FC 26 Clubs Serious Suggestions

As someone who plays clubs more than any other game mode, there are a lot of things I want addressed or fixed in this game to improve the experience for everyone.

  1. Let us re-allocate our ability points whenever we want and for free. Paying to re-allocate is just a terrible concept. Give us the flexibility to try new builds and test new stats without spending hard earned coined and re-allocating ALL 1269 points... Makes no sense especially given that we have to level up every archetype individually. There is just no flexibility and makes it very unenjoyable.
  2. AI players ignore all calls for the ball from goal kicks and throw-ins or other set pieces. There are too many instances calling for the ball in a good position just for the keeper to launch it to the striker who has not called for the ball. Makes no sense at all. Clearly a bug. 
  3. Specifically calling for a cross/lob pass seems to confuse the AI. They take an extra 4-6 steps before attempting to play the ball leading to loss of possession almost certainly. Why is there such a delay for this pass type? It is clearly a bug. 
  4. Calling for the ball is so delayed. It is impossible to do tiki-taka style football with the AI, as they like to take an extra 3-4 steps before playing the ball and the option to pass is now closed. They also linger to your request for the ball for too long. Example: player A has the ball (AI), you call for the ball, he passes to player B (also AI) and then player B attempts to pass you the ball now (too late). Directly caused by the delay from your call for the ball to their pass.

Points 2, 3 and 4 I have no idea how they are in the game. It's like no one at EA even play tested this game mode for 5 minutes.

Point 1 is just a design choice, and a shocking one at that. Pro clubs is about customization and flexibility. Removing the latter by putting a cost on re-allocating EARNED stats makes no sense. Let us pick and choose our stats, since you already make us BUY all new archetypes. 

Thanks!

    Good players never call for the ball, you're supposed to use R1/RB x2 it makes the ai change its mindset from waiting for a call to making a good decision. Calling for the ball results in a 90% loss of possession.

    Can you share more info on this R1 mindset button? I can see no mention of it when in possession. If you don’t call for the ball the AI typically keep running sideways until they get tackled. Happy to share clips if it doesn’t make sense

    #1 is absolutely RIDICULOUS. It takes ages just to level up ONE position. And the fact that you cannot change attribute points that you earned is also a TERRIBLE idea. Who at EA thought this was going to attract more players to Clubs ?  

  • Just made a post talking about the same as regards to AI not passing the ball. It was bad last year and worse now.
