CHEATERS
Hackers ruined the experience for PC players from the very first week of FC 25. Cheats were available for purchase on DAY ONE, and the game quickly became unfair and unplayable. Many of us quit not because the game was bad, but because it stopped being competitive and fun. If FC 26 doesn't launch with a strong anti-cheat system from day one, you're going to lose a whole segment of your community in the first week.
FC 26 PRO CLUBS THREAD AND DISCUSSION ( IMPORTANT )
this will be a repost from my fifa 22 forums post, fifa 24 forums post and fifa 14 - 15 forums post ( i got banned in all of them ) and everything still applies: Starting from fifa 10-14 fifa Pro clubs was the best mode You could play . 11 vs 11 With human players the beauty of getting actual 22 players like the real life sport and a collective effort towards a goal felt unreal . After that the game mechanics changed to run down the wing simulator Where you have 1 short guy (because tall guys can never be fast) and 1 Tall guy and the short guy runs down the wing holding right trigger on your controller and presses the cross button and tall guy heads it in . It became a game that only required you to spam X button on your controller and you’ll spam away until it works and it will work . Now I’ve been fortunate enough to play in custom organized 11 vs 11 leagues since FIFA 11 . Ranked 1 club in the world to leagues like VIFA , VPSA , VPFL , iFVPAA international, VFL , IVL , WPSA , ELITE FC , FIFA K1NGZ , l Ambitious l these are clubs in XBOX and custom leagues 11 v 11 all organized by third parties with large number of players because FIFA doesn’t want it to get a competitive platform going for clubs . There was a time where people were genuinely interested in investing their time off their real life with no pay but for the passion of the specific pro clubs where the wins were satisfying and losses felt emotional . FIFA pro clubs had and still has such a potential . I’ve posted a thread in this forum 11 years ago about clubs where I proposed ideas such as : 1) ADD A SUBSTITUTION OPTION ( where if your friends join late they can be be subbed in instead of a bot if you are playing regular division club matches it’s bots and only 2 members ) 2) ADD A SPECTATOR MODE ( where if a player wishes they can sit in the bench and watch a live game as it’s being played I know someone can stream but watching a game from in game is better since if you play competitive leagues you may have more than 11 players on at the same time and based on your competitive matches you can spectate and make decisions into next game subbing people on and off while they literally watch the game from the bench making it actually realistic . 3) ADD PAID DLC so EA actually gives a s*** . It’s very clear EA does not make money off pro clubs and ultimate team is the money maker mode with all the micro transactions and that’s why they stopped caring about pro clubs mode . Now this Idea allows them to atleast make some sort of money and get more support for clubs and get some sort of motivation to help improve hardcore pro clubs players . 4)BRING BACK lobbies and 11 v 11 modes and drop ins . Yes I know it was chaotic and people fighting for same spots but atleast you didn’t constantly just play 1 v 1 in empty lobbies . The point of this mode is multiplayer and the chaos it brings but it’s beautiful when everyone works together and you are rewarded . There’s also a mode once upon a time where you could play 11 v 11 with irl players in lobbies that’s also been taken away from us .. for no reason Here I am at my mid - late 20s just reminiscing and reminding myself that I made this exact post 11 years ago posting 3 constructive feedback as a customer who cares about the game mode and willing to pay a little bit more to see a little bit more . But I know posting a constructive comment or feedback will get me permanently banned on this forums again . It’s the end of this mode it’s unfortunate the population of the pro clubs dropped 196% past 10 years gradually .. it’s 2022 moving into 2023 you can’t tell me adding 2 things that’s really hard for them ? Just 1 or 2 actual features ?? Instead of just renaming “traits” into “archetypes “ or changing specialties into “perks” these are not improving the game it’s showing veterans that you don’t care anymore about the game anymore because money runs the world . I have no words but to just say this I had to let it out and I know my ideas are not perfect but atleast I tried . I’m from Vancouver British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 where the FIFA franchise has been made . I’m out thanks for the read if EA doesn’t permanently ban me and censor me I’m sure you’ll be able to read this . FIFA 23 is the Last ever FIFA since EA lost licensing and it has been an era of huge disappointment and they let all of down with no effort. They don't care as long as the money comes in. Now with FIFA 25 and 24 we had issues with drop ins not finding players to people hacking in FC 25 clubs modes or glitching to slow down defenders. The gameplay is dead and 10 year old games now perform better. updated add on : Instead of focusing on 1.2 Billion hair and audience animations which no one cares about why not focus on fixing gameplay , adding all the features requested to pro clubs.. or is it the greed of ultimate team packs and micro transactions thats preventing you from doing it? It is The end of what was to be best of our times . They had multiple chances to resolve multiple years to add and improve.... but now its gone. Forever a memory that cannot be re-lived again. Now with FIFA giving up ON EA the only thing they have added is "CROSS-PLAY" within same generations thats their only real "Feature" still you cannot substitute players into a match. This game the potential to be a major E-SPORT ground since 2012 if they played their cards right and maybe into top E-SPORT platform and even in Olympic E-SPORT for pro clubs 11vs11. At this point EA should just delete and close the franchise. Instead of faking it and renaming old conventions such as "traits" now being called "playstyles" then calling it a "new thing" just stop pretending and delete the franchise since you failed and get back to making a proper game like battlefield. Dont put half effort into it just go all in with full effort or give up completely . Dont waste your own time or your customers time faking it the whole time. You gave up on us ... and we will give up on you. This year is your last chance to redeem yourself as a final note before you file for bankruptcy. I know admins will ban me yet again for expressing a VALID and Legit concern as a paying customer. As usual...ICONS in offline modes
