FC26 career mode is far too easy.. playing on ultimate with Everton and have gone unbeaten for the first half of the season. Tried competitive and authentic but neither put forward any sort of a challenge. 5 goals conceded and 50+ scored.. please can you fix it. I’ve always exclusively bought FC for career mode and this is ruining the game for me!
Same issue here mate unbearably easy on legend and ultimate to the point I won't be playing until it's fixed, the most important part of career is the CPU and realism. And with the difficulty as it is, it's unplayable.
This is to both of you. I initially had the same problem. Even on Ultimate (I only play manager career) it is way too easy to defend the CPU, and honestly, they weren’t even attacking my goal. EA patched this, somewhat, and I’ve certainly noticed an uptick in CPU attacking aggression. So, if you pick “Custom” gameplay type with Player Based Difficulty ON, Weather Effects/Wind ON, Authentic Whatever it is ON, and tweak the CPU sliders to your liking, you should be able to create a more competitive gameplay. I’m using Leeds, and won all my preseason matches by way too much. I started my PL season after the update and after tweaking settings. I’m 7-2-0. Sure, I have not lost a match, but for the first time in probably like 10-15 years, I drew a couple matches in my league. That never happens to me. I’m winning my matches by 1 or 2 goals, not 7. I barely, barely beat Liverpool in the Carabao Cup with a last second winner. It was pretty cool! To be fair, it is far from perfect, but I have managed to create a more challenging game. Unfortunately, since there are literally ZERO fouls on either side, I’m still not getting the full experience. And the fouling cannot be adjusted. It’s simply gone. I hope this helps you guys!
I'd say that's just the result of having Skilliman Ndiaye and Super Jack in your team 😄 But I do agree with you. UTFT 💙
The computer is way too timid compared to previous games. they don't make an effort.
Thank you! This did help.. the only change I made is putting it on competitive as opposed to authentic- found the opposition a bit better on the attacking front. Has brought some sort of enjoyment back into the game for me!
It’s definitely an improvement versus the previous set up however still found myself more challenged in FC25..
Thanks so much again!
Yeah it’s really disappointing.. if it’s any help the suggestion below does make things a bit more competitive. Early days though so will keep monitoring things
I’m the same. Play it for career mode & with my son & it’s a joke. Usually find Ultimate difficult & now I’ve just beaten West Ham 8-1 with Leeds despite being on authentic. Scored 40 goals in 9 games
Same here. I have the ai sliders on max and I just beat Arsenal away with bristol. I haven’t lost a single game and the computer hasn’t made a single foul. It’s not playable. EA please fix this
another career mode which is tragic with cambrige I got everything in ultimate. You don't have fun nor are you pressured to win. As long as there is no competition it will get worse and worse. I've been buying it for the last few years
Same opinion here.
Career Mode on Legendary or Ultimate difficulty is just too easy. The AI feels completely harmless when attacking — even after making big mistakes, it rarely punishes you. I’ve tried tweaking the sliders, but nothing seems to fix it. Meanwhile, in Ultimate Team’s Squad Battles, the CPU on Ultimate difficulty plays with incredible intensity — something completely missing in Career Mode. I mainly play Career Mode, but this year there’s no real challenge. The fix seems obvious, and it needs to happen ASAP!
