Suggestion: Add Saudi King’s Cup, Super Cup, and AFC Champions League .
Hello EA team, I’m a long-time fan of the EA SPORTS FC (formerly FIFA) series, and I truly appreciate the efforts you’ve made to expand global football representation in the game. I would like to suggest the inclusion of major football tournaments related to the Saudi Pro League and Asian football. With the growing popularity of Saudi and Asian clubs internationally, I believe these additions would bring more realism and engagement to the game: King’s Cup (Saudi Arabia’s national cup) Saudi Super Cup AFC Champions League (Elite format) These competitions are highly prestigious in the region and followed by millions. Their inclusion would also serve the large and growing player base from the Middle East and Asia. Thank you for your attention, and I hope you consider this in future updates or versions of the game. Best regards, A loyal EA SPORTS FC player from the Middle East 🇸🇦8Views1like2CommentsOversimplified Mechanics & Loss of Skill Gap
I've been playing Fifa/FC for many years, and I've noticed a trend that concerns me: the gameplay mechanics are becoming increasingly simplified. Mechanics that once rewarded skill are being replaced by features that remove challenge and execution. Dribbling Dribbling now relies heavily on holding one button (R1) for controlled sprint, allowing players to glide past defenders without needing to learn proper dribbling techniques. In previous games, effective dribbling required mastering traps, feints, short bursts of acceleration, and skill moves. The current system doesn't reward that learning curve, when a single input can be just as effective, it reduces the gap between experienced and new players. It punishes those who took the time to learn the complexity of dribbling and risks alienating the most loyal player base. Tackling Defending feels too automated. I can understand that auto-tackling is useful in certain situations, but players with low standing tackle stats often win the ball just as effectively as those with high stats. Giving the feeling that attributes have less meaning Shooting Outside the box shots, especially trivela and finesse shots are more consistent and dangerous than well-worked chances inside the box. Timed finishing was meant to add depth, but once mastered, it becomes muscle memory rather than a true skill test. Choosing the right shot type in the right moment should matter more than tapping a button twice. The newer free kick system uses a trajectory line showing you exactly where the ball will go. It turns free kicks into something predictable and overly guided. I believe a more natural system, where the players use their own perspective to aim, would be more satisfying and immersive. Gimmick Mechanics Player Lock and Power Shots feel more like gimmicks than skill-based mechanics. Player Lock relies on AI involvement as much as user input, and Power Shots break immersion with unrealistic speed and animation. I feel like past Fifa games would reward you for the time and effort you put in to understand the deeper mechanics. Now it feels like mechanics are simplified to accommodate quick, casual play, which comes at the expense of the skill gap, making high-level mechanics feel irrelevant when low-effort inputs get the same results I'm not sure if everyone would agree, but I wanted to share my thoughts in the hope future iterations of the game consider bringing more depth and skill based mechanics back to the gameplay.HopsTheWorldPlace FC 26 General DiscussionFC 26 General DiscussionSeasoned Newcomer50Views0likes4CommentsCreate a Club Suggestion
Dear Ea Sports, I have been playing your game for over 6 years now & I love it! I am a big manager career guy, & been loving to rebuild teams to the top. When y’all introduced your create a club choice, I was through the roof. However, there was one thing I didn’t get. Why did we have to replace a team, & how did we get all these players without paying for them. My suggestion is to keep the teams that were previously in the league you want your expansion team in, & also start with no players. This, I believe will make more people come play your game. I hope you take time to look over & hopefully put in in later FC’s. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Reese Vandiver12Views0likes0CommentsCareer Mode
Hello, the feature I'm requesting from you is not difficult to implement and wouldn't take much time. I'm sure that many Career Mode players have been waiting for something like this. For example, when we complete a 5-year career, there could be a special trophy room dedicated to that specific career. It could show which trophies we won during those 5 years, how many matches we played, how many we won, drew, or lost. It could also highlight our top scorer and the player with the most assists. If you add something like this, Career Mode would become a much more enjoyable experience. I truly hope you consider adding this feature to the game.10Views1like0CommentsFC 26 PRO CLUBS THREAD AND DISCUSSION ( IMPORTANT )
