Legendary in EA FC26 is way too easy

idk what EA did with the AI this year but Legendary just isn’t it. I’ve been playing Career Mode  and I’m bored already. I’m smashing teams that should be destroying me. like I’m playing with Brighton and beating PSG 4–0 on Legendary. that should not be happening.

the AI feels like it forgot how to play football. they barely press, don’t track runs properly, and defenders just back off until I’m literally inside the box before they even move. midfielders don’t close space, the attackers never make smart runs, and the whole thing just feels like I’m playing against training dummies. it’s not even satisfying to win anymore because it doesn’t feel earned.

older FIFAs at least made you sweat a bit. you had to plan your build-up, defend properly, and take your chances. in FC26 it’s like if you know how to time a few through balls or use pace down the wing, you win. every. single. time. the AI doesn’t adjust, doesn’t switch tactics, doesn’t press late in games — nothing.

and I’ve seen tons of people online saying the same thing. dudes beating Real Madrid 5–0 with Betis, going unbeaten whole seasons on Legendary, or winning the Champions League in year one with some random League 1 team. like come on. this is supposed to be the second hardest setting in the game and it feels like world class but lazier.

let them press properly, use tactical fouls, actually switch up their attack and defend like real players would. I want to feel pressure when I’m leading 1–0 in the 80th minute, not casually passing around their defense like it’s kickoff mode.

and the worst part is the lack of intensity. when you score a couple goals, the AI basically gives up. they just start passing sideways and never push. it’s like they don’t even care. Legendary should be about being tested mentally and tactically, not seeing how many goals I can score before halftime.

so yeah, EA really needs to up the difficulty for Legendary. make it feel like a real challenge again. keep it fair, but make me work for the win. I want those sweaty 2–1 victories where I’m holding on for dear life, not 6–0 walkovers every game.

TL;DR: Legendary in FC26 is way too easy, the AI doesn’t press or adapt, and winning feels effortless. EA needs to actually make Legendary legendary again.
