bring an extra defender to the play
bring an extra defender to the play The second caller cb some of us don't use second difference i keep my back four in line, so allow us to choose, remove or keep the second caller option in settings 🤔 This will help us play like on console u gave us the option to select wy not mobile. Change is needed in FCM especially in controller settings .[CRITICAL BUG] Tradeable Player Status Flipped to Untradeable After Rank Up
I encountered a critical issue where a Tradeable player card became Untradeable immediately after I performed a Rank Up action. Specifically, I purchased the Marcus Rashford OVR 110 card from the Market for approximately 700 million Coins, confirming its Tradeable status. After using the necessary materials to Rank Up the card to Purple (Rank 3), the Untradeable symbol (🚫) appeared on the card, and the "Transfer" button became permanently locked. This contradicts the fundamental game mechanics, as a purchased Tradeable card should maintain its status after ranking, and I request an immediate investigation into this bug and a resolution for my card's trade status.Bring back variation and freedom.
Chemistry and Positions EA needs to drop the realism gimmick. This is a game, not a simulation. It makes no sense that a professional RW cant play LW because of position locks. Top athletes can adapt - maybe less effective, but still functional! The old chemistry drop (10 to 7) made far more sense when playing someone out of position. Let us manage our own club. It should be our tactical choice - not a system restriction. Bring back managerial freedom! Menus and Game Modes Neglect Every year we are told menus are revamped, yet they are never finished. Once sales targets are met, support stops. We were promised stadium customization back in 2021. Four years later, we still cant search or filter stadiums, kits, or badges, or the option to search for long sleeve kit. Moments mode was meant to be a fast, fun alternative to Squad Battles. It hasnt been updated for months. Formations and Tactical Imbalance Formation behavior has hit rock bottom. Old, balanced systems are now unplayable because of Roles and neglected tactical tuning. 4-3-2-1 needs a narrow variant with a CDM and inside forwards (LF/RF). 4-2-3-1 and 4-2-2-2 play like a 4-2-4. CAMs push too high. 4-4-2 (standard): CMs move higher than LM/RM, even with balanced instructions. Wide players ignore all defensive duties. Inside forwards, wingers, and wide midfielders do not respond to any defensive role. CMs Defensive midfielder yet the description says offers themselves in attacking phase. Wasn't he a defensive midfielder? 4-4-2 (2) CDM: Far too wide wingers, wide CDMs, wide strikers and unsynchronized. Huge gaps between lines, no compactness. Gameplay / Rewards Finishing is horrible. Power shots, driven shots, finesse - all unreliable unless tied to a PlayStyle+, which still is barely good enough. Competitive balance is gone; Division 1 players can lose to Division 10 opponents in chaotic, random matches because of the lack of tactical variation, lack of skill gap, and lack of attacking mechanics. Rewards/Red Picks were never the issue – the content inside them was. Bring them back with better rewards and Evo integration. Skill Expression and Reward Players who have mastered advanced mechanics – cancels, directional exits, ball rolls, McGeady cancels – aren’t rewarded anymore. The game rewards straight-line running and low-effort play over creativity or precision. Draft and Motivation Draft is the same as FIFA 19 – outdated interface, broken chemistry, repetitive teams. There’s no excitement left. Nobody pays 80 dollars to scroll menus and look at 45 different store packs. What EA Needs To Do – Add new and updated formations, including modern systems used by top managers. Rework and update all other formations. Manually fix formation width, attacking and defensive AI, and player positioning across all setups. Or give us the option ASAP until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Reduce the distance between the striker and the rest of the team – attacks constantly break apart. Fix 4-4-1-1, where CAM and ST push too far forward with no support. CMs should act as deep-lying playmakers who defend, not statues, and wingers must actively attack and defend until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Fix 4-2-3-1 so half-wingers actually track back, and Playmaker + Build Up creates a CAM that defends realistically like the come-back-on-defence mechanic until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. In 4-4-2 and 4-4-1-1, CMs should behave closer to CDMs, not acting like shadow strikers leaving all defensive duties until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Wingers in 4-4-2, 4-4-1-1 etc. must be able to track back, not stand still watching the defence suffer until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Buff finishing outside the box. Give all wingers the opportunity to play on both wings until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Bring back Red Picks. Fix Moments. Fix transfer market filters (stadiums, kits). Fix 4-2-3-1 CAMs and 4-2-2-2 half-wingers so they defend and stay compact. Fix CM behavior in 4-4-2 and 4-4-1-1 so they don’t stand still waiting to crash the box until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Allow wide midfielders and wingers to defend. Provide more Role+ and Role++ options for wide midfielders. Allow wingers to play in central formations (4321 / 4231 / 4222) until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Add a Defend and Support instruction for LM, RM, RW, LW, and CAM. Add a Stay Central option for CAM and ST. All these solutions would be half-decent until you bring back the legacy system. The game hasn’t been half-decent since the switch from FIFA to FC IQ. IQ is the biggest lie of them all. The tactical system peaked in 23, where we had 33 chem but could still play players out of position, like RW Jairzinho lining up at LW. Additionally: Does EA even realise how insanely hard it is to build a good team now? No red picks, no icon picks, no icon swaps, barely any player picks. I haven’t packed anything useful since FIFA 23. Everything is untradeable, so after months of grinding you sit with great players you can’t even fit. Imagine packing Jairzinho or Zidane and wanting them in 4222 or 4231 – what then? Zidane at CDM? Kaká out wide in 4411? It’s not a free game. We grind every week, coin balance sits at 10–20k, and we still get punished. And then I'm expected to bench Kaká or Jairzinho because the game won’t let me use my own players where I want? Just let us place our best cards anywhere like before. Stop forcing restrictions. We play the game – give us control over our own squads.Bring Back 4321 Classic Formation
Hello EA. For many years my favourite formation to layout my team was the 4321 which no longer exists on EA FC 26. It has now been changed to 3 CF’s or ST In attack.Before it was one Left Forward, One striker and One right forward in attack.Could you please kindly bring back this version of the 4321 so I am able to play my team with the attacking formation I love. Many thanks!
Controller keeps randomly glitching in Div rivals, but is fine in rush.
Every now and then I can play normally and then all of a sudden my keeper is running out, I can’t switch player and my players either keep passing really badly or run the ball out of play. Anyone able to help, people on Reddit have mentioned they have the same problem!!
