Post patch useless game play

After playing around 10 games on fc25 on ps5 since that latest patch i can honestly say this is the worse update it's actually worse then when the game launched didn't think it was possible but hey ea you did it well done. 

the whole idea of this patch was to stop the meta 95 depth I can't really comment on if its stopped that because the gameplay is so horrible you can't notice the depth. 

passing is bloody horrendous no one can make a pass. 5 yard or 50 yards doesn't matter it's completely luck of the draw if its gonna make it to the target. 

dribbling Jesus Christ where to start its like being stuck in mud players don't move and you pair that with an already unresponsive game you literally get the biggest waste of time. 

defending is odd some games its feels like your in control other games the tackling animations are so slow and delayed that you will miss every challenge you put. Ai defending sometimes is responsive and sometimes its just like watching blind people driving on a motorway an absolute car crash. 

With the current state of this game being dependent on counter attacking I wouldn't be shocked to see people switch to a 5 at the back or the minimum of the 4213.  I don't see why they needed to continue to mess the game around this late in the cycle.  The only reason i think they have done this is because there's rumours they will release fc26 early due to gta 6 coming out sometime this year.  It makes me feel like what we are playing now is an open beta for fc26 where they are experimenting  on how we will respond to another below average game. 

i don't know how hard it is for ea to listen but  whoever they have listened to for this current patch is problematic they are not making a game that is fun or enjoyable they just aiding to what is already a toxic fan base

  • Yep, it is horrible and every update seems to make it worse. 

    Appreciate others get a totally different game from me but this is a problem in itself. 

    I get a slow, glitchy game, for me only, the squad battles AI can play like superhumans. Passing is probably less than half go where I’d intended, players first touch is horrific, dribbling impossible as players get stuck turning. Defenders just standing about, often turning the wrong way, switching is slow and every tackle ends up either doing nothing or a foul against. 

    A miserable experience.

    I think that can be the most infuriating part; other people do not experience the same issues.

    Every so often a streamer will pop up on my TikTok FYP and I'll see their gameplay where they're raving about how great this new player or that new player are and it is a completely different gameplay experience to mine.

    It's the same when I remember to put the Twitch streams on for the passive rewards. I usually throw it on the background while I'm working, and the gameplay they usually have is so unbelievably different to mine.

    I have noticed, though, in some of the most recent batch of ePro streams that some of the glitches, animation problems, delays, input not being accepted or being slow are even creeping into those eSports games.

    Everything you said mate fully agree with. Its absolutely bizarre how two peoples gameplay can be completely separate. Like I done my first champs sesh this morning and gameplay felt pretty good felt responsive felt i had control i am currently on my second half of champs and the game has switched back to how it was day of the patch.   What I don't understand is the ping isn't bad but the response time is completely in the mud. Like on behalf of the fc community all we want is consistent gameplay not a different feeling game every time we go to play it.

    Yeah, it’s completely unplayable right now. Got to stop playing because of that and advice everyone to give up on EA and play anything else but this disaster

  • The next edition its gonna be called "DELAY FC26 - Running in the mud"
    Cant wait!!

  • Very consistent now that my players are unresponsive, they stick when turning, can’t get a shot away without extra touches etc. Worse with better players.

    I played rush using 95 Saliba yesterday. I had to leave through embarrassment. The guy couldn’t move.

    The squad battles AI have no issues whizzing about like superhumans though. I payed a 53 rated team on legendary earlier and whilst I got there in the second half I could barely get near them first half to get a tackle in, which wouldn’t have worked anyway. 

  • EA don't care. They just want more money. that's why evolutions are an ad for FC points and useless most times
