FC 26 = AI for the chosen ones
This game will be remembered as the one that started best but became the worst. They removed skill and added AI to patch the flaws of bad players. They don't care about fixing bugs; they lie in the patch notes saying they’ve nerfed the AI, when every week it just gets 'smarter,' making the gameplay a tedious grind.
The ROI on time and money in FC 26 is zero. EA refuses to implement hardware-level account limits, allowing pros to dominate casual pools (in my opinion, UT should be limited to 2 accounts per console). The DDA (Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment) and script manipulation are blatant.
The AI inconsistency is staggering: opponent defensive AI is perfectly tuned while mine suffers from pathfinding issues and 'heavy' server response. As a Software Engineer, I find this level of intentional system manipulation unethical. If I were tasked with coding these 'handicaps,' I’d resign. For the sake of my mental health and time, I’m opting out.
GG to you guys, the ones EA handpicked to have everything go your way—jammy rebounds, auto-blocking, you name it. I’d love to know the criteria for this. Is it FC Points investment? Proximity to the server? Don't get it twisted, though: you're actually bad. You're just lucky EA does everything in its power to make sure you win.
Goodbye to this broken game.
