More Creativity In Game
Having players locked and unable to move clubs in the main menu settings is annoying. If I want to move Harry Kane back to Spurs in the main menu and run a career mode sim I can’t because he’s locked behind “Bayern XI”. I don’t care about legend squads that are missing almost all legends from that team. Kane can be on Bayern’s legend squad but that shouldn’t prevent us from moving him around in the main menu. Why are current players being locked behind a legends squad? Mbappe isn’t even a Madrid legend yet can’t be moved off Madrid because he’s on the legends squad. In the manager mode we deserve more creativity. Why can’t we manage multiple teams? Why can’t we have full control to edit players ages, wages, team, etc like in Madden? Why can’t we “force win” or “force loss” like Madden? Both are EA products yet FC Manager Mode feels way way way behind in terms of quality and creativity. It should be a full sandbox mode to do as we please. Manager mode deserves more love for us simulation players. And please please add a community creations. Allow us dedicated fans to create rosters, clubs, stadiums for our community.Career Mode Managers Disappear After Being Sacked (Unrealistic AI Behavior)
In Career Mode, top managers like Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta get sacked and then either disappear or do not get hired by other clubs. This breaks realism, as top managers in real life would quickly find new jobs at high-level clubs. This reduces immersion and makes the career mode feel unrealistic. Steps: Start Career Mode Sim a few seasons Observe top managers getting sacked They do not get rehired properly Expected: Managers should move between clubs realistically based on reputation. Actual: Managers disappear or take random/unrealistic jobs.Please Improve Manager Career Mode!
I have bought this game every year in the past six years. When I first started playing, everything was amazing. I loved every bit, probably because I didn't have any big expectations. I only got frustrated because I lost a game or made a big mistake. Over the years, I have gradually expected more and more from the game. To be honest, I have almost not played anything else than Career Mode or more specific, Manager Career Mode. I absolutely love it! The problem is that I feel like I am playing the same game every year with minimal improvements. You don't understand how many times I have been frustrated over a simple thing such as not being able to train penalties and freecick accuracy in development plan. There are so many little improvements that I wished I could fix myself, and I have tried to do so many times! But after maybe an hour I realize it's not worth it. EA, can you please listen to us? We need more improvements! Yes! I understand that you might earn more from Ultimate Team, but at this point, haven't you already earned enough? At least enough to also focus on Career Mode? Here are the improvements I want that I could think of: Penalties, freecicks, corners and set pieces - Make it possible to train penalties and freecick accuracy in development plan. - Make it possible to focus on one player to have a special penalty run up. - Make it so that penalty takers don't miss every time when you simulate a game. - Make it harder to consistently hit the target when taking penalties. The only times I miss a penalty is either if I fail my timing or the keeper becomes inhuman. I wish pressure in taking penalties was different from game to game ( for example shooting a penalty in a final would be harder than in a normal league game), having to aim more when shooting and maybe even have a special run up that makes it possible to see first where the keeper is diving, then shoot. Also, when I shoot penalties, I often feel like the AI knows where I am shooting before I take the penalty and there is a certain chance if the keeper saves or not (not depending on if it is a good penalty or not). In other words, taking a penalty feels like spinning a wheel and there is a chance I could score. - I feel like freecicks is quite hard to score, especially this year. I don't think I have ever scored a goal when the wall is less than four people my whole life. Maybe it is a skill issue, but still, it should be easier. I have really tried to learn how to do it, but I am unable to. And this year, I have maybe scored two or three freecicks. Many people say it's easier this year, but I disagree. I wish at least someone can teach me how to do it more easily. - Corners is some of the most unrealistic thing in the game right now. In real life, scoring a corner is happens quite often. Especially for Arsenal! I feel like winning a aerial duel is impossible when attacking! When I defend and there is a corner against me, I almost win the duel every time. It should be easier to score a header! - In set pieces too, when it's too far out to shoot, you rarely score I think at least. Probably because it is impossible to win a header when attacking. Gameplay - Hitting the target should maybe be harder. I feel like when I watch highlights of matches, players miss the target more often than in FC 26. - I think the AI is very passive and takes rarely chances. This year is better, but still makes almost no mistakes. - I don't like the difficulties. Feel like it is either too hard or too easy. I want to be able to loose against a terrible team, but also be able to win against team that are much better than mine. - Often I don't feel like a player's attributes shows in the game. For example pace. A player with 99 pace can get caught up by a player with 65 pace. Tactics - I wish changing tactics mid game was more accessible. Also, I feel like every team have the same tactics. Never loose the ball and play very passive. I miss that the AI actually used more tactics. For example: If there were 5 minutes left in a game and the score was 2-1. The team with one goal should be very offensive and the team leading should be very defensive. Development and playstyles - I think the way players go up in overall is unrealistic. A 30 year old player who scores 35 goals one season might not go up in overall nor value. I think this i s stupid. Form should have more impact on the overall. Young players should also be able to go down in overall! They never do, even if they don't score a