Manager Mode is Broken – AI Behavior, Scripting Concerns, and Unfair Match
Official Complaint – Major Issues in Manager Mode Hello, I would like to report a major and extremely frustrating issue in Manager Mode that has completely ruined my gameplay experience. I am an experienced player, and I have invested a lot of time and money into this game. My team is very high rated (OVR 123–124), with top-tier players such as Gullit, Messi, Maradona, Beckham, Pelé, Cafu, Donnarumma, Pirlo, Son, and others — all around 122 OVR. Despite this, I am experiencing serious gameplay problems that make the mode feel broken and unfair. 1. AI Players Not Following Tactics / No Movements. Scale problem! (10/10) No matter what tactics I use, my players do not behave according to instructions. They play as if they are “frozen”: They move slowly with the ball They show no intention to pass They do not make attacking runs They do not create space Even when I set tactics for fast passing, my players hold the ball too long and pass very late, often directly to the opponent. In many situations, they simply stop in front of defenders and lose the ball easily, instead of making logical decisions. This happens every match, not occasionally. 2. Complete Lack of Attacking Intelligence -Scale problem !(10/10) My players do not position themselves properly in attack: They do not open passing lanes They do not run into space They do not support the ball carrier It feels like they are disconnected from the game, as if the ball does not exist for them. Meanwhile, my opponents’ teams: Press aggressively Move intelligently Create chances easily This creates a huge and unfair contrast between my team and my opponents. 3. Shooting Delay / Poor Decision Making - Scale problem (9/10) When my players have a clear chance to shoot, they often: Delay the shot unnecessarily Wait until a defender closes them down Then shoot directly into a block This feels intentional, as if the AI is programmed to waste scoring opportunities. At the same time, opponents can score from unrealistic situations, including long shots from midfield that should not normally result in goals. 4. Defensive Collapse & No Recovery - scale problem (8,5/10) After losing possession: My players do not track back They leave huge spaces in defense They run randomly, without purpose It feels like there is no defensive structure at all, regardless of tactics. My team does not press, does not recover, and does not react properly to danger. 5. Unfair Match Outcomes / Losing Streak. Scale problem (10/10) I had 20 stars and then lost 19 consecutive matches, which is completely unacceptable given the quality of my team. What is even more suspicious is that: I consistently concede goals around the 7th minute This happens repeatedly, almost every match It creates the impression that matches are pre-determined or scripted, rather than based on performance. 6. Weak Opponents Performing Unrealistically .scale problem (9/10) I frequently lose against teams with much lower OVR, which should not happen so consistently. These opponents: Play faster React better Score unrealistic goals Meanwhile, my high-rated players perform far below expectations. 7. One-Sided Gameplay / Possible Exploits. Scale problem (9/10) What is extremely frustrating is that these issues only seem to affect my team. My opponents’ teams: Press properly Build attacks correctly Make intelligent runs My team does the opposite in every situation. This creates the feeling that something is fundamentally wrong — whether it is broken AI, hidden mechanics, or even possible exploits. Final Note I have already submitted multiple complaints, but nothing has changed. I have invested a significant amount of time and money into this game, yet I have never felt truly satisfied due to these persistent issues. At this point, it feels like the game is not rewarding skill, tactics, or team quality. Conclusion Manager Mode is currently unbalanced, inconsistent, and extremely frustrating to play. I strongly urge the development team to: Investigate AI behavior Review match balance Address potential scripting or unfair mechanics Thank you for your time.Logging issues
Hello EA Support, I am unable to access my FC Mobile account. For the past 1.5 days, my game has been stuck on the "Choose Account" screen. The FC Mobile logo keeps spinning indefinitely and never loads into the game. I have already tried: - Clearing cache - Restarting my device - Reinstalling the game - Using different internet connections - Trying to log in on another phone The same issue occurs on every device, so it appears to be an account-related problem rather than a device or network issue. My main account is the EA Account with approximately 119OVR. The game detects both my EA Account and a Google Play account, but selecting either option causes the loading icon to spin forever. Please investigate my account and help restore access. Priesthood jude my Fc account name Thank you.Major Gameplay in FC Mobile
