“Brave attempt” bug
I have just started playing the UT mode in FC 26. Under the "Brave Attempt" objective, I have completed 3 out of the 4 required tasks; specifically, the "Complete Basic Evolution" task has been fulfilled twice exactly as required. However, this specific task remains stuck in an "incomplete" state. This prevents me—as a new player—from unlocking the "Transfer Market," which is severely undermining my desire to continue playing the game. Please fix this bug as soon as possible.6Views0likes1CommentUnable to Connect to Ultimate Team
I have been experiencing issues connecting to UT for more than 24 hours... I was playing a UT match and after it ended, I was unable to load back to the UT title screen, so I decided to restart the game. Upon restarting, opening the game feels a lot slower than usual, loads for what feels like 5 minutes and then tells me "connecting to ultimate team is not possible at the moment. You will now be returned to the Main Menu." I have restarted my router, PS5, deleted and reinstalled the game to no avail. What to do what to do...2Views0likes0CommentsFC26 - Transfer Market Ban For Just Trading With Cards
Hello Guys, Totally new to this forum. A few days back my FC 26 Transfer Market got banned for “coin distribution,” but I honestly haven’t done anything wrong. I only traded cards and consumables through the Transfer Market like normal trading. I already appealed several times, but I keep getting the same response and it feels automated. I know I didn’t buy, sell, or transfer coins. Is there any other way to request a proper manual review of my account by a real person? If anyone has gone through this before or has any advice, your help would be greatly appreciated. Shafy84Views0likes7CommentsFC 26 Feedback Update
Welcome to our latest Feedback Update where we want to discuss the Bruiser Playstyle. This has been a popular item of feedback so we’ve taken a close look and in an upcoming update will be bringing the following changes. Bruiser vs Attributes Previously, shoulder challenges heavily favoured the tackler when using Bruiser. With this update: We’ve slightly reduced the boost from Bruiser and Bruiser+ Added a matching boost for dribblers with Enforcer or Enforcer+ This creates a more even, head-to-head interaction rather than one-sided outcomes Shoulder Challenge Outcomes We’ve improved how players react after contact: Stronger tacklers can still knock weaker players off balance at wider angles Weaker tacklers will no longer overpower stronger dribblers This means better chances to recover possession if you’re the stronger player Challenges From Behind We’ve improved detection for situations where a shoulder challenge might hit from behind: The system now predicts player movement slightly ahead If it detects back contact, the challenge is cancelled This reduces frustrating or unfair tackles, though we’ll keep monitoring this space. Visual Addressed cases where the Bruiser+ icon appeared even when it wasn’t actually impacting the play This should help reduce confusion around when the Playstyle is active Thanks for checking out our latest Feedback Update We look forward to sharing the full details of our upcoming update soon.308Views1like2CommentsFC Season Objectives Still Freezing the Game
Every time I open “FC Season Objectives” in Ultimate Team, the game freezes completely. I cannot back out, the menu never loads properly, and I have to restart the entire game every single time. The fact that this has been happening for such a long time without a fix is honestly embarrassing for a game of this size7Views0likes0CommentsFC26 Crashing On Launch
For the past month and a half, 90% of the time when I attempt to launch FC 26 I will get the mini window that "Launching EA Anti-Cheat" and then I will be sent back to the EA window. Other times it will open the game, and the second I click on the screen it will crash. The other 10% of the time the game will launch and run fine but it may take more than 10 attempts for the game to fully launch, or sometimes it wont launch at all. I have a decently high end gaming computer with a Ryzen 7 5800x, 3080 ti, and 32 GB of RAM and this was never an issue prior to the first time it happened. As of recently there have been multiple occurrences where I've attempted to play with a friend and the game would simply refuse to launch. I pre-ordered this game within the ultimate edition and have recently not been able to play one of my favorite games. Please help me find a solution for this extremely persistent and annoying issue I am facing.3.6KViews6likes71CommentsOne Final Honest Opinion
I truly hope this is the last post I ever make on this forum. I also hope my thoughts are clear enough to reach people who are in the same situation as me. This year alone I played around 1000 hours of Ultimate Team. I’ve been playing this franchise since FIFA 06, so over the years I’ve invested a huge amount of time, energy, and money into these games. And honestly? This year’s game is truly awful. At the beginning of this month I also received a transfer market ban, despite never doing anything illegal. I never bought coins, never used third-party websites, never cheated. I simply traded intelligently on the market while playing only on console. Treating customers this way is unacceptable, especially after they invest hundreds or thousands of hours into your game. So here’s my final honest opinion on the current state of EA FC: 1. Gameplay Changes Constantly The most exhausting thing about this game is that it never feels stable. One day your players move perfectly, the next day they feel completely broken. Same tactics, same team, same connection—totally different gameplay. 2. The Game Feels Random I’m not even saying “script” or DDA anymore. But what exactly are players supposed to call it when: 50-meter passes work perfectly, simple 3-meter passes fail constantly, rebounds always fall to the opponent, and goals happen over and over in the final minutes? 3. AI Is Completely Broken Your defenders stand still watching attackers score, while your opponent’s AI presses like prime Barcelona. Midfielders don’t track runs properly. Fullbacks abandon their positions. Attackers hide behind defenders instead of attacking space. It genuinely feels like you’re fighting your own AI more than your opponent. 4. Animations Override Inputs Sometimes it honestly feels like your commands don’t matter. I have clips saved where: I aimed a simple pass backward, and my player randomly performed a skill animation instead, creating a perfect assist completely different from my input. Another time I tried passing right in the 90th minute, and somehow the ball magically went left to a completely free player who scored. Moments like these don’t feel rewarding—they feel manipulated. 