Joystick gets stuck during gameplay – anyone else facing this?

I’ve been facing a really annoying issue in FC Mobile — sometimes the joystick gets stuck if I hold it in one direction for too long (especially when sprinting). After that, the movement becomes unresponsive or locked, and the only way to fix it is to completely close the app and reopen it.

This happens randomly during matches, and it ruins the gameplay — especially in VS Attack or Head-to-Head where quick reactions matter most. I’ve tried cleaning the screen and restarting the phone, but the problem still happens.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it a known bug or maybe something related to device compatibility?

I’m using Samsung S22, and it mostly happens during long directional dribbles or constant running.

Would love to hear if there’s a fix or if EA is aware of it.
