Free kick 168 km.h

Hello dear readers and developers, if you're actually reading this.

I have played 1900 hours of Pro Clubs in FC 26.

I noticed that with 90 overall and the gold "Brain Architect" specialization, the ball speed never goes above 168 km/h.

Even if you set shot power to 99, the ball speed doesn't increase — is this by design, or is there a problem here?

I fill all the bars to the very end — meaning -3.7 bars.

And it's no secret to those who love taking free kicks that the last segment (the fourth bar) is further divided into 8 bars, with the 8th being the final one — and that's the point of overcharging the power.

Now, I have scored many goals with that final bar, and the ball speed ranged from 158 to 168 km/h.

Knuckleball did not enhance this shot.

The question is: does the Architect specialization on a midfielder actually increase free kick power to the maximum?

Is that really the case, because I tested this and there is no difference between 90 and 99 if you have the gold specialization

Letme know if you'd like any adjustments to the tone or phrasing.
