Defensive Engaged Input Completely Broken

EA never fixed this bug but still 'archived' and locked replies on the previous report.  The problem hasn't gone away and neither have I.  This still needs to be a priority.  Automatically archiving and locking all previous (and in this case current) bug reports just because you are changing infrastructure is unacceptable.

Product
: Madden NFL 25
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. EA app - PC
What is the AMD or Nvidia Model Number of your graphics card?
Enter RAM memory size in GB
Date/time issue occurred 9/10/2024 11:16 AM EST
What type of issue do you have? Gameplay
Which mode has this happened in? Ultimate Team
Which part of the mode? Solo Challenges
Summarize your bug Defensive pass rush moves are going the opposite direction of the input, or just using an entirely different move.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play defenders in pass rush or run blitz assignments and try to use the right stick for pass rush moves. Try to swim or club left/right.
What happens when the bug occurs? Defensive pass rush moves are going the opposite direction of the input, or just using an entirely different move. Your user defender does a little matrix slide in the wrong direction instead of the functional swim move from 2 patches ago.
What do you expect to see? If I tell my video game to go left, my player should go left - not right. And vice versa.

A game that does the opposite of what the player input tells it to do is in a broken and unplayable state.

    3 downtimes for maintenance and still no fix to base game controls not functioning. 

    (in fact it has been much more than 3 downtimes as we originally reported this bug back in September of 2024, but it was not acknowledged by EA until just 25 days ago on January 9th 2025)  FIVE MONTHS of a completely broken game.

    Plenty of MUT updates though.

    Game is a bigger rip-off than mobile games designed to rip you off, no?  At least they fix technical bugs that are gamebreaking and allow you to keep your digital content over the lifespan of the game.  No, I'm not talking about when you rebrand as Madden NFL 26 and sell the same content but strip MUT players of their digital cards and charge full price $60-100 less than a year later.   Would this be acceptable in any other TCG?  Thanks for all the purchases of Pokemon TCG, now we are going to release a new set and need you to give us back everything you bought, no matter how much you've invested or how many cards you've collected.  IF you spend full price and pre-order the next copy - here's between 2-10 "free" (lol) booster packs to make up for it. /s

    Seriously, Madden needs to be a live-service one time buy with this model.  Yearly roster updates (between 5-20 dollars).  People KEEP their MUT cards for the lifetime of the game.  A franchise mode that isn't just a middle finger to people that don't want to play MUT. 

    But most importantly, prioritizing bugfixes and game functionality.  With actual support and maintenances to keep the ENTIRE game running smoothly and not just MUT.

    So we've had a couple of maintenances since these videos were submitted and still no fix..

    I'd just like to reiterate that this is happening in every game mode, in any run blitz or defensive engaged situation.  Not just the trench drills that we displayed. (This is just the fastest and most obvious way to recreate the bug).  If I have to shed a block or use a pass rush move, then I'm doomed to give up a big play based on my controlled player going the opposite direction of my input.

    Core functionality of the game needs to take priority over roster updates, mut updates, literally everything.  What is taking so long?
