“EA Ultimate gameplay is unfair: passing ignores input and decides matches”
EA Ultimate is no longer just problematic — it has become clearly unfair. The passing mechanics, in particular, are in an unacceptable state for a competitive football game.
This is no longer a “bug” or a “learning issue”:
- Passes made with the same power and angle result in completely different outcomes from match to match
- Player input is deliberately ignored
- The game itself decides where the pass goes, not the player
Players with 90+ passing stats misplace the simplest passes even under zero pressure, while opponents using lower-rated players can string together perfect passing sequences. This clearly shows that the game does not operate in a neutral or fair way.
It gets worse:
- Opponent AI intercepts passes with inhuman speed and reactions
- Our players just watch the ball instead of reacting
- Identical contacts are called as fouls for one side and completely ignored for the other
This is not a “skill gap” issue — it’s about who the game decides to favor. Making the right decisions and timing passes correctly often does not matter at all.In a mode like Ultimate Team, which is supposed to be built on competition and balance, this level of inconsistency and unfairness is completely unacceptable. Right now, matches are decided not by player skill, but by the mood of the game engine.A clear message to EAThis gameplay needs immediate attention. Passing physics, direction control, and AI intervention must be urgently reworked and patched. Otherwise, this game will continue to be uncompetitive, frustrating, and a complete waste of time.
