broken, unplayable, miserable!
I know your game is a complete mess, and at this point, I seriously doubt you're capable of fixing it! But I've had enough of watching my 99-rated team struggle to WALK, let alone SPRINT! They struggle to pass, tackle, turn, react, or perform even the most basic actions! And here's the best part: 6ms ping! No freezing, no lag spikes, no visible glitches! So what's the excuse this time, EA? Explain to me how my 99-rated players, supposedly among the best in the game, are consistently outpaced, outmuscled, and outperformed by an 88-rated opponent's team, including 77-rated players with barely 60 pace! How does a player with 60 pace outrun one with 99 pace? What exactly is the point of ratings if they mean absolutely NOTHING on the pitch? My players behave as though they're running through wet cement, while my opponent's average players move like Olympic sprinters! And before you blame my connection, remember: 6ms ping, stable gameplay, and no visible connection issues! So what is actually happening behind the scenes? Is it broken gameplay mechanics, inconsistent player responsiveness, or something fundamentally wrong with your game engine? Because when a 99-rated player performs worse than a 77-rated one, you've made a complete mockery of your own rating system! Stop hiding behind generic troubleshooting advice and start explaining why your game consistently fails to deliver the gameplay your own ratings promise!
Offline Tournaments
After playing the Beta I thought this was going to be a good idea but how wrong I've been. I've just tried to play the Heritage Tournament to qualify for the circuit. I'm having to play a team on World Class level but I'm only allowed to pick 1 player above 85 rated in my team when the team I'm playing has a number of players rated 90 and above, how is that even fair when it's players like Gullit, Rooney, Scoles etc Absolute joke after looking promising as an alternative to online tournaments. I was honestly looking forward to offline tournaments being a solid alternative to online but sorely disappointed and disillusioned with this mode already
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.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.
Player Career Mode AI – Extremely Poor and Unrealistic Behavior
Hi, I’m writing to express my frustration with the AI in Player Career Mode, specifically the behavior of my own team. The AI-controlled teammates make incredibly poor decisions, especially when building out from the back. They often push the ball toward the sideline and then attempt a ridiculous cross-field pass that usually ends up with the opponent — frequently resulting in completely avoidable goals. The attacking AI is also a major issue. They constantly attempt first-touch passes in situations where it makes no sense, often giving the ball away without any pressure. These decisions are completely unrealistic and ruin the experience. This has been a problem in multiple versions of FIFA/EA FC, and it’s beyond frustrating. Every year we pay full price for what feels like the same game, with old bugs still present and new ones introduced. It honestly feels like no real effort is put into improving the core gameplay — especially in single-player modes like Career. I don’t expect much to change, but I’ve had enough of staying silent. Hopefully one day a serious competitor will enter the market and force EA to actually work on the game that brings in billions. Thanks for your time.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,Are mods actually allowed??🤔🤔
I'm trying to get into Player Career Mode, but the options are very limited. I want to play with a little more freedom, like the ability to change the ages of players, etc. So I did what anyone else would do I downloaded a mod. The first things that happen when I try to run FC26 through the Mod's launcher is that I get a notification saying I may get banned for using it. Is there a real risk, and mostly, am I allowed to use mods? I am planning only to use them in offline modes (like Player Career).Always disconnected every game when playing season
