FC 26 PRO CLUBS THREAD AND DISCUSSION ( IMPORTANT )
this will be a repost from my fifa 22 forums post, fifa 24 forums post and fifa 14 - 15 forums post ( i got banned in all of them ) and everything still applies: Starting from fifa 10-14 fifa Pro clubs was the best mode You could play . 11 vs 11 With human players the beauty of getting actual 22 players like the real life sport and a collective effort towards a goal felt unreal . After that the game mechanics changed to run down the wing simulator Where you have 1 short guy (because tall guys can never be fast) and 1 Tall guy and the short guy runs down the wing holding right trigger on your controller and presses the cross button and tall guy heads it in . It became a game that only required you to spam X button on your controller and you’ll spam away until it works and it will work . Now I’ve been fortunate enough to play in custom organized 11 vs 11 leagues since FIFA 11 . Ranked 1 club in the world to leagues like VIFA , VPSA , VPFL , iFVPAA international, VFL , IVL , WPSA , ELITE FC , FIFA K1NGZ , l Ambitious l these are clubs in XBOX and custom leagues 11 v 11 all organized by third parties with large number of players because FIFA doesn’t want it to get a competitive platform going for clubs . There was a time where people were genuinely interested in investing their time off their real life with no pay but for the passion of the specific pro clubs where the wins were satisfying and losses felt emotional . FIFA pro clubs had and still has such a potential . I’ve posted a thread in this forum 11 years ago about clubs where I proposed ideas such as : 1) ADD A SUBSTITUTION OPTION ( where if your friends join late they can be be subbed in instead of a bot if you are playing regular division club matches it’s bots and only 2 members ) 2) ADD A SPECTATOR MODE ( where if a player wishes they can sit in the bench and watch a live game as it’s being played I know someone can stream but watching a game from in game is better since if you play competitive leagues you may have more than 11 players on at the same time and based on your competitive matches you can spectate and make decisions into next game subbing people on and off while they literally watch the game from the bench making it actually realistic . 3) ADD PAID DLC so EA actually gives a s*** . It’s very clear EA does not make money off pro clubs and ultimate team is the money maker mode with all the micro transactions and that’s why they stopped caring about pro clubs mode . Now this Idea allows them to atleast make some sort of money and get more support for clubs and get some sort of motivation to help improve hardcore pro clubs players . 4)BRING BACK lobbies and 11 v 11 modes and drop ins . Yes I know it was chaotic and people fighting for same spots but atleast you didn’t constantly just play 1 v 1 in empty lobbies . The point of this mode is multiplayer and the chaos it brings but it’s beautiful when everyone works together and you are rewarded . There’s also a mode once upon a time where you could play 11 v 11 with irl players in lobbies that’s also been taken away from us .. for no reason Here I am at my mid - late 20s just reminiscing and reminding myself that I made this exact post 11 years ago posting 3 constructive feedback as a customer who cares about the game mode and willing to pay a little bit more to see a little bit more . But I know posting a constructive comment or feedback will get me permanently banned on this forums again . It’s the end of this mode it’s unfortunate the population of the pro clubs dropped 196% past 10 years gradually .. it’s 2022 moving into 2023 you can’t tell me adding 2 things that’s really hard for them ? Just 1 or 2 actual features ?? Instead of just renaming “traits” into “archetypes “ or changing specialties into “perks” these are not improving the game it’s showing veterans that you don’t care anymore about the game anymore because money runs the world . I have no words but to just say this I had to let it out and I know my ideas are not perfect but atleast I tried . I’m from Vancouver