this will be a repost from my fifa 22 forums post, fifa 24 forums post and fifa 14 - 15 forums post ( i got banned in all of them ) and everything still applies: Starting from fifa 10-14 fifa Pro clubs was the best mode You could play . 11 vs 11 With human players the beauty of getting actual 22 players like the real life sport and a collective effort towards a goal felt unreal . After that the game mechanics changed to run down the wing simulator Where you have 1 short guy (because tall guys can never be fast) and 1 Tall guy and the short guy runs down the wing holding right trigger on your controller and presses the cross button and tall guy heads it in . It became a game that only required you to spam X button on your controller and you’ll spam away until it works and it will work . Now I’ve been fortunate enough to play in custom organized 11 vs 11 leagues since FIFA 11 . Ranked 1 club in the world to leagues like VIFA , VPSA , VPFL , iFVPAA international, VFL , IVL , WPSA , ELITE FC , FIFA K1NGZ , l Ambitious l these are clubs in XBOX and custom leagues 11 v 11 all organized by third parties with large number of players because FIFA doesn’t want it to get a competitive platform going for clubs . There was a time where people were genuinely interested in investing their time off their real life with no pay but for the passion of the specific pro clubs where the wins were satisfying and losses felt emotional . FIFA pro clubs had and still has such a potential . I’ve posted a thread in this forum 11 years ago about clubs where I proposed ideas such as : 1) ADD A SUBSTITUTION OPTION ( where if your friends join late they can be be subbed in instead of a bot if you are playing regular division club matches it’s bots and only 2 members ) 2) ADD A SPECTATOR MODE ( where if a player wishes they can sit in the bench and watch a live game as it’s being played I know someone can stream but watching a game from in game is better since if you play competitive leagues you may have more than 11 players on at the same time and based on your competitive matches you can spectate and make decisions into next game subbing people on and off while they literally watch the game from the bench making it actually realistic . 3) ADD PAID DLC so EA actually gives a s*** . It’s very clear EA does not make money off pro clubs and ultimate team is the money maker mode with all the micro transactions and that’s why they stopped caring about pro clubs mode . Now this Idea allows them to atleast make some sort of money and get more support for clubs and get some sort of motivation to help improve hardcore pro clubs players . 4)BRING BACK lobbies and 11 v 11 modes and drop ins . Yes I know it was chaotic and people fighting for same spots but atleast you didn’t constantly just play 1 v 1 in empty lobbies . The point of this mode is multiplayer and the chaos it brings but it’s beautiful when everyone works together and you are rewarded . There’s also a mode once upon a time where you could play 11 v 11 with irl players in lobbies that’s also been taken away from us .. for no reason Here I am at my mid - late 20s just reminiscing and reminding myself that I made this exact post 11 years ago posting 3 constructive feedback as a customer who cares about the game mode and willing to pay a little bit more to see a little bit more . But I know posting a constructive comment or feedback will get me permanently banned on this forums again . It’s the end of this mode it’s unfortunate the population of the pro clubs dropped 196% past 10 years gradually .. it’s 2022 moving into 2023 you can’t tell me adding 2 things that’s really hard for them ? Just 1 or 2 actual features ?? Instead of just renaming “traits” into “archetypes “ or changing specialties into “perks” these are not improving the game it’s showing veterans that you don’t care anymore about the game anymore because money runs the world . I have no words but to just say this I had to let it out and I know my ideas are not perfect but atleast I tried . I’m from Vancouver British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 where the FIFA franchise has been made . I’m out thanks for the read if EA doesn’t permanently ban me and censor me I’m sure you’ll be able to read this . FIFA 23 is the Last ever FIFA since EA lost licensing and it has been an era of huge disappointment and they let all of down with no effort. They don't care as long as the money comes in. Now with FIFA 25 and 24 we had issues with drop ins not finding players to people hacking in FC 25 clubs modes or glitching to slow down defenders. The gameplay is dead and 10 year old games now perform better. updated add on : Instead of focusing on 1.2 Billion hair and audience animations which no one cares about why not focus on fixing gameplay , adding all the features requested to pro clubs.. or is it the greed of ultimate team packs and micro transactions thats preventing you from doing it? It is The end of what was to be best of our times . They had multiple chances to resolve multiple years to add and improve.... but now its gone. Forever a memory that cannot be re-lived again. Now with FIFA giving up ON EA the only thing they have added is "CROSS-PLAY" within same generations thats their only real "Feature" still you cannot substitute players into a match. This game the potential to be a major E-SPORT ground since 2012 if they played their cards right and maybe into top E-SPORT platform and even in Olympic E-SPORT for pro clubs 11vs11. At this point EA should just delete and close the franchise. Instead of faking it and renaming old conventions such as "traits" now being called "playstyles" then calling it a "new thing" just stop pretending and delete the franchise since you failed and get back to making a proper game like battlefield. Dont put half effort into it just go all in with full effort or give up completely . Dont waste your own time or your customers time faking it the whole time. You gave up on us ... and we will give up on you. This year is your last chance to redeem yourself as a final note before you file for bankruptcy. I know admins will ban me yet again for expressing a VALID and Legit concern as a paying customer. As usual...591Views0likes3Comments- 3Views0likes0Comments
