Terrible game
Gameplay is incredibly unintelligent it holds ur hand autotackle everything. U have to play the meta way or not bother playing. Try to start a Coop game where u control both teams and see how much ...

They will not do anything about it. People are complaining about the same issues over and over again for years. The only new thing for next year will probably be a new marketing campaign full of new lies. This will be my last EA football game too.
About time a european gaming company starts creating a football game, people that actually understand how it's played
This is bad even for "soccer". Inconsistant, buggy, no customer support. Things that can be done better without any understanding of football.
I like your dream, but as long as football remains a game more than a sport, licensing will remain the biggest barrier to make a decent game. Estimations are around 1 Billion EUR that EA spends every year. This is a large entry ticket to pay. Only big money can afford that and big money is interested in making more money. Which will lead to the same problem as with EA: You don't need to be good. You need to be the best - which can be worse than good as long as you can buy exclusive rights for real football. Real names is is the main selling point. Who wants to play with Hackney FC or Borussia Grün/Rot Herne? This is why UT and lootboxing works. This is why everything else can be secondary: You need the minimal viable product.
The solution would be to ban the sales of exclusive rights for leagues, teams, players, competitions, anything. To break the EA cartel without going the Italian way to avoid a wild mix of real and fantasy names. This could lead to much lower licensing costs, more companies trying to go against EA, and more investments in the development of better games. (This would be great for TV/streaming rights, too).
Unfortunately, I don't suppose that that will happen. It would go against capitalism. And no one wants that. 😏
