Needed improvements for FC 27 and onwards
playing fc at 6o fps on ps5/ Xbox in 2026 is unacceptable. Performance mode should enable 12o fps.
Smooth menus with a proper layout.
A chemistry system built around gameplay not links from clubs, nations and leagues.
For example:
A player item would get 3 chemistry points if he/she played five matches, 2 chemistry points if played three matches, and 1 chemistry point if played one match.
Ability to adjust positions inside the tactics board.
Ability to have two different formations when in possession, and without the ball.
Having playstyles as a bonus over attributes, where each Player would have max 3 PS+ and max 3 PS by the end of the season.
Normal playstyles should be applied to a player where the Corresponded attribute is min 80-85. playstyles+ should be applied to a player where the corresponded attribute is min 90-95. For example: A fast player like Mbappé is eligible to have quick step+ because he has 90+ Acceleration.
Competitive Gameplay:
When Defending:
AI-controlled players shouldn't be able to tackle or intercept the opponent at all.
Instead, AI should only intercept the ball if the user passes it directly to an AI-controlled player.
AI-controlled players shouldn't provide overpowered, non-stop pressure for the user at all.
Team Press and Teammate Contain could provide a little bit of pressure for the user. However, it should significantly affect players' stamina.
AI-controlled players with low stamina should noticeably underperform, suffer major attribute reductions, and should barely be able to sprint.
When Attacking:
Build-up play should be a skill to learn.
AI attacking players should utilize empty spaces better.
AI attacking players shouldn't frequently run into offside positions, especially players with higher Attacking Positioning.
The user shouldn't keep possession of the ball for too long. So, I would suggest a foul would be given to the opponent after a countdown of 15s for example, if the user kept time wasting for too long.
Here is a concept I made for fc27 menu that is more simple and more user-friendly where all core online experience in one page, and the offline modes in one page.
