Button Delay and Issues in Champions Make Fair Play Impossible
Dear EA, how many more times do we have to beg you to fix this? We pour massive amounts of money into your game, spend thousands of hours playing and building our squads. You know exactly what needs to be done to improve things, yet you keep cynically flipping us off.
Today's Champions gameplay was an absolute nightmare. The button delay was out of this world. I perform a roulette—no response. Three seconds later, my player finally executes it.
My best players, whom I worked hard to acquire and who are incredible in real life, move like they’re stuck in quicksand. It feels like I’m playing with silver cards. They don’t react properly to my inputs, while my opponent moves as if he's got a squad 1000 times better. And yet, I have Maradona, for whom I spent 1000 FC Points, Neto, whom I evolved over several days, Henry 93, Zidane 94, and so on.
My defense falls apart like it’s mocking me. My centre-backs wander around like lost children, my CDMs sprint forward while opponent attacks, despite having the "Stay Back" instruction. So I switched to a formation with two CDMs, setting them as Centre Half - Defend. No difference whatsoever. This game is a joke.
I also notice that sometimes my opponents suffer from this issue while I don’t. The game is completely unfair.
During the week, Rivals feels like a different game. Weekend League feels like a different game.
Do we need to record everything along with input logs and upload it to YouTube for you to finally acknowledge it? Will you ever start respecting us?
R00TCo, Antisocial SC, Xbox Series X, Poland, Internet connection: 800 Mb/s, ping - usually 2-3 ms, max 20 ms. FC 25 is the only game, and actually the only online thing I use, where I experience ANY issues. If even 1/10 of these issues happened in FPS games, they would be absolutely unplayable.
