Title: First touch goes too long on every receive after reinstall - FC 26 (Seasons online)
Hi EA team,
Since I uninstalled and reinstalled FC 26, my first touch goes too long on almost every receive. When a pass arrives and I take the ball, it runs far away from the player instead of staying close, so I keep losing possession. The game also feels much faster than it did before the reinstall, and ball control has become very difficult.
Details:
- Mode: Seasons (online)
- Gameplay preset: Competitive (locked for online matches)
- Platform: [PC]
- Game version: Steam Build ID 24476534 (installed content updated: Oct 14, 2026)
- Controller: Cosmic Byte Blitz
- Internet: [Wi-Fi]
What I have tried: I reinstalled the game and checked my settings. The problem happens on every receive, so I do not believe it is a controller issue.
Please look into the first touch and dribble touch behaviour in the latest update, and let me know if there is a fix or a setting I am missing.
Thank you.
