squad battles fut26 - overpowered AI
This POST is NOT about handicapping, momentum, or DDA!!!!!!! I DO NOT THINK THOSE MECHANICS EXISTS IN THE GAME!!!! This is a statement about the game’s very poor understanding and application of numerical values, mathematical calculations, and the algorithms that are supposed to translate player stats into actual gameplay. Fix the ridiculously overpowered and borderline unplayable AI in Squad Battles. At this point, the mode is zero fun because the gameplay constantly ignores the most basic logic of player stats. 83 Pace AI > 99 Pace User Player And it isn't just pace. The same nonsense happens with strength, passing, reactions, defending, agility and pretty much every other stat. The game seems completely incapable of consistently translating the numbers presented on the cards into what actually happens on the pitch. At times it genuinely feels like confused.com: football edition EA, you seriously need to review the mathematics behind this game. And please note — I know this may come as a shocking mathematical revelation: 99 > 83. ALWAYS. A 99 Pace player should not be easily outrun by 83 Pace AI player. Maybe hiring someone with average mathematical skills would be a good starting point, because after all these years I still shouldn't have to explain that 99 is a greater number than 83 but here we are. The cards have stats for a reason, if not remove the stats altogether. If those stats don't translate into gameplay, then what exactly is the point of upgrading our teams? What is the point of 99 pace? What is a point to obtain higher rated players, if the AI makes a bronze card OVERPOWERED? Please fix Squad Battles and make the gameplay actually respect the attributes displayed on the cards for both user and AI. And let the numbers on the screen and the football on the pitch actually speak the same language. Ta,
All time stats
What do people think about all time stats? I wish career mode had all time stats e.g if I buy a player then spend 5 seasons with them I'll love to see all their stats during their time at my club. It could also be fun trying to target a record like Shearer's all time record or Rooney's Man U all time record. Clean sheets as well. I just wish past season's data carried over. Does anyone know of a mod capable of this though?This is why im not buying FC 27
The FC 26 development team at EA Vancouver and EA Romania did not simply fail. They engineered failure while treating the player base with open contempt. These are the people who looked at years of clear feedback and decided the bold move was to make free progression in Ultimate Team even more miserable. They reduced rewards, slowed the power curve just enough to punish anyone who refused to spend, and watched major creators publicly abandon the mode while the rest of the community quietly left. That was not an accident. That was the design. Make the non-spenders suffer so the only remaining path is the store. They marketed the entire release around better communication and listening. They filled pre-launch interviews and Pitch Notes with promises. Then the second the full-price copies stopped selling they went silent for months. When they finally spoke it was only to admit they “missed the mark.” Missed the mark on the one thing they had spent months claiming was their priority. The same team that demanded trust before launch decided the players who actually buy and grind the game were not worth consistent updates or honest dialogue once the money was secured. On the pitch they delivered the same broken defending, unreliable passing, and lifeless AI positioning that has defined the series for years. They patched one problem and immediately created three more. Spinning metas, unresponsive fullbacks, goalkeepers who forget how to move, and a Career Mode still full of the same ancient bugs and unrealistic systems. Decade-old issues treated like optional extras. This was never just incompetence. It was a calculated lack of respect. They knew what the community wanted. They nodded along. Then they shipped a product that showed exactly how little those players mattered once the pre-order numbers were locked in. Every delayed response, every half-measure patch, every quiet removal of grindable content sent the same message: your time and your feedback are optional. They should not get to hide behind “we are listening” any longer. Listening without acting is just noise. Promising better communication and then vanishing is not a mistake. It is a choice. And that choice proved, once again, that the people in charge of FC 26 are structurally incapable of delivering anything better while the cycle continues.It's END GAME and not pre-season!!!!
Dear EA, Call it the END GAME - Pre-season doesn't make sense! Can we finally stop calling this “PRE-SEASON”? 🤣 Imagine playing “Pre-Season” with a full 99-RATED TEAM, only for the “new season” to begin and — POOF! — your team magically turns into a bunch of 75-rated rubbish! 🤣🤣🤣 The final season of FC/FIFA has always been known by the community for what it actually is: END GAME We spend the final weeks building ridiculous 98–99 rated squads, completing endless SBCs, Evolutions and objectives, chasing the best cards in the entire game just to move to the next game and start again, ?! 🤪 WHAT PRE-SEASON?! 😂 Nothing carries over: The 99-rated squad doesn't carry over. The Evolutions don't carry over. The hundreds of hours of grinding don't carry over. You are not preparing us for the next season — YOU ARE PREPARING US TO BUY THE NEXT GAME AND START THE SAME GRIND FROM ZERO! No way dude! 🤣 That's not “Pre-Season.” That's END GAME with a marketing label slapped on it. And it's awful! After 12 months of grinding, the END GAME should be the celebration: crazy cards, huge rewards, ridiculous squads and FUN. Instead, somehow even the END GAME has been turned into another miserable grind where you're still protecting 99-rated cards like they're endangered species. 🤣You made the gameplay so impassible to play to forces us to jump to a new game hopping for better experience! Manipulative, sad and pathetic! EA, THE GAME IS FINISHED and calling this “Pre-Season” doesn't magically make FC 26 the beginning of something. IT'S THE END So let FC 26 END with a BANG! Instead of dropping FC26 lifeless body down to the ground and dragging its broken corpse across the finish line and calling it “Pre-Season.” 💀🤣 P.S2 I cannot believe I didn't manage to fit even ONE clown emoji into this post! My bad. 🤣 I'm sorry, FC community! I'll do better next time! 😂Position System Improvements for FC 26
EA should improve the position system in FC 26. Double Pivot (DP) should be compatible with both CM and CDM, rather than being treated as a separate position. For example, in Real Madrid’s 4-2-3-1, Valverde (CM) can play alongside Tchouaméni (CDM) without being considered out of position. Also, 4-4-1-1 could work as a 4-4-2 with a false 9, bringing back the CF position. It could work like DLB/DRB in FC 24 for back 5 formations: these are tactical roles, not necessarily natural player positions.
Opponent leaving the match
Last 2 matches I’ve won by a fairly decent difference but my last 2 opponents left the match when it was close to ending, and I’m not getting the 3 points which is annoying because it is just as if I would have never played those 2 matches. What can I do? Because this ain’t the first time this happens?