5. You Can Predict Matches Within Seconds After playing thousands of matches, you can almost tell instantly whether the game will let you compete. Sometimes opponents with average pace players move like they have rockets attached to their feet from kickoff. Meanwhile your own players feel heavy and delayed for no reason. 6. Servers Are Unacceptable For a company this large, server quality is embarrassing. Delayed gameplay Random disconnects Lag spikes Heavy gameplay during peak hours And somehow this has been happening for years. 7. Goalkeepers Make No Sense Goalkeepers are either gods or completely useless. Weak shots go through them. Impossible shots get saved. There’s zero consistency. 8. Meta Players Matter More Than Football Knowledge It no longer feels like football IQ matters. What matters is: abusing mechanics, using meta players, triggering broken animations, and copying tactics from content creators. 9. Content Creators Have Too Much Influence The game increasingly feels designed for: pack openings, social media clips, skill spam, and “crazy comeback” moments. Not actual football. 10. The Market Feels Unsafe I got transfer banned despite never cheating. Meanwhile: bots still exist, coin sellers still exist, match exploiters still exist, and actual cheaters continue playing normally. Legitimate players are the ones getting punished. 11. Support Is Almost Nonexistent Ban appeals feel automated. You receive generic responses. No real discussion. No way to provide evidence. No transparency. Even contacting support feels impossible now. 12. The Game Pushes Addiction More Than Enjoyment Objectives. Season passes. FC Points. Limited-time promos. Constant grinding. At some point you realize you’re no longer playing because you enjoy football—you’re playing because the game manipulates engagement extremely well. 13. Offline Modes Feel Empty Career Mode barely evolves. AI gameplay feels artificial. Offline football has almost no soul anymore. 14. Patches Usually Make Things Worse Every update creates new problems instead of fixing existing ones. Players spend months adapting to gameplay, only for EA to completely change mechanics again. 15. The Community Gives Feedback Constantly — and Gets Ignored People on these forums genuinely care about football and the franchise. But most major gameplay complaints are ignored year after year while the focus remains on: promos, packs, store content, and monetization. 16. Competitive Integrity Barely Exists A competitive game should reward: consistency, tactical thinking, reactions, and improvement. Instead, too many matches feel influenced by hidden systems, strange momentum swings, and gameplay inconsistency. 17. The Skill Gap Feels Artificial Sometimes weaker players feel heavily boosted while experienced players suddenly struggle to complete basic actions. Helping casual players enjoy the game is fine. Artificially manipulating gameplay is not. 18. Defending Feels Punished Good positioning often doesn’t matter because: rebounds return to attackers, tackles bounce back, defenders freeze, or players get dragged out of position by animations. Sometimes it feels like the game actively wants goals to happen. 19. Pack Weight Feels Predatory You can spend huge amounts of coins or money and receive almost nothing valuable in return. Grinding for months just to pack unusable players kills motivation completely. 20. The Game Creates More Anger Than Fun This is probably the saddest part. Games are supposed to help people relax and enjoy themselves. But after playing EA FC, most people feel: frustrated, exhausted, angry, or mentally drained. And that should never be normal for a football game. 21. This No Longer Feels Like a Football Simulator After 20 years of supporting this franchise, I can honestly say this no longer feels like a football game. It feels like a manipulated engagement system built around frustration, randomness, and spending money. And honestly, getting transfer banned might have been the best thing that happened to me, because it finally pushed me away from a game that was draining time, money, and energy without giving enjoyment back. The Only Real Way Players Can Make a Difference As many people have already been discussing across forums, Reddit, social media, and other gaming communities, it honestly feels like the only way anything will ever change is if players stop buying EA products altogether. Year after year people complain about the exact same issues: broken gameplay, inconsistent servers, terrible support, aggressive monetization, and lack of transparency. Yet nothing truly changes because the game continues generating huge amounts of money regardless of community frustration. At this point, many longtime players are starting to realize that feedback alone is no longer enough. The only thing large companies truly notice is when players stop spending money and stop supporting products that no longer respect their community.213Views7likes12CommentsWrong Silver Icon evolution received from season pass
have an issue with my silver icon evolution. i picked midfielder evolution 3 but I got defender evo 3. im doing Gullit in silver evolution and can’t give him the 3rd evolution because of getting the wrong evolution. at this stage of the game he’s not usable unless I can get the right evolution for him. hope this issue can get solved. any others having this issue?8Views0likes0CommentsGlitch in UT
Every time I start a session after a long period of inactivity and try to play a cup — for example the Silver Sterling Cup, which only gives 5 entries per tournament — the first game loads fine, but as soon as it starts, it crashes and gives me a connectivity error, kicking me out of the UT platform. After that, I can play the rest of the games without any issues. The problem is that it still counts one of my entries and penalizes my coin rewards per game, as if I quit on purpose. The first time it happened I thought it was actually my connection, but this has been happening consistently for the past 4–5 days. Has anyone experienced the same issue?11Views0likes0CommentsMissing rewards in UT
I collected all the possible SP in my UT and reached level 30. I was supposed to receive the iconic card of Xabi Alonso along with a pack of 6 players rated 90+, and the Iniesta card (I have the Premium Pass) along with a pack of 5 players rated 90+. However, I only received the two player cards (Iniesta and Xabi Alonso) — the packs never showed up. Has anyone else experienced this issue?6Views0likes0CommentsThe players keep asking for new contracts after I give it to them
So I was doing a career mode and I gave a new contract to Senne Lammens. Then, Senne said "We were going to talk about my contract situation, weren't we? I've heard nothing from you. I'm not happy about that." Which makes no sense as I just gave him a new contract. As the images show, I can't negotiate with him as I gave him a new contract already. This same problem happened in the same career mode, but I have no proof of that one.8Views0likes0CommentsCan I pack something.
