FC 26 Feedback Update

Welcome to our latest Feedback Update where we want to discuss the Bruiser Playstyle. This has been a popular item of feedback so we’ve taken a close look and in an upcoming update will be bringing the following changes. Bruiser vs Attributes Previously, shoulder challenges heavily favoured the tackler when using Bruiser. With this update:

• We’ve slightly reduced the boost from Bruiser and Bruiser+
• Added a matching boost for dribblers with Enforcer or Enforcer+

This creates a more even, head-to-head interaction rather than one-sided outcomes Shoulder Challenge Outcomes We’ve improved how players react after contact:

• Stronger tacklers can still knock weaker players off balance at wider angles
• Weaker tacklers will no longer overpower stronger dribblers

This means better chances to recover possession if you’re the stronger player Challenges From Behind We’ve improved detection for situations where a shoulder challenge might hit from behind:

• The system now predicts player movement slightly ahead
• If it detects back contact, the challenge is cancelled

This reduces frustrating or unfair tackles, though we’ll keep monitoring this space. Visual

• Addressed cases where the Bruiser+ icon appeared even when it wasn’t actually impacting the play

This should help reduce confusion around when the Playstyle is active Thanks for checking out our latest Feedback Update

We look forward to sharing the full details of our upcoming update soon.
