This recording shall show you what I mean and if many others are in my shoes.

i am writing this because i have completely hit a brick wall with this franchise and i am tired of being ignored and treated like an amateur by both the developers and the automated support system let me make it clear right from the start that i am neither a pro player crying over a lost match nor someone who does not understand how video games work i know football i know how to read a match and i know the absolute difference between getting outplayed fairly by a better opponent and fighting a game that actively fights against controller inputs match after match

i recorded a full unedited forty four minute session of gameplay because words are no longer enough to describe the state of this product and everything marketing tries to feed us in their deep dives is a complete mismatch with reality designed to protect the store rather than deliver a functioning competitive title

if you look at the raw file linked at the bottom of this post you will witness with your own eyes the exact systemic failures that destroy any sense of competitive integrity in this game:

first the automated defending mechanics and positional behavior throughout the entire forty four minutes you can see my opponent doing minimal manual inputs while their defensive line tracks every single movement of my attackers like a guided missile holding down pressure and instantly locking onto my player matching speed turning instantly and closing down passing lanes without having to time a single tackle while my own teammates stand around as statues looking at the ball rolling past them completely unresponsive and refusing to hold a basic defensive shape leaving massive gaps for the opponent to walk straight through right from kickoff or immediately after scoring

second the passing and responsiveness issues every single pass i attempt runs into an automated interception system where opposing players stretch out or perform automatic interceptions even when facing the wrong direction while my players take heavy touches as if stuck in mud taking extra frames just to register a simple command compared to opponents who receive crisp instant animations allowing them to pass through multiple defenders with absolute precision

third the animation locking and input delay are completely out of control controller inputs get overridden by game code depending on match momentum when i press tackle my player is restricted to stiff clumsy animation loops that miss the ball while the opponent gets rewarded with clean tackles that win the ball from behind without fouls my players feel heavy and sluggish and no amount of clearing cache resetting routers or checking low ping fixes a core software defect baked into the engine

all standard advice telling people to get good or use tactical positioning is an insult because manual defending breaks down completely when game code decides an opponent is scripted to score or inputs get delayed to create artificial drama and close scorelines

i do not want pathetic in-game compensation packs or useless player cards meant to shut me up and i do not want another automated response telling me to post in a bug megathread where feedback goes to die i am putting this raw unedited footage out in public for anyone to examine because people need to see how broken and anti-competitive this game has become and until the underlying netcode scripting and animation priority systems are fixed instead of hiding behind store updates and copy-paste support scripts this community will keep pointing out the truth because at this point we are paying top dollar for a yearly update wrapped in a system where outcomes are heavily influenced by background algorithms while millions flow from store packs relying on frustration loops to keep people hooked for digital cards that become obsolete in twelve months and if any moderator thinks they can delete posts or sweep forty four minutes of evidence under the rug they are delusional because the files are out there and no amount of censorship washes away the reality of dead competitive integrity
