Tested by Community Report on Base PS5
Game feels like an alpha build with several severe bugs and has received an orange rating for "download required" as a result.
Test Notes:
- Interface is extremely laggy; drop-down menus lag when scrolling, often compensating by auto-scrolling in the opposite direction. Affects every single menu.
- Every single role description defaults to "Advanced Playmaker."
- Player models are poor quality; many appear bald or prematurely balding. Lighting in some stadiums is so bad that player skin tones (e.g., distinguishing Black or white players) are unrecognizable.
- Scrolling through inbox messages (via "Next message" with no dedicated button) loops back through all messages after reaching the top.
- Critical substitution bug: Subs do not register in match simulation or player menus; original player remains listed as on-field. Subbed player appears only in tactics view. Nothing happens on pitch.
- Can select more than 5 leagues on console, but only after removing women's leagues.
Content Completed:
10 hours of of playtime.
Additional Notes:
Similar UI lag, menu issues, and bugs widely reported in beta across platforms.
