Finesse shots
Anyone else feel like finesse shots have completely been nerfed I literally don’t even think I’ve scored a goal from outside the box with finesse shot in fc 25 I just miss the feeling of cutting in and just whipping it into the top corner now it just goes wide or over the bar11Views0likes1CommentFeedback on the Integration of Female Players in Ultimate Team
Dear EA FC team, I would like to share some thoughts regarding the current structure of the Ultimate Team mode, specifically the integration of female players. Let me begin by saying that I am not against the presence of women’s football in the game and I believe it’s important that it is represented. However, I feel that the way it has been implemented in Ultimate Team negatively impacts the gameplay experience for many users. On several occasions, I’ve found myself having to choose female players who, despite being less known to the wider audience or objectively less effective than their male counterparts in real life, are significantly stronger in the game. In my opinion, this breaks immersion and balance, forcing choices that don’t reflect real-world football logic. believe a respectful and constructive solution would be to create a separate Ultimate Team mode for women’s football, allowing players to choose which experience they wish to enjoy, without mixing two very different realities. Personally, I have stopped purchasing the game for this very reason, and I will continue to do so unless a solution is found that truly values both sides without forcing anything. Thank you for your attention. I look forward to a constructive discussion with both the community and the team.15Views0likes1Commenthave little confusion between Ea play vs Play PRO

Hi, While playing Drop-In or League Matches, there are cutscenes showing players entering the pitch. Sometimes — though not always — something strange appears: the players look like they have a small belly, or as if they’re 4 months pregnant. We really hope scenes like this won’t be present in FC 26. See the difference for yourself — this is a normal picture.👍 And here are 3 pictures where the belly is clearly visible, as if the player is pregnant.👎Manso0rrPlace FC 26 General DiscussionFC 26 General DiscussionSeasoned Veteran9Views0likes0CommentsFC26 preorder rewards

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 Veteran14Views1like0CommentsWe Strongly Request Turkish Commentary in FC 26
Dear EA Sports FC Team, On behalf of millions of Turkish players who have supported this series for years, we kindly request a long-awaited feature: Turkish commentary in FC 26. This is not just a language setting — it’s about feeling truly connected to the game we love. Experiencing goals, exciting moments, and the atmosphere of football in our native language would make a huge difference. Other languages such as Portuguese, Arabic, Polish, and Japanese have received this support. We believe it is now time for Turkish to be included too. We have the voice talent, the community, and the passion. Please hear us and include Turkish commentary in FC 26. Sincerely, The EA FC Community from TurkeyilkerHekimogluPlace FC 26 General DiscussionFC 26 General DiscussionSeasoned Newcomer48Views1like2CommentsSuggestion: Additional PlayStyle+ Slots for Clubs Mode
We’ve all seen how, in Ultimate Team, players constantly receive more PlayStyle+ slots — starting with 2, then increasing to 3, 4, and even 5 PlayStyle+ abilities over time. Meanwhile, in Clubs Mode, we're still limited to just 2 PlayStyle+ slots — or 3 at most if you're part of a specific club. This definitely needs to be looked into, especially with the growing number of PlayStyles in the game and the continuous addition of new ones. The current number of available slots feels too limited compared to how many PlayStyles exist — such as Low Driven Shot, Low Driven Power Shot, and others. We believe the number of PlayStyle+ slots should be increased, not kept the same. This is simply a reminder and suggestion for the dev team to consider in order to enhance the Clubs experience.Manso0rrPlace FC 26 General DiscussionFC 26 General DiscussionSeasoned Veteran8Views1like0CommentsWill creating an EA account in FC 25 affect FC 26 pre-order bonuses?
I pre-ordered FC 26 Ultimate Edition on a new PSN account with no prior EA games or linked accounts. I plan to buy FC 25 on the same PSN account and create a new EA account in FC 25. Will this affect my FC 26 pre-order bonuses? Can I use the same EA account for FC 26, or do I need a new one?17Views0likes1CommentNational demographics
Hello everyone I will make a suggestion that the demographics of countries populations be better represented in the game. For example, places like Colombia, Ecuador and other South and Central American countries have significant melanated populations. There are also many melanated peoples in Scandinavian countries as well as Middle Eastern and North African countries. More to the point, nearly every country on the planet. These are just examples of things that could be better reflected when scouting in these countries. This is another element that could help make the game more realistic is if everyone in each country can feel represented. I believe that this is an important detail to consider. Also, in international matches, it would be great to see the fans be more reflective of the nations that they represent as well. Please, someone else let me know what you think about this. All the best to everyone!20Views1like3CommentsA year of Rush. A success - With major issues.
