FC 25 (23.12.25) Why is everything so Buggy/Broken?

Hello everyone,

After i contacted the support to help me, he told me to write here.
So i hope you maybe find or maybe better, you have allready a solution for my problems.

First of all, i knew they patched alot. Nerfed / "Fixed" or Buffed things. But since the last Big Major change, my game feels awefull.
I played in FC24 Most of the time around Division 2 and in FC 25 I´m between Div 1-3.

So lets count my issues Together:

Major Issues:

1) Powershots / and the Badget.
My players dont realy shoot much quicker with it. They shot around 2-5 Km/h faster, but thats it. They are super unprecice, even if have the line for aiming on actiiv and they are super slow in ther animations. Btw my evolved Selina Cerci lost the entire skill. She still has the badge, but its not working.
I can understand that many player thought "its OP", but since the last patch, its useless. I have very special evo player, who should easily kick them into the corner with their powershot plus,
But yeah, since the Animations isnt most of the time quicker anymore, its allways a save defense.
2) Header
Thanks to all complainings the Header got ridicolous nerfed.
Yes they were strong ... but just when the Attacker was Free or the defender missed it.
My Harry Kane with 95 Header acc. (Header white badge) and 99 Jumping 94 strength cant header anymore.
Look at this stats, and he is not able to header, against any defender. And when he get a header, he head them super slow or high, that the keeper can super easy catch them.
I tried alot. Move him free, tried to precise head the balls, tried to hit them direkt on the goal. Nothing works anymore.
3) Finesse
Thanks to all complainings aswell, Finesse shots are now super terrible in close distance, and still buggy in long distance.
Specialy after a pass, my Del Piero or Harry Kane turn around and shoot them perfect into corners.
At the box its allways get catched ... at the corner of the box, it circles super wierd around the keeper.
4) Dribbling and Defense
I know many of you play this "fifa street" style, right stick abuse stuff, and don´t go for crosses or corners. But thats not how a football game should work.
It happens so often, that my defender just slip of the ball, the attacker can dodge my defender and have an open net.
Before the last Major Patch i could easily defend things manually. "Yes i´m a manual defender". But at the moment it feels so awkward.
My defender are sometimes not targetable even with the "switch triangle" on top of them, or it switches super ugly around.
But the dribbling moves are often way to strong and can dodge a defender who have 95 in defense with a good timed takle.
Or the defender should let them run offside. But sometimes they just follow them along, and break the offside line entirly.
5) Sprint Speed
I dont know why, but e.g. my Pajor with Rapid Plus and 98 Sprint speed, looses so often their sprint lineups. She is not the only one. My Lauren Hemp (after evolution and 97 Sprint speed and Rapid), my Jess Park 99 Sprint speed with Rapid plus or my Leeroy Sane with Rapid and 99 cant outrun a defender too.
They often get a super easily catched up.
My Bensebaini 99 speed can´t catch a Traore or Vini or Salah.
And i´m confused because when the match goes to the 80 minute, my opponent defenders are still sprinting like freshly in and my changed Frimpong 99 Speed and Rapid has massiv problems.
6) Game Settings Reset / Tacttics dont work correctly
The most anyoing thing for me, are this "setting resets".
Sometimes they are safed. Sometimes they are switched but dont work. Sometimes they are switched but not safed ....
I shoot with precise option on, and sometimes its just on manual. Then i go into the settings, change it on assisted. Safe it, go back again and change it on precise and then it works correctly.
And thats not the only thing. Passing, player switching, crossing, defending ... everything is changing "passive". I dont have right now any game session, where i dont have to check it.
To the Tactics, its the "line of defense". If you set it on e.g. 58. When your match starts, it isn´t on 58. Its on 50 Balance if you check it.
So i have every Match to manually change it on my wished number.

