Defending ever getting put in the game?!
The state of this game has gone beyond a joke. So many issues with gameplay but my main one is defending. I’ll admit I’ve never been the best at defending, but my god, there is absolutely no manual defending in this game whatsoever, standing tackles might as well not even exist as they just never connect, even though both of my cb’s have 88 stand tackle & bruiser base. Rumours are that they’re dumbing down defensive AI in the upcoming patch, what defensive AI? So many times I’ll be controlling the cdm but when the ball gets to their attacker my cb’s will just move in the god **bleep** opposite direction of the player with the ball instead of closing them down! if they do dumb down the AI then I hope they’ve done something to manual defending because it’s just not in the game at all. Absolutely farcical game.How long will the cheats in this game last?
I just played a friendly match, and it was truly disgusting. I curse the day I paid to buy this game. They can't figure out a single trick. Look at the pictures I posted; the substitutions are -8. I have no strikers left in the game. They all came off, and the reserve goalkeeper started playing forward. Then he came off again, and came back on.EAFC 25 has totally missed the mark!
Please please please look at this feedback and let us know if you will be doing anything about these issues. Defending doesn’t work because player defenders are too slow, can’t turn, can’t sprint or track and when left to AI they move up the park or away from the attackers and often run behind the attackers so they don’t even need to avoid defenders. Defending is completely broken. Attacking is the same with fast players jogging instead of sprinting and when chasing the ball slow down to a crawl to let the opponent breeze past them and get to the ball first. There is also no positional sense. passing is a lottery and long passes rarely work, the majority of passes don’t go in the direction they are aimed and go wherever the AI decides. The same can be said for the power of a pass, the strength of pass is random and offer opposite of what the player presses. Shot soft pass may end up a thunderbolt of a pass and usually to the wrong player. loose balls and deflections always go to the opposition about 95% of the time. 50/50 balls are always favoured towards AI opponents and impossible tackles from AI that when you look back at are superhuman, impossible and totally unrealistic. the tactics do not work, I’ve tried all tactics and all menu changes for the game play and it makes no difference. the defending tactics are the worst becauuse playing 3 or 4 at the back means the AI can run straight down the middle and there is always a huge gap because defenders don’t cover the strikers or the centre and are always found out of position. I use deep defending at a ratio of 1 and still my centre half are fought out us the park. The full back positions don’t work with them always being pushed up the field. there are so many more issues the game needs wiped and redone. the are tons of bugs in the menu screens and especially on career mode some of which have been uncorrected in years. all my friend and I have agreed not to buy EAFC again if these are not addressed before the new game comes out. i have put these issues to EA several times now as have hundred of others and no one from EA recognise the feedback. The very least they can do is put out a statement reassuring the customer that then know of the issues and are going to do something about it. i don’t want to switch game titles but this year will be the last straw for me if nothing is fixed, I’d just be throwing another £100 away again and I will not do it. pleae fix our beloved gameHow TF do i save formations and tactics?
I've been playing tournament mode against cpu, and it's impossible to save formations and tactics How the **bleep** do you do it? what is the **bleep**ing problem with this piece of **bleep** game? ive saved them in team sheets and it shows as saved, saved into squads and profile, but it still doesnt work Is it even possible? i have to keep manually changing it in every single game because the defaults keep coming back in tactic 2 and tactic 3
Some suggestions
Mainly career suggestions when a player is tagged as a CDM, CM and say RM please stop putting an exclamation mark and down rating him if I play him as a CM which is a role he can play Please add more formations eg 3-1-2-1-3 or bring back the ability to move players into the positions I want Add real youth players in youth squads not some random Ai players that look barely human When transferring players out allow manager to ask player to look for clubs outside my teams league
