Feedback on Player Behavior and Fair Play in EAFC 26

I would like to provide feedback regarding the current player experience in EAFC 26. More than ever, matches have become affected by toxic behavior, specifically when players deliberately waste in-game time after gaining a lead. While it is understandable that players want to secure a win, this style of play has turned into a widespread form of toxicity that negatively impacts the environment and enjoyment for everyone involved.

The core issue is not only the lack of sportsmanship, but also how this repeated behavior creates frustration and reduces the overall sense of fair competition. When players exploit the clock instead of engaging in active play, the game no longer feels like a test of skill, but rather a matter of who can manipulate time more effectively.

Suggestion: 

I strongly recommend that EA consider implementing a dedicated reporting feature aimed at identifying and discouraging toxic playstyles, such as excessive time-wasting. This would give the community a way to flag unfair behavior and encourage fair play. Such a system could be paired with monitoring tools or post-match feedback options that help keep the competitive environment healthy. Adding this feature would show EA’s commitment to fostering a positive and balanced community, ensuring that EAFC remains a game where skill, creativity, and sportsmanship are rewarded — not toxic exploitation.

    This has been a problem for the past 10+ years and the thing is that you can't do nothing about it. You can't switch fast enough between your players for example second man pressing works up to a point where the right stick manual switching stops working properly after your opponent has the ball for a certain amount of time. My point is if we would have a tool or tactic that we could use in order to even have a chance to get the ball back or at least to put enough pressure on the opponent...

    THIS should be one of Ea.s top priorities. I get that differences in skill levels are a thing but for the more skilled to use that to excessively humiliate the lesser skilled should at a minimum BE ABLE TO BE REPORTED AS UNSPORTSMANLIKE.

    I was 7-2 down at halftime and still wanted to see the game out to try and increase my own ability at the game when the other person decided to start flexing his dribblingskills walking around, doing kickups and all the other shebang, clearly only wanting to waste time and destroy any little happiness i sill felt.

    This MUST BE FIXED EA!
