against tricksters
In the online Seasons mode, there are times when I am about to win a match, only for my opponent to suddenly disappear in the final minute—resulting in the match being treated as if it never took place. All the effort I’ve put into the game goes to waste. This has happened to me more than ten times. It is quite clear that those who quit in the final minute are cheating. EA needs to find a solution to this—though I’m not even sure if there’s anyone on the other end who actually cares. I even sent an email to EA regarding one such incident, including a screenshot and a video as evidence, but I never received a response. I suspect that individuals who engage in this behavior face no sanctions whatsoever. We submit complaints, but they prove to be completely ineffective. It is essential that more concrete solutions are implemented. You need to find more realistic solutions. The game has lost its appeal. You are ignoring these things. In the long run, you could lose a great deal. These are usually Xbox players.
Broken unplayable mess!
This game never fails to reach a new low. Just when you think it cannot possibly get any worse, EA Sports somehow manages to prove everyone wrong. Congratulations! At least you're consistent at something. HERE'S A RADICAL IDEA, EA SPORTS: PLAY YOUR OWN GAME! Actually sit down and experience this broken, chaotic, unfinished, unresponsive mess you've had the audacity to release as a supposedly finished product. Then perhaps you'll finally understand what your customers have been telling you for YEARS. At this point, I genuinely cannot work out which is more embarrassing: your inability to produce functioning gameplay or your complete inability to understand what a customer complaint actually is. Instead of acknowledging the glaring problems, you behave as though criticism is some kind of personal attack. You have perfected the art of playing the professional victim while demonstrating an almost supernatural ability to avoid accountability. Your customers report problems. You dismiss them. Your customers provide evidence. You ignore it. Your customers demand improvements. You deliver another broken edition and expect applause. The level of denial is genuinely astonishing. Let's make something perfectly clear: releasing a game every year does not mean you've successfully developed one. Slapping a new number on the box, recycling the same problems and charging full price for another unfinished product is not innovation. It's an embarrassment. Your gameplay is fundamentally broken. Your mechanics are inconsistent. Your player statistics regularly appear meaningless. Your AI behaves like it operates under an entirely different set of rules. And your response to years of legitimate criticism? Apparently, pretending everything is working as intended. You haven't mastered football simulation. You've mastered the art of turning basic gameplay into an exercise in frustration. The most remarkable achievement here isn't the game itself. It's your extraordinary confidence in a product that repeatedly fails to deliver the most basic requirement of any video game: BEING PLAYABLE AND FUN. You don't need another marketing campaign. You don't need another fancy trailer. You don't need another collection of meaningless promises. YOU NEED TO PLAY YOUR OWN GAME, UNDERSTAND HOW FOOTBALL WORKS, LEARN SOME BASIC MATHEMATICS AND FINALLY ACCEPT THAT YOUR PRODUCT IS NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE. And perhaps the most insulting part of all? You still seem genuinely convinced you've created a masterpiece. EA SPORTS: IT'S NOT IN THE GAME. APPARENTLY, NEITHER IS QUALITY CONTROL, ACCOUNTABILITY OR COMMON SENSE. Go-ahead and feel offended instead of fixing the gameplay! Who cares, right?ban A SPAMMING
ALL PLAYERS NEED TO DO IS SPAM A AND THEY WIN THE BALL EVERY TIME AND MAKE DEFENDING EASIER TO STAY INFRONT OF PLAYERS BECAUSE ITS LIKE THE ATTACKER HAS A BUBBLE AROUND THEM UNTIL YOU START ATTACKING. THE PACE SYSTEM DOESNT MAKE SENSE, YOUR OPPONENT ALWAYS IS FASTER THAN YOUR DEFENDERS BUT YOU IN THE SAME POSITION HOLDING SPRINT IS SLOW??? AND WHY IS DRIBBLING SO BAD THE ONLY DRIBBLE PEOPLE KNOW IS LT AND SPIN.Club Consumables
Urgent Request to EA Sports: Restore the Pro Clubs Consumables Store in FC 26 To the EA Sports FC Development and Live Operations Teams We are writing to formally request the restoration of the Pro Clubs Consumables Store in EA Sports FC 26. On September 11, 2026, the catalog was completely emptied on the server side, leaving active players with broken menus, "undefined" item slots, and completely useless Club Coins. This change was implemented with zero prior notice, zero in-game countdown banners, and zero official announcements. Why This Needs to Be Fixed: Incredibly Low Technical Effort: As a global leader in gaming infrastructure, EA knows that keeping this store live requires virtually no ongoing development. The interface, the item assets, and the database architecture are already coded into the client. It simply requires leaving a static, permanent catalog active on your backend servers rather than enforcing an expiration date. Respect Your Active Player Base: A massive, dedicated community still actively logs hours and grinds competitive matches in FC 26. Completely disabling the primary progression and XP acceleration mechanics overnight fundamentally damages the product we paid for. Value for Currency: Many players spent months accumulating Club Coins specifically to invest in their Pro's development. Wiping out the store without warning leaves players holding a worthless currency, which severely damages community trust. Our Request: We do not expect live content updates, seasonal promos, or active moderation. We simply ask that you re-populate the database with a static, permanent batch of standard XP multipliers and consumables so the game remains functional and fair for those who choose to play it. Leaving the store in an "undefined" state is a poor reflection of product quality. Flipping the switch to restore basic, static functionality is an incredibly easy fix that would mean the world to your loyal community. Bring back FC 26 Club Consumables.
