Please EA get the Switch 2 version running at 60 fps

EA I love football games and was really excited about getting this for my Switch 2. While I appreciate the effort you have put into the visuals, I like many thought this would have 60fps. Surely if a pS4 , as old as that is can handle it a Switch 2 should be fine.

This feels a very rushed release. I hope you address the elephant in the room and fix /make improvements to the frame rate so Nintendo Switch 2 players get a smoother experience (which they deserve). It shouldn’t be the same frame rate as the original Switch.

Nintendo players are desperate for this. I like many will be looking with great interest to see if you get this ironed out before purchasing.

thanks for listening

authentic gameplay

Hey ForestJN86 the team have discussed the Switch 2 version here: https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-fc/fc-26/news/pitch-notes-fc26-switch-2-deep-dive

Additional Platform Details

Nintendo Switch 2 also includes some visual adjustments to enable consistent performance, including simplified hair rendering, lower-resolution grass and crowd textures, and reduced sideline details.

We are exploring all possible options for further optimizing FC 26 general visual quality on Nintendo Switch 2. We can share more info down the road once it's available, and we’ll continue to closely monitor your feedback in this area

Agreed, I think frame rate is the biggest issue at the moment. I understand graphics will be lower quality than PS5 but that isn't as important to me as a smoother gameplay experience.

I fully agree, we definitely need at least 40 fps for the handheld mode.

Hi EA_Darko

Thanks for sharing, and appreciate the team are working hard to optimise for Switch 2!

100% agree with ForestJN86 - this is the only thing keeping me from purchasing as I'd love to play on the go. Others have suggested maybe there could be room for a lower-res "performance" graphics mode which gives players the option to play at a smoother frame rate (60FPS, or failing that 40FPS on the VRR screen would still be a massive improvement over 30)
