Not allowed to win. Not allowed to play.
While building up an attack, my player suddenly auto-cleared the ball — without me pressing anything — and handed possession straight to the opponent. That’s not a bug. That’s not defending. That’s ...

I’m well aware it’s a “feature.” That’s not the problem.
The problem is that this trash feature only shows up when I’m meant to lose — like when I’m at two stars and the system decides I’m not getting promoted.
In normal matches, even with full pressure on, it doesn’t trigger. But in those matches? My defender suddenly auto-clears the ball for no reason, right as I’m about to pass, dribble, or use a skill move.
It cuts off whatever I was about to do — even if there’s no real danger. In this case, the opponent wasn’t even very close, and I had plenty of space behind. You can see in the video I was literally about to pass, and the game just blasts the ball out.
This “feature” exists for one reason: to break your momentum and hand the ball over, so you can’t win no matter what you do.
This video shows the exact moment from when I gained possession to when that dumb “feature” kicked in. I was just starting to build up — there was absolutely no issue of staying too long in my own half.
Why can’t I just control my player and play the game that is actually fair?
Game is extremely unfair when it wants to be. btw How did you upload such a long recording?
Length isn’t really the issue — it’s more about file size. I think the limit is around 70MB. If you convert your clip to an MP4 file, it should upload just fine. As for how to convert it, just Google it — there are plenty of free tools that work well. If it still doesn’t work, then yeah — the clip is probably just too long.
Hope this helps — let’s keep fighting back and force EA to actually change something.
