Authentic Gameplay - Online Friendlies
Dear EA team, could you please make it possible to use the truly good "authentic gameplay" at least online in friendly matches? The "competitive mode" is simply too fast and there are far too many goals. We are an online community that values realism and not scoring as many goals as possible. Please, please, add this with a patch as soon as possible. greetings!Not getting wins when the opponent quits
Please can something be done about players quitting the game when they're losing and the opponent does not get the win. I play online Seasons and almost every game the opponent quits when I am in a winning position. They either wait till 80+ minutes to quit or if they're losing by a big scoreline, they will quit the game immediately and I will not get the win nor will there be a record to show I played that opponent. Sometimes they will cheat by pausing the game, do something to quit and a message will show "you have lost connection to your opponent..." Sometimes the disconnection will be immediately after you score (almost instantly) and you will not get the win and there will be no record of that game. And finally, they also cheat by stop playing after you score. The game will restart from the centre circle and the opponent will not move at all, then after approximately a minute you will lose connection to your opponent and not get the win etc. The level of frustration this causes when people are doing it almost every game is immense and I will not play online Seasons anymore until this issue is fixed. I hope EA will do something about it.FC 26 Career Mode – Gameplay realism, fouls, and contract logic
First off, I’m really enjoying FC 26 so far. I play Manager Career Mode and I think this year’s installment is one of the strongest in the past 3–4 years. Gameplay feels solid on Authentic and Ultimate difficulty—maybe a bit too easy at times—but with some slider adjustments, it really feels good to play. That said, I’ve noticed a few issues that I think could be addressed to improve realism and immersion: CPU aggression and lack of fouls/injuries CPU teams rarely commit fouls, even with aggression and injury sliders maxed out. This leads to: - Very few free kicks or penalties (unless handballs are on). - Almost no injuries, which affects squad rotation and realism. - A noticeable imbalance where I commit more fouls than the CPU, especially when playing aggressively. It would be great to see more contextual fouls, physical duels, and injury variety—especially in longer Career Mode saves. Contract negotiation logic It seems players only want to negotiate contracts in the final year. That’s frustrating and unrealistic. It would be more immersive if: - Players were open to talks with 2 years left. - They initiated negotiations based on form, role, or wage expectations. - There was more dynamic interaction—e.g., players requesting extensions or pay bumps. This would add depth to squad management and make Career Mode feel more alive. These tweaks could make a huge difference for those of us who play long-term saves and prioritize realism. And when looking at what has been implemented in the game do not seem to me at least difficult to address.Fullback Roles not working as described
As many others have already suggested in the EA Forum, the positioning of the fullbacks when in possession does not work as it should. This is about EA FC 26 Version 1.1.0 on PC. What does not work, exactly? It is the player roles, especially the positioning of the fullbacks when attacking. The only role, that alters their behavior in a meaningful way is the Falseback role, which makes them tuck into defensive midfield (as they should). For all other roles, they stay back most of the time, only advancing at rare occasions. They even do this on the attacking wingback role, which should actually be their most aggressive role. They should advance and provide attacking width to the team, which is especially needed in narrow formations (like the 4-1-2-1-2 (2)) or in systems with 5 defenders. Have a look at the attached Screenshots: Attacking Wingbacks on Attack should push forward much more aggressively and provide attacking width in this situation. However, they sit back and are far too cautious. Same as 1. Both Fullbacks are Attacking Wingbacks on Attack; The rightback pushes forward as intended, but the leftback falls back and forms a back three, although a centerback already drops back to secure the defense. The Left Attacking Wingback on Attack forms a back three, although I have the ball close to the opposition box. Both Fullbacks are Inverted Wingbacks on Attack, but there is a huge gap in Midfield, as the Rightback drops into a back three again. Inverted Fullbacks on Attack should operate in the marked area of the pitch, but again, they are retreating. Fullbacks on Versatile; They stay back as a complete back four, which is a bit cautious for the role as well, but it at least makes some sense for this role - although a 4v2 in defense is not really needed in this instance. Wingbacks on support should provide width in Attack, but they stay back and do not push forward, although I am playing around the opposition box. I also uploaded a video on YouTube, where I explain the issues in more detail: EA FC 26 Feedback on Player Roles (especially Fullbacks) - YouTube As far as I know, these problems exists in every game mode and in both authentic and competitive gameplay mode. Actually, I am puzzled as to where these problems come from, as fullback roles worked fine in FC 25. This issue already existed in early access and still persists to this day, weeks after launch. Although a title update mentioned that the problem was fixed, it is still there. Honestly, it is a disgrace for such a large and experienced company as you are.

unbalanced difficulty level
Hello. The difficulty level in the player's career is extremely unbalanced. For many years I have only played at world class, but this year in Fc26 the world class level is extremely difficult. It made me give up playing. I tried the professional level but this level seems like an amateur level. Is there any solution, any update, any setting to fix this problem?