British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 where the FIFA franchise has been made . I’m out thanks for the read if EA doesn’t permanently ban me and censor me I’m sure you’ll be able to read this . FIFA 23 is the Last ever FIFA since EA lost licensing and it has been an era of huge disappointment and they let all of down with no effort. They don't care as long as the money comes in. Now with FIFA 25 and 24 we had issues with drop ins not finding players to people hacking in FC 25 clubs modes or glitching to slow down defenders. The gameplay is dead and 10 year old games now perform better. updated add on : Instead of focusing on 1.2 Billion hair and audience animations which no one cares about why not focus on fixing gameplay , adding all the features requested to pro clubs.. or is it the greed of ultimate team packs and micro transactions thats preventing you from doing it? It is The end of what was to be best of our times . They had multiple chances to resolve multiple years to add and improve.... but now its gone. Forever a memory that cannot be re-lived again. Now with FIFA giving up ON EA the only thing they have added is "CROSS-PLAY" within same generations thats their only real "Feature" still you cannot substitute players into a match. This game the potential to be a major E-SPORT ground since 2012 if they played their cards right and maybe into top E-SPORT platform and even in Olympic E-SPORT for pro clubs 11vs11. At this point EA should just delete and close the franchise. Instead of faking it and renaming old conventions such as "traits" now being called "playstyles" then calling it a "new thing" just stop pretending and delete the franchise since you failed and get back to making a proper game like battlefield. Dont put half effort into it just go all in with full effort or give up completely . Dont waste your own time or your customers time faking it the whole time. You gave up on us ... and we will give up on you. This year is your last chance to redeem yourself as a final note before you file for bankruptcy. I know admins will ban me yet again for expressing a VALID and Legit concern as a paying customer. As usual...
Ea are a bunch of money grabbing liars
Everything ea claim to do is a lie The game gets worse everyday and they say they are fixing problems and listening to the community but they just aren't, the game just seems to be getting worse, the changes they say they've made, they just haven't and the changes they have supposedly made, arent at all the outstanding problems in the game, why does my player have a role ++ and play in the wrong position or why do I breathe down my opponents neck and it's a penalty? Im currently 2-6 in champs and for someone who normally comfortably gets 7 or 8 wins, this is pathetic, they say they've "balanced" out opponents but every game is harder than the last And my pack luck is awful, I'm stuck getting 83s while everyone else has yamal, dembele, de jong, reijnder, and every other good player, my friend packed Totw haaland tradeable, pack luck is not random, they just assign random people packluck and they coincidentally are actually doing well because they're teams are up to date with the game while my best player is 85 dzeko Games goneStrange Gameplay…
Just been at my mates house playing EAFC26 rivals, he’s in division 1 and has an awful connection like 50 ping every single game, but his gameplay is so fast and smooth it’s crazy, I didn’t lose a single game. The I got home, went to play a few games on my own account, division 5, playing on a 2GB wired fibre connection with no more than 10 ping every single match, I live 10 minutes from an EA data centre and I’ve never seen gameplay so slow in my life, it was like I went from 100% gameplay speed on his account to 25% gameplay speed on mine. The game obviously favours certain players because I’m a much better player than him with a much better connection but somehow he’s a higher division and his gameplay is 100 times better. Can anyone explain why this happens or is it just some hidden nonsense from EA??Let’s all be honest with ourselves - EA FC 26 is terribly bad.
