Please, Do NOT listen to FUT players when fixing GAMEPLAY

Guys, the problem with your game is that you cater to the WRONG audience. Everyone thinks the Gameplay is good this year, but you are in for a massive surprise. Does it take a certain skill to win matches ? Yes, but those methods are NOT the way real FOOTBALL is played.  I'll give you an example below. 

  1. There is no real FOOTBALL game in the world where a DRIBBLER can spin in circles and easily keep the ball around an entire backline of defense. This makes the game look RIDICULOUS. Getting rid of AI defending was the WORST decision made. MANUAL defending would have worked if and only if the entire passing and shooting was also set to full MANUAL controls.

2. Player switching - This allows the person on the controller to switch to a player WITHOUT THE BALL and lets the AI ATTACKER make the PERFECT PASS. I thought FUT players didn't want any AI assistance on defense? Why is there AI assistance on attack ? This makes absolutely no sense. You implemented MANUAL defending but kept AUTOMATIC AI attacking with player switching

3. Low Driven Shots - 95% of Low driven shots all go in. I have played this game in clubs, FUT, Career mode, etc and the Low Driven is extremely overpowered shot. It needs to be nerfed really really bad. Other shots need to be better.  Its as if every player in the game, no matter the rating is the best stiker on Earth hitting low driven shots in. 

4. L1 Thru ball pass - As a full MANUAL player, I appreciate the thru balls are more manual/semi this year. But because of the nerfed AI MANUAL defending the backline is CLUELESS. Allowing over the top balls to easily get hit past them. Full backs keep everyone onside and the CB's do NOT track the runners. AI DEFENDING NEEDS to be in the game. The only way to counter this is to spam R1  (Temmate contain) or R1 R1 (Double teammate contain) This is KILLING THE GAMEPLAY in defense. Especially in other modes like CLUBS where the Captain most of the time does not know how to use this feature. 

 

There are other issues with the game lilke 95th dept, etc etc. But the fact FUT players are the priority is destroying the GAMEPLAY in all other modes in the game. FUT should be its own game apart from Career, Clubs, etc....

    Agree on pretty much everything you've written. The only thing I'd mention is that EA doesn't seem to know what EA FC is meant to be: is it a football simulator game, ie a true reflection on game-play in real life; or is it a computer game based on football but not a simulator?

    You mentioned a few points brother, but the sad part is - There is just more and more to it. 

    1. Through Balls and Curved Shots - completely useless
    2. Passes are being more "manual" - Translation - The game keeps selecting the wrong players and even if it does not - the players are hiding behind the opponent unable to receive a pass.
    3. Right and Left back - completely useless - Their only purpose on the pitch is to cover the offside position and break the formation.
    4. Kick Off Glitch - I don't know why it even needs to be mentioned in 2026, but it still exists. 

    Then there is 95 depth meta , player switching etc. - The things that you mentioned. 

    You will not get a response from the community managers and neither will I, because they are just not the people who are developing the game. They are here to moderate the forums and sometimes tell you "We will forward your feedback" - That's why I gave up on making a post in this forum - There is simply no point. Nobody cares - Literally nobody. 

    People paid for the game and EA got their hype before GTA 6. That's quiet enough for them. Then there will be FC 28 - a huge marketing campaign right before release - "We added this new (not new btw) things and want to hear your feedback and the community's voice - Blah blah blah". It's the same every year. The sad part is that there is no alternative and us football fans and gamers are stuck with this unfinished game.
