FC26 Feels Unplayable With the Same Ping as FC24/FC25
In both FC24 and FC25, I used to play with 70–85 ms ping, and Ultimate Team was playable. The latency and input delay were not very noticeable. However, in FC26, even though I still have the same ping, the game feels very unplayable, almost as if I am playing with 130–150 ms. The latency and input delay are so bad that I cannot even dribble properly with my players. For example, when I move the controller to the left, the player moves left with a significant delay. I am playing the game from Azerbaijan, and many of my friends are experiencing the same problem. I don’t understand how the gameplay can become worse even though the ping remains the same compared to FC24 and FC25. Is there any way to fix this issue?Solved211Views0likes8CommentsJAVELIN error 95
I was leading the match comfortably when I was suddenly disconnected with Error 95. After reconnecting, I received a DNF and a loss. What is going on? My setup includes an RTX 5090, a Ryzen 9 9950X3D, and a gigabit cable connection, so this is clearly not a hardware or stability issue on my end ( I play with gsync and vsync off and high settings in order to get arround 360 fps to match my monitor refresh rate so i get less input lag). I reported the player, but I’m concerned this is a game-breaking bug. Please look into this; it’s ruining the experience for me! I don.t have antivirus blocking the game. I repeat myself: it.s my first time in this season i got this error. It.s actually my only time i got error this season.116Views2likes21CommentsAI CELEBRATION BUG
Hi, I’ve noticed a problem in FC 26. When the AI scores against me, the normal cinematic goal celebration cutscenes never trigger. Instead, the goalscorer always runs either towards the halfway line, the corner flag, or the sideline, and then an interactive celebration starts (with the flag or the crowd). I never see the regular cutscenes after goal. Has anyone else this problem and is there a solution? It really ruins the immersion when playing career mode121Views3likes3CommentsUnplayable FPS Drops in FC26 on RTX 3050 (PC Bug)

I am experiencing a major Evolutions bug in EA Sports FC 26 that is completely blocking progression. I have a persistent notification indicating that I have an evolution to claim, but when I enter the Evolutions section, there are no players or evolutions available and all tabs are empty. Because of this, my Luis Suarez card, which I have already progressed through multiple evolution chains, is now locked. I am unable to place him into the Birthday Bonito evolution, even though he clearly meets all requirements and appears under eligible players. I do not have any duplicate versions of this player. I have not submitted any evolved version into an SBC. This is the only Suarez evolution card in my club. I have already tried restarting the game, checking SBCs, clearing unassigned items, and using the Companion App, but the issue still persists. This appears to be a backend issue where an invisible or stuck evolution is assigned to my account, preventing further use of Evolutions. This issue is currently blocking my ability to use the Evolutions system entirely. Has anyone else experienced this or found a fix?12Views1like0CommentsWhy does every match feel the same and so exhausting?
I am writing this as an average player, not as someone pretending to be elite. Lately, a huge part of my frustration with EA SPORTS FC 26 comes from how repetitive and exhausting many matches feel. It often seems like I am facing the same style again and again: very aggressive pressing, the same few formations, heavy AI coverage, and almost no room to actually build attacks in a natural way. A big problem is constant pressure and extreme defensive intensity. In many matches I feel forced to make decisions instantly just to avoid losing the ball. Even when I try to move the ball quickly, there is often another defender already covering the exact passing lane. It creates a feeling that I am not being beaten by better football, but by a system that heavily rewards pressure, AI positioning, and defensive automation. I also keep seeing very similar setups, especially narrow or compact defensive structures and formations like 4-4-1-1. Whether the opponent presses high or sits deep, the result often feels the same: there is very little space, very little freedom, and very little variation from match to match. What makes this even worse is that these scumbag-style tactics are not only a problem in online modes. The same feeling exists in Squad Battles too. If a team is set up with a very deep defensive block and compact defending, the experience becomes almost identical to the worst online matches. It does not even need to be a squad full of overpowered cards. A perfectly set defensive setup is enough for the AI to turn the match into a miserable experience. Even