 
Smaller issues:
- Passing still went everywhere. Atm i´m using "charging" for my pass option, just because "late" dont chooses so often the player behind even with 5% pass power.
- Long high passes allways get catched. Even if i have the faster player, they start to slow down, drop behind the defender. Sometimes in Champs and Rivals i have opponents where their attacker don´t slow down, and the pass go much more precise and far away. I checked guides for it, but its not working ... dont know why.
- Player start to ignore their position. my lb means to play lw. or my lm means not to fall back, and stays at the middle line, even with the winger position.
- defense like snakes. So the defender moves totally around the attacker with their tackle, but if they straight infront of them, they kick in their knees ?!?!?
- Post defender at corner, dont do anything. Had multiple times now, that my Harry Kane, dont know why he is at the Post, stand their and the ball went through his legs or under his arms and he didn´t moved or flinched.
- Game speed is sometimes on normal and sometimes on quick. (I want the quick option back!) The game felt so much smoother on quick.
- in Teammanagment you want to switch a player, and cancel your locked player, you get kicked back into the Menu.

Last Words:
I realy have to say, i liked the game much more, before all patches at the end of november and beginning december.
The Game is for me unplayable right now.

I hope you can help me her with your solutions.

  • This game is unplayable for me as we discuss this! I can say tons but I am trying to use pointers to point out what a mess it has been patch or No Patch

    I reached out to the customer team as well. I have demanded refund in totality and they said I will be rewarded by the Developer once they see the update notes! 

    1. The game is terribly different for me & my opponent. What works for him won't work for me. I am using a 800 MB-1GBps Fiber optic connection and there is still delays. Unresponsive at its best. 

    2. What happened to the pace of my attackers? Viktor Gyökeres is bonkers bad. Even after allowing specific roles my wingers are continuously pulling back. Even when I press L1 they will not make runs into the box. 

    3. We all know how stats for defenders are quite wrong when it comes to pace however when facing very good, fast strikers and wingers the only chance a defender gets when beats  is getting a good sliding tackle or standing tackle followed by ball retention. NO! Literally after getting the perfectly right tackle, the defender stays on the ground and the attacker carries the ball. (However the players I face are so bad and they end up missing). Don't get me wrong, these are bad bad players who have spend tons on coins and have a 15 million dollar team without footballing IQ. 

    4. Each move is a drag deepening on what time of day it is. For instance my RB/LB taking on the opponents wide midfield will result in me beating them, then clashing with them, then getting up, being found (no yellow or red) then both collide and the opponent takes the ball and runs towards my defense. Why is this so ridiculous? 

    5. My keeper comes out (courtious) runs towards the ball that's about to be on edge of the box extends his arms and somehow ball slips out of his hands. There's no pressure on him, no player around him and the ball bounces away to which he retires and misses it since there is an attacker on him by now. Possession lost, player passes or squares and goal! 

    6. The game was 50% AI. Meaning I stopped doing plenty of things and I jumped from D5 straight away On my way! to  D2 in a week's time. But then it changes depending on time of the day. I played slow, fast, medium paced, did less, did more, did nothing, did everything, did the absolutely correct things and still ended up losing balls in the most ridiculous fashion. It's as if I am playing FC25 but the controls for my opponents are that from Fifa 98. Easy tackle, pass, shoot. 

    At this point there is clear EA DDA! There is clear analytics they use to monitor hours spent by each players. They have done very good psychological research of how. human mind works to play, to enjoy to win and they will give us a combination of it with 30% success rate just so players thrive long enough and end uo spending more coins (we all know your scandalous game EA) 

    I have by this point saved hundreds if not thousands of videos. I save 7-8 each game. These videos aren't some amazing goal vids but in fact a proof of complete mishaps and shi.. f..kery by EA. It still doesn't justify the intensity and timing at which these mistakes occur but they are pretty much game changing. This company needs to absolute go out of business. It's time someone else comes into it. An Elon with a good competing attitude should do because at this stage EA has made a beaucrat monopoly out of the worst product there is on market.
