Platform:
PC (Steam)
Game Version:
EA SPORTS FC 25 – Latest version
Mode:
Player Career Mode → Training → In-Game Set Piece Drills
Bug Type:
Camera / Gameplay-breaking
Description:
In Player Career Mode on PC, all training drills that involve in-game set pieces (such as Free Kick Challenge, Penalty Challenge, Corner Delivery) are unplayable due to a severe camera bug.
When the drill begins, the camera:
- Locks in an incorrect or static angle
- Zooms into unusable positions
- Fails to follow the player or show the goalpost properly
- Sometimes points toward the crowd, the grass, or behind the stadium
Because of this, I fail every single set piece drill, regardless of timing or input. It’s not just a visual issue—it completely blocks progress in training, meaning I can't earn XP or improve set piece-related attributes.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch EA FC 25 on PC (Steam)
- Load a Player Career save file
- Start a training session
- Select any in-game set piece drill (Free Kick, Penalty, Corner, etc.)
- Observe the camera behaviour when the drill begins
Expected Result:
The camera should function exactly like it does during a standard in-game set piece situation—providing a clear, dynamic angle behind or around the player. This allows proper aiming, ball trajectory visualization, and situational awareness, consistent with normal gameplay and match presentation.
Actual Result:
The camera either stays frozen, zooms incorrectly, or shows a broken perspective that prevents visibility of the ball, player, or goal—making the drill impossible to complete.
Reproducibility Rate:
Always – Occurs 100% of the time in every in-game set piece drill tested
Severity / Priority:
High – Training becomes unplayable for free kicks, penalties, and corners. Blocks XP gain and attribute growth in Player Career Mode.
