Fix Fouls, Referees and Air Ball Realism

Dear EA Sports Dev Team,

I am writing to you as a passionate and long-time player of your football simulation games. While the game has advanced in many areas, there is a severe lack of realism regarding tactical fouls, refereeing decisions, and player errors that completely breaks the immersion.

We request immediate improvements in the following areas for the upcoming updates and future titles:

1- Tactical and Professional Fouls: In real football, defenders frequently make tactical fouls during counter-attacks to stop dangerous plays, often receiving professional yellow or red cards. In the game, defending players and AI rarely, if ever, execute these tactical challenges or automatic professional fouls during critical counter-attacks.

2-The Refereeing and Foul System: Compared to older titles, the current foul detection system is deeply flawed. Clear physical obstructions and aggressive tackles often go unpunished, resulting in a lack of free-kicks and penalty realism.

3-Goalkeeper and Aerial Ball Blunders: Goalkeepers in the game behave like flawless robots, especially during crosses. In real life, keepers make human errors—they misjudge aerial balls, drop crosses, or collide with defenders. We need goalkeepers to commit natural mistakes under pressure.

4-Air Ball and Defensive Errors: AI and user-controlled defenders rarely commit unforced tactical or physical mistakes under high pressure, making the gameplay feel scripted rather than dynamic and lifelike.

We love this franchise and want it to reflect the true, unpredictable nature of real-world football. Please bring back the realistic foul system and human errors.

Best regards,[Mahomud Gamal]
