FC 26 Reveal Trailer is out! Pre-order now!

pre-order Rewards for FC 25 will not be immediately accessible, they will be delivered in the coming days.

I pre-ordered the game and want to know when the FC 25 Rewards will be delivered. Coming days as two or three days or weeks/months?

Alright, the trailer looks amazing. The way you're addressing the issues raised by the community and trying to fix them is something truly worthy of respect. However, we’d like to see more gameplay in the upcoming videos.

I really liked the agility sequence in the trailer, but it was shown without the ball. What if it were done with the ball? How would the player’s agility look then?

I also noticed an issue in the Mbappé scene — after a through ball was played to him and he started chasing it, he suddenly became extremely fast. Meanwhile, the defender appeared to slow down in an exaggerated way, as if there was some kind of speed restriction — similar to what we suffer from as attackers in FC 25. But this time, it seems like the defenders are the ones getting stuck a little. I’m not completely sure yet, but we’ll see.

Also, there are other issues we need to see whether they’ve been fixed or not:

1. The offside system: Offsides happen frequently when a player is in an offside position but hasn’t touched the ball—yet the referee still calls it. The player should touch the ball first before the offside is declared. In competitive modes, many players leave the ball intentionally, yet it still counts as offside.

2. Skill moves: Skilled players should be rewarded. Skill moves should have more impact on gameplay, be faster, and show higher agility.

3. Lobbed passes and first touch, especially long ball through passes, need to be improved—even from long distances. We want to see the players’ full capabilities, especially those with the Long Ball Through PlayStyle.

4. Flair passes should be more accurate and stronger. This would enhance the beauty of gameplay and break the monotony.

5. The communication system in FC 25 is poor and needs to be changed in FC 26. Either bring back the old system from FC 24 or FIFA 23, or create a whole new one. We want meaningful reactions and the ability to control player emotions like anger, joy, praise, etc.—not random animations.

6. The Play-Off Tournament system in Clubs mode is extremely boring and needs to be removed. It should be replaced with the old Division system from FIFA 23. Also, cups should return, along with team celebrations after winning a trophy—this gives a feeling of reward and makes the game more fun. It must return in a new, exciting way.

7. Add ankle tape options for players, with customization and personalization options.

8. Suggestion: Change the sock designs for players—make them more diverse. For example, in real life, many players wear socks with tears or cuts. Adding this would be a unique new feature.

9. Remove cross-play, due to the large number of hackers on the PC platform—or implement a strong system to eliminate cheaters if cross-play is to remain.

10. Bring back the old club cups, like “No Rules Cup” and others. These were really fun and broke the routine of standard matches.

11. Lastly, the beta version should be available for everyone in the store, not just for a selected group via email invites.

That’s all I believe FC 26 should focus on for now. Based on the trailer, it seems like many issues have already been addressed, so I won’t comment more on gameplay until I see more videos or try the beta myself later.

Hello Manso0rr​ 

Don't forget that create/edit player needs to get out of the past and join us here in the now. The feature is almost useless at this point. 

All the best to you!

Please add Voice acting 

Hey folks,

I know there are still a lot of questions about this new FC iteration!

We've just posted our super detailed Gameplay Deep Dive to hopefully answer a lot of your points.
You can read through it all here, but I warn you, it's quite a lot: EA SPORTS FC 26 | Pitch Notes - Gameplay Deep Dive

Please allow us to have custom formations in fc26

Hello,

I have a question — the licensing rights for the AFC Champions League will expire this year.

Will we be able to see the AFC Champions League in FC 26 or even FC 27?

Asian football deserves more attention!

This article is really amazing — I liked it even more than the Deep Dive Gameplay video.

What I loved the most about the article is the return of Left Stick Dribbling — finally! This means the fun is coming back to the game, and also the skill gap between players will return depending on good or bad timing and correct anticipation. That’s truly awesome.

The article is very long and full of great details. Some parts may need a bit of discussion, but not now — I need to reread all those details more thoroughly.

However, there is one thing that’s still disappointing for me so far, and it relates to both the Deep Dive Gameplay video and the article: all the focus is on ground passes — short ground passes or ground through balls!

There’s no real focus on long passes, crosses, long through balls, or lobbed passes from distance behind defenders, etc. There’s not much detail about this aspect. Also, there aren’t any new types of passes added to the game — for example:

What if you have the ball but you're not facing the goal (the opponent's goal is behind you), and your teammate is making a run forward while a defender is pressing you from behind — why isn’t there a new type of pass that allows you to pass the ball to your running teammate even if you’re not facing the goal? This happens in real football.

So, there’s a lack of difficult passes or new passing types that would add variety and increase the fun. Also, there’s nothing about flair passes in the video or the article — no mention of new flair pass types, their power, or accuracy.

This really needs to be taken into consideration.

But overall, great work so far EA!

All year long on the forum we were told the input delay and abysmal animations were our ISP..

EA themselves came out and said input delay can be seen even in offline game modes and the animations are a problem, the game engine can’t keep up with them. 

I think many of us are owed an apology for our valid, & proven accurate, concerns being disregarded & pushed back to our ISP’s for nearly 10 months. 

FC26 is all good news as of now, wait till millions of people are on the server at release. I have a feeling these same issues will arise again, the game engine is exactly the same (frostbite) as are the servers which have proven, especially of late, to be below par and substandard. 

Hello EA_Vendcera​ 

I have a few questions about the deep dive. 

Will short range lofted through balls be given a higher trajectory? It seems that those passes are blocked far more often than they should be, and the passers don't try to avoid this. 

Secondly, the gamechanger playstyle says increased effectiveness of trivela shots. But it also says that players without the playstyle cannot perform trivela shots. So is that correct, or is there an attribute based criteria? 

Also, will there be further details on the set piece trajectory changes? What effect if any will the dead ball playstyle have? 

Will there be more deep dives into these areas or do we just have to wait to find out? 

Also, will cpu difficulty be fixed? Many people here have rightly pointed out that professional and world class are too hard, especially defensively. 

I have more questions, but I will say there appear to be many significant improvements, but I'm sure everyone here knows what I'm waiting for. But if other people's needs and complaints are addressed, then I'll be happy with that in the end. 

All the best to you!
