Attacking Wingbacks bug
I assume its a bug compared to their behavior on FC25, Attacking Wingbacks specially when set to Attack focus should go up a lot faster and stay up yet in FC26 they act a lot more as a regular wingback, they stay close to the ball height in the pitch and dont overlap nearly as aggressive as it was in FC25, this makes 5 back formation useless for exemple (not to mention regular back 4 formations) because u cant count with your wingbacks making the team more wide and aggressive... Tested with with Authentic Features ON... dont know if online with competitive gameplay its better but with Authentic its surely bugged. Please EA take a look at this.Worst AI of all time
Hello EA, The offline AI is the worst it has ever been. First it was too easy. Now the AI doesnt attack at all, and just keeps the ball for 70% without ever being a threat? I have tried Authentic, and AI has gotten better defensively, and it’s almost a bit too hard to score, But fair play for fixing it. They really mark and press, in midfield and defence. But my god its unrealistic and boring. Went from 8-0 games to 0-0. The game is balanced - you Can pass, drible, cross, shoot and head for goals. It has so much potential. But please fix the AI’s Intelligence. Last year they could attack, But could’nt Mark or Press..
Able to play game,
With monitor Framerate 60Hz , FPS limit 30, weather effect off, competitive gameplay, graphics option auto, I was able to play this game despite lack of FPS, It was fun, AMD Ryzen 7 3750H with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx (8 CPUs), ~2.3GHz NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 RAM 16 GB I really hope it will get optimized so my laptop can play better graphic in this game, Thanks DEV,Career mode still not challenging in November
I’m playing on ultimate with all of the sliders maxed out. No challenge whatsoever. They don’t event attack even tho I have buildup speed on 100 and long shots on 100. How can they release the game like this - and even worse, how hasn’t it been fixed properly yet???This is just disgusting and disrespectful by EA. This is coming from someone that has played every game since 2002. This might be the last game I will buy from EA. I can’t believe you made me pay a 100 bucks for this crap, and still it hasn’t been fixed three months in to the game. I’m playing with a 73 rated Bristol team, first season in the prem after being promoted. I tried to play an away game today after the update and I won 4-0 against City. 12 - 0 in shot statistics. My experience with this game is the worst EVER. Also one more thing. Why hasn’t the draft been updated in like… ever? I occasionally play draft when I’m with my friends. But why can’t you play draft together online? Wake tf up EA!!!Manager career mode - players evolving
Overall I think manager career mode is good, but it makes no sense that all players develop so quickly and so much, even if you set their development to "slow" and don't hire an assistant coach. It ends up that after 2 seasons of playing, all players on all teams are between 85-90 rated. It is very unrealistic and not very fun if all players in the game are equal in rating. There should be an option to stop players' development earlier or completely, to make the game mode more realistic. And maybe an option to choose which players you want to develop, such as promising talents.Difficulty Levels on Fc26 is Broken in offline mode and career mode… please fix
As of November 1, 2025, the game's difficulty balance in FC 26 remains a significant point of concern for many players, particularly in offline modes like Career Mode and Squad Battles. While EA has released a major patch (v1.1.0) with various gameplay adjustments, including empowering manual defending and improving goalkeeper logic, community feedback indicates that the core issue of the CPU AI being too passive on higher difficulties (Legendary and Ultimate) has not been fixed. Key issues and status: CPU AI Passivity: Many players report that even on the highest difficulty settings, the AI rarely attacks and frequently passes the ball around the back without intent, leading to easy wins and a lack of challenge in Career Mode. Patches have addressed other issues: The v1.1.0 update focused on other areas like refining manual defending, fixing the "kick-off glitch," and making through passes less assisted. No specific AI attacking fix yet: There has not been a specific patch to address the fundamental lack of attacking intent from the CPU AI in offline modes. Workarounds: Some players are attempting to use custom sliders to make the game more challenging and realistic, but official fixes are still being awaited. In short, players are still waiting for a dedicated fix for the AI difficulty issues in FC 26.EA_DennisRecursiveFluxJazzBrousseauEA_JasonThe latest updates have completely ruined the game!
I’m playing Career Mode and finished 2nd with my team — and got fired. Then, reluctantly, I took a job as a manager at an Argentine club. With a lot of free agents and loan players, I built a great team, won the league in my first season, and also picked up the cup. Of course, throughout the season I kept an eye on all available jobs, especially my favorite team — the one I was fired from and originally started the game with — marking them as “favorite” to keep track of any potential changes in their management. In the second season, the job of the current manager at my favorite club was in danger, and I was finally able to apply — but my application was rejected. Fortunately, I had another amazing season and was on track to win both the league and the cup again, which I hoped would increase my chances of being hired back by my old club. But ever since you released the update, I’ve been losing matches consistently — and not by a small margin either. From being a championship-winning team to suddenly getting smashed 4–0 or 6–2. Defending has become an absolute nightmare — you just can’t get the ball anymore, and every shot from the opponent seems to go in. My attackers, who were all top scorers, have also suddenly become useless. Now I’ve lost the cup final, didn’t win the league, and guess what? My old team finally sacked their manager — but I still can’t apply because my previous application from weeks ago was rejected. And what do you know? They already hired a new manager, and I still can’t apply for the job, even though the “chance of being hired” says “high”! What a terrible gameplay experience this has become! I used to really enjoy the game, but all these updates have completely ruined it for me. It feels like I’m playing against Real Madrid in every single match now! The difficulty level has increaded. Worldclass seems legendary now! Please roll back those gameplay updates as soon as possible!!!Updates
Care to explain why use done the last update with squad battles, i used to enjoy the game but after the last 2 updates use are destroying your own game fc should be a fun relaxing game not having to sweat every game you play that it be ai or players honestly at this put use have destroyed the game mode I loved to play now I remember why I stopped playing years ago between the bugs between unable to report them, cheaters or getting harassed by other players at this point what is the point in playing the gameNew Role for CBs needed in FC IQ
The CB position in FC 26 needs a new Role, this role would be an attacking one, historically football has had so many legendary CBs who were great going forward, players such has Hierro, Ramos, Koeman, Beckenbauer, Passarella, Sammer etc. Currently we have players like Van de Ven who like to push forward and score goals but there isn't a role in FC 26 that suits him. A Role that allows the CB to push forward into the final third, score goals and get into attacking spaces would really be beneficial, or maybe you could add a NEW focus onto 'Ball Playing Defender' which would allow the CB to push forward into the final third? The name for this new role could be Extra Frontman/Overlapping Defender or there could be an "Attack" focus added under "Ball Playing Defender"? Nevertheless a new role/focus is really needed here, it would add more fluidity and versatility to tactics. EA_Darko EA_Vendcera EA_Pulsar
