Re: Goalkeeper and Defending Performance Feedback

EA has intentionally nerfed goalkeepers now so that players can quickly buy a high overall goalkeeper with just average performance. The reality is that the performance of all goalkeepers has gone down horribly. Every match is a total joke because keepers fail to make basic saves and let every ball in. It makes no sense that spending coins or shards on upgrades feels completely useless because every goalkeeper now performs the exact same as a basic low-rated keeper. This artificial nerf is an absolute disappointment.

    The current state of defense and goalkeeping in FC Mobile is completely broken and unplayable. Goalkeepers fail to execute basic saves and diving animations, making players concede way too many easy goals every match. The mechanical coding is severely ruined; legendary Icon keepers that used to be completely overpowered now perform exactly like basic cards. Furthermore, tall goalkeepers who previously dominated the meta are now performing significantly worse than short keepers. EA has brutally nerfed all low-OVR keepers across the board, intentionally forcing players to purchase expensive high-overall cards just to experience a terrible, restricted playstyle. To make matters worse, the defensive AI is deeply flawed. Defenders constantly push out of position, leaving massive empty spaces behind them, or they simply stand there watching the ball pass by without attempting a block. This frustrating combination of broken goalkeeper animations and useless defender AI completely ruins the competitive aspect of the match.
