If you have been following the whole female football scene, Ada Hegerberg is a name that might resonate with you. The first-ever recipient of the Ballon d’Or Féminin. If you think about it, that makes her the first Norwegian player to win the prestigious award, even before Haaland, albeit in the female category. With her presence in EA Sports FC 24, players were eager to experience her skills and gameplay firsthand. Unfortunately, the arrival of Ada Hegerberg brought with it an unexpected hiccup. Yes, we are talking about the skill move bug. What this does is make the player lose control of the ball whenever they use Ada’s skills, and eventually run away from it. While the bug may make you laugh for some time, it does not do justice to the talent of the player. So, the next thing you may try is finding out ways to fix this bug and having Hegerberg perform her skills, showing her finesse on the ball rather than running away. So, is there a fix to this bug?
In competitive gameplay, most players look forward to controlling the athletes with high dribbling, pace, and other game-changing stats. With 89 shooting and 86 dribbling, Hegerberg’s stats are enough to make a difference on the pitch. So, when a bug like this occurs, it might make you want to rage. And why wouldn’t you, after losing the ball on the final third to a lowly-rated defender, only because your character has a bug while performing a skill? Naturally, this bug with Ada Hegerberg has left players scratching their heads as they try to master her skills, only to find their efforts thwarted. Continue reading for more details on it.