Dear EA Support Team, I am writing to express serious concerns regarding the current state of gameplay in EA SPORTS FC Mobile. The issues outlined below have persisted for a long time and are now significantly affecting not only my experience, but also the trust and satisfaction of a large portion of the player community. First and foremost, the problem of in-game lag and stuttering during matches remains unresolved. This is not a minor inconvenience, but a critical flaw that directly impacts gameplay performance, responsiveness, and fairness. In competitive environments, even a slight delay can determine the outcome of a match. The fact that this issue continues to exist despite multiple updates raises serious questions about optimization and quality control. Secondly, the lack of effective action against cheaters and exploiters is deeply concerning. Many players have taken the time to report suspicious accounts through the official system, yet there has been little to no visible enforcement. This creates the impression that reports are either ignored or not prioritized. When unfair players face no consequences, it undermines the integrity of the entire game. Another major concern is the clear imbalance between monetization and gameplay improvement. New paid content, packages, and promotions are consistently introduced, yet core gameplay issues remain unaddressed. As a paying player, I find it unacceptable that financial support from the community is not being reflected in meaningful improvements to gameplay stability, fairness, and realism. Furthermore, gameplay mechanics in the current version feel inconsistent and often unrealistic. Many players have openly stated that previous versions of the game offered a more balanced and enjoyable experience. The current system frequently produces outcomes that do not align with player skill or real football logic. Match difficulty, especially in certain modes, can feel excessively punishing and poorly balanced, creating frustration rather than challenge. Newly introduced features such as Draft mode have also brought additional concerns. Instead of enhancing the experience, these modes often suffer from poor balance, questionable matchmaking, and lack of fairness. Despite repeated feedback from the community, these issues continue without meaningful adjustment. At this point, the situation is no longer about isolated problems, but about a pattern of neglect toward core gameplay quality. Players are not asking for perfection, but for visible effort, transparency, and accountability. When the same issues are repeatedly reported without resolution, it sends a clear message that gameplay concerns are not being treated with the urgency they deserve. To summarize, the key concerns are: - Ongoing lag and stuttering during matches that severely impact gameplay - Ineffective anti-cheat measures and lack of visible enforcement - Reporting systems that do not lead to clear or timely action - Over-prioritization of monetization over gameplay quality - Unrealistic and inconsistent gameplay mechanics - Unbalanced difficulty and matchmaking issues - Persistent problems in new features such as Draft mode I strongly urge your team to take immediate and transparent action. Players who continue to support this game—both financially and through their time—deserve a product that reflects quality, fairness, and genuine commitment from its developers. If these issues continue to be ignored, it will inevitably lead to further dissatisfaction and a loss of long-term player trust. I hope this message is taken seriously and leads to real improvements in the near future. Sincerely, A deeply concerned and long-time playerMajor Gameplay Issues in FC Mobile H2H!
Hello, I am writing this post to report several major gameplay issues I have consistently experienced in FC Mobile, especially in Head-to-Head (H2H) mode. I am not a casual player — I have played FIFA on console from 2002 to 2021 and have competitive experience, including tournament wins. I understand football mechanics and gameplay balance, and the issues below are not subjective — they are recurring and clearly affect fairness. 1. Joystick / Player Control Bug Problem scale (9/10) When my opponent is building an attack in my half and I try to apply pressure quickly, especially on the wings, I often cannot properly control my player. Even though I am clearly holding the joystick toward the opponent and pressing sprint, my player runs in the opposite direction or ignores my input completely. This issue happens most frequently while sprinting, which is a major problem because in those moments I need to sprint to catch the opponent. The only way to regain control is to slow down, which gives the opponent a huge advantage. As a result, when my opponent is sprinting, I have no realistic chance of catching them, because my movement is restricted by this bug. 2. Possession & AI Movement Imbalance problem scale (10/10) In most matches, I dominate possession with over 60%, trying to build attacks patiently and intelligently. However, when I reach the final third and look for a decisive pass, my attacking and midfield players do not make runs, do not position themselves, and do not offer passing options. They often stand still or hide behind defenders, making it extremely difficult to create chances. On the other hand, when my opponent is attacking, their players immediately run into open spaces, often into large gaps left by my own defensive AI. My defenders sometimes behave as if I have already regained possession — they push forward or abandon their positions, leaving huge spaces behind. This creates a very noticeable imbalance between my team’s AI and the opponent’s AI. 3. Tackle & Rebound System problem scales (9/10) Whenever I successfully perform a tackle and touch the ball, instead of gaining possession, the ball ricochets directly back to the opponent, often in the opposite direction — and many times straight into the path of their attacking players. In some cases, this results in the opponent being left completely alone with the goalkeeper, even though I made a correct defensive action. The frustrating part is that this does not work the same way for me — when my opponent tackles me, the ball usually stays under their control without random rebounds. 