This isn’t a tuning issue. It isn’t “early patch adjustments needed.” It’s a foundational intelligence problem. Right now, FC 26 does not understand football at a systems level. Multiple core mechanics actively work against logic, positioning, and player intent. Below is a breakdown of what’s going wrong. 1. Passing Logic Has No Spatial Awareness Passing feels disconnected from player input and football fundamentals. The engine consistently selects the wrong target. Pass down, it passes up. Pass right it passes left. Simple or obvious passing lanes are ignored. Through balls are to overpowered and normal passes to underpowered. U got people that just exploit the mechanics of the game spamming the incisive pass with no logic other than its too strong. The system shows no awareness of angles, pressure, or body positioning. It often feels like the game overrides your decision and chooses chaos. This isn’t difficulty. It’s just broken. 2. Bounce-Back Tackles Winning the ball cleanly should end an attack. Instead: You time a tackle perfectly. You clearly win possession. The ball ricochets instantly back to the attacker. The attack continues like nothing happened. Repeatedly. This creates artificial pressure and removes defensive reward. Tackling is reduced to a minor inconvenience instead of a skill-based action. 3. Overpowered Tackles From Behind, overpowered physical duels Defenders can: Stick out a leg from behind with zero body position. Magnetically hook the ball away. Win possession with no foul called. Physical challenges are waaay to strong, i mean my 99 strength player get bullied of the ball like nothing by a 77 female. Physical only favours defender. Its completely idiotic gameplay. Meanwhile, attackers lose the ball from the slightest toe contact as if the defender’s boot has superglue on it. Skill dribbling is punished. Blind tackling is rewarded. 4. Defensive AI Centre-backs: Randomly step up to follow attackers into ur box creating space instead of holding line putting them in offside. Abandon the defensive line with no trigger. Create massive gaps for through balls. Full-backs tuck in when they shouldn’t. CDMs don’t track runners. Defenders don’t understand risk management. There is no consistent defensive structure logic. 5. Corners = Instant Counterattacks (Again) After a corner: Your players are out of position. One clearance turns into a 3v2 or 4v2 sprint. No recovery AI logic activates. This isn’t realistic counterplay. It’s systemic imbalance. 6. Attacking AI Is Either Static or Brain-Dead Forwards: Stand still next to defenders. Make runs directly into marked areas. Sprint into offside like a blind buffalo in a stampede. Ignore obvious gaps between centre-backs. There’s no timing, no staggered runs, no reading of play. 7. Dribbling and Creativity Nerfed Into Oblivion Dribbling has been reduced to: Clumsy collisions. Coin-flip animations. Random dispossession. Creative play is punished. Exploit mechanics are rewarded. Anything that requires skill rather than abuse of mechanics has been systematically weakened. 8. Goalkeeper Inconsistency Keepers: Concede from impossible tight angles. Fail to react to near-post shots. Miss routine saves. Then pull off superhuman saves from point-blank range. There’s no logic curve. It feels animation-driven, not physics-driven. Certain angles should not be 100% goals. 9. “Impossible” Solo Goals Players can: Run straight through multiple defenders. Ignore physical pressure. Score from unrealistic shooting positions. Meanwhile structured build-up play is unreliable. The balance favors chaos over football. 10. Reward Structure Punishes the Average Player Example: 24 attempts required. 20 wins needed for full rewards. That locks a large portion of the player base out. Instead of scaling rewards fairly, the system demands near-perfection. It discourages participation. 11. Pack Weight & Progression Frustration Whether intentional or not: Pack luck feels heavily unrewarding. Progression feels grind-gated. Rewards don’t match effort. If gameplay is frustrating and rewards are underwhelming, engagement drops fast. 12. Server Instability & Input Delay Especially during objective tournaments: Heavy gameplay. Delayed inputs. Inconsistent responsiveness. Skill gap disappears when responsiveness isn’t consistent. 13. Rubberbanding & Objective Quitting When players: Rubberband to complete objectives. Intentionally lose to avoid playing… That’s not a community problem. That’s a gameplay satisfaction problem. People avoid playing because the experience isn’t enjoyable. Core Issue: The Game Doesn’t Reward Football Intelligence Right now: Reading the play isn’t rewarded. Tackling cleanly isn’t rewarded. Creative dribbling isn’t rewarded. Structured defending isn’t rewarded. Patient build-up isn’t rewarded. Exploit-heavy, chaotic play is. This isn’t realism. It isn’t difficulty. It’s low-level decision logic across multiple systems. What Needs to Change Rework spatial awareness in passing. Remove or drastically reduce bounce-back possession immunity. Tone down behind-the-back tackling magnetism. Fix defensive line discipline AI. Balance corner recovery logic. Improve attacking run intelligence and offside awareness. Restore dribbling responsiveness and reward skill input. Stabilize goalkeeping logic based on angle and distance. Overpowered females outmuscle big guys. Just seriously. Just give evryone pink hair and pink boots allready. Adjust reward systems to scale more fairly. Fix server responsiveness before adding more content. If this is the intended gameplay direction, then it’s deeply concerning. Because right now, FC 26 doesn’t feel competitive. It doesn’t feel realistic. And it definitely doesn’t feel intelligent. A great example is when my midfielder just runs past the guy with the ball to go to his position instead of going for the ball Tactics are terrible... It feels like a football game that doesn’t understand football. U also have negative game mechanics. The game is full of them, like ur player slowing down, tumbling for 4 seconds, or the best way to prove it... If u try to