The trickster rainbow flick

This rainbow flick glitch has been going on for years on old gen idk when its going to get fixed

EA needs to fix the rainbow flick and then bicycle kick glitch. A player can do it from the 18 yard box and it’ll go in 100 out of 100 times people are abusing this glitch and Eashould fix it to make it less overpowered 

Please

Hello EA Team,

I wanted to provide some feedback regarding the rainbow flick into bicycle kick combination in FC26. Previously, this move allowed for highly accurate and powerful bicycle kicks following a rainbow flick. The recent patch was intended to address this issue by nerfing the accuracy of the bicycle kick after a rainbow flick.

However, it seems the fix only adjusted the accuracy values for a specific overhead kick animation rather than addressing the underlying mechanic. As a result, the inaccuracy doesn't consistently trigger after a rainbow flick; instead, one particular animation now performs poorly while others remain very accurate. 

This change has effectively turned acrobatic volleys into a gamble: sometimes the volley executes with full accuracy and power, while other times it results in an unsatisfactory outcome, especially when following a rainbow flick. 

Additionally, this adjustment has significantly reduced the effectivenes of the acrobatic volley playstyle. Aerial play in general now seems even less reliable, making strategies that rely on volleys, overheads or headers far less viable. As a results, the gameplay increasingly favours ground-based play, which limits tactical variet and diminishes the diversity of finishing styles. 

I understand the intention behind balancing this move, but I hope future updates can consider a more consistent solution that maintains skill-based execution while addressing exploit concerns. 

Thank you for your time and for continuously improving the game.

I just conceded 7 goals in a champs game to this rainbow flick bicycle glitch. I was 9-2 in champs before this game. He did not miss a single one, spammed it every single attack and you can barely tackle the player when it’s in the air. This is the only way he scored against me, I scored 3 proper goals against him. Absolute BS.
I included a few of them in this clip, you get the idea by the third or fourth. Fix this asap EA, it’s so unfair to people who are actually trying to attack in this game 

Dear EA,

please fix the rainbow flick to volley glitch as players are doing it more and more now, you nerfed this last year why it got back in the game??

please see video attached. 

Recently I lost 8-3 in champions. That’d be okay to me except five goals were scored by this weird gimmick where my opponent simply went to the edge of the box, rainbow flicked it and then scored a bicycle kick that went in no matter where they were. Makes you wonder why bother removing timed finishing in fc 26 if people can just do this instead. I have video evidence. Wish ea would do something.

These goals should not be happening, like ever. EA really needs to address these silly goals. People trying to chip the ball and volley and all this lark. Make more error happen please.

happend to me 3 weekend leagues in a row now i was 5-0 7-0 and 11-0 ive never got rank one its been my dream for last 5 years ive never got one and these rainbow bicycles r killing me and ruining me mentle health pls ea fix your game and i really demand compensasion and get my game back

When you do a Rainbow flick anywhere near the Box uand than shoot the Ball, the Ball is always going in its not realistic. The Kepper is to much out to safe that. Rainbow flick into shooting should not be awarded. I played against that like 4 Times in one Day. Please fix that bug so i can enjoy the game again.

Yeah, this glitch is impossible to stop. I usually quit after I concede a goal like this one, even when im up. Because you just know its going downhill from there and I can’t be bothered to play vs people that abuse that mechanic, it takes away all the skill and fun that’s left in this game. 

EA, please remove this disgusting mechanic!

I agree 100%, very well written feedback 

It should be gone asap

Hi there, 

So if you have not seen it you will see it soon as it is spreading very fast. The bicycle shot was patched a while back but EA didn't know that some players with 4 skills and Gamechanger playstyle can still do it. On div 2 and higher and fut champs there are many players abusing this shoot from all different angles, players sit back all the game and wait for an opportunity to do this glitched shot to score which is not acceptable and not fun at all.

I will explain how to do it so it got known among the community which will help patch it ASAP. 

1- You need a player with 4 stat skill moves at least to do the rainbow flick. And the Gamechanger playstyle. Ex. Pina, yamal, diani, ayoze etc

2- after doing the rainbow flick press the L2 and R1 with the shoot button and watch the player doing a bicycle kick shot which will result in a goal 90% of the time.

It is 3 weeks now and nothing happen to it, I hope it is patched soon as i get tired from facing the player that abuse this mechanic. 

Btw it is doable in all modes, also works on next and old gens. Please spread this feedback so EA can fix it ASAP.

This needs to be patched asap. Facing many Bug Users in Rivals at the moment.

Mate this is the dumbest glitch in the game has to be fixed I’ve had it happen a few times but this was the worst just went into a draft and lost to it in the first round went 3-0 was clearly better than this guy who had mbappe etc the best draft team I’ve ever seen but he decided to just do this glitch I ended up losing 6-4 because he scored 6 goals doing this even if he was through 1 on 1 he would just stop on the edge of the box and do it it’s so stupid as there is no way to stop it. 

Can you fix the bug? I meet a guy who drives 5 goals outside the penalty area with a rainbow flick and shoots, why are you ruining the game so much?
