The gameplay in FC 26 is total trash
I would like to address the so-called developers of this football simulator. Did it ever cross your minds, before releasing a product that feels completely unfinished and full of gameplay flaws, to actually study how real football is played on a pitch? It feels like a mockery of the sport, the names of real players, and the competitive gaming community as a whole. You have been developing a football simulator for over 30 years, yet the same fundamental mistakes keep repeating themselves. Perhaps it is time to actually integrate realistic football mechanics into the game. The amount of gameplay bugs and the complete lack of a functional defensive system are simply unacceptable. However, it often feels pointless to write this, as player feedback on these forums seems to be completely ignored. Instead of delivering a genuinely new experience, it feels like we are just getting DLC-level updates of previous titles packaged as brand-new games year after year, solely to maximize profit with minimum effort. Another massive issue is the state of the servers. When will we finally see a permanent fix? Currently, the community is constantly told that the connection issues are on our end or due to our ISPs, with the standard advice being to just use a LAN cable. This avoids addressing the real root of the problem. I am genuinely looking forward to the day a real competitor enters the market to finally push your development team to improve. Charging 70€ for the Standard Edition is heavily overpriced for the current state of the product. A realistic price tag for this level of quality would be 20€ maximum.Add Switch 2 cross-play in EA Sports FC 26
Please consider adding Nintendo Switch 2 to cross-play in EA Sports FC 26.It’s a much more powerful console than the original Switch, and it would make sense for it to be included with Xbox, PlayStation, and PC cross-play.A lot of players would benefit from full platform cross-play in future updates. Thanks for reading.Bring Back the World Cup Ultimate Team Mode from FIFA 18
Hello EA FC Team, I would like to suggest bringing back the World Cup Ultimate Team mode that was featured in FIFA 18. It was one of the most enjoyable and memorable game modes in FIFA history. Building squads around national teams, collecting World Cup players and competing in World Cup-themed tournaments created a unique experience that felt different from the regular Ultimate Team cycle. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching, this would be the perfect opportunity to bring back a similar mode in FC 26. It would increase excitement around the tournament, give players fresh content to enjoy and create a special atmosphere that celebrates international football. Many players still remember the FIFA 18 World Cup mode fondly, and I believe its return would be welcomed by a large part of the community. Thank you for considering this suggestion and for continuing to improve the game.
Add Online World Cup-Style Tournament Mode
Hello EA SPORTS FC team, I would like to strongly request the addition of a proper Online World Cup / International Tournament Mode, similar to the excitement we had during the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Back then, one of the most enjoyable experiences was being able to: Choose a national team Play a full online tournament against real players Go through a knockout bracket (group stage → round of 16 → quarterfinals → final) Experience the feeling of a real World Cup competition online This created a very competitive and immersive mode that many players loved, especially during the World Cup period. What I am suggesting: Please add a permanent or recurring Online International Tournament Mode with the following features: Full Online Knockout Tournament Players select national teams (e.g. Croatia, Brazil, France, etc.) 48-team or 32-team bracket format Real-time matchmaking against other players Group stage + knockout rounds (just like real World Cup format) Co-op 2v2 Online Option Allow players to invite a guest/friend Play as a duo (2v2) in online tournament matches Same national team or custom co-op teams This would make the mode even more fun for friends playing together Rewards and Progression Cosmetic rewards (kits, badges, stadium themes) Seasonal ranking or leaderboard for tournament performance Special World Cup event weekends Limited-Time Events Could be released during international breaks or World Cup years Or as a recurring event in FUT / Online Seasons Why this is important: This mode was one of the most exciting parts of previous FIFA World Cup experiences. It felt unique because it was not just Ultimate Team or regular online seasons — it was a true competitive international tournament against real players. Many players still miss this experience and would love to see it return in EA SPORTS FC as a dedicated online mode. Thank you for reading, and I hope this idea reaches the development team.Add a "Rewind" Feature in Ultimate Team for Testing AI and Roles
I would love to see a "Rewind" feature added to FC 27 Ultimate Team. Where it would work: A brand new Ultimate Team Training Mode. Squad Battles (specifically against the Featured Squad). How it works: You press a specific button command, and the game instantly rewinds 1 to 5 seconds. During this pause, you can modify player Roles, then resume play from the exact same scenario. Why this is useful: Test AI movement. Compare Roles: Test multiple tactical options in the exact same match situation to see what works best. Improve gameplay: Give players a reliable environment to practice scenarios without having to restart a whole match.
