Free kick 168 km.h
Hello dear readers and developers, if you're actually reading this. I have played 1900 hours of Pro Clubs in FC 26. I noticed that with 90 overall and the gold "Brain Architect" specialization, the ball speed never goes above 168 km/h. Even if you set shot power to 99, the ball speed doesn't increase — is this by design, or is there a problem here? I fill all the bars to the very end — meaning -3.7 bars. And it's no secret to those who love taking free kicks that the last segment (the fourth bar) is further divided into 8 bars, with the 8th being the final one — and that's the point of overcharging the power. Now, I have scored many goals with that final bar, and the ball speed ranged from 158 to 168 km/h. Knuckleball did not enhance this shot. The question is: does the Architect specialization on a midfielder actually increase free kick power to the maximum? Is that really the case, because I tested this and there is no difference between 90 and 99 if you have the gold specialization Letme know if you'd like any adjustments to the tone or phrasing.
Season Pass and Companion app
I've had problems with both entering seasonal pass and objectives and also had problems with the futweb app, i want to be able to access the whole game i paid for so i need this fixed NOW. I already tried every single useless "solution" that they told me and it still doesn't work so what else can i do?FC26 ONLINE GAMEPLAY ISSUE
l am playing FC 26 on a PlayStation 5 Digital Slim and I have been experiencing a very serious gameplay problem for a long time. During certain periods, sometimes lasting for weeks or even months, online gameplay becomes almost unplayable for me. My players suddenly become extremely slow, unresponsive, and unable to react properly during matches. Player movement feels delayed and inaccurate, especially when defending or switching toward opponents. The strange part is that my internet ping remains stable at around 31ms both when the game feels normal and when the issue happens. There is no visible connection warning, but gameplay quality becomes completely different. Symptoms include: • Very slow player reactions • Delayed inputs • Incorrect player switching and positioning • Players moving toward strange directions while defending • Sprint speed and acceleration feeling heavily reduced • Gameplay feeling extremely heavy and delayed • Conceding many goals because players cannot respond properly I mainly play Online Seasons, Online Friendlies, and Ultimate Team. An important detail is that I have been playing regularly against the same friend in Istanbul for about one year. Sometimes he experiences the exact same issue for weeks and cannot play properly at all, while I can easily beat him. Then the situation reverses and I become unable to play properly for weeks while he beats me easily. This makes us believe there may be a server synchronization, gameplay balancing, or connection quality issue beyond normal player performance. Platform: PlayStation 5 Digital Slim Location: Istanbul, Turkey Connection Type: Wi-Fi Average Ping: 31ms At this point, the issue has become extremely frustrating and I am close to quitting the game entirely. Could you please investigate whether there may be: • server synchronization problems, • gameplay delay issues, • lag compensation problems, • routing issues for Turkey servers, • or any known gameplay responsiveness bugs affecting FC 26?
Support Process Question: EA Help vs EA Forums
Dear EA Sports, I was advised by the EA Sports Support team (EA Help) to raise my concerns and issues with the game on the EA Forums, and I was assured that developers and relevant teams are active here. However, despite creating multiple posts outlining my concerns, none of them have been acknowledged by EA staff. I have worked in a corporate environment for over 25 years, and I must say that this level of communication falls well below the standard one would normally expect from a customer support structure. What I find particularly confusing is the process itself. EA Help, which is meant to support customers, redirects players to these forums to raise issues. Yet once customers follow that direction, it appears that no meaningful engagement takes place. From a customer perspective, this creates a situation where players are effectively moved from one support channel to another without their concerns actually being addressed. The only time I received a response was when a post included a three-letter word that apparently violated forum rules. That post received attention immediately, yet the actual concern raised in the post was not addressed in the response. This sends a rather unfortunate message that moderation is active, but meaningful engagement with the issues themselves is not. As a long-standing customer, this is disappointing. I have been playing EA football titles since the very first FIFA, well before the PlayStation era, and I have remained a loyal player for decades. Because of that, I find it difficult to understand why concerns raised by players here receive so little acknowledgement. I fully understand that companies must be careful when responding publicly. However, complete silence is also a response, and it is not a particularly reassuring one. If EA Help directs players to the forums, then the forums should function as a place where issues are at least acknowledged or discussed. Otherwise, the process risks appearing circular — players are redirected to the forums for help, but once they arrive, no help is provided. I would respectfully ask that this process be reconsidered, and that concerns raised here receive at least some level of acknowledgement from the relevant teams. I have earned badges and profile levels on this forum over time, but those are secondary. What matters far more is meaningful communication with the player community. Could EA staff please clarify whether posts raising gameplay concerns are reviewed and whether players can expect responses here? For clarity, could a member of the EA community team or moderation team please confirm whether gameplay concerns raised on this forum are reviewed by the development team, and whether players should realistically expect feedback or acknowledgement when such concerns are raised here? Understanding how this process works would be very helpful for players who have been directed here by EA Help. Thank you for your time and consideration.
