FC 26 December Feedback Update

Welcome to the FC 26 December Feedback Update.

Today we’re sharing several changes coming in an early January update, based on your feedback.

Let’s kick things off with Game Designer Rory, who will walk through an upcoming change to AI Defending in the following video.

AI Defending

As we mentioned at the end of November, we’re continuing to run our own investigations and tests while reviewing all of your feedback.

In the next update, AI defenders will have slower reaction times when marking the ball carrier, which can result in them leaving more space open while transitioning between actions.

Before and after

New Releases Hub in Ultimate Team

We’ll be adding a New Releases hub in Ultimate Team that highlights new SBCs, Objectives, and more.

We’ll share more details closer to release.
See below for a sneak peak!

 

Squad Battles CPU AI

We’ve heard your feedback about the Squad Battles CPU AI becoming too difficult and frustrating to play against, especially on higher difficulties, due to its focus on maintaining possession.

With the next update, the Squad Battles CPU AI will now focus more on moving the ball up the pitch while creating chances quicker.

Career Mode Player Potential Indicator

In the last update, the UI added a new status indicator for a player’s willingness to renegotiate a contract, but it replaced the player potential indicator.

We’ll be bringing back the player potential indicator in an early January update based on your feedback, and the UI will display both indicators.

Thanks for checking out our December Feedback Update and for continuing to share your thoughts with us. Want to share your thoughts on these updates? Head to https://go.ea.com/fc26pfp

    HiEA_Vendcera​ 

    I am Emircan, writing from Türkiye. I would like to say that I really enjoy EA FC 26 this year — the gameplay feels very realistic. I sincerely thank you and the entire team for your efforts.

    I have been a passionate player of the FIFA series since FIFA 99, and in recent years I have purchased and played all EA FC titles. Additionally, this year I am voluntarily contributing to the EA FC Data Collective program.

    I would like to kindly ask for your support and guidance regarding an issue I have been experiencing. EA FC 26 has been released for over four months now, and most professional football leagues are already halfway through the season. However, for the Turkish Süper Lig, Göztepe’s current-season kits have still not been added to the game. At the moment, the game still includes their old kits from EA FC 25.

    I have opened multiple threads on the EA Forum, submitted feedback reports, and sent emails regarding this issue. I have tried to reach everyone and every platform that might be related to EA Sports, but unfortunately the issue has not yet been resolved.

    As a long-time EA FC enthusiast, I have not been able to start a Career Mode this year with my favorite team, even though the season is already halfway completed. I kindly ask you to please forward my feedback to the relevant team. I am genuinely eager to play EA FC 26 Career Mode with Göztepe using their current-season kits.

    We would greatly appreciate your support in helping ensure that Göztepe’s new season kits are added to the game as soon as possible via a title update. There are hundreds of players in Türkiye who are waiting for this update.

    Best regards,

    Emircan
