This is not a football game anymore.
It’s a broken, scripted, unresponsive mess — and everyone knows it.
EA didn’t just drop the ball… they’ve completely abandoned the idea that this game should be FUN or SKILL-BASED.
Passing? Random.
Defending? Pointless.
Dribbling? Dead.
AI? Braindead.
You can line up a perfect pass and it goes straight to your opponent like the game decided you’re losing the ball. Not “slightly off” — perfectly gifted to them.
Tackles don’t matter.
You can defend perfectly, win the ball CLEAN… and it bounces straight back like the game is actively overriding you. Meanwhile, people spamming broken mechanics get rewarded.
That’s not gameplay. That’s manipulation.
Players move like they’re stuck in mud:
• Delayed inputs
• Random slowdowns
• First touches from hell
• Players turning like trucks
• Speed stats doing absolutely nothing
Every match feels pre-determined by who the game decides gets better animations. And no im not talking about DDA or scripting. Im talking about negative game mechanics used to make games more even. Like slowing ur players, or if u breath on my player he goes into a 3 second tumble. Overpowered counterattacks. The game is full of these negative mechanisms.
U even removed options that used to be on tactics in previous Fifa so we cant stop the counterattacking.
The game is developing backwards..
And the physicality? Completely broken.
A 155 cm player with 60 strength shouldn’t be outmuscling elite players — but somehow they’re throwing your striker off the ball like he’s a toddler. Meanwhile your players bounce off challenges like they’re made of paper.
Stats don’t matter. Positioning doesn’t matter. Timing doesn’t matter.
The game just decides who wins the contact — and that’s it.
That’s not a skill gap. That’s a broken system.
And let’s not ignore the bigger picture:
Servers feel worse.
Rewards are a joke.
Monetization is clearly the priority.
And legit players getting flagged by automated systems with ZERO transparency? That’s how you treat your community?
At this point, you’re not playing football.
You’re fighting delay, broken mechanics, and a system that rewards whoever exploits it best.
This game does NOT reward skill.
It does NOT reward intelligence.
It does NOT reward good decisions.
It rewards abuse.
Call it what it is:
A full-priced game built around frustration, inconsistency, and monetization.
Trailer and promises made by EA was a complete lie.
Fix it — or stop pretending this is competitive football.
Too call this a bad game would be a understatement. It is a complete scam product.
