Game not working correctly (players react slower, pass to other players, etc)
Hi everyone,
I had similar problems in last years edition, but this year it's just on a different level.
I have played EA FC 26 on different consoles and TVs, also I have tried other friends' profiles and this problems only occur on my profile.
My game is just not working correctly. These are the problems I encounter on basically every game I am playing:
- My players are slower:
it doesn't matter if I am attacking or defending, my players are always slower compared to the opponents' players. I have a player with 92 pace, opponents has a player with 70 pace, mine is slower. This happens in every game.
They are not only slower in running, but also in reacting and controlling the ball. Whenever I play a normal pass, my players always need a second or two to control a ball. The opponents can do 5-10 direct passes and the players react and control the ball within milliseconds.
- My players play badly:
My players almost always take the wrong decision. I try to pass the ball to a player who is 3 meters away, my players tries to pass the ball 20 meters in a different direction where 3 opponents are standing
- Rebounds:
This was a huge problem last year and for me it is still this year: Whenever the ball is intercepted or my goalkeeper saves a ball (which is rarely the case), the rebound ALWAYS goes to the opponent. It's even 3-4 times back to back rebounds that are jumping to the opponent although he is meters away from the ball.
- Automatic defending:
I would consider myself a pretty good EA FC player, having played the game for the last decade. So I know how to defend, either manually or automatically. It is incredible to see how my players act during defending. They always open up passing lanes for the opponents. When the opponent is in my box, my players are never close to the other opponents players, but always gives them space to pass the ball and shoot.
- Automatic pass/shoot blocking:
This is something that just does not work with my players. Every game there are 10-15 passes that pass either directly through the body of my players, or some centimeters by my players and they don't react or try to get the ball (yes, I have activated this option in the menu). Also, when an opponent is in the box, they can always just shoot through my players and the ball goes in every time. For me, the opponents can intercept impossible passes, my shots always go against a defender (and rebound to the opponents feet) and they just defend better in every situation.
There are many other problems that I am encountering in this game (I don't want to start about the "pack luck" which is there for every single player on the world, but for me), but these are the biggest and worst I am having.
It feels like I am playing against scripting every game, not against the opponent player and this is really annoying. There is not one "normal" game that I have played this year without having these problems. I am even thinking of buying a new console (currently playing on XBOX) and create a new profile to see if EA somehow put a virus on my profile...
Let's see if anyone reacts on this post. This will definitely be my last EA FC that I am buying and I don't think I will play it any longer. It's no fun anymore, it's just about playing with Meta Players and having scripting on your side.
Over and out.
