Fifa 26

This game has been in decline for years, and it’s frustrating for long-time players. Here are some key issues that need fixing:

1. Defensive System: The defending mechanics are broken. In the past, you could press a button (like Circle) and reliably win the ball. Now, it feels like you have no control. Defenders barely challenge, and it’s too easy for attackers to get through.
2. Through Balls and Defensive Positioning: Long passes behind the defense are overpowered. Defenders often just stand there like statues and don’t react properly or track the attackers. It completely ruins the balance of the game.
3. Game Management Exploits: Players can score two quick goals in the first 10 minutes and then just hold possession for the rest of the match. It’s infuriating. In older versions, you could press with your entire team and apply pressure. Now, that option is basically gone, and it makes the gameplay feel passive and one-sided.
4. Tactics and Team Pressing: There should be a dedicated team pressing option in the tactics menu—something that makes your whole team press aggressively, like in the older FIFA games from the early 2000s. Not everyone wants to play the modern, possession-based style. Give us tactical variety.
5. General Game Design and Testing: It honestly feels like the developers aren’t playing their own game. While there have been some efforts to improve the tactical system, there are too many bugs and poor design choices. I’ve been playing since FIFA 2003, and the quality has noticeably dropped over the last 7–8 years.
