Re: Auto Pass Bug

Players automatically pass the ball when tightly marked by an opponent, even while performing 180 or 360-degree rotational maneuvers to evade direct tackles. These passes can be high lob passes on the wings or straight back passes, depending on the last direction faced by the player in possession of the ball. I believe the game’s script is designed to discourage prolonged dribbling. Instead of enhancing the defenders’ AI for smarter positioning, the script forces the player in possession to make automatic passes.

At times, this leads to unfavorable situations, particularly when a defender in our own half clears the ball instead of exploiting open space to dribble. For instance, a player like Marcelo is scripted to pass immediately rather than dribble, regardless of whether the midfield is tightly marked or lacks supporting players in the right positions to receive a pass.

EA should stop implementing buggy scripts that force players to pass or clear the ball. I’ve also noticed other scripting issues in different scenarios:

1. Two nearby players often collide, causing the ball to be lost due to poor positioning or a lack of positional awareness.
2. When a player is too close to the ball carrier, pressing the pass button results in what feels like a self-pass.
3. Players run excessively without proper understanding of the correct gaps, positioning, or the required amount of running, leading to lost possession. The attached video, intended to record only goal-scoring moments, also captures this frantic running, which drains stamina unnecessarily and compromises the defense. I’ve observed that the receiver who is about to receive the ball will lose it due to ‘mad dog running.’ I had to pull back forcefully and immediately, as you can check in the share link video.

These scripting issues need to be addressed to improve the gameplay experience.

My players are automatically passing the ball without my control whenever I try to score please help

It doesn't happen due to the AI's auto control. It occurs when you twist your mobile controller 360° or 180° to avoid tackles from an opponent. Even though I haven't enabled any auto AI control, this still happens. EA FC Mobile developers need to address this, as their code seems to cause it. This issue is common and frequently occurs in my game.

It is little hard to post video of the game. As it would lag and heat the game while recording. Even if somehow I managed to take video, it would look like normal pass. 

To Reproduce the bug:
Make the player hold the ball near the nearest opponent. Then perform dribbling in a zigzag pattern, avoiding straight dribbles. Keep moving the ball to and fro in a zigzag manner while the opponent remains close to the player holding the ball. This will eventually create an auto bug pass randomly.

1. Not Related to Clearing the Ball (red icon on player's head): This issue isn’t connected to the red exclamation sign indicating a player is about to clear the ball. It’s a separate issue altogether.

2. Auto Pass Behavior: The auto pass occurs unexpectedly, regardless of whether you’re in your own half or the opponent’s half. When tightly marked, attempting to evade defenders using zig-zag or to-and-fro movements triggers the game to automatically pass the ball. While this may encourage passing-oriented gameplay, it frustrates players who rely on skill dribbling or prefer a dribbling-focused style.

3. Justified Gameplay and Unintended Consequences: Skilled dribblers often use zig-zag movements to avoid marking. However, the auto pass disrupts this strategy. Sometimes, it results in unintended passes to teammates or even opponents, affecting the game’s flow.

4. Lack of Clarity for Players: The EA FC Mobile developers should explicitly inform players about the auto pass behavior. If the game prioritizes passing over dribbling, clear communication would help dribbling-focused players adjust their playstyle accordingly.