pass at the back ur passes come unprecise and the first touch becomes difficult even from a small pass. So yes game is actively trying to make u worse. Many more things as well but all these are core problems with the game. But the really tragic part is... This is not at all fun or enjoyable. Ping used to average around 30ms. Now it’s sitting at 38ms. Either half the player base quit overnight, or the servers have somehow gotten worse. And honestly? It feels like the latter. Gameplay is completely off. The connection feels delayed, heavy, unresponsive. Whether it’s bad ping or just broken mechanics, dribbling has been absolutely nerfed into the ground. Players turn like trucks, skill moves feel delayed, and responsiveness is nowhere near what it should be. This isn’t “competitive difficulty.” It’s input lag and clunky gameplay. Right now, it’s borderline unplayable. Fix the servers. Fix the responsiveness. Because this? This isn’t it. On a scale of 1 to 6 this is a clear 1. Its a really really terrible product and should never been released. This reeks of lack of understanding, lazy solutions and a complete lack of care about football or your customers. Just horrible If i ever want to just destroy and take everything thats fun out of something i would hire EA. Sry for long post, but its just so much wrong with the game735Views28likes28CommentsMANUAL Controls can SAVE this game
MANUAL controls for high ELITE gameplay online is the only mechanic that can save this series. Look at Rocket League and how the ball is FREE flowing at all times. This is how a Football game should play. The ball should feel FREE at all times. Many argue that attributes are a non factor on manual settings but this is NOT true. Good manual players will rise to the top, while those who are average will stay there. The skill gap would be MASSIVE and the game would be respected once again just like Rocket League is respected amongst the gaming community. To the EA Developers. you have absolutely no choice now. It is the only thing that will bring back players to the game.19Views0likes1CommentServer Disconnects & Missing Rewards (PS5) - 3 March 2026
Hi EA Support, I am reporting major server issues occurring today (March 3, 04:30). Weekend League: Disconnected during 4 matches while leading, resulting in 4 unfair losses. Division Rivals: Servers were completely down during the final hours. I needed only 1 more win for my rewards but was unable to play. Irreparable Disadvantage: Since I am playing from Belgium, I cannot purchase FC Points. I rely entirely on earned rewards to build my team. These lost wins and missing rewards have caused an irreparable disadvantage for my account that I cannot catch up on. Account Info: PSN ID: Usef Zi Club Name: KielUnited Platform: PS5 Please investigate my match history and compensate me for these technical failures. Thank you.79Views2likes4CommentsA permanent ban affecting mass XBOX players in CHINA
Hello, I am creating this post to report a mass permanent ban on thousands of XBOX players in CHINA, as we received permanent sanctions for 'coin distribution', for most of us never engage in such behaviour, or any other behaviour not allowed by EA's terms of behaviour and user agreement. Although there is no server in China mainland, there are still lots of dedicated FC players in the past many years, many of us spent more than 10,000 US dollar in this game. Since 1-2 weeks ago, many of XBOX players in CHINA were suddenly banned for "violating the User Agreement.", and received another email for 'Coin distribution' one week later. Many of us have submitted more than 3 appeal to request a full review of account activity, without action cancelled on our account. During the first appeal, EA claimed cheating was the reason for the ban; during the second appeal, the response shifted to selling gold coins; and during the third appeal, it reverted back to cheating. Isn't this contradictory? Our accounts are filled with FC Points bought with real money, a carefully built squad, and countless hours of investment. We play WL, rivals, complete SBCs, objectives, and normal manual trading around late January and early February, we never bought or sold coins, never used bots or automation tools, and only performed normal gameplay activities. Chinese players should not be treated in this way. We request a human review of our account activity, and cancelling the action taken on our account. You can also see more details about this issue in this post, where many Chinese players report the same issue: Xbox FC26 Mass “Coin Distribution” Permanent Bans | EA Forums - 13165186 One community manager agreed to flag that post for TOS team, while still not cancelling our ban. In Chinese forum Baidu Tieba, many users also post the same issue, with screenshots below with translation.279Views5likes13CommentsEvolution : Birthday Warm up
Hello guys, Yesterday I had like one of the most UNFAIR issue in the game. so normally when you do an evolution for a player you are being able to pause it right? So now EA decided to bring out this Birthday Warm up evolution to get 5 weakfoot and 5 skillmoves for 60.000 coins and waiting time of 72 hours with an option to cancel it? May I ask why? Or why not with a warning message like are you sure you want to cancel it? Just to spill your time and coins. So I bought this evo waited for almost 72 hours and it would finish in 2/3 hours. Now what happened I thought in that time let me do some other evolutions, so I did and gues what happened when I pickedup my rewards for my other evolution? I just pressed the X button one time to much wich canceled my evolution after 70 hours of waiting and didn’t complete it and didn’t get my coins back. And I dont even care about the coins i would have bought it again but I also couldn’t… I contacted EA support and explained this and they couldn’t do anything about it so yeah thank you EA… and for others out there in the furute WATCH OUT PLEASE because it will be gone and all your time and hard work and money will be wasted. thank me later. Bye.18Views1like0CommentsEA FC 26 starheads
