Authentic Gameplay - Online Friendlies
Dear EA team, could you please make it possible to use the truly good "authentic gameplay" at least online in friendly matches? The "competitive mode" is simply too fast and there are far too many goals. We are an online community that values realism and not scoring as many goals as possible. Please, please, add this with a patch as soon as possible. greetings!Career Difficulty Level doesn’t work, all are very easy.
I am winning 8-0 even on Ultimate Difficulty in Career Mode. Putting in no effort because it’s all so easy. Seems like the difficulty doesn’t actually change from semi pro upwards. I am playing as Chelsea which have a decidedly average team, but it’s no challenge at all.Clubs Infinite Stamina
The infinite stamina is an issue that entirely affects how clubs games feel and makes things too unbalanced in favor of teams with a lot of users and for pace (which already has a big advantage generally). Going back to the older system of long-term stamina drain would help a lot to make things feel normal again.
Human Goalkeeper - Pro Clubs - The worst ever.
I Play as GK on PC since 2014 in Pro Clubs mode and it's the worst update and the one that has changed the most in the history of the franchise for the goalkeeper position. I played for about 20 hours and it's terrible and frustrating for those who were expecting the improvements you promised. 1- Pressing R3 to the side at the moment of the shot or during the animation simply leaves half the goal exposed and the goalkeeper has no reaction to defend some point-blank shots on his own. 2- You have introduced things that are impossible to achieve given the server response time, especially for shots from inside the area. There's no way we can expect the guy to shoot from inside the small area and react in time to defend, since this is a video game and we depend on delay, lag, input lag, and online servers. 3- Sometimes you get everything right, positioning, R3, and even so, the ball goes in. 4- Short-range shots are very powerful, even if the offensive players are not completely up to date. 5- There are weak balls where you use a command like R3 or ball for the goalkeeper to hold the ball, and he does nothing, and the ball goes over his head. 6- The Far Reach Plus and others PS+ animation is still not activated on shots, just like in the previous game. 7- Holding down the triangle button on crosses no longer has any effect because the goalkeeper no longer goes for the ball, and when he does, he doesn't catch it. Even if you press the new “ball” button for the goalkeeper to catch the ball, sometimes he doesn't catch it. The controls simply don't work. 8- The way it was before was much less worse. Have you ever played in that position to know what it's like and how the servers respond? 9- I spent $3,000 on a powerful computer to run this new game smoothly on the Be a Pro camera, to play competitively, and look what you bring us. This is extremely discouraging. You need to fix this urgently. 10- Now human goalkeepers are worse than BOTS. Unless you are a superhuman with super reflexes and play inside EA's server, you will not be able to outperform a BOT. 11- Now all GK defensive assists are manual, regardless of whether you set the game settings to semi or assisted. Sometimes the ball passes just centimeters from the goalkeeper and he doesn't save it. 12- LT/L2 (Jockey button) does not work using the GK on PC. 13- Often you time your jump right to grab or punch the ball, but your goalkeeper still loses the aerial battle to the attacker or defender and concedes a goal. 14- I've been playing this game mode in this position for over 10 years, and this time is definitely the most frustrating and humiliating of all.FC 26 defensive AI is rubbish
Dear EA Team, As a long-time fan of football video games, I am extremely disappointed with the release of FC26. This is by far the worst edition I have ever played, and honestly, the experience is terrible. The gameplay completely betrays the essence of football, especially with the unbalanced and unrealistic defensive AI, which destroys any sense of teamwork and makes individual dribbling far too easy. This seriously ruins the fun of the game. The defensive players in FC26 simply back off without putting any real pressure on the attacker. They never try to make a real tackle or interception, so it’s almost effortless to get past the defense with simple ball control. This kind of design is far from real football and has greatly reduced the competitive and cooperative aspects that make these games enjoyable. I hope you will listen to player feedback and urgently improve the defensive AI and team coordination to restore the real spirit of football to the game. If nothing changes, I and many friends are seriously considering not supporting your products in the future. Thank you.FC 26 Career Mode – Gameplay realism, fouls, and contract logic
First off, I’m really enjoying FC 26 so far. I play Manager Career Mode and I think this year’s installment is one of the strongest in the past 3–4 years. Gameplay feels solid on Authentic and Ultimate difficulty—maybe a bit too easy at times—but with some slider adjustments, it really feels good to play. That said, I’ve noticed a few issues that I think could be addressed to improve realism and immersion: CPU aggression and lack of fouls/injuries CPU teams rarely commit fouls, even with aggression and injury sliders maxed out. This leads to: - Very few free kicks or penalties (unless handballs are on). - Almost no injuries, which affects squad rotation and realism. - A noticeable imbalance where I commit more fouls than the CPU, especially when playing aggressively. It would be great to see more contextual fouls, physical duels, and injury variety—especially in longer Career Mode saves. Contract negotiation logic It seems players only want to negotiate contracts in the final year. That’s frustrating and unrealistic. It would be more immersive if: - Players were open to talks with 2 years left. - They initiated negotiations based on form, role, or wage expectations. - There was more dynamic interaction—e.g., players requesting extensions or pay bumps. This would add depth to squad management and make Career Mode feel more alive. These tweaks could make a huge difference for those of us who play long-term saves and prioritize realism. And when looking at what has been implemented in the game do not seem to me at least difficult to address.
