Deliberate Defensive Sabotage to Please Pro Players
It is very clear that the defensive changes introduced in the latest update were not accidental or the result of a bug. This downgrade feels deliberate. Defensive AI has been intentionally weakened to favor professional players, streamers, and high-paced offensive gameplay. Defenders now behave irrationally, leave massive gaps without reason, fail to mark attackers, and react far too late. This is not “skill gap” — it is forced incompetence. These changes do not reward tactical defending, positioning, or anticipation. Instead, they manufacture mistakes in the defensive AI to increase goal frequency and make attacking easier for a small, vocal group of competitive players. The result is an unbalanced and frustrating experience for the majority of the player base. If gameplay decisions are being driven primarily by feedback from professionals and content creators, then the core football experience is being sacrificed. A football game should reward intelligence and discipline, not artificially created defensive errors. This update has reduced realism, balance, and player control. It needs to be reconsidered.
lighting seems darker in friendlys/Champions compared to rivals/squad battles?
I noticed when playing friendlys and champions that the pitch / stadium lighting seemed darker and kind of washed out compared to when playing rivals/squad battles/moments for example, I am using the default UT stadium and here is a side by side comparison: I am the home team in both screenshots and I try to set the "time of day" on the pre match settings to 22.00 always, (but sometimes it resets automatically to 12.00 for some reason?) if you look at the picture on the right side I think it is obvious the lighting is not the same as on the left one, this is maybe not a huge problem but it would be nice to have that perfect looking pitch and lighting in champions and friendlys as well not just in squadbattles/rivals, as long as I am the home team at least, if you look at the player shadows for example you can see they are much thicker/darker on the right side picture, in previous FC titles this difference was not present for example, seems like some oversight or not intended at least ! I am on PC but looking at different streamers when they play Champions on playstation 5 it seems like this problem is present for everyone, everyone has this dark/washed out lighting when playing champions? cheersNot getting wins when the opponent quits
Please can something be done about players quitting the game when they're losing and the opponent does not get the win. I play online Seasons and almost every game the opponent quits when I am in a winning position. They either wait till 80+ minutes to quit or if they're losing by a big scoreline, they will quit the game immediately and I will not get the win nor will there be a record to show I played that opponent. Sometimes they will cheat by pausing the game, do something to quit and a message will show "you have lost connection to your opponent..." Sometimes the disconnection will be immediately after you score (almost instantly) and you will not get the win and there will be no record of that game. And finally, they also cheat by stop playing after you score. The game will restart from the centre circle and the opponent will not move at all, then after approximately a minute you will lose connection to your opponent and not get the win etc. The level of frustration this causes when people are doing it almost every game is immense and I will not play online Seasons anymore until this issue is fixed. I hope EA will do something about it.Bring Back Online 2v2 Friendlies QUEUE in FC 26 Ultimate Team – We Miss It! ⚽️
Hey EA Team and FC Community! The Problem: In EA Sports FC 25, Ultimate Team had an awesome Online Friendlies Queue where you could queue up as 2 players (co-op) against another 2 players queuing at the same time. We used our UT squads, it was pure fun battling friends without randoms! 😎 But in FC 26, this feature is completely GONE. Now, "Play vs Friend" is 1v1 only (invite one friend), and no 2v2 queue/matchmaking. Couch Play is local only. We're stuck using workarounds like Co-op Division Rivals (which doesn't always match us). Why It Matters: Social Goldmine: Me + my buddy vs. our two other friends, all online from home. Epic sessions, trash talk on Discord, testing squads head-to-head! Keeps Us Playing: Without this, UT feels empty for friend groups. Thousands of players (including me from Egypt) are missing those vibes. It Was There Before: Why remove a fan-favorite? We want UT squads in 2v2 online friendlies! My Suggestion: Restore the 2v2 Queue in UT Friendlies – Queue together, match vs other queuing duos (with skill-based matchmaking if possible). OR Add Direct 2v2 Invite: Let 4 friends create rooms (2v2) using UT squads online. Bonus: Custom rules, stadiums, half-length like before.Family Issue: Two FUT Accounts Can’t Use Their Own Squads
I’m raising this as a family / household issue, not a gameplay exploit or competitive complaint. In our home, my son and I both love football and playing EA SPORTS FC. We each have: Our own EA accounts Our own FUT clubs that we’ve spent time building Active console subscriptions One shared console, like most families We were genuinely excited to play Ultimate Team together, only to discover that we cannot use our own FUT squads on the same console, even in local or friendly matches. This was honestly really disappointing. We’ve both invested hours building teams we’re proud of, and instead of enjoying that together, we’re forced to take turns or share one squad. For a game that promotes connection and community, this feels unfair and not designed with families in mind. We’re not asking for shortcuts, shared progression, or competitive advantages — just the simple ability for a parent and child to play together using their own FUT squads on one console. This would mean a lot to families like ours and would turn a frustrating limitation into a genuinely positive experience.
