Suggestions for EA – Please Fix the Game

EA, if your goal is to make more money, then how about making a better game first? A good game attracts more players and encourages more people to spend. So please fix the frustrating issues in FC Mobile. Here are some major problems:

 

1.Broken AI Teammate Behavior
On attack, my AI teammates often block my path — even when they see me dribbling toward them, they refuse to move or even run straight into me and kick the ball away to the opponent. Sometimes, they block my passes or even my shots.
When I'm sprinting forward, most teammates just stand still or run directly into defenders, making it impossible to pass. They rarely move into open space, and when they do, they stop suddenly or even run backwards — all in situations with no offside risk.
On defense, AI players act like they don’t care: standing still while opponents run by, refusing to tackle, or just stepping aside. Also, they ignore balls within reach and make zero effort to intercept. Worst of all, it’s like they have no eyes — running straight into opponents when dribbling or making runs instead of avoiding them.

2.Terrible Passing System
Passes constantly go to the wrong target. Through passes often go straight to the opponent, into unreachable space, or even out of bounds. And sometimes, the receiving player stands still, not even trying to move. They just wait for the ball to pass by and let it bounce off their feet instead of controlling it.
The ball also doesn't follow my directional input — I might aim for a safe sideways pass, and it ends up going to a striker surrounded by defenders, or even back into my own half where I can't see. This ruins my attack. Simply put, the passes almost never go in the direction I point the joystick.

3.Deliberate Player Delay
This has nothing to do with lag. The delay happens after the input is registered — like when the shot or pass bar appears, but the player pauses, performs a useless animation, and only then acts.
Sometimes they'll take extra steps into defenders before shooting or passing, or if I try a skill move, they'll tap the ball forward slightly, then fail the move or lose the ball. It looks like they're purposely stalling or sabotaging my play.

4.Excessive AI Interference
This makes defending nearly impossible. Most defenders are slower, so positioning is key. But whenever I switch to a defender and try to position him, the AI drags him in the opposite direction — usually toward the ball carrier — ignoring my input. Of course, this fails and gives the opponent an easy goal.
During penalty kicks, my goalkeeper also ignores my dive direction. Sometimes it works, but most of the time, the AI ruins it and lets the ball in.
Sometimes, when the ball is in my own half and my player is under just a bit of pressure, a red exclamation mark suddenly appears above his head, and he randomly clears the ball with no input from me.
This is a video game. It should let the player control the outcome. If the AI makes all the decisions, what are we even playing?

 

Finally, I hope you will listen to the community’s feedback — just like you claim to do for FC 26. Either fix these core issues or at least give us a real explanation for how and why these things are happening.
Stop ignoring our feedbacks. And please don’t punish people just for discussing problems they’ve actually experienced in-game.

    Everything you've written is the same thing I experience daily. I feel stupid that I continue to spend my time & money on a game as exploitative as Fcmobile! This is a thoroughly useless, cursed, disgusting game! The level of manipulation & control is unbelievable! The more money you spend on purported improvements, the more you lose, it's like you're being targeted just so you can spend more money! ONLY my love for football keeps me playing this game - I hate Fcmobile with an unbelievable passion! I have ONLY recently decided NOT to spend money on this useless exploitative game anymore. I will play their nonsense without any active intention to win anything. It is our competitive nature & desire to win that Fcmobile exploits! Care less about winning, you don't care for a phantom "improvement", & you save your money, then maybe when their profits drop, they would seriously address our complaints! Useless people!

    Same thing here. I am not sure if you notice but there was a change in the gameplay. The AI in the defence is stronger and players act ... Strange. Can't even explain it. Most matches end with a draw and we barely have couple of shots on goal. Everybody started to do that thing when they go back hopping for a player to make a run or pass the ball into their own half. I played couple of games and got out. It's so stupid.
