EA's dev team is incompetent and dumb
The game was fine. Everyone seemed to be able to enjoy it. And EA said (in a dumb voice) "Lets make the game less fun and unplayable". 0 reason to change the game so much. Fix the bugs but just stop changing it. And its not like we can do something like go to a different game because FC26 is basically a monopoly but legalized. 0 competition so they can give us trash and we'll eat it. Its lazy and when they said they were going to listen to the community. THAN LISTEN EA. Just give us our game back and more people would enjoy it.as a goalkeeper
as a goalkeeper using the shared camera. I've noticed an error when making saves; for example, if I move the goalkeeper to the right corner, he moves forward, and sometimes to the other side. Occasionally, the goalkeeper freezes. It seems there's a problem with the camera and goalkeeper settings. When I set it to a professional goalkeeper, the saves are excellent, but I'm used to the shared camera. Please fix this issuNot 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.
Win Objective in Black Friday Live Friendlies
The hype around the Black Friday Flash Friendlies is great, but it all falls flat when you realise that you won't be able to compete the overall objective because you have to win a match in the day 1 requirements ... many of us are not so good at PvP, so that's the entire event done and dusted on the first day because the objective is impossible. A real shame, because it looked like it would have been a fun promotion with some half decent rewards.Suggestion Title: “ About Classic Leagues and Classic Teams and more in EA FC 26
Hello EA Sports team and dear FC community, 🙂 The EA FC series continues to evolve each year, setting new standards for football gaming. However, there is one feature that could elevate this amazing experience even further — a feature that carries both nostalgic value and tremendous gameplay depth. On behalf of players all around the world, I would like to present the following request: Adding Classic Leagues and Classic Teams and more to EA FC 26 Why Classic Leagues and Classic Teams? Football is not just about the present. It is a global culture built by legendary eras, unforgettable teams, and iconic leagues that live on in the memories of millions. Bringing these historical periods into the game would offer a powerful experience for nostalgic fans while also introducing younger players to the roots of football greatness. How Would This Feature Improve the Game? Unique Gameplay Variety Iconic squads from the 90s and 2000s would add incredible depth and diversity. The tactics, kits, team identities, and playstyles of past eras would enrich the overall experience. Enhances All Game Modes Kick-Off, Tournament, Career Mode, and even Ultimate Team could benefit from exclusive classic content. Special themes like “Classic Seasons,” “Retro Tournaments,” “Legends League,” and more could keep players deeply engaged. Strong Community Demand For years, one of the most requested features among the player base has been the return of classic teams. Introducing them would significantly boost player satisfaction and community loyalty. A Worldwide Demand This suggestion is not just mine—it's one of the most consistent and widely supported requests across social media, forums, and community discussions. Bringing classic content to EA FC 26 would create a perfect balance between nostalgia and innovation, appealing to both old-school fans and the new generation of players. Adding classic leagues (e.g., 90s Premier League, 90’s and 2000s Serie A, early 2000s La Liga, etc.) Restoring legendary club rosters (such as 1996 and 2003’s Juventus, 2005 AC Milan, 2008 Barcelona, 1999 Manchester United, 2002 Galatasaray, 1998 Real Madrid and more) Implementing era-specific kits, ball designs, stadium atmospheres, and tactical styles to accurately reflect each period Conclusion The EA FC series has inspired millions of players across generations. Incorporating classic leagues and teams would further strengthen this legacy, delivering a richer and more complete football experience for both long-time fans and newcomers. We truly hope the EA Sports team will consider this request on behalf of the global community. Finally If these classic squads and teams are brought into the game, the current pool of ICON players will no longer be sufficient to create complete and authentic rosters. For example, to accurately represent a classic Juventus team, players such as Edgar Davids, Alessio Tacchinardi, David Trezeguet, and many more must be added. This is essential for delivering a fully immersive and accurate experience. We kindly request that this point be given special consideration. We ask for retro boots to be included and assigned to classic players. Iconic models like the Adidas Predator Precision and Predator Mania should be visible on the feet of legends such as Del Piero, Zidane, and Beckham. This would greatly enhance authenticity and nostalgia for players around the world. Thank you! 😉BRING BACK WIDTH ADJUSTMENT + FIX FORMATIONS AND ROLES!
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 (4-3-2-1 / 4-2-3-1 / 4-2-2-2) 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. 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. Example of why, EA should allow us to field our best XI: Pretty sure, i had nothing else than bronzes left in the club, after grinding, Cruyff, Jairzinho, Kaka, Alonso, Zidane, Cafu, Ramos all were SBC! 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.
