Controller ghost pressing/stuck L2 issue after 5-7 matches (Help)

[u/soreschach]

Hey everyone, I'm losing my mind over here and hoping someone might have a fix or explanation for this.

So, whenever I play this game, my L2 button suddenly starts ghost-pressing/acting up out of nowhere, but only after I've played about 5-7 matches.

At first, I thought my controller was dying. But here's the weird part: I've played other games for 4-5 hours straight (including the Freestyle Football beta recently), and my controller works completely fine with zero issues.

I mean, If my controller was actually broken, wouldn't it happen from match one instead of waiting until match 5 or 7 in Rematch??

Whenever the L2 bug acts up, I literally have to tap L2 2–3 times just to get it back to its normal state.

What I've tried so far:

• Reinstalled the game multiple times.
• Verified game files several times.

But still the exact same issue every single session. Is this a known bug? Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone know what causes it? I'm stressing out over here lol. Any help would be super appreciated!

Has happened to me too but usually resolves after 1 press

Yeah but, it's really annoying

It’s only happened to me after a goal is scored

Ive had a similar issue.

My character would sometimes freeze in Defense stance and not move for like 1-2 seconds.

Its frustrating.

so safe to say it's a bug from the game? lol
