But shouldn't the archetypes video have come today? And I know you don't make the decisions so I don't expect you to answer, but why is the ultimate team deep dive last when most pre order rewards are for that mode, and it could affect consumer's determination of whether or not to do so? All the best to you!

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.

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!

Hello EA_Vendcera
Will there be more deep dive videos, and is there a schedule for releasing more details?

Yes, I'm exactly like you, wondering the same thing — because July is almost over and there's still no video about the archetypes or clubs. As for your question about Ultimate Team, I don’t know what their policy is. But in general, if you’re interested in hearing the details when the official Ultimate Team video drops, there are already videos on YouTube where the developers talk about Ultimate Team and what they’re planning for FC 26. There are long and detailed clips that satisfy the curiosity and excitement of the players a bit.

Я с нетерпением жду выхода FIFA 26. Я уверен, что ничего не изменится. Это будет та же игра с миллионами ошибок, которые будут добавлены только после обновления. Вся их презентация — это уловка для продажи FIFA 26. Потом скажут, что новых улучшений, которые были показаны в презентации, не будет. Это начнется со сломанного магазина, онлайн-противников, проблем с наградами, проблем со входом в игру или некоторых других проблем. Проблемы с производительностью, античит-меры, которые будут мешать игре. Затем приступят к исправлению проблем с дисплеем, комплектами, ботинками, лицами. И мы будем сходить с ума, что в симпатичной упаковке снова коровий навоз! Вы действительно думаете, что они изменились)? Сколько лет назад вышла эта игра? 26? И что мы имеем? Проблемы с настройками нашей сети, провайдером, моими корявыми руками, но точно не игра, она красивая.

So instead of releasing a video about archetypes and clubs, they will release one about Career Mode! What is the reason for not sticking to the original July plan? Are there still some adjustments being made to the Clubs mode, which caused the delay?

Hello Manso0rr
Thanks for the link, the video is too long though, so I just read the transcript. I'm pretty happy with it overall, but it seems that all of the new modes are multiplayer modes, which if that's the case, there will be no way for me to enjoy the game. Squad battles disconnections are not discussed either, nor does it seem more matches will be added.
Like I said, I'll be happy for you all if your concerns are addressed and you like the game, but it may just be the end of the road for me.
All the best to you!
