Frustration with Game Mechanics and EA Sports’ Inaction

I hope this message finds you well—although considering the issues with your games, I can only assume you’ve been too busy to notice the countless frustrations your loyal players have been experiencing. I am writing to express my deep frustration and disappointment regarding the ongoing problems with your gameplay mechanics, particularly the automatic passing and kicking features, which seem to have been designed to defy logic.

For over a year now, players have voiced serious concerns about these mechanics, yet your team’s response has been akin to a ghost—absent and invisible. The persistent problem of automatic passing has effectively removed any semblance of enjoyment from the gameplay. It’s quite something to watch my player decide to pass the ball without my input, resulting in blunders that would make even a toddler chuckle. Perhaps you believe this adds to the "realism," but it truly undermines the experience for those of us seeking genuine control.

Moreover, the automatic kicks that often go backward seem to be a peculiar feature designed by someone who clearly does not understand the fundamental rules of soccer. This bewildering choice in mechanics is unacceptable in a game that claims to prioritize player control. Bravo, EA Sports, for making my players develop new and exciting ways to miss the goal!

It’s disheartening to see that such fundamental issues have gone unaddressed for what feels like an eternity. As a loyal player, it’s frustrating to feel unheard and ignored, while your team continues down this path of poor game design. I urge you to take this feedback seriously and to actually implement the necessary changes. In the meantime, I’ll be over here, reminiscing about the days when gameplay was truly enjoyable—if you ever need help with that, I’m just a message away.
