Request for macOS / Apple Silicon Support for EA Sports FC
Hello EA team, As a long-time EA Sports fan, I would like to request official support for EA Sports FC on macOS, especially for Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) devices. Today, millions of gamers use modern Mac computers with powerful ARM processors that are fully capable of running FC. Many of us are ready to purchase the game, but there is currently no official macOS version, which is disappointing for a large and growing community. Apple Silicon Macs have strong GPU performance, excellent optimization, and huge market share. Supporting macOS would open FC to a large audience and significantly increase the player base. Please consider adding official macOS support in future releases. We truly love the EA FC series and would be excited to purchase and play it on our Macs. Thank you for listening to the community.1.1KViews8likes4CommentsMissing “diving in” rewards
Two days ago I completed the diving in and venturing out missions. I received the rewards from the mission itself, but when I tried to receive the path to pro mission after completing all the missions there, it told me that I had not completed these two missions, which means I will not be able to receive the TOTW-86 pack and it is very annoying. What should I do?155Views6likes7CommentsBRING BACK WIDTH ADJUSTMENT + FIX FORMATIONS AND ROLES!
Chemistry and Positions EA needs to drop the realism gimmick. This is a game, not a simulation. It makes no sense that a professional RW cant play LW because of position locks. Top athletes can adapt - maybe less effective, but still functional! The old chemistry drop (10 to 7) made far more sense when playing someone out of position. Let us manage our own club. It should be our tactical choice - not a system restriction. Bring back managerial freedom! Menus and Game Modes Neglect Every year we are told menus are revamped, yet they are never finished. Once sales targets are met, support stops. We were promised stadium customization back in 2021. Four years later, we still cant search or filter stadiums, kits, or badges, or the option to search for long sleeve kit. Moments mode was meant to be a fast, fun alternative to Squad Battles. It hasnt been updated for months. Formations and Tactical Imbalance Formation behavior has hit rock bottom. Old, balanced systems are now unplayable because of Roles and neglected tactical tuning. 4-3-2-1 needs a narrow variant with a CDM and inside forwards (LF/RF). 4-2-3-1 and 4-2-2-2 play like a 4-2-4. CAMs push too high. 4-4-2 (standard): CMs move higher than LM/RM, even with balanced instructions. Wide players ignore all defensive duties. Inside forwards, wingers, and wide midfielders do not respond to any defensive role. CMs: Defensive midfielder, yet the description says offers themselves in attacking phase. Wasn't he a defensive midfielder? 4-4-2 (2) CDM: Far too wide wingers, wide CDMs, wide strikers and unsynchronized. Huge gaps between lines, no compactness. Gameplay / Rewards Finishing is horrible. Power shots, driven shots, finesse - all unreliable unless tied to a PlayStyle+, which still is barely good enough. Competitive balance is gone; Division 1 players can lose to Division 10 opponents in chaotic, random matches because of the lack of tactical variation, lack of skill gap, and lack of attacking mechanics. Rewards/Red Picks were never the issue – the content inside them was. Bring them back with better rewards and Evo integration. Skill Expression and Reward Players who have mastered advanced mechanics – cancels, directional exits, ball rolls, McGeady cancels – aren’t rewarded anymore. The game rewards straight-line running and low-effort play over creativity or precision. Draft and Motivation Draft is the same as FIFA 19 – outdated interface, broken chemistry, repetitive teams. There’s no excitement left. Nobody pays 80 dollars to scroll menus and look at 45 different store packs. What EA Needs To Do: Add new and updated formations, including modern systems used by top managers. Rework and update all other formations. Manually fix formation width, attacking and defensive AI, and player positioning across all setups. Or give us the option ASAP until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Reduce the distance between the striker and the rest of the team – attacks constantly break apart. Fix 4-4-1-1, where CAM and ST push too far forward with no support. CMs should act as deep-lying playmakers who defend, not statues, and wingers must actively attack and defend until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Fix 4-2-3-1 so half-wingers actually track back, and Playmaker + Build Up creates a CAM that defends realistically like the come-back-on-defence mechanic until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. In 4-4-2 and 4-4-1-1, CMs should behave closer to CDMs, not acting like shadow strikers leaving all defensive duties until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Wingers in 4-4-2, 4-4-1-1 etc. must be able to track back, not stand still watching the defence suffer until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Buff finishing outside the box. Give all wingers the opportunity to play on both wings until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Bring back Red Picks. Fix Moments. Fix transfer market filters (stadiums, kits). Fix 4-2-3-1 CAMs and 4-2-2-2 half-wingers so they defend and stay compact. Fix CM behavior in 4-4-2 and 4-4-1-1 so they don’t stand still waiting to crash the box until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Allow wide midfielders and wingers to defend. Provide more Role+ and Role++ options for wide midfielders. Allow wingers to play in central formations (4-3-2-1 / 4-2-3-1 / 4-2-2-2) until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Add a Defend and Support instruction for LM, RM, RW, LW, and CAM. Add a Stay Central option for CAM and ST. All these solutions would be half-decent until you bring back the legacy system. The game hasn’t been half-decent since the switch from FIFA to FC IQ. IQ is the biggest lie of them all. The tactical system peaked in 23, where we had 33 chem but could still