EA, do something about the GKs

I recently packed 121 OVR Peter Cech for 30k shards and guess what happened.

I tried testing him and he saved 1/10 shots in H2H. Worse than 116 courtois I exchanged with. Waste of 30k shards. Cech never does that irl. And for that I got scammed for this 115 OVR GK in disguise with useless lvl.2 playstyle and I feel like deleting this game you call it.

Please, EA, listen to your community this time and fix all the problems you caused, including the GK mechanics, before it's too late.

    Yes, you're right; it's unbelievable that average, low-rated "nobody" players can score easy goals. I could understand it if the latest top-tier cards were scoring against Cech, but it's unrealistic for old, weak, obscure players to score just as easily against the game's best goalkeepers. I blame the game's balancing mechanism; they really need to dial it back. We upgrade our teams to get better—so that lower-rated squads don't stand a chance—yet players with 115-rated cards are curling goals past a 126-rated Icon keeper. These top goalkeepers would only truly make sense if only the best players or a perfectly crafted chance could beat them. It’s disheartening to see my performance and speed drop when facing a much weaker team—for instance, when my squad is 126 OVR and the opponent is 120, yet the performance levels out. This balancing mechanism is too much; it ruins the gaming experience. The game should motivate players by showing them they need to acquire better cards to keep pace with stronger teams. This whole mechanism is frustrating and annoying—not just for you and me, but for everyone. It would be great if they actually took feedback into account; players go to the trouble of finding this site and writing about these issues, so why aren't they being resolved?