Hi EA Team, I wanted to raise a suggestion that I believe many offline players would truly appreciate. Right now, ICONS are only available in online modes like Ultimate Team, but it's really disappointing that we can’t use them in offline modes such as Tournament Mode or Career Mode. As someone who prefers offline play, it feels like we’re missing out on one of the most exciting parts of the game. Why shouldn’t offline players get the same chance to enjoy legendary players? I'd love to recreate historic lineups and relive football nostalgia: Roberto Carlos and R9 (Ronaldo Nazário) back in Real Madrid Eric Cantona donning the red of Manchester United again Alan Shearer leading the line for Newcastle There’s so much potential for fun, replayability, and immersion when ICONS are made available across all modes, not just online. It’s frustrating that this amazing content is locked away if you’re not playing FUT. Please consider enabling ICONS for use in offline modes. Whether it's through squad editing, default rosters, or an unlock system, it would make a huge difference to fans who enjoy offline experiences just as much as the online community. Thanks for listening, and I hope this is something we can see changed.
Title: Dynamic AI Behavior Based on Opponent Analysis and Difficulty Level
Suggestion: I suggest improving the CPU’s artificial intelligence by making it analyze the opponent’s playing style and adapt its behavior accordingly. This would make the gameplay feel more realistic and challenging, especially in Career Mode. Currently, CPU difficulty levels mostly affect speed, passing accuracy, and pressure. But I propose that the AI should also change how it reacts based on how the user plays. 🔹 For example: – If the opponent focuses on wing play, the AI should tighten wide areas and press fullbacks. – If the opponent relies on short passes in the middle, the AI should close down the midfield. – If the opponent is weak in aerial duels, the AI should attempt more long balls and crosses. 🔸 This adaptive behavior should scale with difficulty: – Beginner: basic reactions, simple positioning – Legendary: advanced tactical reactions, dynamic formation shifts, targeted pressing 🎯 The goal is to make the CPU feel less scripted and more like a human opponent — reacting, adapting, and trying to counter the user’s strength in real-time. This kind of intelligent AI would greatly improve immersion and competitiveness in both offline and online modes.Idea for realistic transfers
Give players and clubs reputation based on how highly rated they are for example Man City 5 stars they can sign any player due to having a high reputation whereas Bournemouth maybe 3 or 3.5 stars and they can only sign certain players because of their small reputation Ratings can also be considered for example 40-63 rated are 1 star 64-74 are 2 stars 75-82 are 3 stars 83-88 are 4 stars 89+ is 5 stars this all depends on the clubs history of trophies and it can increase when they win trophies and players reputation increases when their overall goes up You could also change it to 10 stars instead to widen the variety which would probably be a lot better and this is my idea of making transfers realistic
Among the things we hope FC26 will improve
As a passionate fan of the EA SPORTS FC series, I’m excited for FC 26 and all the new features it may bring. However, I’d like to share a few things I truly hope will be improved this year — especially when it comes to immersion and realism in animations. For example: • When players walk out onto the pitch with children, their hands often don’t touch — there’s a noticeable gap, which breaks the sense of realism. • During pre-match handshakes between players, either the hands don’t meet, or one hand awkwardly clips into the other. • After scoring, celebrations like hugs often feel lifeless — players don’t really touch, or arms unrealistically pass through bodies. • And one of the most emotional moments — lifting the trophy — sometimes falls short visually. Hands float over the handles, or the trophy clips into the player's hands instead of feeling like a real, weighty object. These moments matter because they are the emotional highlights of football. Fixing these animation gaps would go a long way in making FC 26 feel more immersive, lifelike, and rewarding to play. We love this game and believe in its potential to keep getting better. Thank you for your hard work — we’re looking forward to what’s next.Ai your face on your career player
Hey just a quick one to the Ea sports community. How cool is it in career modes you see your players name in the squad then as a substitute then in the starting eleven. The you make your player look as much like you as can. But it's just always a generic look. Imagine you could use AI and have your face loaded onto your avatar player so all the photo shot and boxed photos are actual you. Imagine getting subbed on and when the pop up photos of the interchanging players are shown and your face is on your avatar wouldn't that be awesome EA please look into this Lawrence