singe goal or get a single assist. - A players rating after a match is quite unrealistic. I wish it was harder to get 10 in rating, and also harder to get 4 in rating. Getting 4 in rating for a keeper is quite normal I think. This is probably because the amount of chances for an AI is not that many, but the chances they get are 100% expected goals and the keeper can't prove himself. - Players should be able to develop their own playstyles. It would make the game more fun. Especially after simulating five years in a career. Buying players, selling players, negotiating and extending contracts - Sometimes it is irritating to find players to buy. I rarely use scouts to find players to buy. I feel like they don't know what they are talking about. Maybe being able to set a target value for a player that you want in the scout instruction. - You should be able to set your own value on a player with some limitation. Say you have a player that is crucial for your team, but is 29 years old and only 83 rated. He does really well, but doesn't go up in rating and value. His value is 40 million, but you think he at least is worth 55 million. And every team refuses to pay anything more than 45 million. This is something I have been frustrated over many times. - Negotiating should take a little more time? I feel like it is too easy and too quick. I could buy 10 players on deadline day if I wanted to. Also, taking a plane to meet up with a manager, only to then make the manager leave the room immediately because you offered as much money as the player's value is stupid. You should maybe even be able to ask what they want first I think. And maybe not meet up at first, but after agreeing meet up and sign papers? Just a suggestion. - You shouldn't be able to sign contract with a player that easily. The way you do it now is to agree on the role, amount of years, release clause and wages. It doesn't matter if the player want to move from playing with Real Madrid to start playing for Derby County. All that matters is the money really. Also, accepting the wages to a player should be more serious. I almost never care about the wages a player demands. - You should be able to refuse to extend a players contract without him become super mad. The behavior of a player should be more realistic. If a player does really well and gets enough playtime and plays in a very good team, then extending the contract is realistic. If a player does really well and gets enough playtime, but plays in a smaller team, then extending the contract is less realistic. Youth Academy I REALLY wish there was more to do with the youth academy. I understand if getting the approval to have a 14 year-old in the game is hard, but it would be fun to have the big young stars in the game. I wish I could buy players into my youth academy from other academies. I wish I could take players in the first team into the academy. And I wish youth academy in the game was more like in real life. International football, team names and player faces - I don't really understand why the World Cup and all the other international competitions aren't in the game. It shouldn't be that hard to be allowed and have license to have this in the game. The same with a lot of team names (Italian clubs). - Managing an international team should be more work. And I don't think that you should be able to manage both a club and a nation at the same time. - I wish every player had a face in the hub. It is boring using a young player when he doesn't have a face in the squad hub. Managers and making faces - I wish it was possible to use managers who aren't currently managing any teams. At least the big managers. - For me making faces is a little confusing. Is it possible to save a face you made? Please make it easier to understand and more user friendly. Other - When making a player in the settings, I wish you could decide the potential. And when you finished making the player, you can't edit the face and more unless you delete the player and start over. - For some reason, when starting to play a match or when starting second half, the game begins to lag badly! I have to close and start the whole game to fix it. This is on PC. - More freedom in Career Mode is something that I wish I had. Some of the things that I have suggested might reduce the amount of freedom. Therefore maybe make it into a setting that could be turned off and on. This is what I could think of for now. I will probably be able to think of more later, but this is enough. I really hope that you EA take this into consideration and make more improvements every year. Maybe even updates throughout the year? I do love the game and I buy the game every year even if I promised not to. This is because I am desperate for more improvements in the game, and I get a LITTLE tricked every year when I watch the trailer thinking you did something. I also regret spending WAY to much money on your game. That is the outcome every year for me, hopefully that changes soon. LOVE YOU EA, but I am also disappointed of you. This took me a lot of time to write, so I hope you EA do something with your game. (Sorry if my English is bad, but I think you get the message.)suggestion
May the peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. I am a player of the game FC26. I have a suggestion that Fc26 should have a carer mode online, in which, for example, I would like to play with my brother and have everyone on a team. It is a nice and nice idea and we can be on the same team. I hope you accept my idea because with this idea there will be many people playing FC27. Thank you.Transfer Market Locked in FC26 After Objectives (2 Months No Fix)
I am having an issue with Transfer Market access on my FC26 Web App account that has now been ongoing for nearly 2 months. I understand I broke rules in FC25 and accepted the enforcement at the time. However, restrictions are not meant to carry over into FC26. In FC26 I have completed all required objectives and met eligibility requirements, yet the market is still locked. I contacted support 2 months ago and never received a response, and live chat was ended without help. This suggests my account may be incorrectly flagged. I am at a competitive disadvantage and would like this reviewed or escalated. I am requesting access to be restored or a clear explanation.
