AI on SB
hello sorry in advance for spell errors, bad english and so on. I would like to use the "how to give effective feedback" suggestion a try. I have tried the "the AI is broken oneliner" earlier but to no avail. And now we need to play the SBs on world class, yay, im happy. So here is my go: What information do we need? In order to provide the development team with actionable feedback, please follow these guidelines: Structure your post as clear and detailed as possible. Stating that “the game is broken” or other one-liners aren't beneficial. MAIN PROBLEM: I think you should work on making the AI better in this game, here are some of the problems: it is extremely repetive, grindy, difficult and boring. The AI use allmost allways short passes, you cannot tackle, block off, take the ball of AI player. They anticipate your every move reacting to pushing a button or moving the stick before my own player reacts. They allways runs with enough speed away from you in a perfect angle, and my defence is all over the place. when trying to chose another player you will in 90 % of time get the worst placed one. when defending this is unrealistic, boring, repetative and so on. I try to counter this with calling and extra player for help and then chosing new player, you will then in most cases get the correct one, but then you most likely are severly out of position. It does not matter if they have bronze and I have Icons on world class. You know when you start a match that you will have a hard boring game. Its allmost as it is scripted? see also point 4. There is also the problem with needing 500 shots, and somehow you allways misses? just outside again, but it was a good try, the keeper saves again and its nr 40? and then they need 1 shot from 5000 yards, and it goes in. Splendid... fun also.... No its a grind. and its so boring. I also get tackled by my own players, the AI takes 2 of my players, runs into me and the oposition takes over. It does not happen often but it happens. My players should support my team, not the AI one. the player somehow pass to opposition and not in the direction im trying to pass. The opposition player runs into receiveing position on field before I make the pass but after I have pushed the button? Some of these situations are quite hillarious because in a real game some of their moves would have allmost surely resulted in a goal as they run out of their position. But since im locked to pushing the button and before my player reacts the order pushing that button do, their player runs into the "correct" position. And you loose the ball. Just have another go, yay (see point 1 and 2). I get attacked, and try to make a defencive line to stop the attack, then one of my defenders runs back to make room and break the offside making it one on one against one of their players? not once, or twice.... but the whole game? My defenders try to run out of the way of the attacker? (se also point 7, 1 and 2) My attackers does not try to attack, but stay back as much as possible even though I have clearly stated in my tactics that I want to to try to break the line of defence, with high pressure? I cannot run in behind because the AI have somehow forseen it before my player reacts to me when pushing a run order? I allways have to make a run order? I could go on. You know all of this, it has been told before. This fc is the worst by far. FC 23,24, and to some extent 25 was fun on SB. I could win on world class up to mid 80s oposition. Now I cannot take on a 70 rated team. So I hope i was clear enough, it is something that has been said many times on this forum with lots of one liners. My think is that the SB is a grindy boring mode, and on top of that: now you have put out challenges were you have to play on world class? why not just professional? its hard enough for the causual player. Include your platform and game mode whenever appropriate. You can also use the tagging feature for that. I play the game on a ps5 (not pro or slim). This post is about the game mode ultimate team and the squad battles. They are to boring, difficult, scripted, grindy on higher levels (for me high proffesional and world class) The AI is to boring, scripted, difficult and grindy. Hope that was both clear and appropriate. Use the search function to check if a related thread already exists, you can simply post there or like the original post, if you agree with it. I think you have had many posts about this but not done enough. Therefore Im using the "this is how to give feedback" option with a new post. I dont bother to go and read others peoples frustrations, you does not seem to do it either, so why should I? Create separate posts for each of your feedback points instead of 1 huge all encompassing thread. This helps us for tracking purposes and that discussions stay on a single topic. oh no, I hope i dont have to. I put numbers on the issues, but its largly about SB, and broken AI, and grindy boring play. But it all connects to the broken AI one liner many have told you about before. Any additional screenshots or video clips showcasing examples are always appreciated. I dont bother with this, as a lot of people making the same feedback should be enough. "Thanks for all your passion and commitment to FC! We truly appreciate your time, energy, and ideas. This forum is always an open space where you can share your thoughts and feelings about every aspect of the game." Youre welcome. I hope my feedback is appreciated. I want the game to be fun, it is not. I have little hope that it will get any better soon. Sorry in advance for the somewhat sarcastic tone, but two games in tonite both ended the same way (both ingame litteraly as told above, and result) with another boring grindy loss. Now Im off to give it another go, yay. best regards from Eirik
Suggestions for annoying and old bugs
I'm a manager in career mode and I enjoy doing the "tactical vision" mode. My criticisms/suggestions for the next update are: 1 - fix the bug that prevents headers from happening; 2 - urgently increase the number of players on the bench (it's absurd to only have 7 players, even futsal doesn't have that many on the bench); 3 - in a counter-attack situation during an opponent's corner kick, for example, in "tactical vision" mode, it's absurd that 80% of the time when my player is one-on-one with the goalkeeper, he either slows down until the opposing defender catches him and steals the ball, or instead of going towards the goal, he turns towards the side of the penalty area, in the same way, for the opposing defender to catch him, or he crosses into the area, where (as is already known) it's IMPOSSIBLE to score a header. I hope you fix these ANNOYING and RECURRING errors in the game. I still have many more suggestions, but for now these are the worst in my opinion. [CM edit - language in title]EA disrespect
We're trying to complete the Squad Battles objectives, but some of us can't even do them because we're forced to play on at least World Class difficulty. Do you really think we have 3,000 squads just to grind objectives that don't even give decent rewards? You should lower it to Professional or higher. But again, you clearly don't care about the players, only about a few of them.
