Player Career Mode AI Needs Immediate Attention

Dear EA SPORTS FC Development Team,

I have been a loyal player of EA football games for many years, but Player Career Mode in FC 26 has been one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve had.

The AI in this mode is extremely unbalanced. My teammates constantly lose possession, struggle to complete simple passes, and fail to play as a team, while the opponent’s AI dominates possession, presses intelligently, and controls almost every match. It is common to finish games with only 25–35% possession, even against weaker teams.

The difference between Player Career and Manager Career is obvious. In Manager Career, both teams behave realistically. In Player Career, it feels like my teammates are intentionally much weaker than the opposition.

This issue has been reported by many players, yet it still exists. It seriously damages the experience and makes Player Career far less enjoyable than it should be.

Unless this issue is properly addressed, I see no reason to purchase FC 27. In fact, with several competing football games expected around the same period, many players—including myself—will naturally consider alternatives that offer a better overall experience and value.

I hope this feedback is taken seriously.

Regards,

    could not agree more, it’s so random. Struggling to get over 30% possession myself played all year but the last couple of weeks I can’t seem to make a pass or control the football and the opposition knock it around first time and I can’t get the ball off them.
