Lets be honest. EA are getting lazy now. Sure, some of FC26 has potential, but while there is no competition on the shelves from other soccer titles, they will continue to release this title which has more bugs in it than roadkill. Every year its the same: Patch after patch. I understand that not every game is perfect and I get maybe an animation or clipping glitch that can be missed in testing but NO TACKLING!- seriously. Who tests this game? Let me guess, Madden enthusiasts or NBAers, because I don't see as much of a hashed game engine when playing the American Sports game. Imagine the day when EA releases Madden and the Quarterback no longer throws the ball- could you imagine the uproar? I can also bet that it would be fixed pretty quickly.
What I am getting at, is that tackling is a part of football. I shake my head in disbelief when I play the game with AI players putting their left leg in and their right leg out. Dancing around you like your the best looking girl at the party but with the guys frightened to make a move. I would be happy to eat a horse-**bleep** sandwich if I saw on YouTube, Reddit or any other platform, that five minutes of a proper football match had NO fouls and NO freekicks. Unless your 70 years of age and your playing walking football.
A month into its release and still no fouls, freekicks or penalties in game. Ironically, set pieces seem to be more important to teams now than ever- especially in the Premier League were set-piece coaches are a star attraction on the coaching staff.
But, while me, you and many thousands, maybe millions of others flock to the only soccer game on the market (PES- in know), to show our faith and trust in a game that rakes pounds and dollars in profit, EA will continue to do things their way. They know we will be back next year, with the usual sell of "New Engine- New Physics- Most realistic experience ever on the pitch", we will be back, and go through this all over again.
EA also needs to understand, that what THEY portray as football- IS NOT FOOTBALL. Just their definition of it. And official leagues back this game? Some have to save to purchase this game every season. PS5 games are not cheap. We just want what we pay for.
And that is called FOOTBALL!!!!!!
