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

We hope you have a great end to 2025, and please keep your feedback coming here and over in our Official Discord Server: https://discord.gg/easportsfc

    How about you act on the feedback that we have been giving you for months about the game breaking when you move players to different clubs on club transfers?

    OR EVEN

    How about you feed back to us if you are bothering to look at it or not. 

  • Fix the difficultly for crying out loud, Ultimate difficulty does not work; there's no fouls,  aggression or urgency from the CPU in from a defensive and offensive standpoint, I've tried everything at nothing works, the sliders are useless.

    I've said it since the BETA that the CPU was too passive, as well as other people in the community, and you still haven't addressed.

    Guys,

    why, in the hell, did you make the gameplay so boring.

    It was so amazing in November and December.

    i am playing competitive gameplay,

    I play FIFA since Fifa 98, so i would say, i am not the worst player on this planet.

    I played on World class against CPU, all sliders on default, no mods installed,

    my game experience is like this: the CPU has always ball possession of around 70 %, 

    he gets the ball without any effort, when i try to dribble, then, when he has the ball, he plays only in his own half,

    only focus on possession, in most matches, CPU creates maximum ONE chance, sometimes even zero, the rest of the match, he makes endless pass combos, he doesn't even try to create chances.

    and you suffer to get the ball. The problem is, he does not only play with Bayern or City like this, but also with much weaker teams.

    So when i play with Bayern against St. Pauli (CPU), it feels like if St. Pauli and Bayern just only changed kits.

    But like this:

    There is 

    NO FUN TO PLAY
    NO CREATIVITY
    NO MAGIC MOMENTS
    ONLY BORING CPU TIKI TAKA, with every team.

    if it stays like this, i would rather play FIFA 11 like this.

    Fortunately, there are games which much better gameplay, so if EA doesn't care,

    they will unfortunately lose much money, because my friends and me won't buy their games anymore.

    And then:

    Players feel like clumsy elephants, no reaction, no responsivity,

    and even with modifiying sliders, you don't feel much difference

     

  • Это определённо последний раз, когда я это покупала! Я устал перехитрить игру. Я хочу соревноваться с соперником, но в этой игре это уже невозможно. Я не понимаю. Вы выпускаете наборы игроков. Для кого ты это делаешь? Я просто не могу собрать 4 отряда с рейтингами 85, 86, 87, 88, чтобы получить плохую карту. Раз в три недели я получаю карту в колоде с максимальным рейтингом 89. Каждая пачка, которую я открываю, 10x83, самая высокая карта имеет максимальный рейтинг 85!! Я уже открыл десятки таких. То же самое касается и наград. Почему я должен играть и получать награды? Увидеть Модрича по три стаи подряд? Но больше всего меня беспокоит «моя связь», «мой интернет-провайдер». Честно, ты слышал о ней? Я так не думаю. Вы продолжаете использовать прокси (Akamai) между игроком и сервером. Я устал перехитрить игру. Так в чём же смысл соревнования между игроками? Я не понимаю, это глупость! Оставьте игру с ИИ. ...
