Pre game (kit) options & Player appearance
I’d like to share a few ideas that I believe would greatly enhance the customization and authenticity of EA FC 26, especially for Career Mode and offline players.
- Pre-Match Kit Customization:
One feature I miss from the old PES / Winning Eleven days is the ability to mix and match kits — choosing shirts, shorts, and socks separately before each game. This added a layer of realism and helped avoid kit clashes, which would be great to bring into FC 26.
Additionally, being able to select an alternate goalkeeper kit in the pre-match menu would help avoid color clashes that still happen occasionally.
And on that note, it would be incredibly helpful to allow players to choose the referee’s kit color as well — it’s frustrating when the referee wears a color similar to one of the teams on the pitch.
- Deeper Player Appearance Customization:
Customization options for player appearance could use a serious upgrade. Here are a few suggestions that would go a long way in making the experience more personal and realistic:
- More frequent boot updates and a larger, more current boot database
- Sleeve socks as an option (not just tape)
- Lower sock styles like those worn by Grealish, Zirkzee, or Wirtz
- Adjustable short sizes: oversized, standard, or tight fit
- Rolled-up long sleeves (like Rashford often wears)
- Finger tape (a small detail, but iconic for players like Sergio Ramos)
- Different shin pad sizes for added realism
- A boot creator/editor, similar to what NBA 2K offers — this would be a game-changer for personalization