Clubs Mode Needs More Attention 🔴
Hello, Clubs Mode is considered the second most enjoyable mode after Ultimate Team—but for me, it's number one. Many players truly enjoy playing Clubs Mode, and it deserves much more attention, especially when it comes to competition within the mode. Also, the Playoff system needs to be removed and replaced with the old Division system. As Clubs Mode players, we used to enjoy competing in Division 1 for the title and seeing the celebration scenes where the team lifts the trophy. But in FC 25, there’s no real excitement—no trophy celebrations—and the current division system is bad. Once your team reaches the Elite Division, there’s nothing left to fight for—just meaningless matches with no goal or joy. Previously, the goal was to win as many titles as possible. Please reconsider this situation—we want that passion and excitement to return. We don’t want to just reach Elite and then wait for the lifeless Playoff tournament, which doesn’t even have trophy celebrations or anything meaningful. Honestly, ever since the Playoffs were introduced, I lost interest in playing league matches. Most strong teams now organize external tournaments through friendlies. It's honestly sad. . and it allows you to easily see the number of titles won by any club you join.Manso0rrPlace FC 26 General DiscussionFC 26 General DiscussionSeasoned Veteran6Views0likes0CommentsCross-play and cheaters — is there a solution in FC 26?
Hi, I wanted to ask how the issue of cheaters will be handled in FC 26. FC 25 has always been full of cheating PC players, and there's no effective way to report them in-game. Because of this, cross-play—rather than being a useful feature that helps speed up matchmaking—has become a burden due to the cheaters. How will this be solved? Or will cross-play be removed entirely because of this issue?Manso0rrPlace FC 26 General DiscussionFC 26 General DiscussionSeasoned Veteran34Views1like2CommentsFC 26 Reveal Trailer is out!

Hello Currently, during interviews with the manager or player, only subtitles are shown. It would be amazing if characters actually spoke their lines with real voice acting, similar to other modern sports or role-playing games. This feature would greatly improve immersion and realism in Career Mode.9999991111112Place FC 26 General DiscussionFC 26 General DiscussionSeasoned Newcomer3Views0likes0CommentsWill I get early bird ICON if u by EA Play Pro day before early access
Hi, will i get early birds rewards in ea fc 26 if i buy ea play pro day before the early access ? Or do I need to subscribe it before august 26 ?HaseczekkPlace FC 26 General DiscussionFC 26 General DiscussionSeasoned Newcomer49Views0likes4CommentsDo EA Play Pro subscribers get Ultimate early pre-order bonuses?
Hi everyone, I have an active EA Play Pro annual subscription (already paid until September 2025), and I’m planning to play EA SPORTS FC 26 through this subscription. I know that EA Play Pro gives access to the Ultimate Edition with all its standard bonuses (early access, FC Points, Season 1 Pass, etc.), but I wanted to ask specifically about the pre-order early bird content: FC 25 EVO (99 shooting) 93+ ICON Player Pick from FC 25 Untradeable ICON in FC 26 (that upgrades later) These bonuses are mentioned on the website as being available only if you pre-order the Ultimate Edition before August 26. So my question is: Will I also get those early pre-order bonuses just by having EA Play Pro active before August 26? Or do I have to manually pre-order the Ultimate Edition even if I already have Play Pro? It would really help to clarify this before the deadline so I can plan accordingly. Thanks a lot! Any official response or confirmation would be greatly appreciated.Tonito180Place FC 26 General DiscussionFC 26 General DiscussionSeasoned Newcomer141Views4likes1CommentCzech league and czech comentators
It would be good to make a Czech league and add Czech commentators. There are a lot of Czech YouTubers and EA FC players. What would they want? The Czech league has potential players and a lot of people would like to see them, for example in their careers.7Views1like0CommentsGame sharing FC 26

Its getting annoying now that its futties time and we all start to grind and put all of our fodder into SBCs since most of the SBcs are becoming repeatable. I get a soft ban atleast twice a day now that I am grinding alot in the futties promo and I'm not even using any mods or hacks. Please EA at least make a different system instead of stopping us from grinding for doing nothing wrong but playing the game.2Views0likes0Comments