Please Add 120 FPS Support for FC 26 on PS5
Hey, I really hope FC 26 brings native 120 FPS support on PS5. Console players have been waiting for this feature for a long time. If you've ever played FC on PC at 120 FPS or higher, you already know how smooth and responsive the game feels. It’s a big difference, especially during fast-paced moments. Once you get used to it, 60 FPS feels noticeably slower. PS5 is powerful enough to handle 120 FPS. A simple performance mode or toggle in the settings would be enough—even with slightly reduced resolution. It’s time for FC on PS5 to catch up with the smoothness we’ve seen on PC for years. Thanks.Not getting wins when the opponent quits
Please can something be done about players quitting the game when they're losing and the opponent does not get the win. I play online Seasons and almost every game the opponent quits when I am in a winning position. They either wait till 80+ minutes to quit or if they're losing by a big scoreline, they will quit the game immediately and I will not get the win nor will there be a record to show I played that opponent. Sometimes they will cheat by pausing the game, do something to quit and a message will show "you have lost connection to your opponent..." Sometimes the disconnection will be immediately after you score (almost instantly) and you will not get the win and there will be no record of that game. And finally, they also cheat by stop playing after you score. The game will restart from the centre circle and the opponent will not move at all, then after approximately a minute you will lose connection to your opponent and not get the win etc. The level of frustration this causes when people are doing it almost every game is immense and I will not play online Seasons anymore until this issue is fixed. I hope EA will do something about it.MAJOR Career Mode bug
A player hands in a transfer request, and I can no longer take part in negotiations. It claims my assistant manager is "handling" it. I get an message from the Chief Executive saying the offer is WITHDRAWN as the other team did NOT RECIEVE A TIMELY RESPONSE MY ASSISTANT MANAGER DOES NOT RESPOND TO NEGOTIATIONS AND YOU DID NOT GIVE ME THE OPTION TO IT HAS RUINED MY ENTIRE CAREER MODE SAVE!! I WANT THIS FIXED AT ONCE
Request for Inclusion of Greek Super League and Greek National Team
Dear EA Sports Team, My name is Sokos Konstantinos, and as a dedicated fan of the EA Sports FC series, I am writing to express my enthusiasm for your upcoming title, EA Sports FC 26, which I have already pre-ordered in its Ultimate Edition, as I have done with all previous titles in the franchise. My consistent support reflects my deep appreciation for the immersive and authentic football experience your games provide. I am reaching out with a sincere request to consider including the Greek Super League and the Greek national team in EA Sports FC 26. This is not a condition or bargaining point for my purchase, as my commitment to the series remains unwavering. Rather, it is a heartfelt wish from a passionate fan of both your games and Greek football. The Greek Super League holds significant historical and cultural importance, with a rich legacy of competitive matches and fervent fan support. Clubs such as AEK Athens, Olympiacos FC, Panathinaikos, and PAOK FC have not only dominated domestically but have also made notable impacts in European competitions, exemplified by Olympiacos’ historic UEFA Conference League victory in 2024. Including the Greek Super League would celebrate these achievements, enhance gameplay diversity, and provide fans worldwide with the opportunity to experience the intense rivalries and vibrant atmosphere of Greek football. Additionally, the inclusion of the Greek national team would further enrich the game’s authenticity. Greece’s memorable Euro 2004 triumph and its consistent production of talented players demonstrate the nation’s footballing pedigree. Featuring the national team would resonate deeply with fans and allow players to engage with Greece’s unique football identity on an international stage. I understand that adding new leagues and teams requires significant resources and licensing efforts. However, the passionate Greek football community, combined with the global appeal of these teams, would undoubtedly enhance the EA Sports FC 26 experience and attract a broader audience. I kindly urge you to consider this request, as it would honor the legacy of Greek football and fulfill the wishes of many loyal fans like myself. Thank you for your time and consideration. I eagerly await the release of EA Sports FC 26 and appreciate your ongoing efforts to deliver an unparalleled football gaming experience. Sincerely, Sokos G. KonstantinosFC IQ PLAYERS POSITIONING ISSUE
i put my right back with attacking wingback role and an attack instructions, why did my right back stay in the back and not upfront when the ball is on the other side of the pitch, it only goes forward when the ball is on his side and even when the ball goes to the middle it starts running back please resolve the issue cs in the FC 25 it stays up front with the attacking wingback rolesProblems with the artificial intelligence in FC 26 Career mode
Problems with the artificial intelligence in FC 26 Career mode I wanted to understand what they did with the machine's intelligence in FC 26 Career mode. The AI's behavior is really bad: Doesn't attack, doesn't shoot, and doesn't cross. Holds the ball too much, even when it should advance. Doesn't do one-two passes or collective plays. On defense, holds the ball in the back in an absurd way. If I press, closing the passes, they lose the ball easily and a goal is scored. I have the aggression on 100 and they haven’t made a single foul. I've already tried all possible settings: Authentic Gameplay, Competitive Gameplay, Ultimate and Legendary difficulties. The result is still really bad: the game is extremely easy, without a challenge, and the matches end in routs. Sadly, you can't enjoy Career mode like this. EA please fix it. I buy this game only for the career mode and it’s completely unplayable.Request for TR server
Dear EA Team, We’re writing as the Turkish FC community to ask for one thing we’ve been waiting on for years: dedicated servers in Turkey for EA SPORTS FC 26. There are hundreds of thousands of us here playing on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox. Football games are by far the number one genre in Turkey, and every year we spend millions of dollars on the game itself, FUT packs, and EA Play. Right now we’re stuck playing on European servers with 40–60ms ping. For casual matches it’s annoying, but in competitive play it makes the game feel unfair. Matches are decided by delay, not by skill. This also hurts our esports players. Pros and semi-pros from Turkey have to compete with a disadvantage, and many have already spoken out about how damaging this is for their performance and for the local scene. Other companies like Riot and Valve have already set up Turkish servers, and the results have been great: happier players, healthier esports, and stronger communities. Adding servers in Turkey would solve these problems, give us a fair playing field, and show that EA values its fans here. It would make the game more enjoyable for everyone and help the Turkish esports scene grow. We hope you take this seriously and give Turkey the place it deserves in the global football gaming community
