Gameplay Rant!!

We've had the same issues for nearly 10 years now! No matter what new HyperMotion animations they add or gimmicks such as FCIQ this is why the game feels the same every year! Player Switching, Player Movement, Crab Walking, Foot Planting, Inertia, Ping Pong Passes, Players always running Offside, Tackling being non-existent, Passes going to the wrong player, Passing/Shooting with their Weak Foot, GKs letting easy shots in but saving ones that Superman wouldnt reach!

And i haven't even mentioned the Dumb A.I. that don't think, react or move like actual footballers by not tracking back, pressing the ball or defenders that just let players stroll past them!

Now we have a Simulation mode in Career Mode i really hope they start applying these things too it and completely seperate it to the rest of the game, slowing the game down with Sliders is a start, but it's just the tip of the iceberg to what's actually needed going forward.. You can't just keep masking broken mechanics with new animations!!

Please watch a real football game!!

GenericFC It's huge yes, just need to go on X to see that a lot of the community are fed up with the state of the game.
For me the two urgent gameplay issues are that it's nearly impossible to score headers, certainly very very difficult & I've never known that part of the game to be in such bad shape.
The other is the speed of gameplay, simulation mode was supposed to be slower & more like real life football, that needs addressing only the speed of gameplay is way too fast currently & has been during the FC25 cycle.
Gimmicks like hypermotion which is not ever shown during replays in real life football & FCIQ which makes no difference to gameplay are a waste of resources, EA need to fix the core gameplay issues & stop adding nonsense to the game.
