EA FC 27.
EA SPORTS Team,
I would like to share some ideas and suggestions for EA SPORTS FC 26 and future titles in the franchise, focusing on visual and gameplay improvements to increase realism and immersion.
Visual Improvements
We would like more customization options to remove certain visual elements and assists that break immersion. Specifically:
- An option to remove the orange line in the snow.
- An option to remove the yellow "X" indicator when performing crosses or lofted passes.
- An option to remove the digital advertisements beside the goals in the Bundesliga, La Liga, Ligue 1, and other leagues, as they appear bugged during replays and break immersion, looking like a flat, transparent board.
- An option to remove the player names displayed above their heads.
- An option to disable all visual elements related to Hypermotion during matches and replays, including free kicks, penalties, goal kicks, and corner kicks.
- An option to remove the aiming indicators for corners, penalties, and free kicks in the game settings.
- An option to disable gameplay tips during set pieces and regular gameplay.
- An option to zoom the Tactical Camera much farther out. We want the feeling that the pitch is large.
- An option to disable the automatic zoom inside the penalty area, keeping the camera always more open and farther away. We want the camera to be even more distant.
- More clothing options for managers, including jackets, pants, sneakers, and club apparel. This should also include fixing the cold-weather clothing used during rain and other seasons.
- A closer camera in Player Career Mode that focuses only on the created player, keeping the attention centered on them, along with the option to remove the player rating HUD during gameplay.
- Removal of player tifos, whether they feature current squad members or legends, replacing them with realistic flags and large supporter banners.
- Remove the confetti that falls from the sky during trophy celebrations and replace it with something more realistic, such as confetti cannons used during real celebrations.
- An option to adjust and customize the camera speed again.
- The ability to select kits before every match, allowing combinations between the available shirts, shorts, and socks. It should also be possible to change the goalkeeper's kit, have more than one goalkeeper kit for each club, and select it before matches, just like the outfield players' kits.
Weather and Atmosphere
- Add fog as a playable weather condition.
- The possibility of heavier rain as well as light drizzle combined with fog.
- Snow conditions combined with fog, increasing visual realism and the atmosphere of matches.
In addition, it would be extremely important to include offline features that allow the community to fully edit and customize generic teams, including:
- A Club World Cup featuring the Copa Libertadores champion and the UEFA Champions League champion, as well as a Super Club World Cup every four years.
- Creation and editing of club logos.
- Full kit customization.
- Club names and visual identity customization.
- Custom leagues and competitions.
- The ability to edit generic player faces and hairstyles, as well as realistic outfield and goalkeeper kits with sponsors and brands for the "Create Your Club" mode.
- Medical treatment cutscenes when a player gets injured during a match, along with new injury and treatment cutscenes, trophy celebration scenes, locker room scenes, and scenes of the manager talking to players during training weeks, before matches, and before important matches and derbies.
This would significantly increase immersion and creativity in offline game modes.
These changes would provide a cleaner, more realistic visual experience aimed at players seeking total immersion.
Gameplay Improvements
We are looking for a more realistic, challenging, and authentic experience:
- Significantly better goalkeepers, with greater intelligence, positioning, and realistic reflexes.
- Slower, heavier gameplay with natural movement and complete animations, without unrealistic cuts or speed boosts.
- More realistic ball physics, with greater weight and authentic behavior.
- More complete and effective sliders, allowing players to increase error rates and reduce speed for:
- Penalties
- Free Kicks
- Shooting
- Passing
- Dribbling
- Ball Control
Defensive System
- Better organized defensive lines.
- More aggressive and efficient defenders.
- Greater difficulty in breaking through the defense and creating clear scoring opportunities.
Scoring goals should be difficult and rewarding, especially in Authentic Gameplay mode.
In addition:
- Passing and shooting could be semi-manual by default.
- Or include a new hybrid control system between manual and semi-assisted controls, offering greater control and realism.
Conclusion
Overall, we are looking for heavier, slower, and more realistic gameplay that rewards skill and patience.
