Gameplay Has Become Unplayable

The gameplay has gotten even worse since the introduction of the Anniversary event and the new gameplay changes.

Players feel incredibly slow when running, even those with the Rapid PlayStyle. It almost feels as though something is physically dragging our players backwards and preventing them from reaching their full running speed.

Player movement is unpredictable, sluggish, and unresponsive. At times, it feels like we have very little control over our own players, making it difficult to execute even basic movements consistently. This makes the overall gameplay frustrating and takes away from the competitive experience.

The game has become so unenjoyable that many players are no longer playing as frequently as they used to. Even reaching 50 stars has become less appealing because the gameplay itself makes the experience feel like a chore rather than something to enjoy.

EA needs to address these gameplay issues as soon as possible. We want responsive controls, smoother player movement, and players who perform according to their stats and PlayStyles. The game should reward skill, timing, and decision-making rather than forcing players to fight against sluggish and unpredictable mechanics.

Please take this feedback seriously and investigate what has changed with player movement and responsiveness. The community deserves a gameplay experience that is enjoyable, consistent, and competitive.

    Hi there. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We'll share it with the team for review.

    We appreciate your input!

  • Agree 100%. Just finished 3 straight H2H matches where it felt like the code was running the show. Player movement was consistently sluggish and I was arm wrestling the AI just to position my players where I wanted them. Passes were consistently terrible. And off-ball player movement was really, really poor.

    When you combine this type of experience (which is most of the time in H2H) with the way our squads are consistently nerfed in live events it leaves precious few moments when we get to actually enjoy our players performing up to their potential in a competitive match. It’s pretty hard to overstate how demotivating this is.
