Gimmicks and hacks
Nothing really critical ever gets fixed, so this feels rather Sisyphean, but I am simply done with all the gimmicks and hacks EA has in place instead of good gameplay. I am playing career mode on legendary and in the Champions League playoff. I am facing a team from my domestic league that I have already played 4 times this season and the games have largely been within the realm of reality. But always lurking in the background of an EA game are the hacks and gimmicks that EA put in and this particular match is genuinely unplayable. The team I am very familiar with is suddenly unplayable. They are lightening fast, they have tons of one touch passing, there is no tackling because they always get rid of the ball perfectly at the last second when the user player gets close. Obvious positions where the ball is right in between the players don't result in tackles. The user player is basically a spectator on defense; SUPER DUPER FUN and realistic. I know somebody at EA thought this would be a challenge or something, but I think the reality is that A. They don't actually care all that much about gameplay. People have been asking for improved manual defending for years and they have done nothing. B. They don't actually know how their codebase works; just look at the releases they have had to walk back this year alone. C. They don't actually play the game anymore or at least not in any kind of comprehensive way that would highlight all the ways the game is falling apart. So the solution when you don't care about your product that much, don't really know how your code base works, and don't do any quality testing prior to release or collect user feedback with a plan for action is... ...to release hacks and gimmicks. Just crank up the CPU offense and call it a challenge. Never mind that the resulting game play is awful and unrealistic in the extreme. Just push the release and call it a day. Nobody is ever going to trust you again after this year. You said you were listening, you released a game with barely anything fixed from a truly awful FC 25 game, and then you spent all year not fixing anything. There are so many broken things in this game; why would anyone trust you to release a good game again?0Views0likes0CommentsWhat do the monitors even do?
This is a genuine question. Because from my understanding outside of policing this forum, what are yall doing? you’ve said time and time again that you relay our concerns to the devs, after seeing this update I highly doubt that. Because if you were communicating our frustrations correctly, their would be a patch for - kickoff goals, overpowered AI defense, bounce packs, trash passing, input delay etc the list goes on. so please, enlighten me.12Views1like2Comments260 ping only in Clubs
Since one of the last updates (1-2 weeks ago) me and my club mates are experiencing new issue. In every game 2-3 out of 5-6 players have around 260 ping, while the rest has normal 30 ping. Every match different players are affected, so it's clearly not on our side. We play crossplay and it affects both PC and console users. Obviously something is broken in the game. Please help because at this point Clubs game mode is literally unplayable. We all tried resetting routers, we use wired connection etc. We don't have any connection issues in other games, and also in other game modes in FC26. The same issue has been raised by chewierrock625 in thread: https://forums.ea.com/discussions/fc-26-technical-issues-en/low-ping-on-ut-high-ping-on-clubs/13197064 EA_Darko you claimed there that it's not in-game issue as you don't see many reports for it. So... It is in-game issue and needs to be fixed ASAP, because we literally can't play this game mode.429Views4likes14CommentsUnplayable Input Delay after new update - Same issue again!
The game is practically unplayable on online modes after the latest update. I am experiencing constant, massive input delay of 3 to 4 seconds from the very start of every match. It does not go away and makes it impossible to play. This issue started occurring strictly after this update and it is even worse than before. Is anyone else having this problem? We need a fix ASAP.

Awful input delay while and after taking corners and freekicks. Makes the game extremely unplayable as oppoent has a clear advantage in those 15 seconds of terrible input delay. My ping is contant on 15ms via ethernet and my controller is plugged in so clearly huge problem with the game. Windows 114Views0likes0CommentsDue time to congratulate EA
We all give EA a lot of trash about all their countless mistakes and predatory practices, but what they do is actually impressive. For a team of devs in a billion dollar company to create a release patch after patch and every single one of them make the game worse, it is very impressive. I don't think making a football game is inherently easy, but by making the game bad you have that psychological trigger that since you are not bad, you get bad results since your team is bad. Whatever causes this horrendous input lag and slow sluggish gameplay, be it DDA or the cheapest servers out of any game in history, are just a testament of how a bad business model and a money hungry management can lead a thriving company to fail. Most of us play this game out of nostalgia and lack of options, but eventually some other company will rise and take their spots, specially since EA puts in every effort to make a profit regardless of what the means, what on its own is just lack of sight. The are usually nothing special, but sometimes they are really cool. The problem is, the game itself its not enjoyable. They need to reduce the amount of games for rewards because it is impossible to play 20 games in a row. The game engine simply doesn't work with the amount of animations they add, DDA decides when your player will be R9 or a 48 rated bronze and the servers are so bad that 15ping feels like 2000.8Views1like0Comments20 000 axp pro clubs
Hello, I play on PS5 and my PSN ID is IK Arman. I logged into Clubs mode on April 6, but I still haven’t received the 20,000 AXP instant bonus. My archetype is level 50, so I am eligible. I have already restarted the game and the console, and I’ve played several Club matches, but the reward still does not appear under Archetypes → Consumables. Please check my account and add the missing reward.71Views1like2Commentsslow motion gameplay again with the latest update...

Hello, I haven’t played a soccer game since probably 2019. I just bought FC26 to play with my friends and when I login it says I’m PERMANENTLY banned? I literally haven’t played in years and I don’t get it. It says in my ban history I was permanently banned twice. Please help, I’m not sure if my account was hacked or what but I’d really like to play or get a refund at the least. I’m on Xbox so I can’t even cheat13Views0likes0Comments
