Bugs&improvements
MAJOR ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE FIXED :
Giving a foul despite having possesion : very troublesome and often ruins a goal scoring opportunity or causes someone else to score due to the foul being on your side.
Fix offside rule : despite a player not even touching the ball and offside is given. Sometimes it is meant for and goes to another player yet the person far away from the ball causes an offside unfairly during a goal scoring opportunity. Relax the rules of rebounding of defenders or goalkeepers it is technically the opponents last touch if this happens.
Shooting and keeping should be reasonable : finesse shots go in from 10° angles with maxed out best keepers not being able to save. Keepers often let go very easy grounded ball rolls(not shots)and just stand there. During gk rush the normal shot (just pressing the shoot button) isnt good enough nor realistic, keepers easily save well-aimed, hard shots meanwhile during a finesse shots they just fall to the ground and rarely save it.
Handballs : there is literally no rule, I have never seen a defender or a gk outside the box getting a foul for it , during gk rush it shouldn't be allowed to use hands as a gk
Consider the situation in fouls : it makes no difference when the entire defense is on the half line and fouls a striker who is about to get past them there is rarely a yellow given, it should be red like in real games where the situation is also considered. Without the foul the striker would have easily scored so it doesn't make sense. Penalties are also given unfairly when defenders do things out of our control and move themselves, the area of the fouls is not considered at all. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS WHEN THE GK TERRIBLY FOULS SOMEONE, IT SHOULD BE A RED AND NOTHING IS GIVEN VERY RARELY A FOUL IS GIVEN AND SOMETIMES A YELLOW. IT IS IMPRACTICAL TO NOT HAVE A GK IN THE REAL MATCH BUT EITHER THE RESERVES SHOULD BE GK OR SOME OTHER PLAYER FROM THE STARTING 11, IT IS BAD THAT NOTHING IS DONE ABT THIS.
Allow defenders to be controlled : for every player there is some sort of barrier or constant automatic force applied in the direction of the ball or player. Many want to call the 2nd defender, mark a player and chase the player with the ball. It is impossible as everybody constantly goes to the same person and going behind in this game without the ball is practically impossible even when I try my hardest to go behind my defenders won't budge and they will only go when the ball goes behind them, by that time the attacker is already through, please atleast allow us to control our own players and partially remove the barrier we have during a player standing still orr the animation after the foul. Even when the ball is abt to go outside my players chase it despite me dragging the joystick in the other direction, this wastes thier stamina.
Sensible switching : one of the biggest issues in the game is when attackers are equipped to defend, please remove this feature or decrease the tendency of attackers defending in order to spare stamina. However the main issue is when multiple players are close to the ball and the player usually closest to the ball is given control even though he may be in an awkward position and absolutely unable to retrieve the ball in any way. ALWAYS SWITCH THE BALL TO DEFENDERS OR SOMEONE WHO IS BEHIND THE BALL NOT INFRONT , ITS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TACKLE FROM BEHIND SO PLEASES FIX THIS ISSUE AND 90% AUTO SWITCH OR MANUAL SWITCH TO THE PERSON WHO IS FACING THE OPPONENT OR SIDE BY SIDE. MARKING IS IMPOSSIBLE IN THIS GAME AS SWITCHED PLAYERS CONSTANTLY FOLLOW THE BALL THIS SHOULDNT BE THE CASE AND FORMATIONS CAN EASILY BE BETTER MAINTAINED IF THE SWITCHING WAS SENSIBLE. A MUCH STRONGER ALGORITHM IS NEEDED
There should be a greater tendency to pass to the free person in the case of it being directed in between to players. Usually in this scenario the CPU passes it to the player closer to direction of pass. However they should consider how free players are as usually passes need to be made under a second and event hough we mean to pass it to someone, somebody else is given the ball, again a stronger algorithm is needed this is a huge problem in gks also.
Fouls : fouls should be more fair, slight touches lead to yellow cards and absolute slide tackle career ending injuries aren't even given free kicks at times, usually the CPU is correct though it is still very unreliable. We should NEVER BE COMMITTING A FOUL ON A PLAYER WE CANT CONTROL. EVEN AFTER THE BALL IS PASSED ON MANY TIMES A FOUL IS SHOWN DESPITE US HAVING 0 CONTROL OVER IT. THERE SHOULD BE NO FOULD WHEN BALL IS AWAY SIMPLY BECAUSE WE CANT CONTROL IT UNLESS IT IS A GOAL SCORING OPPORTUNITY THEN EVEN RED CARDS ARE FAIR, AGAIN A STRONGER ALGORITHM IS NEEDED TO FIX THIS ISSUE. Also there should be a button which allows us to instantly claim a foul if we want the free kick maybe the button should even not give a free kick sometimes and allow us to play on when we want to, often there may be an even better opportunity of a goal and we don't want a free kick instead as we think we can easily take the ball back from the defender. I don't know the exact solution to this but this is a big issue within people who play the game.
