FC27 Ultimate team game play???

I've been playing the FIFA/FC series since FIFA 17. A game that should be improving every year by adding meaningful features is somehow getting worse with every new release. Instead of focusing on pointless additions like Rush mode, which barely anyone seems to care about, why don't you fix the actual game?

How exactly is this supposed to provide a realistic football experience?

Is it realistic for a 5'0", 88-pound female player to run through an entire team of 5'11", 154-pound male players simply by spamming L1, knocking them off balance, and making it practically impossible to tackle her?

Fine, you've made defending harder. But how are players supposed to defend against these ridiculous situations involving mixed-gender teams and opponents who can spin their way through the entire pitch by endlessly spamming L1 or R1?

You've made passing more manual. Fine. Giving players more control over their passes makes sense. But can someone explain how player switching in defense has become so unbelievably terrible?

I can't even switch to the player I want. By the time I finally get control of the right defender, it's already too late.

You claim to have made defending more manual, so how on earth has player switching become this awful? How have defensive player movement and control regressed to such an embarrassing level?

The new corner system is different, sure. But why does taking a single corner almost take longer than playing an entire match?

And defending corners? Seriously, what is this?

Even the player taking the corner can barely predict where the ball is going to land, yet I'm expected to defend the entire situation with one player who remains locked as my selected defender?

Previously, if the ball went backwards or the play shifted away from the player I had selected, control would automatically switch to another player. Now I'm stuck trying to defend a massive area with one uselessly selected player.

A player barely 4'7" tall can somehow get a free header at the back post. The attacker can get to the ball because it falls right in front of them, but my defender can't even make an attempt to challenge it. Player switching happens at the last possible second, and by then, the damage is already done.

Seriously, instead of introducing ridiculous changes every year, why don't you fix the fundamental problems with the game?

And please, put an end to the absurd way mixed-gender teams are balanced. This is becoming a complete joke with absolutely no connection to realism.

Someone can dribble past an entire team by spamming L1 or R1, and you simply cannot tackle them. All you can do is stand there and hope they either take a shot and get rid of the ball or run it out for a corner.

I'm neither an exceptionally good nor an exceptionally bad player. I'd consider myself an average player. But I've been playing video games since the original PlayStation, and I honestly can't remember seeing a game become this ridiculous year after year.

There is no balance. There is no sense of realism.

Every year, we get updated squads and kits, while the company somehow manages to make the actual gameplay worse. Instead of improving the experience, you keep breaking the mechanics that made the game enjoyable in the first place.

You've turned this game into an absolute mess dominated by L1 spamming and ridiculously unbalanced female player mechanics.

And you have the nerve to charge more for a game that barely introduces any meaningful improvements than people are willing to pay for GTA 6?

Seriously, shame on you.
