Reboot everything next year
To start this, on the next game I have some suggestions to make it great again. First of all, bring the old-fashioned game back, keep the playstyles on but make them irrelevant, focus on the **blee...

EA has completely lost its identity.
At this point, it’s nothing more than a passing simulator… and a terrible one at that.
The worst part? Physics.
Defensive physicality is so overpowered that it has completely destroyed dribbling. There’s no reward for beating a player anymore because defenders don’t need to defend — they just spam x and win the ball.
No timing.
No positioning.
No skill.
Just spam x in defence and spam triangel in attack.
Trying to play creatively is actually punished. You attempt to dribble, take a risk, or play real football — and you instantly lose the ball because the contact system is completely broken.
And it gets worse...
Weak, low-strength players are outmuscling stronger players like stats don’t even exist. Your players get shoved off the ball like they weigh nothing, while your opponent just bulldozes through everything.
So what’s the point of attributes?
What’s the point of building a team?
What’s the point of doing anything other than spamming passes and hoping the game doesn’t screw you?
Because that’s what this has become:
A slow, unresponsive, inconsistent passing simulator where:
• Passing still feels random
• Tackles don’t stick
• Loose balls always favor one side
• Players move like they’re stuck in mud
And every match feels like the game is deciding outcomes instead of rewarding good play.
The AI is so dumb its shocking. It will at times just look at the ball and run the other way. No sense of positioning at all.
It’s a broken system.
EA has built a game where physical abuse beats football intelligence every single time.
Dribbling is dead.
Creativity is gone.
Skill doesn’t matter.
And that’s exactly why this game just isn’t fun anymore.
