Gameplay

This really is almost unplayable atm... I cant for the world understand what EA is thinking... There is no way they actually play theyre own game. This is another level of bad.

I’m genuinely struggling to understand how a company with EA’s resources, budget, and history continues to ship systems that feel this unfinished, inconsistent, and poorly validated.

This isn’t about “losing a match” or “needing to adapt.” This is about core design and testing failures that would be obvious within hours of normal play.

Objectives are the clearest example. They routinely fail to track properly, or are so poorly balanced that they turn modes into chores instead of challenges

Which leads to the obvious question: who is validating this before release?

Because it clearly isn’t being stress-tested by people who play the game the way the community does. Either QA is severely underpowered, feedback is ignored, or deadlines are overruling basic functionality. None of those explanations are reassuring.

What’s most frustrating is that the potential is there. The engine, licenses, and player base are unmatched. And yet every year, avoidable issues resurface like they were never documented, never learned from, and never taken seriously.

Players aren’t asking for perfection.

We’re asking for:

Systems that work as described

Objectives that respect our time

Testing that goes beyond “does the store menu work”

And design decisions that feel intentional, not accidental

Right now, FC 26 feels less like a polished sports title and more like a live internal build that the community is paying to debug.