So. First of all - As always - A big congratulations to the EA Teams involved with the FC 25 project. A huge year which introduced many QOL elements and new additional features to the ever-growing nature of football. A year of changes. FC 25 felt like a project that was liked by the Developers. That they wanted to improve aspects of gameplay over the year. I felt the communication was better via the social channels. The Fifa/FC Franchise has been in our lives(for alot of us), for a decade, 2 decades. From the early roots of Fifa International Soccer, to Fifa 97. To today's new franchise. FC. A franchise which should absolutely be applauded for having yearly projects flourish. And be the best Football Game there is. Rush A risk - absolutely. When you introduce a new gamemode to the public. It can usually be hit 'n' miss. Rush, with a new set of rules to understand, an arcade experience. Fun. Definitely succeeded in areas. But definitely failed in some. It succeeded in the fun aspect. fast-paced football. It succeeded in bringing together fun, as well as in-game rewards at decent game time. Companies are only really now beginning to think about "Oh. This individual works full-time. How can we make this gamemode rewarding and accessible". We saw this with "Moments". We now see it in Rush. A quick gamemode that rewards players. Even if they don't enter any other Gamemode. Even if players only want to trade - Rush is a gamemode that allows that - Which is great. Commentary - A positive addition. Added relatable commentary which I hope will continue. Football is a universal sport. To hear different commentary, introduce different slang/spanish etc. It just adds something vibrant. Fun. A few things that failed - The Community. Despite the positive gamemode. Much like most gamemodes in FC. Players are motivated for the first few months. Adore the game. The hype is there. Mid-season comes along. Boom. It's almost as if collectively, most of the playerbase have lost interest. Standing still. Quitting matches. Trolling. Abusing the game. Not helping each other. We saw EA come in with a few improvements for Rush. Decreasing the timer to disconnect players. Still - Players will seemingly find ways to try to ruin other player's experiences. It's definitely a "new age" mentality which has affected Games in recent years. We call it the "Social Media Generation". The generation of Gamers who's mentality is based on Social Media. That negative outlook. Years ago, you could play Call of Duty, Fifa, Racing Games. You could be losing heavily. Yet, you'd stay. Finish the match. Finish the race. You'd do this out of respect to the other players. That mentality has unfortunately been lost - There are ways to mitigate this(I'll suggest a few ideas below). What also failed was the different Events throughout the year. I can see what the Devs wanted to implement. However, players were only interested in one thing "Rating". If the Rating was high, players rushed to the event. If the event was based around Defenders with a lower rating, players lost interest. You see this in Clubs(a very low % of players play Defender). Lack of interest. Events could be absolutely more rewarding. Both in what is being rewarded, and also visually. Alot of us felt the Events needed a more visually appealing Modal. It was very uninteresting to see the same Modal being used for each event. Mitigation Ideas From the very first match you play Online. Any in Gamemode. You will start with 0% next to your name. This is your "Forced Disconnect %". Or. "FD". Your FD is calculated by each match you forcefully quit before a match is finished. If you play 1 Online match and quit - Your FD is 100%. This is publicly seen when you enter a Match, and will be connected to your Profile. The idea of FD is to minimise players from forcefully quitting and introduce a stronger mentality for fair gameplay. EA can absolutely add mitigation factors - Such as - If you are losing by more than 4 goals by half time, you can quit, while not gaining any FD %. It is highly probably that should you be losing by 4 goals at half time, you are more likely to lose than win. So your FD would not be effected should you wish to forcefully quit. Very much like Rocket League - Add a 5 minute timer if you have recently forcefully quit a match. There are many reasons someone may forcefully quit, a 5 minute delay to reenter an online match gives that individual the time to adjust, grab a drink, calm down(if they need to lol), and reenter their next match after 5 minutes. Far too often, players will play another online match straight away, be fueled with their online rage, and continue that throughout their session. Giving players a 5 minute break can mitigate this and give players a chance to settle down. In MMO's(not all), they have positive messaging that may say something like "You've been playing awhile. Take a break and come back". I'd like to see this introduced within FC 26, Rush and all Gamemodes. A simple notification modal which reminds the player it's okay to take breaks. This ensures players have a healthy balance and if they're having a bad session(Football is competitive afterall), they can take a break, come back refreshed and hopefully have a better gaming session. Onto FC 26 The introduction of Goalkeepers is a welcome one for Rush. But just like Clubs, it can be taken advantage of by bad actors. And those bad actors often ruin entire matches. It's important that players who play by the rules are rewarded and that players who troll, abuse the system, are punished accordingly. Rush is, by definition. A fantastic Gamemode. A great addition to the FC Franchise. My hope is that the community has a much more positive outlook when playing football and will support each other throughout the whole season. Thanks for listening. Have a great FC 26 Launch 💥⚽⚽⚽8Views0likes0CommentsPro Clubs Boots !
Hi EA team, I’d like to request that Pro Clubs receives regular boot updates like Ultimate Team and Career Mode. Why it matters: Pro Clubs is where many of us spend hundreds of hours each year, building and customizing our Virtual Pros. We care about how our players look on the pitch, and boots are a big part of immersion and personal identity. Seeing FUT and Career Mode get new boots while Pro Clubs stays outdated makes the mode feel ignored, despite the loyal player base. What we ask: ✅ Sync boot updates in Pro Clubs whenever you add new boots to other modes. ✅ Even if done quarterly, it would show Pro Clubs players you value the mode. ✅ If there are licensing issues, a clear communication post would help us understand. Pro Clubs players love this mode. Please give us the same attention to detail in visuals that you give to other modes. It will keep your community engaged and excited to continue playing. Thank you for considering this feedback.11Views1like1CommentTitle: Dynamic AI Behavior Based on Opponent Analysis and Difficulty Level
Suggestion: I suggest improving the CPU’s artificial intelligence by making it analyze the opponent’s playing style and adapt its behavior accordingly. This would make the gameplay feel more realistic and challenging, especially in Career Mode. Currently, CPU difficulty levels mostly affect speed, passing accuracy, and pressure. But I propose that the AI should also change how it reacts based on how the user plays. 🔹 For example: – If the opponent focuses on wing play, the AI should tighten wide areas and press fullbacks. – If the opponent relies on short passes in the middle, the AI should close down the midfield. – If the opponent is weak in aerial duels, the AI should attempt more long balls and crosses. 🔸 This adaptive behavior should scale with difficulty: – Beginner: basic reactions, simple positioning – Legendary: advanced tactical reactions, dynamic formation shifts, targeted pressing 🎯 The goal is to make the CPU feel less scripted and more like a human opponent — reacting, adapting, and trying to counter the user’s strength in real-time. This kind of intelligent AI would greatly improve immersion and competitiveness in both offline and online modes.15Views1like1Comment
