Goalkeepers suck

I have found that they already are.

I use sliders woth gk ability at 42 and see no issues. I just won 2-0 twice in a row. AI with almost 30 shots, at least 10-12 were on target.

I saw in the EA HQ Talk, that there are a lot of gamers having an issue with the gk.. But obviously, the guys at EA don´t see this, don´t care, or are unable to fix it. There is no challenge in one vs one situation, when you know the gk falls to the ground when you shoot.. So you can lob the ball or try near post...what a crap...this is not 2021 stuff - it is 2017... get your act together, EA...this is a poor performance in programming... and you are not listening....

We are half-way through the FIFA 21 year, and EA has not come up with an patch for goalkeepers... I see a lot of criticism, and this is something EA has to fix. There is no reason to find polite words to describe this utter nonsense of programming sh.. I have never seen so stupid GK in a 1vs1 situation. How can you, EA, release such garbage? Come on, di your homework properly and give us a patch de-bugging it, because it is simply a bug... FIX it.. or give us a chance to fix it by ourselves... The gk should have the chance to remain standing when doing an save, and not dropping to the gras every time, making it easy to play a lob or aiming high... fix it

I can’t say that I am a professional player, but I’m not really a beginner either. My colleagues and I play at work in FIFA and yes, the score can be ridiculous, like 9:1, but this is unlikely because of the goalkeeper.

Y'all have to realize that FIFA is not a soccer simulation (or even close to one). The sooner that is realized, the sooner you'll understand why goalies and defenders aren't very good. The majority of FIFA players play FUT and don't care about simulation, just the competition aspects of the game. The massive FUT player base would leave in droves if the majority of game scores were 0-0, 1-0, 2-0, etc. and required a knowledge of tactics and such.

Want simulation football, the closest you're going to get is Football Manager.

I have been playing Fifa since 1998... and yes, EA has a GK problem. They are dumb in a 1 vs 1 situation. It is programming **** and nonsense in respect to where it should be. They drop to the floor every time. Why can´t they remain standing? 80% of the shots would be saved. And that near post zombie reaction is ridiculous.. I don´t understand why everyone does not see this crap...

Keepers aren't good enough but near post is the only major gripe I have. I also play with GK slider at 60, so that helps.
