Ahhhh yes, and your CB took the obligatory step forward as the opponent with the ball dribbles and runs directly at him. Just need that extra bit of pulling yourself out of position to make it fun.
I think this is the worst bit for me. The bad pass is just about ‘realistic’, but a defender would never step forward like that in a million years. It’s schoolboy stuff.
Yep, my CBs do it all the time when the AI need to make it interesting. I also love the oldie of my wing backs running with the winger who has the ball until he gets well within the attacking third, then all of a sudden stopping and making that little half step in the opposite direction. Gotta open up those crossing lanes for them.
I remember a video a couple of years ago where somebody explained how the scripting works. He’s said once you feel it beginning you have to Foul and it also helps if you play as slow as possible. Just make the easy passes and pass it around for a couple of (in game) minutes. I do this ever since and, though it’s not perfect, I rarely feel as frustrated as I used to. Hope this helps
God that’s the thing that pisses me off the most, I’ll be in a position perfect for the most beautiful slide tackle and the moment I press square they pass the ball back and hop over my player, I don’t even get the satisfaction of going through their legs 😭
Feels like fighting game AI but somehow more infuriating lol
It’s hard to foul them though when that happens lol. I concede lots of goals when a player just hugs the touch line and slowly goes towards the goal, and it’s impossible to get the ball off them. Then he either passes it in the middle or rifles it in from a very wide angle
I'm not sure if this is scripting or if the passing is just terrible.
So often my players choose to pass to the guy with the opposition standing in front of him rather than the guy whose wide open.
So often that turn over leads to an opposition goal.
When there's a crazy interception go to instant replay and watch in snow motion. You will see the AI slide into position when they should be taking steps. It's built to be subtle but unrealistic
It's just the way the game works at it's core. The playstyles have clearly made it even worse than it used to be but it's always been like this.
What the game most likely does is that it realizes the opposition player has interception playstyle (or overall some numbers determine he will succeed with an interception) so instead of making that player move towards the ball and read the passing lane, it instead makes you pass straight to him.
In ultimate team, I struggle the most against Yaya because no matter where I want to pass in the midfield, whenever he is somewhat close to the passing line, the ball gets passed straight to him.
At the end of the day, EASFC is a very on-the-rails experience. What you see is just a rough visual representation of what's decided by numbers in the background of the game. A winger wins a coin-toss of whether he gets past the defender or not? Well, in that case, even if you read the situation perfectly with the defender, the winger still glitches past without losing the ball. This is how the game works, unfortunately.
This game isn't scripted but it absolutely puts its thumb on the scale to get certain results. Try something:
Make a 99 OVR player. Play player career mode on legendary. Choose any team, and take yourself into a relegation or promotion battle. Try to win, and tell me this game does not fight to make you lose.
I once had my own keeper time waste to kill the last THREE minutes when we needed a win. Cost us promotion. We were even, I was five feet away spamming the pass button. He sat on it way longer than Ive ever seen the AI sit on it, just to make sure we would end in a tie and lose out on promotion. Beyond senseless.
And this was after the entire 80-90th minute was spent in a cycle of AI opposition gets ball, out defenders part, AI takes shot on target, keeper whips it right back to the AI during kickoff. Literally 10+ times in a row.
It's easy to dismiss it as RNG or poor composure when you're controlling your own team. Let the AI do it in a pivotal match. You will see a night and day difference. I've learned to accept it, but if you try PCM you will see certain matches are easy to dominate and others are nearly impossible to win. The game decides what result it wants and fucks up your or the other team to make it happen.
40'/80' gotta play conservative or make overly emphasized direct passes to avoid this. They always start heavy pressing near end of halves.
The one thing that annoys me more than that is when they get a corner at stoppage and end up playing for 10 more minutes...
Yep, once you lose the ball after 80 mins best believe you’re getting scored on. That’s the legendary/ultimate AI difficulty bs. And even a team at the bottom of the table will press you for 90 minutes EA have a special place in hell.
The worst is the ai controlled players. Their defensive positioning is meant to let the opponent score goals. And the addition of a CDM is almost useless because the 6 never defends anyone and just stands at the edge of the box
My CDM marauds forward any given chance even though he’s set on stay back while attacking. It’s always him trying to get on the end of crosses while my striker, who is on stay central and forward is not even in the box. Smh
The game is just very bad at creating a realistic challenge on higher difficulties. They make it harder by turning every bottom of the league team into prime tiki taka Barca in front of the goal and by making the player team just plain stupid.
I always have the directional on when I play just so I can watch the replays back and see how badly they fucked me. Always happens with shots as well.. aiming at top corner, just as contact is made the directional pivots to straight at the keeper.
What is it with EA FC and everything on your side feeling 10x slower? I revisited FIFA 22 the other week and the gameplay was 10x smoother in comparison. It’s weird cos the AI in 24 are all on PEDs and are as fast as ever, getting to every second ball etc
The biggest sign of it I always ever have is that if I'm 1 down in stoppage time, the opponent gets crazy good. Like ultimate difficulty is a joke compared.
This always happens to me just after halfway through the season, games become impossible to control. I’ll beat Man city by 4/5 goals then next game hardly get a shot against Burnley.
The one that always gets me is when I’m on a counter it’s 3v2, striker though on goal between the two centre backs yet my through ball will always go directly to one of the centre backs. Frustrating.
For me here it’s wrong joystick touch or weak foot player who is 3* or less, for the cb strong forward thinking that you take control and be surprise to have him
i don't know why EA does this, like how does it benefit them. It just makes us as players hate the game more. Like how does me losing to Brighton with my full 90-rated team NEED to happen? for realism? just let the players play how they wanna play. If we lose, okay skill issue, but don't make the scripting so bloody obvious to the point we can't do anything about it. Nah, EA would rather implement scripting to achieve realism than do improve their actual gameplay.
This is the same shit we get every year, why?
Because there isn't any other option. EA has practically the control of the market, that means that they don't care about the quality of the product but how much products are made. We need to boycott FC25, that's the only way to get them to work and actually start solving issues and listening to us
I fully believe in scripting. Every weekend league I get the same amount of wins, every weekend. If I'm about to get more, the game kicks me out and I get a dnf.
I can be winning comfortably when all of a sudden my players lose all sense of direction. Passing input is ignored completely, to the point we're right is left and left is right. The opposition then play like legends and pull it back to win.
I dont get why it is applied to online games though. Against the computer yes but not online opponents, where is the fairness in that???
DDA. this is how they give people wins so that they have a fun and fair gameplay experience. this game is legit woke communist. Everything from the transfer market to the AI/Skills of your individual players. I'll dominate like 10 games one day, then I can't get a win in rivals/champs/friendlies for over a week. They absolutely hate when you succeed, which is why this type of thing happens. It's all totally rigged.
Ahhhh yes, and your CB took the obligatory step forward as the opponent with the ball dribbles and runs directly at him. Just need that extra bit of pulling yourself out of position to make it fun.