PLEASE PREVENT PATHETIC WAYS OF PLAY : PLAYERS USING THE START GLITCH AND/OR JUST PASSING IT AROUND, WASTING TIME AND NOT JUST GIVING IT TO THE ATTACKERS AND NOT ACTUALLY PLAYING THE GAME (AGGRESSIVELY) LIKE ITS SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYED. Opponents often just pass it around and get some kind of opening at one point due to the players automatically being moved out of position, they get one chance score and then just pass it around for the rest of the game without even knowing how to dribble, skill move or take 11 players at once. Many opponents despite having way less skill win matches due to these cheap tricks, start glitch is easily fixable as i discussed earlier. And exclamation mark which is shown when the ball is in one half of r a long time could similarly be used for opponents when they are in your half just passing it around , it is impossible to defend often because defenders just don't mark them and we have to switch extremely fast. EVERY PLAYER CAN DO THIS IF THEY WANTED TO BUT PPL WITH LOW MORALE ABUSE THIS FREEDOM, HIGHER SKILLED OPPONENTS STAY AWAY FORM THESE TRICKS I AND OTHERS ALWAYS ARE ATTACKING OR ATLEAST GIVING THE OPPONENT A CHANCE EVEN WHEN WITH A LEAD. HOWEVER PPL WITH BAD TEAMS OR BAD SKILL JUST USE THESE CHEAP TRICKS BECAUSE THEY CANT DRIBBLE, PRECENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AND ALLOW THE MORE SKILLED OPPONENT TO WIN. I don't know the exact solution but I've stated this problem.
Make the screen adjustable : ME AND A LOT OF PPL WANT TO PLAY CLAW 3 FINGER OR FINGER EVEN, IVE TRIED IT AND I CAN GET TO SOME POINT HOWEVER THE BUTTONS ARE WAY TOO CLOSE TOGETHER TO EVER BE OPTIMALLY USABLE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO BRING YOUR INDEX DOWN TO SHOOT WHILST HOLDING THE SPRINT BUTTON, IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DO ADVANCED SHOOTING IN CLAW. THE BUTTONS ON THE SCREEN SHOULD BE ADJUSTABLE TO OUR LIKING ESPECIALLY THE SPRINT BUTTON IT IS WAYYYY TOO HIGH UP THE SCREEN. IVE ADAPTED TO IT BUT IT SHOULD BE MUCH MUCH CLOSER TO THE CORNER OF THE SCREEN. LIKE IN FORTNITE, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CUSTOMISE OUR BUTTONS.
BUTTONS GLITCHING : ONCE A GAME EITHER MY SPRINT BUTTON OR MY JOYSTICK REMAINS GETS STUCK TO ONE PLACE AND SPRINT BUTTON IS CONSTANTLY ON. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE I HATE IT BUT DONT WANT TO ELABORATE TOO MUCH. FIX AUTOSPRINT AND AUTOTOGGLE THE JOYSTICK OR AT MINIMUM ADD A SETTING.
DIFFICULT TO SEE GK RUSH EVEN WITH CAMERA ANGLE 3 : CAMERA ANGLE 3 GIVES THE LARGEST VIEW BUT EVEN WITH THAT USUALLY I SEE THE GK RUSH AT THE LAST SECOND AND DONT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO REACT, EITHER THE VIEW SHOULD EB EXPANDED, THE CENTRE OF FOCUS SHOULD BE CHANGED OR A NEW CAMERA ANGLE ADDED.
PLAYERS OFTEN EASILY LET GO A GROUNDED PASS WHEN IT WAS WELL WITHIN REACH
BAN HACKERS AND PLEASE REFUND THE CUPS LOST TO HACKERS
Less important issues:
SENSIBLE RATINGS : IT IS A CRIME TO NOT GIVE A PERSON LIKE PELE GREAT STATS, THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS STRENGTH HOW DOES 101 ADMA TRAORE HAVE LESSER STRENGTH THEN 101 PTER CROUCH THEY ARE POLAR OPPOSITES AND THE SAME CAN BE SAID FOR A FEW OTHER PLAYERS ASWELL.
MORE FORMATIONS WITH MORE TACTICAL ALLOWANCE : I WOULD WANT TO PLAY A 4213 LIKE IN console FIFA, MORE FORMATIONS SHOULD BE ADDED AND PLEASE REMOVE THE CF FORMATIONS.
10% TAX IS TOO MUCH : 5% IS MORE SENSIBLE.
THE MASCHERANO RANK UP %S SEEM TO LIE
I would greatly appreciative if EA could bring these solutions into motion, I request you to focus on the gameplay changes far more than the tiny issues in events. In my opinion they deserve far more importance.
