Comprehensive Feedback for FC 26 and Future Improvements for FC 27

I have been a dedicated fan of this franchise since the very first FIFA, and I’ve continued that loyalty through the transition to EA Sports FC. While I truly enjoy the gameplay of EA Sports FC 26, there are several critical tweaks and additions I believe would significantly enhance the experience for the community. Here are my suggestions for the current cycle and the development of FC 27:

Flexibility in Manager Career Pre-Season Currently, the pre-season tournament feels restrictive. I recommend giving players the choice to either participate in these tournaments or manually schedule a series of four friendlies against specific clubs. This would allow for more realistic preparation and let players test their squads against specific tactical styles before the season begins.

Reevaluating Rush vs. Volta Football In my view, the "Rush" mode doesn't capture the essence of football as effectively as previous iterations. I strongly advocate for the return of Volta Football. The global tour, the ability to play on diverse urban surfaces, and the sheer variety of the "Volta Arcade" challenges provided a unique, high-energy alternative to the 11v11 game. Bringing back player-vs-player mini-games would restore a much-needed "fun factor" to the menus.

Expanding the Scottish Football Pyramid To improve geographic representation, I urge you to include the Scottish Championship, League One, and League Two. There is a massive, underserved fanbase in Scotland that feels overlooked. The current focus remains heavily skewed toward the English tiers; adding the full Scottish SPFL structure would provide a much more inclusive and rewarding experience for those of us who don't support English clubs.

Integration of the Scottish Women’s Premier League (SWPL). With the successful integration of the WSL and other top-flight women's leagues, it is the perfect time to introduce the Scottish Women's Premier League. Representation matters, and including the SWPL would align the game with the growing global stature of women’s football.

Authentic Scottish Atmosphere (Stadiums) Immersion is key to the FC experience. I would love to see more authentic Scottish grounds beyond the usual suspects. Adding iconic venues like Hampden Park (the National Stadium), Pittodrie, and Easter Road would make playing in the Scottish leagues feel truly lived-in and prestigious.

EA Sports FC, you have a community of millions who are deeply invested in this game. I hope you take this feedback on board and prove that you are listening to your fans' desires for more variety and better representation.
