Mass False Bans for “Balance Transfer” on PC
Throwback to 24.12.25, when EA’s automated detection system flagged thousands of PlayStation accounts for “balance transfer.” After 8–10 hours, they fixed the issue and unbanned everyone with a single click. Everyone thought the problem was resolved, the Wildcards promo continued, and the money kept flowing. Now, three weeks later, guess what’s happening on PC? Exactly the same thing that happened on Christmas Eve. Multiple accounts in my community have been banned over the span of just two days. Casual players, traders — you name it. I even tested the issue myself by hopping onto unused accounts, trading a few cards, and playing a couple of Rivals games. And guess what? After about 10 hours of normal gameplay, I got banned for literally no reason. We didn’t sell coins. Most of us didn’t use any external web app add-ons or bots. Just regular Weekend League gameplay with some trading on the side to improve our teams — literally using the in-game market as intended. My friends and I did some research to figure out what might have caused this. We reviewed the cards we bought and sold, as well as our profits and losses. Across all 14 accounts, there was exactly one common card purchased on every single account: Ibanez Winter Wildcard. The point of this post is to make this issue public and hopefully get it noticed by someone at EA. Many people have lost their time, money, and nerves. EA Help’s policy is based almost entirely on automated responses, so when you try to appeal a ban, you’re stuck resending the same message only to get rejected by a bot 24 hours later. It’s incredibly frustrating. I've already made a post on Reddit and X both got quite a big attention, but still no action by EA. So please, if you’re in the same situation, upvote this post. Feel free to comment about your experience with EA Help, and if you managed to get unbanned, let us know how you did it. Fellow EA FC 26 players — cheers.
FC 26 – Core Gameplay Broken by Camera Sync Issues
THIS ISSUE IS NOT ONLY IN RUSH!!!! Hello EA team, This issue has been ongoing for a long time, especially since you introduced RUSH mode into the game. It may sound complicated, but this is the reality: The problem has gotten much worse since last year, due to the major changes to the pitch size, angles, zoom height (now much higher), and the dynamic camera switching in RUSH. The issue is not only inside RUSH itself, but how the camera settings now affect the general gameplay experience in all other modes like Rivals or Squad Battles. In other words, the pitch changes, dimensions, and camera focus from RUSH also influence other Ultimate Team matches. The biggest factor: the camera. This is visible in player handling, first touch, passing, turning, and body orientation – which suddenly glitch when attacking near the goal. On top of that, gameplay is clearly different when pressing the camera focus button (PS5: touchpad, Xbox: “view/screen” button). Just like in RUSH, it switches focus from player to full pitch. The problem is that this function collides with and damages gameplay in other FUT modes, even when it’s not visually obvious – inputs and outputs change in a very noticeable way. Key observations: Passing and shooting reach: pressing the button alters reach drastically. Long passes: sometimes too short even with high power, or too long after switching focus. Short passes: can either hit a nearby opponent or suddenly fly 20 meters down the pitch. Shooting: Looks like long-distance shots (30–40m) even when standing just 15m from goal. Dribbling: The ball stays further from the foot, easier to lose. Defending: Tackling timing breaks due to “long focus” stretching the pitch. Narrow vs. Long focus: Narrow focus: more responsive short passes, tighter dribbling, tackles feel magnetic. Long focus: smoother look, faster flow, but unresponsive, with exaggerated animations. This creates imbalance: players who use the long focus gain unfair advantages (gliding movement, stronger long shots, faster pass execution). Camera setting collision (important): The collision is not only between RUSH and FUT modes – it also occurs between different in-game camera settings themselves. Switching between “Tele,” “Rush broadcast,” and others causes zoom/focus conflicts. These trigger the same gameplay inconsistencies (passing range, shooting, dribbling, tackling). Players can even meet in matches with different active camera focuses, which makes gameplay unequal. How to reproduce: Play one RUSH match on Rush Broadcast camera. Enter any FUT match (Rivals, Squad Battles, etc.). Use the camera focus button (PS5: touchpad, Xbox: “view/screen”). From here, the glitch activates permanently. Conclusion: The integration of RUSH camera logic into other modes has broken gameplay. It affects balance (passes, shots, dribbling, defending), input/output consistency, and the entire FUT experience. This issue used to be limited to RUSH/Rush Broadcast(and other rush cam's) , but now it extends further due to zoom changes, pitch dynamics, and coding mismatches (e.g., player distance vs. keeper is registered incorrectly). It’s disappointing to see such a core feature left unresolved, and I believe this has already cost EA many players who cannot accept a game that feels this inconsistent. I sincerely hope the development team investigates this as a priority. regards, a gamer with an IT degree
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.Лагает в EA FC 26
Здравствуйте, где то с позавчера (21.09.2025) начались лаги в режимах. Причем фпс показывает везде не меньше 60 (стоит 60 макс) Пинг максимум 20-25 мс. Лагает во всех режимах, кроме Rush, там все плавно. При подключении к Rivals по мимо лагов еще и геймпад не реагирует на отклик (показывает, что подключен, но кромы выхода в меню, и то, с задержкой, ничего больше не работает). К тому же, я смотрю всем выдается Кумир дебюта за предзаказ, но мне так ничего и не пришло. Просьба разобраться со всем этим, играть невозможно. PC1)Сервера EA недоступны 2)ошибка подключения к серверам EA
Не могу зайти в UT, либо захожу но не могу играть, выкидывает и пишет ошибка подключения, либо сервера сейчас недоступны. Вчера играл нормально, все грузило, играл нормально, позавчера не мог также зайти, еще несколько дней назад не мог войти, ни с телефона, ни с пк. Менял днс сервера на рекомендованные, не получилось, пытался играть с впн, не получилось, смог только с телефона зайти, перезагружал роутер, не помогло, удалял EA, не помогло.Missing Icon Swap Tokens – Anyone Else?
Missing Icon Swap Tokens I’m missing 2 Icon Swap tokens. I was very careful and definitely didn’t give any away or submit them by mistake. Because of this, I now have to win another 10 Champs matches to get R9, which is really frustrating. Has anyone else had this issue, or does anyone know how to fix it? Any help would be appreciated.Squad battles difficulty increase
I got rank 1 in squad battles like I normally do every week but the past 2 days I've been playing 90+ teams on world class difficulty, like always, and all of a sudden it's 10x harder. The CPU plays every pass first time and controls the ball perfectly and shoots perfectly. They play at light speed. It's incredibly difficult to win the ball back. Not only this but for me offensively, not only are they marking every run no matter what, but my attackers are no longer making runs into space and the emphasis on my dribble animations seems insane. Is anyone else experiencing this? It's so random usually I have no trouble with squad battles.FC 26 FACE SCAN/UPDATE
Hello EA SPORTS Team, I would like to suggest adding official face scans for the following players in EA SPORTS FC 26: Anis Hadj Moussa - Feyenoord Rotterdam Amin Chiakha - Vejle Boldklub Ibrahim Maza - Bayer Leverkusen Mohamed Amoura - Vfl Wolfsburg Himad Abdelli - Angers SCO Currently, their in-game faces do not accurately represent their real-life appearance. These players are becoming more popular and important for their clubs and national teams, and having real face scans would greatly improve realism and authenticity in the game. Thank you for your continued work on improving the quality of EA SPORTS FC.
