Fix what matters
This post regards single player, manager career, kickoff, and tournament play on XBOX XS.
Well done EA! I did not think it was even remotely possible, but you’ve managed to produce a worse product than FC25. It’s shocking, but you did it. 25 was an absolutely horrible experience from start to finish and so much was promised for 26 but you’ve delivered nothing good. NOTHING. This game is broken in so many ways it’s simply embarrassing and it just keeps getting worse. To be fair, it was playable upon release. We had no fouls, player contract issues in CM, users not getting any of their pre-order stuff, etc. but gameplay was acceptable. Where we are now, is back to pretty much FC25 gameplay. Defending just simply doesn’t function. Passing horrible. Headers dysfunctional. CPU players win all arial duals and 50/50s. Defending corners is laughable. User controlled players are slower and less agile and aggressive than CPU players 100% of the time. User players can’t out pace cpu players in any situation ever. And yes, we still have ZERO fouls. Absolutely absurd! You CANNOT have a football match either no fouling. It is absolutely ridiculous. I play NHL as well, and NHL 26 has no penalties. It’s super weird, that EA has decided to remove fouls and penalties from their sports simulations this year but it makes both games pretty well useless. EA, developers, testers, whoever needs this stamped on a priority work order and given to you, make FOULING the number one thing you sort out before you destroy anything else. I do not understand using so much time to ruin the game more than it already was, when you should be fixing fouling and cpu build up. 2 things that drastically impact the gameplay, are broken, and haven’t been touched since release.
