Human Goalkeeper - Pro Clubs - The worst ever.

I Play as GK on PC since 2014 in Pro Clubs mode and it's the worst update and the one that has changed the most in the history of the franchise for the goalkeeper position. I played for about 20 hours and it's terrible and frustrating for those who were expecting the improvements you promised.

1- Pressing R3 to the side at the moment of the shot or during the animation simply leaves half the goal exposed and the goalkeeper has no reaction to defend some point-blank shots on his own.

2- You have introduced things that are impossible to achieve given the server response time, especially for shots from inside the area. There's no way we can expect the guy to shoot from inside the small area and react in time to defend, since this is a video game and we depend on delay, lag, input lag, and online servers. 

3- Sometimes you get everything right, positioning, R3, and even so, the ball goes in.

4- Short-range shots are very powerful, even if the offensive players are not completely up to date.

5- There are weak balls where you use a command like R3 or ball for the goalkeeper to hold the ball, and he does nothing, and the ball goes over his head.

6- The Far Reach Plus and others PS+ animation is still not activated on shots, just like in the previous game.

7- Holding down the triangle button on crosses no longer has any effect because the goalkeeper no longer goes for the ball, and when he does, he doesn't catch it. Even if you press the new “ball” button for the goalkeeper to catch the ball, sometimes he doesn't catch it. The controls simply don't work.

8- The way it was before was much less worse. Have you ever played in that position to know what it's like and how the servers respond?

9- I spent $3,000 on a powerful computer to run this new game smoothly on the Be a Pro camera, to play competitively, and look what you bring us. This is extremely discouraging. You need to fix this urgently. 

10- Now human goalkeepers are worse than BOTS. Unless you are a superhuman with super reflexes and play inside EA's server, you will not be able to outperform a BOT.

11- Now all GK defensive assists are manual, regardless of whether you set the game settings to semi or assisted. Sometimes the ball passes just centimeters from the goalkeeper and he doesn't save it.

12- LT/L2 (Jockey button) does not work using the GK on PC. 

13- Often you time your jump right to grab or punch the ball, but your goalkeeper still loses the aerial battle to the attacker or defender and concedes a goal.

14- I've been playing this game mode in this position for over 10 years, and this time is definitely the most frustrating and humiliating of all.

    I've not enjoyed one tome I've played this 💩.

  • Too add a couple more things on 

     

    1. the gk camera on free kicks why so low down u cant evan see the ball?? 

    2. i dont know if this is true but someone said that now you have to dive like you do on a pen shoot out if u dont dive top corner bottom corner n middle correctly u wont save it like seriously how difficult and impossible are yous trying to make the gk position bring back gk from fifa 23 at least they responded and could catch the ball im seriously done with this position now thanks for ruining it completely and also bringing those silly overpowered low driven shots that everyone spams constant thank god i didnt buy this and my friend got it me 
    3. the camera glitch still happens when ball goes out for a corner too been here ages this glitch has 
    4. i want my gks hands back so he can catch the ball would be nice 
  • Ea if you can’t fix it,please bring back the old gk mechanics.

    PS. Even catching a cross is impossible.Gk instead of catching it,either he doesn’t nothing or dives to the ground

    Dude, the keeper system is literally broken, there is absolutely no point defending it... I have played the keeper position since fifa 2015, and the things that has always been a problem have been inconsistent button triggers detected, no button trigger registered at all, wrong animations triggered, positioning problems, keeper randomly rushing ball uncontrollably and last but not least not beeing able to call for the ball inside the box, and if you try to call it when a free kick is happening, you can't move... Ea needs to ditch the right stick to save the ball bull crap, cause they haven't been able to fix it for 10 years... The Ai keeper always outperformce human keepers with the right stick... If you try to save with the stick, sometimes the game either doesn't detect the input, or it detects the wrong one because of sensitivity issues. I hope they ditch it, and make it just button triggers, square for left and circle for right for example. It should be a big reward for playing and mastering the keeper position, not punishing like it is this year. I really hope they just revert it to last years controls, or make an option to toggle legacy keeper controls. Atleast last year and every fifa before this one was manageable and adaptable to play with...
