fix ballon dor in fc 26
Hi EA team,
I’ve been playing Player Career Mode in FC 26 and just had the season of a lifetime:
- Club: Borussia Dortmund
- Season stats: 91 goals scored across all competitions
- Trophies: Won the treble (league, domestic cup, Champions League)
- Player OVR: 79
Despite this, my player was not even seriously considered for the Ballon d’Or. Instead, it went to a 90+ rated AI player with much lower stats and fewer trophies.
This feels really unfair and takes away from the immersion of Career Mode. In real football, a season like this would guarantee a Ballon d’Or. The award system seems to prioritize overall rating far more than actual performances and achievements.
Suggested improvements:
- Make goals, assists, and trophies weigh more heavily than OVR in the Ballon d’Or algorithm.
- Allow lower-rated players who massively outperform top stars to actually win.
- Improve transparency so we know what matters most for awards.
Career Mode is at its best when it feels authentic and rewarding. Right now, the Ballon d’Or logic doesn’t reflect that. Please consider adjusting it in a future patch/update.
Thanks for reading and for continuing to improve the game.
