updated loading screen, but… gameplay? hello?

I wish I took the screenshot of the incident that I faced...so that I can show it to all of you...

Ref gave me offside but I was not in a offside position... 

There was a opposition defender behind my player... But AI didn't even count that player... The offside line was saying something else...and it was not inside the PK box it was in the middle of the ground...

It feels like I am Playing against Real Madrid x VAR x Papa Perez... I am changing my team logo from FC Barcelona to something else....

You're absolutely right — after the update, things didn’t improve at all; in fact, they got even worse. I can’t tell if it’s intentional, if the developers are just incompetent, or if EA is simply incapable of releasing anything beyond a half-finished product. They completely ignore feedback and only bother changing useless things. What’s the point? Do they think prettier graphics somehow make the gameplay better?

Here’s some additional context about the issues you mentioned:

Players slide away from the ball — After a chaotic play, the ball goes up in the air, but instead of staying near the drop zone, my nearby players actively run away from it, like they’re allergic to the ball.

Switching System — Somehow they managed to make it worse than before. Now it often takes 2–3 attempts to switch to the right player, and by the time you finally do, the opponent’s already scored. The 2nd Defender system is also trash — it doesn’t select the nearest defender, but some random defender, leaving massive open spaces behind. And I’ve also had the same issue as you: even with auto-switching turned off, the game still switches players by itself. This is clearly designed to screw us over and control the outcome of matches. For example, imagine players A and B standing to the left and right of the ball, which is loose. I’m controlling A and running right toward it — then suddenly, the game auto-switches to B, meaning now I’m moving away from the ball. Since A is now AI-controlled, he also moves away. What a genius trick — making sure I can’t even touch the ball. And they still have the nerve to call this fair play? How is any of this fair when the system is obviously manipulating the result?
