I’m officially done!

Moderators you can celebrate. You are finally rid of me!! This will be my last post here...

Not because I’m losing. Not because I can’t improve. But because the game has completely lost sight of what it’s supposed to be:

Fun.

Somewhere along the way, EA forgot that. And worse — the way they treat their player base keeps showing the same thing over and over again: a lack of respect.

This isn’t just a “bad patch” or a few bugs. The core of the game is broken.

Passing feels like a suggestion, not an input. You can aim perfectly and still get the wrong result, while through balls cut through defenses like logic doesn’t exist.

And the worst part? A bad pass isn’t just a mistake — it’s a guaranteed turnover.

It doesn’t go slightly off. It doesn’t miss your player.

It goes perfectly to the opponent like it’s magnetized.

You can win a tackle cleanly — perfect timing, perfect positioning — and the ball just bounces straight back to the attacker like nothing happened. Over and over again.

Defending doesn’t feel like skill anymore. Tackles from behind work better than actually defending properly. Physical battles make no sense. Stats feel irrelevant.

AI is either asleep or actively working against you. Defenders wander out of position, attackers hide behind opponents, and midfielders react like they’re a few seconds behind real time.

Dribbling? Dead.

Creativity? Punished.

Mechanic abuse? Rewarded.

And then there’s how the game actually feels to play.

Players are unresponsive.

They turn like trucks.

Everything feels heavy and delayed — like your inputs have to fight through mud before anything happens.

• Players randomly slow down for no reason

• First touches turn into disasters

• Simple passes become impossible

• Speed stats feel meaningless

• Input delay makes every match feel different

You’re not just playing your opponent — you’re fighting the game itself.

Add in servers that feel worse, rewards that don’t match effort, and a system that seems more focused on monetization than player experience, and it’s hard not to see where the priorities are.

Even outside gameplay, there are issues. Legit players getting flagged by automated systems with no clear explanation, no transparency, and no real support. That’s not just frustrating — Its treating your players like they are your enemies... That breaks trust.

And that’s really what this comes down to.

The game doesn’t reward football intelligence.

It doesn’t reward good decisions.

It doesn’t reward skill.

It rewards whoever is best at abusing what’s broken.

At that point, what are we even playing?

This isn’t competitive.

It isn’t realistic.

And most importantly — it isn’t fun.

Until that changes, u all take care✌️

  • It's truly a weird game!

    You can have some matches in a row when everything feels smoth.. Passes goes where you want, AI take intellectual runs, speed is good, defending is good, shots at goal is good, and so on.. Everything feels right. Then - all of a suddent everything change. Your ping and internet conection is the same, but nothing work! Not just because you are facing a better opponent. AI stand still, passes go to different directions than you are aiming,  and you start wondering if someone have taken over your controller. When you want to sprint it's like your player runs in mud, all your shots hit the post, just outside or are miracelous saved by the keeper and so on.

    I totaly understand your frustrations!

    And EA don't want us to talk about scripting... 🤔😂

    You basically said exactly what I’m going through rn. Just because i don’t spend scripting and matchmaking feels intentional.I’m actually fighting for my sanity almost all the time. Basically i can 100% say none of those at ea actually watches/plays football. This is just troll and money laundering scam fuks. And what’s worse, this toxic community is also part of the reason this game ain’t fun anymore. Have fun giving all your money to ea okay. At the end there’s nothing left in this game if you’re “Op”

    Tried the game after not playing for 2 months and its beyond bad.  Nothing seems to work consistently and I mean like everything you mentioned.  Been playing fun games the last 2 months and I noticed that playing this game is frustrating because of the lack of game responsiveness.  The entire seems scripted, there doesn't seem a reason to not play meta because its overpowered. The meta is deliriously boring to play.  As for input delay, I dont want to go there as this problem is several months old with several seconds delay.  No point in playing the game anymore.  I'd rather play games that are fun rather than playing FC AI mortal kombat.   Crap game by a crap company...streamers that are still promoting this game are delusional anything will ever change.  EA can suck my soccer balls down their throat.

    @EA Sports

    Right now, it feels like you’re doing more damage to the game and its player base than any external factor ever could.