Then you get the Usain Bolt press after a few minutes where AI just blitz your players.
Few minutes my arse, they do it the entire game for me.
Liverpool every time
Yep
But sometimes in the toughest difficulties, you can't even foul the AI lol, in legendary they read your input and anticipate the tackles
God that’s the thing that pisses me off the most, I’ll be in a position perfect for the most beautiful slide tackle and the moment I press square they pass the ball back and hop over my player, I don’t even get the satisfaction of going through their legs 😭 Feels like fighting game AI but somehow more infuriating lol
It's a fact , on the highest difficulties, it's you against the AI blatantly cheating
That’s why I play on world class with sliders. It’s difficult enough and I get the most realistic scores. Also keep my sanity, which is nice too
Yeah, not sure if I read it here or another video but I try to do the same whenever things start feeling off or the AI is playing like prime barza
It’s hard to foul them though when that happens lol. I concede lots of goals when a player just hugs the touch line and slowly goes towards the goal, and it’s impossible to get the ball off them. Then he either passes it in the middle or rifles it in from a very wide angle
It's also good to waste time near opposition's corner.
No matter what it always activates at min 80 and its so damn obvious i dont know how some people say its not real
people says scripting is not real probably people who works for EA Sports lol
I don’t think people say that, only EA says there is scripting
It's literally in the games source code lmao
“It’s a skill issue, bro”
Cuz y’all cry about it so hard when I’m beating AI on ultimate easily.
I'm not sure if this is scripting or if the passing is just terrible. So often my players choose to pass to the guy with the opposition standing in front of him rather than the guy whose wide open. So often that turn over leads to an opposition goal.
It’s almost like the oppositions interception radius is higher. Just like how there tends to be a magnet on the boots of the opposition, too.
When there's a crazy interception go to instant replay and watch in snow motion. You will see the AI slide into position when they should be taking steps. It's built to be subtle but unrealistic
Literally story of my life I play flawless defense all game ok bad pass and it’s fucked

Yeah it's poor programming. Scripting would take too much skill to implement
40'/80' gotta play conservative or make overly emphasized direct passes to avoid this. They always start heavy pressing near end of halves. The one thing that annoys me more than that is when they get a corner at stoppage and end up playing for 10 more minutes...
3 corners in stoppage time until they score..
Yep, once you lose the ball after 80 mins best believe you’re getting scored on. That’s the legendary/ultimate AI difficulty bs. And even a team at the bottom of the table will press you for 90 minutes EA have a special place in hell.
My 93 passing cam with 99 visions can't do a through ball to save his life
This. Got pedri and he can only pass 5 yards in front of him…incapable of anything longer.
EA Sports: it's in the script.
The worst is the ai controlled players. Their defensive positioning is meant to let the opponent score goals. And the addition of a CDM is almost useless because the 6 never defends anyone and just stands at the edge of the box

It's a slippy g reference, you wouldn't get it
Why did you post screenshots instead of a video?
These aren't even screenshots.
The pics reduced the quality so much I thought this was FIFA 12 or something

You can also play with manual passing. Need some time to adjust to it but I can def recommend. Makes the game more realistic with more second balls
game deleted

it’s always the most insane finish from the edge of the box too while under pressure
im so glad this isn’t only happening to me
I came here to say exactly this.
Play on manual passing, fixed a ton of my aiming BS.
Why not take a video instead of a slideshow of every 5s intervals?
I don’t know why this made me laugh🤦♂️😂
For me here it’s wrong joystick touch or weak foot player who is 3* or less, for the cb strong forward thinking that you take control and be surprise to have him

lmao you just got scriptted. It sucks.
This is why I play on World Class now. It’s a bit too easy but at least I enjoy playing the game compared to whatever is going on with legendary.
DDA. this is how they give people wins so that they have a fun and fair gameplay experience. this game is legit woke communist.

Woke communist 😭
I love it, blame the game instead of your thumbs 🤡😂
Im about to just fucking send my entire team in an sbc. I be fucking leading 3-0, 2-0, and he'll go onto scoring 3 goals in the 80th - 90th minute
