My Dear EA, Enough is Enough…
EAFC 25 is a sad game and I regret buying it. Yes, I’ll start by making that clear. As someone who migrated to FIFA since 19, this game honestly makes me very disappointed.
For some reason, this game still has a ridiculous bug that is unacceptable to remain unfixed since (if I’m not mistaken) FIFA 23: WHY ON EARTH, WHEN I HAVE A PLAYER SENT OFF IN A MATCH, CAN’T I JUST SUBSTITUTE HIM BEFORE THE NEXT MATCH!?
I’m forced to change my tactics only for that one game, then reset everything again for the next one. This makes no sense at all and it’s ridiculous that it hasn’t been fixed yet!
And whose brilliant idea was it to disable the option to modify player positions in formations? It’s absurd that now I’m forced to use EA’s pre-set tactics. I’ve always played with 3 CBs / 2 Wingbacks / 1 CDM / 1 CM / 1 CAM / 2 Wingers and 1 Striker… and the game simply doesn’t even allow me to use a CDM, CM and CAM at the same time anymore!
Let us assign the Goalkeeper to take free kicks and penalties in tactics! In real life, there are keepers who do that, and it’s ridiculous to have this limitation. Same for not being able to send the keeper to the box for corners—just let us choose! Also, what’s the point of not allowing an outfield player to go in goal and the goalkeeper to play outfield? Or not allowing a youth scout to search for GKs and outfield players in the same trip? I also want to be able to change a player’s position from outfield to goalkeeper and vice versa—there are players whose attributes would clearly make more sense in the opposite role.
Then there’s the handball system, which is completely broken. Replays don’t even show it properly, because many times the ball clearly brushes the shoulder, and yet it’s still a penalty. Makes no sense at all.
And what did you do with corners? They’re terrible now. It’s not even worth crossing anymore—short passes are the only viable option.
I don’t know if it’s only in the Brazilian version, but the commentary also has a ridiculous flaw: every time the ball hits the hand and it’s called a foul, the commentator has no proper line for it and just treats it like a normal foul, which completely kills immersion.
And for God’s sake, add a balanced difficulty level between World Class and Legendary. The first one is way too easy, and the second one is pure hell—doesn’t matter if I’m winning 3–0, by the middle to end of the second half the opponents suddenly turn into Sonic and become untouchable, even if they’re 4th division English players and I’m playing on Simulation mode!!!
That’s it. Good night.