The 95 Depth Has To Be Fixed Thread...
Hi EA_Claus I mean I am going to mention it here as these are the official forums but I'm sure you are very aware from social media with the likes of X and Reddit that the 95 Extreme defensive line depth is being abused beyond belief in online modes. You have to stop the auto offside and have to tone down the aggression from the AI. As much as you are telling and selling us a manual defensive game you are also lying to the community because 95 Depth (magic number) is pretty much a defensive cheat code to allow the AI to set automatic offside trap and hunt you down like men possessed. It is not fair and makes for an ugly game. Sure, if your opponent is doing this then play slow out to the wings, pass back one while sending the winger on a run and lob ball it. You might stay onside and get through on goal. BUT. This is not football and is not fun game after game. There is no imagination from the opponents and then all the beautiful types of goals that could be scored now can't be because this defensive line cheat changes the dynamics of someone's attack. Sure, playing one in twenty people who used this would not be so bad but playing 19 out of 20 who do ruins this game. Please nerf it for the love of the game.
It is sad to see what this game has become
I have been playing FIFA and Ultimate Team for many years, and it is honestly sad to see what this game has become. You have removed a lot of the AI defending, which is fine, but the dribbling mechanics are now completely overpowered. Almost every match looks the same. Pass, pass, turn with the back towards the goal, spin in circles, repeat. Players abuse the same mechanics over and over because they are the most effective way to play. This is no longer the football game that made this franchise popular. Football should be about passing, movement, tactical decisions, creativity and teamwork. Instead, too many matches look like one player spinning endlessly until a defensive animation breaks. I hope you will fix this direction because it is not surprising that fewer and fewer players are enjoying the game. Many normal football fans are leaving, while only those willing to abuse the same repetitive mechanics remain. I also hope that one day there will be real competition in football gaming again, because no real football player would spend an entire match spamming this type of unrealistic spinning and dribbling. Please bring football back to FC.squad battles fut26 - overpowered AI
This POST is NOT about handicapping, momentum, or DDA!!!!!!! I DO NOT THINK THOSE MECHANICS EXISTS IN THE GAME!!!! This is a statement about the game’s very poor understanding and application of numerical values, mathematical calculations, and the algorithms that are supposed to translate player stats into actual gameplay. Fix the ridiculously overpowered and borderline unplayable AI in Squad Battles. At this point, the mode is zero fun because the gameplay constantly ignores the most basic logic of player stats. 83 Pace AI > 99 Pace User Player And it isn't just pace. The same nonsense happens with strength, passing, reactions, defending, agility and pretty much every other stat. The game seems completely incapable of consistently translating the numbers presented on the cards into what actually happens on the pitch. At times it genuinely feels like confused.com: football edition EA, you seriously need to review the mathematics behind this game. And please note — I know this may come as a shocking mathematical revelation: 99 > 83. ALWAYS. A 99 Pace player should not be easily outrun by 83 Pace AI player. Maybe hiring someone with average mathematical skills would be a good starting point, because after all these years I still shouldn't have to explain that 99 is a greater number than 83 but here we are. The cards have stats for a reason, if not remove the stats altogether. If those stats don't translate into gameplay, then what exactly is the point of upgrading our teams? What is the point of 99 pace? What is a point to obtain higher rated players, if the AI makes a bronze card OVERPOWERED? Please fix Squad Battles and make the gameplay actually respect the attributes displayed on the cards for both user and AI. And let the numbers on the screen and the football on the pitch actually speak the same language. Ta,

f you're a player who cares about realism and fair mechanics in FC 26 — please support this post. Your voice matters. This is a question directed to the game developers. I’ve invested nearly 2,900 hours into FC 26, and I can honestly say — without a shadow of doubt — I consider myself an expert in set-pieces, especially free kicks. And that’s exactly why I’ve noticed something that doesn’t quite add up. Let me explain. https://youtu.be/VQ2jOXm1AVM
