Severe gameplay sluggishness/heavy gameplay in EA FC 27 on PS5
I am experiencing severe, unplayable sluggishness and heavy gameplay in EA FC 27 on my PS5. The players feel extremely heavy, unresponsive, and there is a massive input delay.I have checked my official EA Connection Quality Report, and my connection is flawless:Connection Score: 98/100 (Great)Ping: 5.87 msJitter: 0.13 msPacket Loss: 0.01%Network Type: EthernetI have also tried changing DNS, adjusting MTU, configuring QoS, and enabling DMZ. Since my infrastructure and network telemetry are objectively perfect, this issue is entirely on the server-side, account routing, or gameplay synchronization.Please investigate my account profile and server synchronization to resolve this heavy gameplay. Thank you.FC 27 Gameplay Is a Huge Step Back
FC 26 was fine, just like FC 25 and FC 24. But FC 27 honestly feels like one of the worst versions I’ve played. Why make defending this manual? Reducing AI assistance is fine, but almost removing it completely isn’t. Player movement is extremely slow, and through balls feel terrible. I used to reach Elite, and now I genuinely can’t win a single match.Worst than ever
This game is worse than ever. The players running like a bunch of kids with no clue. Passing? That is different. They can’t even pass 2 meters and choose the other player who is about 20 metres away. Goalkeepers? They are a joke. This is the worst version of FIFA ever… about contracting, conversations, and transfers: I don’t want to say anything because that will be swearing. So thank you: my best game turned on a disaster. 👏🏻 EA Sports should pay for gamers to play the game, not the opposite. And you can’t even break the defence because you feel like the opposition have 22 players on the field. If you lost the ball you can’t reach the guy anymore because he is running faster with the ball than you. Defending a corner… other horrible stuff. Mostly it is a goal. If your GK saves it after standing still and waiting for the opponent to reach the ball and score it. But you can’t score from a corner, or a free kick. Passing is terrible, shooting as well. It is not a football game. This is a challenge to play some stupid video game that is not related to football. I paid 60 quid and stopped playing after 4 days.Worst than ever

I really, really wanted to love FC 27. We humans don’t know what we have until we lose it—we spent years complaining that EA changed the gameplay too much with every title update, and now that we actually need core gameplay fixes, EA is doubling down on not touching it for a while. I guess I can't even blame them, but they seem to have forgotten that not everyone playing this game is a competitive Ultimate Team player. I’m a casual gamer. I’ve been playing FIFA since FIFA 19. I don’t play Ultimate Team, Rush, or online kickoff. I strictly play Manager Career Mode and Player Career Mode. And this year, the gameplay is in such a bad state that it’s completely ruining the experience for me. What hurts the most is that FC 27 Career Mode itself is amazing. The new menus, player transfers, and realistic overall setups are fantastic. But what’s the point of spending time building a dream squad when every single match feels unbearable to play? 1. Physicality & AI Shielding are Broken (World Class Difficulty) I usually play on World Class or higher to keep things challenging. But in FC 27, World Class feels completely unnatural: Ratings don't matter: A 60-rated defender can collide with Erling Haaland (who has the highest physicality in the game) and literally send Haaland flying off the ball. It feels like every single AI player on World Class has the Bruiser PlayStyle equipped. The second they touch my player, I lose the ball. If I drop down to Professional difficulty, it's too easy and I win 10-0. There is zero middle ground where the game feels fair and fun, and i play competitive gameplay it's what i have been used too for years so i tired authentic and it was just the slower version of competitive. Midfield buildup is dead: Passing through the middle of the pitch is nearly impossible because passes are constantly intercepted, regardless of body angle. Lack of pass power: No matter how long I charge the pass button, ground through-balls lack any real power and never reach the target in stride. I play Career Mode for myself, not to compete in FUT Champs. Why are we forced into mechanics where you have to hold Sprint and Jockey 24/7 just to stay near an attacker? Where in real life do defenders jockey constantly for 90 minutes? Running a high line is completely punished. The AI easily pings a simple through ball straight past my defense, and my players can't recover in time because manual jockeying and switching are so clunky. I’ve deleted my main Career Mode save out of pure frustration. I’ve been stuck playing standard Kickoff matches just trying to learn and adapt to these mechanics, using different teams and formations, but it’s not fun. I’m forced to drop FC 27 and go back to FC 26 until a major Title Update actually fixes gameplay balance. It pains me because FC 26 Career Mode feels outdated compared to FC 27's features, but at least the matches were playable. Please remember your offline, casual Career Mode player base when tuning gameplay in upcoming updates.FC27 broadcast camera + ball tracking speed + Manager post match interview
Dear Community Managers, EA_FCDC EA_Vendcera Warm greetings to you all. I’d like to share a few thoughts and pieces of feedback that I hope will be valuable as we continue building a stronger, more connected, and positive community. Thank you for your time, dedication, and continued support. 1-Ball tracking speed slider In FC 25, the Ball Tracking Speed slider was extremely useful, especially with the Broadcast camera. It allowed the camera to keep up with fast Power Shots, long passes, and quick ball movement, so you could actually follow the ball’s trajectory. Now that the slider has been removed, the Broadcast camera struggles to keep up with fast shots. With a Power Shot, the camera can take too long to catch up, making it difficult to even see the ball travelling towards the goal. Please bring back the Ball Tracking Speed slider for the Broadcast camera so players can adjust it to their preference. 2-Post match manager interview Also, the Post-Match Manager Interview was removed. This was a great Career Mode feature that added immersion and made matches feel more meaningful. Please bring back the post-match interview as well. These may seem like small features, but they made a big difference to the overall Career Mode experience. 3-Broadcast camera angle I’ve been waiting year after year for this zoomed out, slightly lower Broadcast camera. You finally added it in the game but only in Tactical View! any chance you can bring it to regular gameplay too? Note: The attached Photo is not fully accurate but tactical view broadcast in FC27 has something similar to it. Thank you for taking the time to consider my feedback. I truly appreciate your efforts, dedication, and continued support. Kind regards,FC 27 Core Presentation Request: Replays, VAR, Cutscenes, and Controller Fix
Dear EA Sports Dev Team, I am writing to submit critical proposals to improve the immersion, presentation, and technical aspects of EA SPORTS FC 27. Previous editions like FC 25 and FC 26 were disastrous due to repeated bugs after updates, and we hope you fix these issues for a successful season ahead. Please implement the following features: Improve Post-Match & In-Game Replays: In previous editions, the game failed to show replays for critical moments like dangerous attacks, close shots, tackles, and corners. The replay system must be heavily improved Match Immersion (Referee Debates & Red Cards): Add contextual referee arguments during high-pressure games. Players and technical staff should be able to argue with the referee, leading to realistic yellow or red cards for dissent. We also need physical player altercations and illegal fouls/clashes, just like real football. Optional VAR Mechanic: Add a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system. It can be optional, flashing a notification on the screen, with a dedicated controller button assigned to request or view the check. Cinematic Cutscenes & Award Presentations: Enhance cinematic stories for a better experience. We want to see official post-match/tournament trophy scenes on the pitch, specifically for the Golden Boot award and the Player of the Match/Tournament award. Built-in Controller Configuration Launcher: Fix the chronic controller compatibility issue that has ruined all previous parts. EA must add an external settings launcher—similar to PES—where players can configure graphics, display, and controllers natively. Forcing us to use third-party software causes input lag and ruins the game. Thank you for your hard work, and we hope FC 27 avoids past mistakes and moves forward successfully.
