EA SPORTS FC 26 v1.1.3 will soon be available. Driven by your Career Mode feedback, we’re updating CPU AI decision making with the intent of making it challenging and engaging to play against, especially on higher difficulties.
The CPU AI will now aim to:
- Look for passes more often and make quicker decisions about them.
- Dribble more effectively with sharper turns, less straightforward movement, and less dwelling on the ball.
- Switch players on defense more often in situations where trailing the runner is not beneficial.
These CPU AI decision making updates apply to both Competitive and Authentic Gameplay. As a reminder, the term CPU AI here is referring to the virtual user controlling the team you're playing against in offline matches.
Thank you for all your feedback so far, we’ll continue to watch it closely in this space. Feel free to let us know what you think of this update directly through the Player Feedback Portal:
Throughout the EA SPORTS FC 26 season we'll provide you with more information and updates if and when they become available. Be sure to follow @EASFCDIRECT on X and WhatsApp, and check out the EA SPORTS FC Tracker for the latest news and updates.