on World Class difficulty, not just Legendary or Ultimate, it can already feel absurd. You go into Squad Battles hoping to take a break from online frustration, and instead you run into the same kind of suffocating defensive structure there as well. That is what makes it feel so ridiculous. There is no real escape from this style of gameplay, because the same low-block, AI-assisted defending keeps showing up across multiple modes. For example, when I try to use 4-3-1-2, I can sometimes make it work in Rivals, but in this current event it often feels useless because the pressure is so constant that I can barely progress toward the box at all. I know the easy response is “skill issue,” and that is fine. I am not claiming to be an amazing player. I dropped from Division 4 to Division 5, and I finished FUT Champions with 7 wins and 8 losses. But many of those games were still close enough that I felt they could have gone either way. That is exactly why the experience is frustrating: not because every loss is a total destruction, but because so many matches feel like I am starting from a disadvantage no matter what tactical choice I make. Another issue is the type of player behavior this gameplay seems to encourage. Sometimes if I score first against a stronger player, the entire tone of the match changes. It stops feeling like normal competition and starts feeling like the opponent wants to prove a point, overwhelm me completely, and turn the match into a humiliation. In other matches, players are several goals ahead and still seem irritated that I do not quit. That kind of atmosphere is not healthy for the game. So I think there are a few important questions: Why does aggressive pressing feel so consistently effective with so little downside? Why do AI interceptions and defensive lane coverage feel so dominant? Why do the same few formations appear so often? Why does deep block defending create the exact same frustration even in Squad Battles? How is an average player supposed to improve when so many matches feel less like football and more like surviving the same oppressive meta over and over? I do not expect every match to be easy. I do not expect to win all the time. But I do expect variety, some tactical freedom, and the feeling that trying different formations or ideas is actually worth something. Right now, too many matches feel repetitive, restrictive, and mentally draining. For average players especially, the game can start to feel less like competition and more like punishment. If EA wants players to stay engaged, then issues like constant pressure, AI defensive assistance, repetitive meta setups, deep block defending across multiple modes, and matchmaking quality need much more serious attention.193Views6likes9CommentsFC 26 Crashing and restarting PC
I bought EA FC 26 in November and was playing the game without any issues until last week aprox. Since then, the game constantly crashes during any online game mode (Rivals, Champions, Rush, etc...). This can happen at any moment of the match, and also in the pause menu, and sometimes in the store (xdn't). I don't know why this happens. I think it's an anticheat issue, but I already tried everything (list below) and the issue persists. Disgusting company. I was playing at 1440p, 90fps, 100MHz, borderless and high settings, WITHOUT ANY ISSUE until last week. Changes I made that didn't work: - Medium settings. - Fullscreen. - 60 FPS, 60 MHZ, no vsync, on vysnc. - Nvidia control panel specific settings. - drx11 - Reinstalling. - Reinstalling EA App. - Verifying files. - Resinstalling Anticheat from the .exe - Disabling any overlay (Steam, Nvidia, Overwolf, etc...) - Killing other processes (Vanguard, easy, etc....) - Moving the game from HDD to SSD. - Adding the files to the exclusion settings, firewall permissions and folder reads. - Executing everything as administrator. - I don't have any temperature issues in the CPU or GPU. Actually, CPU are GPU don't even reach 80% usage. - Other REALLY demanding games in high/ultra specs as Cyberpunk, RDR2, MH Wilds, etc... works fine without issues. - Other competitive games work fine without disabling/killing the external process (Warzone, Valorant. Apex) Additionally, I have the virtualization and safe boot enabled because I need to work with WSL, so, disabling these settings is not an option. However, I'm sure these are not a problem because I was playing and working until last week without any issues. But I preferred to mention it. My specs are: Ryzen 7 5700X RTX 3060 DDR4 32GB RAM 3200mhz That said, could EA provide a solution? Or if anyone in the community was able to fix it (although all the strategies above were taken from Reddit and the EA forums). I attached the logs found in the event viewer. Thanks to the community, it is the only good thing in this disgusting indie company.369Views3likes4Comments
