Passing, Through Balls and Ball Control Feel Broken in FC 26

I would like to report serious gameplay issues in EA FC 26 that significantly affect the overall football experience.

The biggest problem is passing and through balls. Very often passes do not go in the intended direction, even when there is a clear passing lane and the input is correct. Through balls are especially inconsistent, frequently targeting the wrong player or using incorrect power and trajectory.

Ball reception and first touches also feel extremely clumsy and unnatural. I use only the left stick to control the receiving player, yet many touches result in awkward animations, delayed reactions, or unnecessary loss of possession. It often feels like player responsiveness is being overridden by predetermined animations rather than user input.

These issues make build-up play frustrating and reduce the skill gap, as successful actions often seem disconnected from the controls provided by the player.

In addition, I am disappointed with the pack opening experience. Despite investing significant time and resources, the rewards feel increasingly unrewarding and disconnected from the effort required.

Unfortunately, FC 26 may be the last EA FC title I purchase. The current gameplay problems combined with my dissatisfaction regarding pack rewards are making me seriously consider quitting the game earlier than expected this year.

I hope the development team reviews these issues and prioritizes gameplay responsiveness, passing accuracy, and ball control in future updates.
