Bring Back Legacy Defending in FC 26 – This Game is Broken Without It
I am beyond frustrated, disappointed, and frankly angry at what you’ve done to defending in EA FC 26. You’ve taken something that was already flawed in previous versions and made it ten times worse. It’s no longer just about bad gameplay – it’s a complete disrespect to loyal players like me who invest money, time, and energy into this game only to be mocked by broken mechanics and decisions that seem to be made to please streamers, not real football fans. Let’s be crystal clear: defending in FC 26 is a disaster. You’ve destroyed the balance of the game by making defending feel slow, unresponsive, clunky, and completely unrealistic. Legacy defending – the one system many of us relied on for YEARS – is not even available online anymore. Why? Who made that call? Because a bunch of streamers who spin in circles and abuse skill moves 24/7 complained that they couldn’t dribble past defenders anymore? So instead of improving balance or giving us the tools to compete, you decide to punish the entire community by forcing everyone to use this mess you call “tactical” and “advanced” defending – systems that do NOT work, no matter how long we try. I’ve tried for months. I’ve practiced. I’ve watched tutorials. I’ve adjusted settings. And guess what? It still sucks. It’s so bad it’s caused me real stress. I’ve broken my TV out of frustration – something that has never happened in over 10 years of gaming – all because of how awful this game feels. I pay for PlayStation Plus every month just to play online. And for what? To not even be able to DEFEND? What’s the point of a football game where defense is useless and goals are scored nonstop like we’re in some arcade game? The fun of football is the tension, the strategy, the battle to earn a goal — not everyone walking through open space like it’s a joke. There’s no realism, no reward for good defending, and absolutely no control over your backline. Even the keeper cursor is gone now because some immature players whined about it. Are you serious? Instead of listening to experienced players and long-time fans, you keep caving to complaints from people who don’t even care about realism or fair competition. It’s sickening. This game is a joke right now. The goal rates are outrageous. It’s not competitive, it’s not fun, and it’s pushing people to their limits. A lot of us used to play EA FC to relax and unwind. Now we log off angry, shouting, stressed, and feeling cheated. And for many, including myself, this is starting to feel like more than just a game — it’s becoming a mental health issue because you refuse to give us options. So here’s my message loud and clear: 👉 Bring back Legacy Defending ONLINE. 👉 Let players choose the defending style that works for them. 👉 Stop forcing everyone to play your way, especially when your way is BROKEN. We’re not asking for a miracle. We’re asking for the bare minimum – to be able to enjoy the game we paid for, with fair defending options that actually WORK. Listen to your community, not just the streamers. If this is what EA FC is now, you’re going to lose more and more real players every week. FIX IT. — A frustrated FC playerLagowania ciąg dalszy
Jest 1 w nocy. W mistrzostwa mozna grac od wczoraj ale wedlug serwerow niekoniecznie. Nadal wystepuje opoznienie w sterowaniu (juz nie pamietam kiedy rozegralem normalny mecz nie wychodzac przed czasem). Notorycznie jedynie dajecie tipy aby wyjsc z gry wylaczyc gre itd itd. A kiedy naprawicie serwery? Kiedy dacie kur** dac ludziom grac w cos za co zaplacili nie male pieniadze? Naprawde o kazdej porze dnia i nocy weekendu macie przepelnione serwery? 6 meczy z 5 wyszedlem bo rywal szybciej sie przełącza niz ja zdaze sprintem biec (kolejny tydzien grania w taki sposob). Zaraz ktos powie a bo teraz obrona trzeba grac a nie biegac jednym (od poczatku gry wykorzystuje raczej caly zespol do grania i naprawde staram sie grac) ale sie po prostu nie da. Ta gra , serwery i caly gameplay to dno dna i kałem poganiane. Dalej dawajcie youtuberom nabijac 15-0 z ludzmi ze wsi co maja ledwo polaczenie z internetem. Teraz laczylo mnie z samymi ludzmi grajacymi przez komputer (juz widze jak nie bylo nikogo na konsoli). I powtorze nie broncie sie przepelnionymi serwerami bo wam rakiete wysle w koncu w ta smieszna siedzibe i serwery. Nie da sie w wiekszej mierze miec panowania nad zespolem. Granie online jest w 3/4 czasu czasem straconym bo co po umiejętnościach jak nie ma mozliwosci w czasie i tempie reagowac na tle rywala. Gdybym mogl zlozyc reklamacje i odzyskac pieniadze to bym was skurwy…y dawno pozwal o oszustwo.
Squad Battles AI
The update to career mode ai has completely broken and ruined squad battles. Might work on authentic but clearly doesn't on competitive, this must not have been tested and if it was then please fire those testers, they are clueless. Since I hate the online gameplay this year I decided to just build my evo team and chill, casually, in squad battles but that is beyond a joke now. A silver 71 rated, 3 chem team just passed the ball around like prime Barcelona. They had 70% possession and did not attack once. Every time i get a player within 5 feet of their player with the ball they pass sideways or back. At 2-0 down they were passing on halfway line and in their final third. You spend most of these squad battles games chasing shadows and waiting for them to make a mistake, not a single moment of enjoyment left in the one mode I could play casually and enjoy. Are you going to change squad battles ai back to how it was or change it back in some way? I'm going to need an answer on this @EA anyone because if you are then I'll keep playing but if not please at least say so on this post so I can move to a different game.
Being scammed
I have 200 hours on this game, I play almost every game mode even if it is not fun i still play it and what I noticed is This game is not rewarding for some of us at all packs no matter the rating just give out gold cards and rarely you’ll get a 85 promo card thats useless and EA will try to convince us pack luck ain’t a thing when I can even open a store pack and still just get gold cards. This game is turning to a scam and the only way to save it is to stop buying it.
defend bad
1.4 patch is ruined the reality defenders wholesale scared He passes by among 6 people. The only company that makes the game worse with updates. defending is very weird for example: gabriel is professional top tier defender but he s afraid from the ball ???? and goalkeepers is not good.. briefly aliitle bit buff for gk and we want a when it first came out defend iq everyone want this buffs you listen players in the trailer you say but, you dont listening to we please work a little bitSquad Battle Progress not working
I have an issue with Squad Battles, as I progress to Elite 2 and I come back in the game I am at Gold 1, how does this get fixed, cause I just can’t progress further than Gold 1 and if I play I don’t get points, I have been missing the rewards that is due in a higher rank, it’s not worth it