FC26 Character Creation Sharing System (Face & Appearance Codes)
Hello EA SPORTS Team, I would like to suggest a feature that could improve multiple modes in FC 26, including Clubs, Career Mode, and Player Customization. Currently, in the tactics section, players can share and import tactics using codes. I believe a similar system should be added for character creation and player appearance. For example, many players create highly detailed and realistic faces (such as famous footballers) in Clubs mode and share them online. However, recreating these faces manually is very time-consuming and often does not result in the same accuracy. If there was a system where players could share a “character code” or “appearance code,” others could simply copy and paste that code to instantly use the same face or customization. This feature could be very useful in: - Clubs mode (custom player faces) - Editing AI players or bots in Clubs teams - Player Career Mode customization - Manager Career Mode character editing It would save time, improve creativity, and allow the community to share their creations much more easily—just like tactics sharing. I believe this would be a very popular and useful addition to the game. Many players in the community would love this feature. Thank you for your time and consideration.FC 26/27 Career Mode Needs Major Realism & Customisation Improvements
I think Career Mode in EA Sports FC 26 has so much potential, but there are a few key areas where it really needs improvement to feel more realistic and immersive. Player creation feels very limited right now. There aren’t enough modern hairstyles in the game, which makes it difficult to recreate real-life players, especially younger players coming through academies who are not yet included. In modern football, a lot of players have styles like skin fades with fringes, textured crops, or cornrows and braids, but these are either missing or very limited in the game. This makes it almost impossible to create accurate lookalikes of upcoming players. Another major missing feature is tattoos. Tattoos are a big part of football culture now, and without them created players do not look realistic. Even a simple tattoo system with options for arms and legs would make a big difference and improve immersion in Career Mode. The media system in Manager Career also needs improvement. It currently feels repetitive and unrealistic, with most questions being overly positive. In real football, the media can be very critical, especially after poor performances or bad results. The game should include more direct and challenging questions that put pressure on the manager and make the experience feel more authentic. AI transfers are another issue. Clubs often make unrealistic signings that do not fit their squad or style, and teams can become very unbalanced. This breaks immersion and makes Career Mode feel less believable. Transfers should be more intelligent so clubs build squads in a way that reflects real life. Player performance across leagues is also unrealistic. When checking other leagues, top players often underperform heavily. For example, you might see players like Lamine Yamal with very low goal and assist numbers compared to real life. At the same time, random players from smaller or newly promoted teams can end up as top scorers, while world class players do not perform as expected. Players like Haaland should consistently be among the top scorers, but this does not always happen in Career Mode, which breaks realism. Another missing element is player personality. Players feel too generic and there is no sense of individuality. Adding personality traits such as having a big ego, reacting badly to being benched, or showing ambition would make squad management more interesting and realistic. Celebrations also need updating. Many of the current celebrations feel outdated or unrealistic. Adding more modern and commonly used celebrations, especially for created players, would improve the overall experience. Overall, Career Mode has a strong foundation, but improving realism, customisation, and immersion in these areas would make a huge difference. Would be great to hear what others think and what they would like to see improved.FC Career Mode
I think player creation in Career Mode could be massively improved with more customisation options. Right now, the hairstyles are quite limited, and it makes it hard to properly recreate real-life players—especially younger academy players who aren’t yet in the game. For example, Max Dowman at Arsenal. Adding a much wider variety of modern hairstyles (different lengths, textures, fades, etc.) would make created players look far more realistic. Another big feature that would improve this is the ability to add tattoos. A lot of real players have distinctive tattoos, and without them it’s almost impossible to make accurate lookalikes. Even a basic tattoo system (arms, legs, different styles) would go a long way. This would be especially useful for Career Mode players who like to: Create real-life youth prospects not yet in the game Rebuild squads realistically Add a more immersive, authentic feel to their saves Overall, improving player creation would make Career Mode much more enjoyable and realistic for a lot of the community. Would love to hear if anyone else feels the same or has other ideas to add.
Academy Wingers with Bruiser & Enforcer playstyles
I am not sure if this is a bug issue or not, but I just started a new manager career save. A RTG using only academy players. However, for some reason, my scouts keep coming back with youth players (mainly in winger and attacking midfielder positions with 5+ playstyles) that either have the Bruiser or Enforcer playstyle or both at the same time. No matter what countries I send my scouts to, the same issue keeps on happening. Did any recent update mess up the coding or something? I play tactical view only and just play mainly for immersion. So having to spend hours scum saving in trying to find good players from the academy is already tedious enough for me, but now having to keep coming across wingers or attacking midfielders with defensive playstyles like bruiser & enforcer just takes the fun out of career mode for me personally when I just want players with the right playstyles to commit developing into world class talents. This needs to be fixed.