4. Defensive Tackle Behavior. Problem scale(9/10) When my opponent tackles my player, my player frequently falls to the ground as if it was a foul, yet no foul is given. At the same time, the opponent instantly gains full control of the ball, without any rebound or loose-ball situation. This creates a situation where I lose possession unfairly, and the opponent transitions instantly into attack. 5. Dribbling & Defensive AI Issues. Problem scale (9/10) When my opponent performs skill moves, such as a roulette, especially in my half, I try to anticipate the movement and position my defender correctly. However, even when I move the joystick in the correct direction, my selected player moves in the opposite direction or reacts incorrectly, as if my input is ignored. At the same time, my central defenders leave massive gaps in defense, behaving as if we are in attack instead of defending. Instead of staying in position, they move forward or drift away, creating open spaces that the opponent easily exploits. 6. Corner Kick (Defensive) Issue :problem scale (9/10) Whenever my opponent takes a corner and crosses into my box, I try to clear the ball. However, almost every time, the cleared ball goes directly to an opponent positioned outside the box, where I have no players at all. This leaves me with no chance to react or recover the ball, and the opponent can simply take a shot from distance. What is even more frustrating is that they often score through multiple defenders (7–8 players in the box), while my goalkeeper reacts very poorly or not at all. 7. Passing Power & Interception Issue :problem scale(9/10) When I try to pass the ball quickly across the field, even if I apply maximum power, the ball does not travel with the necessary speed. Because of this, opponents can easily intercept passes, even when they are coming from behind my player — something that should not normally happen. This issue is especially noticeable in the opponent’s half, where quick passing is essential to create chances. 8. Kick-Off Glitch problem scale 10/10)! In many matches, my opponents consistently score directly from kick-off using what appears to be a kick-off glitch. What is extremely frustrating is that even when I am fully aware of what my opponent is trying to do — running straight toward my goal immediately after kick-off — my players do not react properly at all. When I try to select players to press or recover the ball, each player I control starts running forward toward the opponent’s half, as if I am the one in possession and they are trying to receive a pass. This behavior completely ignores the actual situation on the field. Even worse, my defenders (including central defenders) push forward and leave large gaps in defense, instead of tracking back or positioning themselves to stop the attack. Because of this, the opponent can simply run in a straight line toward my goal with almost no resistance and take an easy shot. It feels like my entire team is momentarily “out of control” during kick-off situations. Another important point is that this issue appears to be one-sided — I am never able to replicate this behavior myself. The glitch seems to benefit my opponents consistently, but not me. This creates a repetitive and unfair gameplay loop that is extremely frustrating. 9. Corner Kick (Attacking) Issue :problem scale (8/10) When I take corners and cross the ball to my tallest players, I press the shoot button expecting a header. However, my player often does not react at all, as if the input was ignored. The opponent then clears the ball far up the field, directly to their attacker near midfield, while my defense is completely out of position. This leads to a counterattack where the opponent runs at unrealistic speed and ends up 1v1 with my goalkeeper — often scoring. 10. Input Delay & Lag problem scale,(7/10) Even though I play on a stable connection (10–15 ms), I experience a noticeable delay of around half a second. For example, when I press the pass button, I expect an immediate action, but due to the delay, my player holds the ball longer than intended. This causes me to lose possession easily, often in my own half, which gives the opponent an easy opportunity to create a dangerous attack. Additionally, the game sometimes feels like it is running on 90–100 ms, despite the low ping. Additional Issue – Connection / Performance There are also moments of severe lag and inconsistent gameplay speed, even with a very good internet connection. Final Note Since the introduction of heavy AI assistance, the skill gap feels significantly reduced. It often feels like the game rewards randomness and assisted mechanics rather than player skill. As a result, truly skilled players are no longer distinguished — instead, outcomes feel influenced by assistance and luck. Conclusion These issues seriously affect gameplay quality, fairness, and competitive integrity in FC Mobile. I hope the development team takes this feedback seriously and works on improving the overall gameplay experience. I hope this is helpful for everyone! Thank you for your time.
High ping issues 999+
Hello EA Team, I am facing a high ping issue in EA FC Mobile for the past few days. This problem happens in every match, making the game laggy and almost unplayable. My internet connection is stable and works perfectly for other online games and apps, so the issue does not seem to be from my side. Even with good network speed, the ping remains high throughout matches. Device details: Phone: Vivo T3x Processor: Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 RAM: 8 GB - OS: Android 14 Game UID: 594462383295574016 This appears to be a server-side or matchmaking-related issue, possibly due to incorrect server routing or overloaded servers. Please look into this issue and resolve it as soon as possible. If you need my Game ID or any other details, please let me know. Thank you.
