How EA can improve FC 26
NUKE IT!
Just stop working on this game and dedicate the next 8 months to making FC 27 a game that delivers on the promises made in FC 26.
Start by dedicating more servers to fix the gameplay congestion issues that have been constant since FC 26's release. I'm playing TOTY 2 live event and my players feel like they are running in ankle deep water. Every touch is a knock-on dribble. The input delay makes it nearly impossible to score and the unstable connection is causing my players not to complete the right actions because it cuts out mid button combo (ridiculous that I need to press 3 buttons for 1 player action).
Stop manipulating the gameplay to handicap/tilt the scales in the CPU's favor. Or at least keep that in Ultimate difficulty. Casual gamers don't want to play against what feels like the same team wearing a different uniform over and over again. There is no room to explore different tactics.
Match players based on their actual rank and not where you think they should be. I'm tired of losing 2-3 games in a row and then getting placed against a bot/whipping boy. It's just not fun.
Originally I had planned on buying FC points before TOTY, but now I'm glad I didn't. All the packs with better guaranteed players are untradeable. Coincidence? Or EA's greed?
I would not buy FC 27 based on my experience with FC 26. At this point, I may refrain from purchasing ANY future EA game. It just seems like EA has lost sight of what made their game so special: you can't put a price on good times with family and friends.