play players out of position, like RW Jairzinho lining up at LW. Does EA even realise how insanely hard it is to build a good team now? No red picks, no icon picks, no icon swaps, barely any player picks. I haven’t packed anything useful since FIFA 23. Example of why, EA should allow us to field our best XI: Pretty sure, i had nothing else than bronzes left in the club, after grinding, Cruyff, Jairzinho, Kaka, Alonso, Zidane, Cafu, Ramos all were SBC! Everything is untradeable, so after months of grinding you sit with great players you can’t even fit. Imagine packing Jairzinho or Zidane and wanting them in 4222 or 4231 – what then? Zidane at CDM? Kaká out wide in 4411? It’s not a free game. We grind every week, coin balance sits at 10–20k, and we still get punished. And then I'm expected to bench Kaká or Jairzinho because the game won’t let me use my own players where I want? Just let us place our best cards anywhere like before. Stop forcing restrictions. We play the game – give us control over our own squads.1.3KViews5likes11CommentsThe UCL Icon upgrades are not “fixed”
Ea mentioned they fixed the UCL icon upgrades on EAHELP twitter. But Oliver Kahn still has 73 reactions, a downgrade from his 89 reactions. I have also seen other players experience the same issue with Kahn as well as other cards. These Icons were advertised to be upgraded, these are NOT upgrades. This is false advertisement and calls for a refund if this is not fixed. EA FIX IT DONT RUIN OUR ICONS109Views4likes1CommentEA Sports FC 26: A Pathetic Flop with Awful Physics and Shameless Handicaps
I bought FC 26 hoping for a breath of fresh air after the rebranding from FIFA, but it's just a complete failure. This is stupid crap that doesn't even deserve space on the hard drive. The physics in the game is completely worthless: balls fly like rubber balls from a cheap vending machine, players slide across the field like on ice, and collisions look like the developers forgot what gravity is. You make a perfect pass, and the ball flies off into nowhere because of some crooked animation that clearly wasn't tested.And these constant handicaps? It's outright mockery! The game clearly tweaks matches to "balance" everything—if you're leading 3:0, suddenly your players become wooden, the goalkeeper lets in childish shots, and the opponent turns into superheroes. Scripting at maximum, especially in online modes where the server lags too. Ultimate Team is pure pay-to-win, where without donations you're nobody. The graphics have improved a bit, but that doesn't save the fact that the gameplay is stuck at the 2010s level.In general, don't waste money on this abomination. Better play the old parts or some other sports sim altogether. 2/10, and that's only for the soundtrack. EA, you've forgotten how to make games!683Views4likes1CommentOffline draft rewards needed changes
I will start by saying that the improvement in online draft rewards was a very welcomed change, I know a good amount of people, especially good players that are taking a good advantage of their skills in this mode. And its deserved. But if I'm not mistaken, offline draft rewards are basically the same as last years, very weak rewards and where the difficulty of the AI you playing against doesn't influence the rewards you get. I understand that a person playing beginning AI should not have not even close to the rewards of a person playing online draft, beating 4 other players on their way. BUT we do have the option to pick other difficulties and that should change the level of rewards. The same way you get more points in squad battles for higher difficulties, leading to better reward tiers at the end. The increase difficulty of the offline draft should also result on a better tier of rewards. Especially for players like me in PC that enjoy the draft aspect of the game and some chalenge, but can't do the online draft because of the % of cheaters in the platform. That would be an optimal alternative. Thanks for reading this. If any of the things said here are wrong, please correct me, so we can have a more proper discussion on the topic.1.5KViews4likes1CommentThe cheating scandal in the game. fc 26!
In FC 26, cheaters are continuing just where they left off. On top of that, the game is giving server errors, and then EA penalizes me by deducting my match coins. How can a game be this absurd? Someone else is cheating, but I'm the one getting the coin penalty! It's a disgrace considering the money we've paid Username of the cheater : max1movic226Views4likes0CommentsFC 26 Belgium
Hello, I am an EA SPORTS FC 26 player from Belgium and, since the ban on purchasing FC Points, we are clearly at a disadvantage compared to other countries. We cannot benefit from the special edition with its bonuses or from early access. It is impossible to buy the Premium Pass (1,000 FC Points) unless we farm around 500,000 coins in Ultimate Team, which is unrealistic for those who mainly play Club Pro. We also cannot easily access Club Pro cosmetic items, even though these are purely cosmetic and involve no randomness. I understand the ban on random packs for legal reasons. Of course, this will never fully fix the injustice of not being able to open packs simply because we are Belgian. But at the very least, the Premium Pass and the cosmetics are not random: we know exactly what we are buying. ➡️ Suggestion: allow direct payment in real money (for example €10 for 1,000 FC Points) or offer a way to buy the Pass and Club Pro cosmetics in euros, while keeping only the purchase of packs blocked. This would at least provide some balance, even if it does not fully compensate for the inability to open packs. Today we face a disadvantage that has nothing to do with fair play. Thank you for taking this feedback into account.305Views4likes0Commentspack weight
Hello, I would like to give feedback about pack weight in EA SPORTS FC 26 Ultimate Team. The rewards and packs feel extremely unrewarding this year. Many active players complete Rivals, Champions, SBCs, and objectives but still only receive low-value duplicate cards. Please improve pack weight, reward quality, and transparency regarding pack probabilities. Thank you.37Views3likes2Comments
