Cheating

Let’s call it exactly what it is — this game is fully manipulated. It’s not about skill or strategy anymore; it’s about deception. Players are being cheated. Forwards miss easy goals right in front of the net, defenders stand still and let opponents glide past, and the outcomes feel rigged.

 

I’m consistently losing to teams with noticeably lower strength, and that’s not coincidence — it’s by design. It’s obvious this is all set up to push players into spending money under the illusion that buying new players will improve performance. But it doesn’t. The results stay the same, proving that the game is rigged no matter what we do.

 

This isn’t just unfair — it’s outright dishonest. You’re not running a competitive game; you’re running a manipulation engine. It’s cheating, plain and simple.

  • I just finished another so-called "match," and it’s clearer than ever how pathetic and blatantly rigged this game is. I fought hard, managed to score a goal, and for a second, I actually believed I might win. But of course, within 3 seconds, the game pulls its usual garbage — the opponent magically scores from half-field. HALF FIELD!!!

    This isn't competition — it's scripted nonsense. It's built to make players lose when the system decides it, no matter how well you play. The outcome is pre-written. The illusion of control is the biggest lie this game sells.

    These thieves don’t reward effort, skill, or strategy — they punish it. They rob players. They manipulate results to force spending, and it’s honestly disgusting. This isn’t just bad design — it’s predatory.

    Fix this rigged mess of a game. Or stop pretending it’s anything other than a digital scam.

  • This has been EA’s methodology for decades. Free to Play, Pay to Win. They have always ignored the users who want realistic fair simulation. It will take a major movement to get them to change. Personally ai never spend money on this and never will. If I win, I win. If I lose, I learn. And if I smell cheating, I walk away and make a sandwich.

    As long as EA keeps making money, they’ll keep ignoring us. The only way to make them care is to hurt their profits. If you’re tired of the rigged gameplay, the forced losses, the scripted matches—then do something about it. Stop giving them money, and tell others to do the same. The more people we reach, the more pressure they’ll feel.

  • EA Sports is the Cheater itself.

    Bro you're spot on. It's not even lag. The system itself is rigged. Same boat, multiple files of tickets, but all I got is review stats and lvls of opponents(c'mon, maxed out 116 OVr and +30 Ginola vs lower lvl and ovr defenders, etc).

    Even after breaking it down EA help does NOT Help lol. They'll always go back to their scripts since they aren't SME's enough to address, let alone resolve the issues.

    [Observation]
    VS - Try either sprinting or doing power finesse shots, and see how the AI scaling reacts(aka RNG). 
    The results are highly improbable, aka it's rigged to have players play passively lest triggering the bots to score succeeding goals(even clearing or triggering the next turns to "fast-forward", the math just doesn't add up(aka basic chances same speed timing with good chances).
    - Try not scoring, and see how long it takes for a bot to goal(sometimes it just keeps losing chances), against an actual user playing(average is around 5seconds, vs 2 goals in like 1-3 seconds).

    H2H - EA is teaching the community to be lazy, as lower OVR and level teams scale performance to maxed  cards(116, +30 atm).
    This applies to all PVP game modes, slightly felt in PVE(eg, run a maxed meta card vs lower versions). No performance difference.

    MM - Literally can just copy the PES manager, this mode is still confused. The RNG is a mix of H2H and VS as above. 

    "Claiming" they listen looks good in socmed, in reality checks it isn't. These are basics for them to earn more, yet they still can't get it right after 10yrs of FIFA Mobile.

    The only great consolation is no resets, so they can be creative on churning out new and better cards while saving our nostalgia and efforts.

    Let's be honest: in the quest to make it realistic, fair play has been thrown out.

    This is coming from a mid-spender(just one who likes collecting specific cards, not going meta).

    Spenders keep the game alive, so balancing to meet F2P is great. But adamantly becoming impossible due to machine-programmed scaling from reactive rng, it's simple math: 7 is always lower than 10. Proportions, Proportions, Proportions.

    People don't stop spending if they receive the value ROI back. this version, pre FC26, is just plain abysmal.

  • Yes. They are just using "lag" as an excuse. I don't understand how I can play games with multiple players on huge maps without having any problems and here "the lag" is affecting my game. 

  • Your observations are absolutely right and same as mine. This game is a shame & a disgrace to football. It is outright exploitation. Everyday I play, I find very little reason to keep playing. The thing is, I love football, & I love the concept of simulation to explore my genius on the game - this is why regardless of the disgusting exploitative actions of EASports a lot of us continue to play! I can't wait for a responsible & fair football simulation app to launch - I'd abandon this useless Fcmobile app in a heartbeat! I hate & detest Fcmobile! It's such a shame to daily endure their pitiable attempts to rewrite football with their idiotic scripting!

    What you earn in publicity and personal data should be enough. Don't make us spend money just to gain some little advantage that fades away to make you spend more. Let the game be fair. Skills over money. And I'm not speaking about the "bugs" that apear to make you miss a pass or a goal because that would be another discussion. And the specs of the players are always relative. How in the hell Hummels is faster in forward run than Ribéry? In the game it is... It's frustrating. **bleep**...
