Players & Teams feedback Megathread
Hello everyone! We’re excited to open this megathread for you to share your feedback on player and team data within the FC series games. Whether you have suggestions for attribute updates, have noticed some objective discrepancies between real life and the game, or just want to share your thoughts, this is the place to do it. Your feedback helps ensure our game is as true to life as possible. Please attach relevant data and image/video footage if possible. Our team is eager to hear from you, but please keep in mind that not all feedback will result in changes for various reasons. For those interested in diving deeper and contributing even more, consider applying as a Reviewer for our FC Data Collective at https://fc-datacollective.ea.com/ It’s a great way to help define the characteristics of players and teams in the future FC titles! Thank you in advance for your contributions!😁
Rivals Matchmaking feedback
Hello, As per my understanding, matchmaking in FC works in the following way. 1 - Algorithm checks for location (e.g. player in the UK to match to another UK, or closest located player) 2 - Algorithm checks for level (e.g. matched a player from Division 8 to a player from Division 4 because no Division 8 through 5 is found nearby ) This has happened to me, Division 7, and matched against a player from Division 2 (I asked the person what division they are in and the region they are located in), and find this to be quite a big issue, as it causes players to match with others who are far better at the game. It is understandable that if the time of day, or night, is not the best, finding a nearby player in a similar division may be difficult, however, I believe that the players should be aware before starting the game, that the opponent is in a way higher division (if its 7 to 6, it may be fine, but 7 to 2 is too big of a difference), therefore a prompt notification may be suitable and it should not be a hard to implement feature, as the matchmaking algorithm (I am more than certain of this) contains both pieces of information (location and ranking).

I've gone back and played many of the older FIFAs all the way back of FIFA 08 and find myself enjoying those more than any of the FC series games. They all had a common theme, it was fun and features were actually improvements throughout the years with the sweet spot being FIFA 17-19. FC 26 was a huge step from FC 24 regarding the FC series and a minor step up from FC 25. At this point, just remaster FIFA 17- FIFA 19 and the new faces to it and give us an open world with a storyline WITHOUT crazy micro transactions for player career mode, which needs major attention. Archetypes are cool but it's just putting a name to the stats my pro would already have. Manager career mode as well is just bland. Bring back player managers, bring back club sponsors, add life to offline modes. The new mechanics are just weird. The players still run strangely as if they are half squatting (though much better than FC 24). Turning on the ball is still causes odd sliding animations and FC IQ has limited player positioning. These are all ruining the game. Bring formation editing back, bring traits back over player PlayStyles but keep the archetypes. There was more atmosphere to the crowd mainly because of the audio. In the golden era, the colors and atmosphere were more cinematic and moody. At times, key situations will happen in FC 26 and the crowd doesn't react accordingly or at least the audio isn't queued correctly. Feels flat at times. This franchise is going in the wrong direction. Bring back the glory days, make football games fun again!
Stop adding salt to a sweet cake
Dear EA Team, First off, thank you sincerely for releasing the Icon Swaps—it’s a fantastic addition that many of us truly appreciate! However, I’m utterly frustrated and disappointed that EA remains predictably EA, stubbornly inserting objectives designed to infuriate rather than challenge players. How on earth can you justify: 1 chip shot goal in the Bundesliga 2 goals from crosses in the French league It’s blatantly obvious that your decision-makers aren’t even casual players yourselves! In the latest major EA competitions, chip shots and crosses scored nearly ZERO goals—because they’re the most unreliable, clunky mechanics in the entire game! These objectives don’t test skill; they breed pure annoyance and rage. Is this really your target audience, EA? Driving loyal players to the brink? Let me spell it out: The average player faced with this nonsense has just two grim choices—grind futilely until they rage-quit and skip it, or shell out real money for paid services to bypass your idiocy. i nearly forgot 1 token is from playing fut champs the mode I quit because it extremely annoying and toxic, I wish this mode gets removed from the game Please, EA, fix this immediately. We deserve better. Thank you for listening. Sincerely, A Frustrated Fan
Need help for Trainer setup
In FC26 (PC), I like to use the trainer pass, shot target. I make it to show in the ut squad battles, and kick off, season. But in the UT rivals, clubs, and rush it gets off. It was available in FC25. Now I need the solution/suggestion on how to make it permanently on in every game modes.
Goal keeper Evo for Reactions
Its very nice that we have keeper evos now but theres no point of them as when upgrading a bronze polish keeper from the start of the game, i realised every single keeper evo that came out hasn't even really upgraded their reactions which they do need. My keeper has 87 reflexes but only 37 reactions which makes him basically useless. If you could please release a max 86 or max 87 ovr keeper evolution where it puts up their reactions to like 86, that would be perfect. As much as i hate this game, you did very well on this future stars promo so credit where its due 👏TOTY dynamic images.
Please tell me the change is temporary and previous dynamics will come back at 6PM UK time. At least give players a choice: add a one-time, non-repeatable SBC where you submit a TOTY card with the old dynamic and receive the equivalent new trophy-style version or any other kind of solution that bring the old images back. A vast majority of the community seems to hate it as well and agrees that change was uncesessary and made TOTY experience worse. EA has promised this year to listen to community feedback and I really hope they do it this time and at least give players a choice. I genuinely hope someone at EA finds this post, the change is really harsh for players who care about its visual side who have spent their time and money on the game.
