FC26 career mode is far too easy.. playing on ultimate with Everton and have gone unbeaten for the first half of the season. Tried competitive and authentic but neither put forward any sort of a challenge. 5 goals conceded and 50+ scored.. please can you fix it. I’ve always exclusively bought FC for career mode and this is ruining the game for me!
This is to both of you. I initially had the same problem. Even on Ultimate (I only play manager career) it is way too easy to defend the CPU, and honestly, they weren’t even attacking my goal. EA patched this, somewhat, and I’ve certainly noticed an uptick in CPU attacking aggression. So, if you pick “Custom” gameplay type with Player Based Difficulty ON, Weather Effects/Wind ON, Authentic Whatever it is ON, and tweak the CPU sliders to your liking, you should be able to create a more competitive gameplay. I’m using Leeds, and won all my preseason matches by way too much. I started my PL season after the update and after tweaking settings. I’m 7-2-0. Sure, I have not lost a match, but for the first time in probably like 10-15 years, I drew a couple matches in my league. That never happens to me. I’m winning my matches by 1 or 2 goals, not 7. I barely, barely beat Liverpool in the Carabao Cup with a last second winner. It was pretty cool! To be fair, it is far from perfect, but I have managed to create a more challenging game. Unfortunately, since there are literally ZERO fouls on either side, I’m still not getting the full experience. And the fouling cannot be adjusted. It’s simply gone. I hope this helps you guys!
Thank you! This did help.. the only change I made is putting it on competitive as opposed to authentic- found the opposition a bit better on the attacking front. Has brought some sort of enjoyment back into the game for me!
It’s definitely an improvement versus the previous set up however still found myself more challenged in FC25..
Thanks so much again!
