC24 had they said it’s going to be different and better in FC25, they need to get rid of evo’s, and play styles, example Maldini the greatest defender of all time so he should be in game, prolific goal scorers in real life should be in game, the top ranked players of all time in there position should be in game, how many players in the last 5 yrs score bicycle kicks or finesse shots, week in week out, if a player in real life is the best at what they do they should be in game, baresi was a millions times a better defender than van dijk in real life so he should be in game, giving toney  an evo  with all the play styles to make him a better goalscorer than real legends of the game to be able to score goals he’s never scored before is ridiculous, just make the game fun and realistic, give players the traits that they are known for, if people want to do things like that for fun then make it a separate thing, like in boxing games it’s fun using manny the Pac-Man to knock iron mike out but it’s not realistic so it’s in a different category you wouldn’t play a game where no matter what boxer or division you was in but  everytime you would came up against fury, Ali, or Tyson knowing you can’t win would you but that’s exactly how FC25 feels like, it’s not fun or realistic
