Player lock and moving the goalkeeper are not working at all for me.

Hello.

As the title states, I am having trouble figuring out how to be able to move my goalkeeper and use player locks in FC 26 on my PS5. I used these in FC 25 by clicking in R3 to move my goalkeeper and pressing in both L3 & R3 together for player lock, and now they won’t work at all for me in FC 26. I read elsewhere online that people were able to get it working in FC 25 by resetting their custom configurations, but I don’t have any custom configurations set in FC 26, and I never customized my controller settings in FC 25, so I don’t know why I’m having this issue. I did select to use my settings from last year when I first started up FC 26, but when I went to controller settings after learning about this issue, my only options were: classic, alternative, two button, and one button. There wasn’t any custom configuration that got taken from my FC 25 settings. People online said that those custom configurations have to be reset for the bug to go away and be able to use player locks again, but I didn’t have the option to reset my controller settings since I was on classic by default.

I have since made three separate custom controller configurations and used them, tried overwriting them except for one, and then switched back to classic but I am having the same issue. I still cannot use player lock.

This is incredibly annoying and beyond frustrating that this bug has been around for more than a year now, but there’s seemingly no fix since resetting any settings did nothing at all for me. I shouldn’t have to pay full price for this game like everyone else and then not be able to use certain features because of a bug that has been around for over a year.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    Awesome. I reported this issue to EA help, too, and it instantly got closed. I don’t know why it says “inappropriate name” in the category section when all I asked about was help with this bug. I didn’t swear at all or even anything close to it. I basically said the same thing as I did here. I also included a video of me clicking R3 while the goalkeeper did nothing. Thanks, EA. Real helpful.
