FC 26 Gameplay is Broken – Dribbling & Defending Completely Unrealistic
I want to raise a serious concern regarding gameplay in FC 26. I recently played a match where players like Gravenberch and Tonali were dribbling unrealistically inside the box, completely bypassing my defense. Even with high-rated defenders like 91-rated(defensive role) and Desailly, it was impossible to stop them. This felt extremely unrealistic and not reflective of real football. I also have video proof of this match. This brings up an important question — is this a gameplay glitch, broken mechanics, or are hackers involved? Because the level of dribbling and lack of defensive response felt unnatural. Another major issue is defending: AI defenders feel inactive or unresponsive Players just stand still unless manually controlled Defending feels completely manual and inconsistent This makes high-rated defenders feel useless, which defeats the purpose of building a strong team. Additionally, gameplay now heavily depends on “meta formations.” Earlier (FIFA 24 and before), we could use different formations based on skill and strategy. Now, only certain formations seem viable, which reduces creativity and fairness. It feels like gameplay quality has dropped significantly since the transition from FIFA to FC. Despite many complaints from the community, there hasn’t been noticeable improvement. Many players invest time and money into this game expecting a fair and realistic football experience, but currently it feels frustrating and unbalanced. Please address: Unrealistic dribbling mechanics Weak and unresponsive defending AI Possible exploit or hacking concerns Over-reliance on meta tactics We still support this game because we love football, but the current experience is disappointing and needs urgent attention.I have lost all hope for FC games
They have consistently put out mediocre titles for years now and frankly it’s kind of insulting that there seems to be no genuine improvement. I’m convinced they don’t care at all and it’s ENTIRELY about the money. The games are almost IDENTICAL copy and paste jobs from year to year, besides one small addition that they promote the hell out of before the new game comes out so they trick everyone into buying it. It’s never that good realistically. It’s just decline, decline, decline from here on out imo and i will not be spending my hard earned money on what i can best describe as a stinky pile of poo
I can't make subs or tactical changes!
Many games i can't even access the team tactics, im completely locked out, AND i can't make assignments EVER, they reset as soon as i enter a match making me have women on corners to defend and stuff. This is getting really annoying and costing me so many games it's crazy, they need to **bleep**ing fix this im loosing my mind, have been in contact with ea help, last time i was in que for 7 hrs and didn't even get to talkC:\Users\Algip\Desktop\He made subs.png to anyone. EA is a criminal orginization at this point. What is going on??????? I will attach a 120minute match, don't you think i wanted to make subs or tactical changes for 120minutes???Rewinding companies 1 of 5 86+
In the team selection test, 86+ collected a full pack in the web version on his phone, opened it, but before he could select a player, the pack and the app closed. After reloading the store, there was nothing, and the player was gone. He contacted the developers, who said they would fix it and asked him to post on the forum.massive input lag, online latency, unplayable game
Massive input lag, massive latency in online modes. Passes come out late, player switching is the same. It is impossible to play properly in Clubs, Seasons, or Ultimate Team. Nothing works the way it should. This game is disastrous. I tried absolutely everything on my end for hours: NVIDIA, Windows, cache, files, forums, videos, tutorials, AI, everything. EVERYTHING. If the game is in this state, it is not because I do not know how to optimize it, it is because it is badly made. It is not normal for a player to spend more time looking for solutions just to make the game playable than actually playing it. In short, total failure. Trash company, trash developers, trash servers, trash optimization, trash stability. Everything is trash in this game. I do not see a single positive point. The experience is catastrophic from beginning to end.😘EA Sports Support / Terms of Service Team
