Subject: FC 25 Gameplay Issue – Weak and Inaccurate Headers for User-Controlled Players
Platform: ps5
Game Mode(s) Affected: affects all game modes including kick off and career mode
Issue Description:
Headers for user-controlled players in FC 25 are significantly weaker and more inaccurate than expected. Even when timed correctly and using players with strong heading stats, headers lack power and often miss the target. This makes it extremely difficult to score from crosses or set-pieces, reducing the effectiveness of aerial play.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Cross the ball into the box from a winger or fullback.
- Attempt a header with a user-controlled player, ideally a strong aerial threat.
- Observe the lack of power and inaccurate direction, leading to weak or off-target attempts.
Frequency:
- Occurs in most matches when attempting to score with headers.
Expected Outcome:
- User-controlled headers should generate realistic power and accuracy, especially when using strong aerial players in good positions.
Actual Outcome:
- Headers from user-controlled players are too weak, making them easy for goalkeepers to save.
- Accuracy is inconsistent, even in clear goal-scoring situations.
Additional Notes:
- The issue is specific to user-controlled players, as AI-controlled players seem less affected.
- It affects both Career Mode and online game modes, making crossing plays ineffective.
Please investigate and consider adjustments in future updates to improve gameplay realism.
