FC 26 Gameplay Is Broken, Boring, and Repetitive

Dear EA Support,

FC 26 has become extremely boring, slow, heavy, and repetitive. After the latest updates, instead of improving the gameplay, you completely ruined it. The game was far more fun and enjoyable at launch than it is now.

This has nothing to do with graphics, ping, or connection. Every match feels exactly the same. You can literally predict when you will win or lose, as if the game follows the same repeated scenario every time.

Since you always say “we listen to players”, here’s the reality:

Skill moves are almost useless.

Long balls, crosses, and corners barely matter.

Everyone plays the same way, with the same spinning and dribbling around the pitch, running in circles. There’s no creativity, no identity, no uniqueness.

The only effective playstyle now is pointless spinning and dribbling in circles.

Tactics used to matter. Now players are forced into one boring style instead of playing the way they enjoy. Player roles and positioning are also worse than older versions like FIFA 23.

If you truly listen to the community, the solution is simple:
Bring the gameplay closer to how it was at launch, fix tactics, restore real player roles, and allow different playstyles to work again.

Because in its current state, FC 26 is not fun — it’s just frustrating and repetitive.

  • I don't think the Devs are so incompetent that they would accidentally destroy their own game. More likely it is part of the effort to steer players towards UT.

    This happens every year for the past five years, game is made worse and worse... constant changes to the meta so players need different players to win. 

    Usually this time of year they change the meta to speedsters, and in January they will make it so that Strength is important. So remember to keep buying packs with real money to make the devs happy. 

  • The nerfs are coming in so that when TOTY comes out, everyone talks about how good the gameplay is and does their marketing for them. They do this every year,

  • since the first patch this games been ruined. first 2 weeks it was brilliant compared to now! on console it’s like controlling trucks. Shocking
