The state of FC 25
Hi EA team,
I just wanted to share some honest feedback as someone who genuinely wants EA Sports FC 25 to succeed. I’ve put a lot of time into the game, and I appreciate the work your team has done, especially the innovation around Player Roles, dribbling mechanics, and the continuous updates that show your commitment to improving gameplay.
That said, there are a few growing frustrations that I and many others in the community are feeling, and I hope you’ll seriously take them into consideration:
- Matchmaking is becoming more and more discouraging. I consistently face extremely difficult opponents, even in modes where team balance or skill should be factored in. It feels like the system isn’t creating fair or consistent matchups, which makes competitive play feel more punishing than rewarding.
- On PC, the game is becoming increasingly hard to enjoy due to hackers and cheaters, especially in FUT Champs and Rivals. Without visible action or statements from the team, many of us feel abandoned. It’s tough to stay motivated when you’re constantly up against people exploiting the system with no repercussions.
- Lastly, even with high-speed and stable internet, the amount of input delay and button lag during peak hours or high-stakes matches is getting worse. It makes the gameplay feel inconsistent and adds to the frustration when every split-second decision matters at a high level.
I say this not to be negative, but because I care. The community is the heartbeat of this game, and when it feels like these issues aren’t being acknowledged, it’s easy to feel unheard. Please continue communicating openly with us. Even updates that say “we hear you” go a long way.
Thank you for reading, and again, I truly want FC 25 to thrive.
