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.BRING 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."Far post focus" cam setting from FC 25 is NEEDED! + NEW RUSH CAMERAS
please, give us back the option to increase "far post focus" , on camera settings, like we had in FC 25 As it actually increases the accuracy of shots aimed at the far post, especially outside the box. PLEASE! New rush cameras are needed too! The current ones are way too zoomed out, too dynamic, too unresponsive and very horrible angles. Please, provide us with a normal, stable one with very good zoom ! that is identical to TELE and TELE BROADCAST!CHOICE BETWEEN AUTHENTIC GAMEPLAY/COMPETETIVE GAMEPLAY ONLINE
We need the option to choose between: Authentic: Realistic, slow paced, responsive, less errors when dribbling, skilling, passing, defending, tackling. According to the gameplay sliders(in the menu setting) , that you've admitted tuning, you have set the pace to acceleration higher up than actual sprint, which makes it a Skateboard simulator. Also, you went on to increase the possibility of mistakaes when intercepting the ball, when tackling and making it way harder to keep the bal.. YES, WE SEE YOU! STOP MESSING UP THE GAME AS IF WE WONT NOTICE. AND give the sweats the option to choose Competetive/Arcadey: Fast, unresponsive, fidget spinning, 0 ball iq, skating, harder to keep the ball. etc. Not all of us are addicted to brain damaging stress from this game.( REMOVE ) First Owner badge from the front of cards.
I have not enjoyed buying tradable cards from the market for years, not since FIFA 23. As an RTG player I am addicted to having a clean card face, and the First Owner badge on the front stops me from wanting to use or buy tradables at all. This keeps me locked into only RTG-style play and forces me to be extremely strict with my account, simply because the badge ruins the look of the card. It is especially even worse to evolve a tradable card because of this detail too! Please change the logic and move the First Owner badge to the back of the card instead. It is a new game, and small OUTDATED details like this should not stay untouched year after year.EA, mais servidores no BRASIL
EA, se vc quer que haja competição justa, crie mais servidores no Brasil. Seu jogo é uma porcaria em responsividade. Quem não mora nos arredores do Estado de São Paulo não aguenta mais perder pra gente ruim pq não seu jogo de **bleep** não consegue executar comandos. Penso que o ideal era todo mundo que sofre com esse peso largasse de jogar. Ai vocês criariam mais servidor. Por que os EUA tem vários servidores e o Brasil apenas um? Façam isso lá também, deixem só um servidor pra gente vê o que acontece com vocês. Vocês entregam a **bleep** dum jogo pesado, onde quem joga próximo ao servidor tem sua IA marcando td e vc não consegue fazer **bleep** nenhuma. VOCÊS só pensam nos clientes na hora de vender, seus infames! Eu amo jogar futebol, mas serei mais um a largar isso muito em breve. Jogar isso dá uma sensação de impotência pelas limitações causadas pela incompetência de vocês, principalmente saber que vc só vai ganhar de quem tá próximo do servidor, se o cara for muito, mas muito ruim msm. Vcs são a empresa que entregam o pior produto que já vi em termos de desenvolvimento de sistemas em 20 anos como engenheiro de software. Parabéns EA, vcs conseguiram unir 90% da comunidade. TODOS acham o seu jogo uma porcaria.Adeus, FC 26 lixo
Parabéns, EA. Vocês conseguiram. Vou me juntar aos tantos que já abandonaram essa porcaria. Tá sendo perda de tempo total jogar um jogo que não te deixa jogar. eu cansei de lutar... contra marcação automática que até hj vcs não tiraram (mais uma mentira das promessas de atualizações) contra o peso do jogo (O brasil não pode ter só um servidor) contra os packs nerfados, de ter que jogar 10..15 partidas de rivals pra não ter uma recompensa boa contra o script que força erros de passes (e normalmente te faz levar gol na jogada seguinte) contra o roubo que é ver a pina fazer gol de cabeça em cima do Van Dijk.... contra o roubo que é ver um zagueiro com pace 68 ganhar do meu atacante (que tem pace 94) contra as atualizações que mudam o jogo e sempre pra pior. contra a minha burrice de ainda ter gasto muito dinheiro em fc points no início do jogo por acreditar que vcs realmente iam entregar um jogo de qualidade contra a minha sanidade mental de aguentar um jogo que se vc faz 2x0, ele muda e vc começa a errar td, até vc perder ou ganhar dando a vida de um cara muito ruim contra a manipulação de resultados do seu script de handcap (um ainda verei alguém processá-los por manipulação) contra os gols de costas contra os botes de bunda contra as interceptações e botes sem cursor, onde a IA faz td pro cara que mora perto do servidor contra meu chute bufado sem força porque o jogo é tão pesado (com ping 26, coisa que não era nos FC anteriores), que meu chute sai fraco cansei... esse jogo tem muito mais pontos negativos do que positivos, não conheço uma pessoa, entre as tantas em tantos grupos, que fale que o jogo é bom Isso, vindo de um jogador que fazia rank 2 e pegava divisão elite no FC 25. Mas, simplesmente, a correria do meu dia-a-dia merece um passatempo melhor. Há muitos jogos em que não terei que lidar nem com peso, nem com manipulação. Mas uma coisa é certeza, não jogarei um jogo sequer que venha da EA! Vou deixar o vício do futebol só pra assistir mesmo. Se for pra voltar a jogar um simulador de futebol, prefiro me arriscar em outros do que este. Esse jogo não faz bem pra ninguém. É chato, É metódico, É só correr e dar triângulo. É ficar tocando a bola eternamente pra vê se a IA para de marcar. Saudades do FC 25, era ruim, sim, mas era muito melhor e mais técnico do que essa porcaria de FC 26 E não mudem meu post pra dentro de resposta de outro. vcs manipulam até esse forum