I am going to outline some points below in which I believe makes this year’s game horrible to play. Feel free to give your opinions on these points as well, as I’m genuinely curious to see if anyone else is on the same wavelength as me. Keep in mind these are my own opinions from playing the game quite a bit since early access launched. I’ll also add that I’m a Division 5 player on Ultimate Team - offline I play Legendary. Nothing special by any means, just a casual player. 1). Defending: This year, defending and the point I’ll detail in point 2 of this list are the main factors as to why this game is so terrible to play. If you’re left-stick dribbling, it is impossible to win the ball from an opponent. It just seems like the speed of tackling animations is too slow to handle the dribbling animations. Rarely am I able to time a tackle perfectly and win the ball cleanly and fairly. Vice-versa if I’m on the attack, as all I need to do is some tiki taka passing and left-stick dribbling to be through on goal. AI defending is equally as bad, with defenders making alien runs tracking back nowhere near the passage of play, leaving players wide open to receive a pass. Does anyone else get that weird animation when committing a defender to a challenge, the attacker can manage to get past, but your defender is trapped in a force field (like 2 opposing sides of a magnet) and can’t not within a yard of the player? 2). Too many goals: I don’t think I’ve played a game of UT this year which didn’t have a minimum of 8 goals. I had a Rivals game end 11-9 yesterday (I will attach the proof)… 20 goals in one game of FIFA? Come on man. It is way too “arcade-y”. Pass, dribble, shoot, score. On repeat. Is anyone like me that enjoys a well fought, well defended 1-0 or even a 0-0 which is hard to split? I understand it’s not meant to be super realistic, but the amount of goals, whether nicely worked or just plain BS, makes this game so boring and predictable. 3). Goalkeepers: Where do I start with goalkeepers, man? Again, I don’t think EA nailed the goalkeeper animations this year. Any keeper without the ‘footwork’ play style? Good luck getting anywhere near a low-driven, or for that matter, any shot aimed below the belt line. I feel like one game, your keeper can feel like a prime Buffon, then the next can’t get a hand to anything that comes his way. I think this has to tie in with the high scoring model for UT, which EA seem to be promoting and not willing to change. Very frustrating. Even the goalkeeper save / deflection animations are way off, like when a keeper saves a pretty tame shot and it ends up flying into row Z at a million miles per hour. 4). Kick off goals: Yeah, I’ll leave it at that. 5). Patches: This one I’m most interested in to hear your different opinions on. I just feel like you can play the game for a while and get used to the way it plays, but when a patch or a gameplay update is released, it feels like a brand new, totally different version of the game. Nothing ever feels the same and is drastically different to what you’ve been used to for the previous however long of playing, so you need to spend ages trying to figure out how to adapt as the change feels so drastic. To me, it feels more like an overhaul of changes, rather than subtle tweaks to genuinely improve the gameplay experience. Formations and custom tactics take the biggest hit for me with this one, and a full rebuild is required almost always.
La IA es estúpidamente impasable
Es increíble que uno tenga que batallar y pasar rabias jugando contra la IA que a drede te hace perder con goles increibles, jugadores donde hasta los delanteros parecen Maldini quitando balones y los defensas Pelé regateandote y haciendo tiempo, y luego al tener el balon tus jugadores no aguantan una y se las quitan sin forcejear ni nada, ya me aburrí de esta **bleep** de juego, encima los de pc debemos aguantar que la optimizacion sea una basura y las configuraciones se restauren cada que tienes que entrar en el juego, el que esta **bleep** cueste 80 dolares es un robo a mano armada, mi ultimo FC que comproIs every player humming dizzy in their heads as they spin round and round
I sit watching the latest person get into my half and then just start spinning round and round in circles like a demented spinning top and wonder in theyre heads are they humming the reeves and Mortimer classic dizzy in there heads or the Kylie classic I'm spinning around because I certainly find myself humming or singing them It's bizarre!!!Complaint about FC26 gameplay (serious feedback)
Complaint about FC26 gameplay (serious feedback): Honestly, we’re extremely tired. Every week you promise to fix and improve the game, but the reality is completely the opposite. You keep saying “we’ve made improvements,” yet everything keeps getting worse. The kickoff glitch is now worse than ever, the signals are even more broken than last year, and the corner glitch is just ridiculous — press a few buttons, shoot, and somehow it’s a goal. The game has completely lost its fun. Attacking is way too overpowered — anyone can score from almost anywhere. Goalkeeper reactions inside the box are embarrassing, and defending feels unrealistically difficult. As for the balance between male and female players, it’s completely unacceptable. Any female player can easily knock down Van Dijk, Haaland, Stam, or any top male defender — that’s unrealistic and ruins the gameplay experience. We’re sick of empty promises and broken updates. Please, listen to the community and fix the gameplay before this game completely loses the players’ respect.CHEATERS
Hackers ruined the experience for PC players from the very first week of FC 25. Cheats were available for purchase on DAY ONE, and the game quickly became unfair and unplayable. Many of us quit not because the game was bad, but because it stopped being competitive and fun. If FC 26 doesn't launch with a strong anti-cheat system from day one, you're going to lose a whole segment of your community in the first week.
