There's always a sign when you start playing a match that you know you're destined to lose. For me it's when i make an incisive pass or attempt a through ball and it randomly decides to pass all the way back to a player in my own half, most of the time ending right at the feet of my opponents attacker.

    You cannot even make a slide tackle

    When they auto block from 5m away after you make a perfect dribbling to open up a space

    When I Hit a perfect through ball in the box but the game slows and the gk deflects the ball but it goes to d while my offense is in slo mo, then speed kinda returns, I win said ball, shoot and gk makes lunging foot save, only for my next 91 rated striker to flub the bal....it bounces around my other players get to the ball, gk saves again...my players get to it again but whiff — totally miss the ball or the cb bodies my player at the last moment and I whiff and fall down...

    This has happened in 5 of my games so far in the first 5 mins of wl...coincidence. i think not.

    When you're winning 3-0 at HT and your opponent plays as if he has no thumbs :joy:

    When my passes don't reach the players I'm intending to pass to or the ball stays behind the player and the opponent's passes are perfect.

    I had this twice today. All-gold teams, dropback with 6-8 players in the box, break out for a counter, 1:0 up and they break free all out attack to swarm you and you can't do nothing. I lost every battle for the ball or a foul was called against me. Meanwhile he pushed my players around without consequences. I had seven yellow cards by halftime. When the referee pulled a straight red card, I rage quited being 3:0 down in the second half. This way I would not get a player blocked for the next game at least.

    Nothing works, no tactic change, no pressing, no all out attack, every pass gets intercepted, you hit the post, every shot attempt is blocked. You have these games and you know you have to lose them!

    8 games left for tomorrow. Currently at 13 wins, so I guess, or better I hope it will be Gold 3 again with 15-16 wins in the end. I don't think I will get 18 wins for the second Birthday present. I always aim at Silver 1 to get the free Weekend League entry, so mission accomplished already.

    Yep. Goal incoming when you suddenly can’t switch your players properly.

    Had a game earlier in WL, first half ended.

    I had 7 Shots on target in the box.
    He had 0 Shots....

    And I was losing 1-0.

    Hit the post 3 times, and his GK made some saves that I even thought like how the .... is that even possible?

    Than second half started, he tackles get's a red card guess what?

    He starts passing around, than heading it back to his GK and throw it to a player and repeat.

    What a game this is.
  • I am completely tired of getting to the goal and not scoring, hows that possible that you’ve been shooting over than 30 times and you don’t score non even a goal, and your rival scores as many goals as he pleases in every single opportunity, I mean I love this game and I still believe that this is the best football simulator ever...
    but man come on you gotta do something with these problems, I think the fifa community is getting tired with what you guys are doing with this game, is so unfair and annoying...
    please do something ♥️🙏🏻

    He’s asking nicely, EA. Please listen to the man.

    Sadly, there’s so much nonsense in this game now, so many broken mechanics, that even EA wouldn’t know where to start removing it all. I too love this game - God knows I’ve spent enough time on it over the years. The concept and basic structure of Ultimate Team is wonderful. But the gameplay needs rebuilding completely from scratch. Throw it all out and start all over again. I’d happily miss a year or two out if that’s what it takes.

    At this point, the core foundations of the game are absolutely rotten, no amount of patches and tweaking will change that, and I'm pretty sure they'll be building on the same broken engine for FIFA 21.

    There's plenty of topics on Reddit where people have dug into the coding and there's still features like Morale embedded in there, god knows how that affects things, but I don't trust that it's been properly removed

    When there is a period of a few minutes were it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to get the ball.

    When my pad is vibrating a lot from my players being ran in to and obliterated.

    When Ryan Kent starts running like Giroud.

    I could continue...

    Can't switch players closest to to the play/ball.
    Have you 97 rated speed players being outrun by 70 pace defenders.
    Players suddenly become unresponsive for several games, forgetting what a ball is, letting players waltz past with ease. Cant pass, cant shoot, have no pace or speed.

    For me it was so obvious when 1v1, GK out of the box and i did a chip. Even without touching the ball the GK somehow magically made the ball go out for a corner.

    When the opponents players all pile through you like a freight train, yet you even look at the tackle button and it’s a booking.

    When every time your striker receives the ball, no matter the distance between him and the nearest player, the opponent hits him like a magnet.

    When you select a player and they automatically step away from the ball before you actually get control.

    When your keeper comes for a cross and instead of catching it punches it backwards straight for a tap in. Happened twice this weekend league already

    All of the above are funny.

    When you have a throw in and your player decides to tackle the opponent instead of creating space and room for your throw

    - when people can tackle from behind and get the ball even though you are holding on L2

    - when it is impossible for your player with 97 pace can’t out run a bronze defender.lol

    Got one lucky game for me today. He could not pass, could not tackle, hit the post, got a red card and all the above. I intercepted every ball, my passes were spot on, my shots were all dangerous. Won the game 4:1

    Then I was 3 wins out of 4 games and got Gold 2. Lost all of my remaining 4 games with the luck turned around again. No 18 wins for me, no player pick, but at least Gold 2 this week.
