GAMEPLAY IS GETTING WORSE

Dear EA Admins,

I would like to bring to your attention several areas of concern that I believe require improvement for a better gameplay experience:

• Ball Control While Sprinting: I've noticed that when players sprint with the ball, they often run ahead while leaving the ball behind. Initially, I assumed this was due to network issues, but it appears to be a consistent gameplay flaw. This looks unrealistic and disappointing, especially from a title renowned for its gameplay excellence.
• Receiving Passes: Players frequently fail to receive simple passes, often getting nutmegged or missing the ball entirely, even when the pass is directed straight at them. This issue has become more frequent and disrupts the flow of play.
• Short Passing Accuracy: It’s frustrating to see 5-yard passes go astray, even when performed by players with passing stats above 100. These fundamental mistakes are unacceptable and break immersion—realistically, even a casual player could complete such passes with ease.
• Player Collisions and Defensive Positioning: There are too many unnecessary collisions between players, and at times even with the referees. Defensive positioning feels off and chaotic, making the experience more frustrating than it should be.
• Unrealistic Penalties for Light Contact: The game currently penalizes players far too easily when opponents perform skill moves. Even the slightest touch results in a penalty, which feels highly unrealistic and unbalanced.
• Unnecessary Extra Touches During Counter-Attacks: During counter-attacks, players sometimes take two touches even when one would suffice. This usually happens when a pass button is pressed early, yet the receiving player, already well-positioned, slows down the momentum with an additional touch.
• Inconsistent Passing Mechanics: The ground pass feels unreliable, the driven lob pass is overly accurate, and the through lob pass is overused. There's a noticeable lack of consistency across the different passing types.

I hope you take these points into consideration to refine and enhance the overall gameplay experience.

Thank you for your time.