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally express my extreme frustration regarding the ongoing "No Loss" disconnection exploit currently ruining the competitive experience in EA Sports FC 26. Despite the recent anti-cheat updates (specifically the March 24, 2024, patch), the game remains in a broken state for players who are attempting to play fairly. I have consistently encountered opponents who trigger a disconnection the moment they begin losing or immediately after I score. The specific issues I am experiencing are: * Match Under Review Loop: Upon an opponent's forced disconnect, I am met with the "Match Under Review" message. These wins are never credited to my record, resulting in wasted time and lost rewards in Champions and Rivals. * Exploit Persistence: It is clear that the current anti-cheat measures are failing to detect network-based manipulation or "Golden Goal" glitches that allow players to quit without receiving a loss. * Competitive Integrity: This glitch is currently rampant in high-stakes modes like The Gauntlet and Weekend League, making it impossible to progress or achieve ranks based on skill. As a paying customer, it is unacceptable that a core mechanic of the game—winning a match—is being bypassed by cheaters with no repercussions. The "Match Under Review" system is currently being weaponized against legitimate players. I am requesting that this be escalated to the technical team. Players need more than just "backend updates"; we need a system that recognizes when a player has intentionally disconnected while trailing in a match and awards the win accordingly. I look forward to a response regarding how EA intends to compensate players for lost time and missed rewards due to these server-side failures.Allow Custom Transfers for Classic Teams in Online Friendlies
Hey everyone, I’ve been playing EA Sports FC for over 20 years, and to this day the main mode I play is Online Friendlies with a friend on Xbox. It’s honestly the only mode we use, and we’ve been doing this for years. First off, huge appreciation for adding the Classic XI / legendary teams offline. That was an awesome addition and brings a lot of nostalgia into the game. You crushed it with that. That said, I think there’s a big opportunity to make this even better. It would be amazing if we could edit or transfer players within these classic teams, just like we can with regular clubs. Imagine being able to: Build your own “ultimate” XI from the legends available Customize teams for friendlies Create themed squads (prime Barca, Galácticos, etc.) Right now, we’re limited to the preset squads, which are great, but having the freedom to mix and match players would take Online Friendlies to another level. Not sure if this is something already being considered, but I’d love to see it implemented. Curious if others here would use this too.Playstation Ban and My EA Account
Hello, My PlayStation account has been permanently banned due to messages I posted that I didn't send. I can't find anyone to appeal to, and I have an Ultimate Team on my EA account that I've put a lot of effort into, but I can't play matches with it because PlayStation banned me for messages I didn't send. I kindly request your help in linking my EA account to another PlayStation account. Many people are suffering from this problem, and a lot of our hard work has gone to waste. Please do something about this; PlayStation banned us, took away our right to appeal, we can't find anyone to help, and we can't log in with our EA account. We need your support to link our EA account to another PlayStation account and prevent our Ultimate Team account from being deleted. Best regards.
Unable to Create or Rename Squads/Change Club Name,Ongoing Account Issue on FC24
Hello EA Team, I would like to formally report an ongoing issue that has been affecting my account for the past few days approximately 2–3 days. I am currently unable to create or rename squads, and I am also unable to change my club name. Every time I attempt to do so, I receive the following error messages: “Failed to create a squad”“ ''Failed to rename squad” When changing my club name: “Your entry is filtered because it may be used to offend or harass other players, which breaks our user agreement. Please enter a different text and try again.” This happens regardless of what text I enter. Even neutral names such as Squad123, Test123, or Squad777 do not work. The issue is persistent and does not depend on the wording used. I have already attempted the following troubleshooting steps: Cleared cache, cleared FC24 folder from my documents, clearing my squad in game redownload Uninstalled and reinstalled the game multiple times, and many other thing's i tyred... Unfortunately, none of these actions resolved the issue, which strongly suggests this is an account-related problem rather than a local or client-side error. This issue has significantly affected my ability to enjoy the game I paid for and has caused unnecessary frustration and loss of time while trying to fix something that appears to be beyond my control. I kindly ask that someone from EA reviews my account and resolves this issue as soon as possible. I am looking for an official response and a proper fix so I can fully enjoy the game. Thank you for your time and assistance. Kind regards, PeakyBruders