Stop adding salt to a sweet cake
Dear EA Team, First off, thank you sincerely for releasing the Icon Swaps—it’s a fantastic addition that many of us truly appreciate! However, I’m utterly frustrated and disappointed that EA remains predictably EA, stubbornly inserting objectives designed to infuriate rather than challenge players. How on earth can you justify: 1 chip shot goal in the Bundesliga 2 goals from crosses in the French league It’s blatantly obvious that your decision-makers aren’t even casual players yourselves! In the latest major EA competitions, chip shots and crosses scored nearly ZERO goals—because they’re the most unreliable, clunky mechanics in the entire game! These objectives don’t test skill; they breed pure annoyance and rage. Is this really your target audience, EA? Driving loyal players to the brink? Let me spell it out: The average player faced with this nonsense has just two grim choices—grind futilely until they rage-quit and skip it, or shell out real money for paid services to bypass your idiocy. i nearly forgot 1 token is from playing fut champs the mode I quit because it extremely annoying and toxic, I wish this mode gets removed from the game Please, EA, fix this immediately. We deserve better. Thank you for listening. Sincerely, A Frustrated FanPlease bring back Live Event Champs qualification
I am begging you EA stop forcing us into Rivals. I like many had given up on that mode which at it's best is just a large time sink and at it's worst it is THE most miserable experience in all of gaming. Giving it up lowered some of the frustration I had with the game. By forcing me into Rivals if I want to claim the Champs Swap token you have reminded me why I nearly gave the whole game up rather than what I think you were hoping for and that is re-engagement. Rivals games are too long, the worst elements of your 'community' are in there and its just an awful experience that only hardcore pack addicts want to play. So please if any of the content team people are actually listening anymore bring back Live Event qualification points otherwise I know I will not be alone in questioning whether to bother with Swaps and the game at all anymore.
Finally done.
This game before it dropped they promised so much and even showed us they see our complaints, so many promises and changes they said was coming but yet again EA lied!! Tackle someone the ball just goes back to him or another player on the opposite team thats open, 94 pace don’t worry this CB with 80 pace will catch up, laggy servers where passing or tackling will take some few seconds, You play rivals, champions and SB don’t worry we gonna give you ish rewards and if you wanna pack anything please empty out your bank here and open these packs is what this game is now. Sad thing I enjoy soccer but not what this game is giving us.The worst ever edition
I’m ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS! Every single team gets pathetic evolutions for silver Gullet, silver Mardini, and Van de Ven – what a total joke!Meanwhile, other teams are drowning in 5 or 6 TOTY cards like it’s nothing!Passes NEVER go where I intend – it’s infuriating!My ping randomly SPIKES from 50 to 80 or 90, ruining every match!EVERY rebound magically goes straight to my opponent – scripted BS!Grinding endless SBCs and wasting coins & FC points on store packs yields ABSOLUTELY NOTHING – zero rewards! I’m COMPLETELY FED UP with this trash game and how EA is butchering it. This is HANDS DOWN THE WORST EDITION EVER! I play to entertain myself, but I end up purely FRUSTRATED and raging!
[Feedback] Silver Stars Objective Change
Hi Team - please share your thoughts on the increase in the difficulty of the silver stars objectives from semi-pro to pro squad battles. i personally think it is a backward step as it makes a fun and enjoyable event considerably more difficult, but i would love to hear what others opinion is on the change. Thanks 🙏
The SBC makes the game difficult!
It's even losing to FC Online. Who would want to play FC26 with difficulty! You only need to play five games a day. You can spend extra to earn more, and you only need to play the games you like. Games that require you to create and complete countless SBCs, missions, and other tasks are too tedious and frustrating. The SBC is the main problem. Daily missions should be rewarded simply for checking in (just give them to me!). Why are you making me match cards one by one? Creating them one by one is annoying and takes an hour! What is this... I can't do anything I like and 2 hours just pass by! Does anyone play for more than two hours a day? That's why it's losing to FC Online!! By the way, the reason it's kept like this is because... it's probably to make it difficult for the spies from FC Online, so that users who were disappointed with online games would run away even if they moved to FC26!
