Patches O'houlihan

when FC26 first came out, I glazed the hell out of it. Gameplay was fun, vibes were high, but it’s been patched and patched and patched and patched seemingly into oblivion.

Come home to play some fut champs today. Had a great game which goes to pens at 8-8. The shootout starts… but then, THE PLAYERS AND KEEPERS AREN'T EVEN THERE!! I do find stuff like this funny, but after spending £100 on the ultimate edition and a stupid amount of money on FC points, I just don’t expect such a terrible product in return.

Bounce back has popped its head up again. Can’t even watch a celebration without getting thrown to kick off first for some reason. Button delay is the worst its ever been. And most annoyingly of all, the game seems to get patched every week. 

I dont know what these patches are for if a new issues comes off the back of them. 

This game started at a 9/10, and 2 months in it’s dropped all the way to a 5/10.

Please, stop patching it unless it’s to actually fix bugs and not gameplay.

  • Hi,

    While I see what you are saying I do contest some of it. And here are my reasons.

    Release gameplay was ok to a degree. BUT issues with the following.

    • Chipped Crosses to back post easy header goal
    • Jockey was non existent
    • Constant spinning in box for easy goals - No skill needed
    • Acrobatic goals were OP beyond belief 
    • Attackers did not make smart runs
    • Goalkeepers weren't smart at near post
    • Goalkeepers weren't smart at far post
    • Improved winger runs into box
    • Nerfed short corners
    • Nerfed rainbow flick in to volley goals
    • Kick off goals with better AI positions

    The above to just name a few. All were desperately needed.

    Bro not like they do everything right. Attackers don't make smart runs even now, Rainbow flick goals aren't nerfed, Kickoff goals are still the same, Short corners are still OP. It's still the same from the beginning but now, the gameplay's beyond **bleep**.

    I didn’t think it could get any worse after the previous patch. In the words of Mick McCarthy “it can”
