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
I can't make subs or tactical changes!
Many games i can't even access the team tactics, im completely locked out, AND i can't make assignments EVER, they reset as soon as i enter a match making me have women on corners to defend and stuff. This is getting really annoying and costing me so many games it's crazy, they need to **bleep**ing fix this im loosing my mind, have been in contact with ea help, last time i was in que for 7 hrs and didn't even get to talkC:\Users\Algip\Desktop\He made subs.png to anyone. EA is a criminal orginization at this point. What is going on??????? I will attach a 120minute match, don't you think i wanted to make subs or tactical changes for 120minutes???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.Europa League and Conference League in Tournament mode
I've seen lots of people asking for the Europa League and Conference League to be made playable in the Tournament mode, and this is 100% possible, as teams are no longer relegated between these competitions during the season anymore since the new formats started. Sadly, once again, you cannot play them in TM in FC 26 :( People have been asking for this for a long time, and it's really a waste of the license not to have it, as well as the fact that not every player supports CL sides and wants to play career mode to access them. If FC 26 is truly the game where EA is hearing the fans' suggestions, then get these activated in the coming patch, as all the assets exist in the game already to make this happen. If there's already an active post about this where genuine discussion is being had about this feedback, please merge or add this post to it, or at least point me in the right direction.
EAFC 26 keeps crashing – EAAntiCheatService exit code 0xC0000005
Hi, I'm experiencing constant crashes in EAFC 26 on PC. The game closes after 2-5 minutes in a match without any error popup. Event Viewer shows: EAAntiCheatService The game fc26.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0xC0000005 My specs: - CPU: Intel Core i9-13900KF - GPU: NVIDIA RTX 2080 (tested with latest driver 581.42 and rollback 552.44) - RAM: 32 GB DDR5 - OS: Windows 11 64-bit (Memory Integrity ON) Troubleshooting already tried: - Reinstalled EA App, EAFC 26, and EA Anti-Cheat - Changed installation folder and drive - Updated and rolled back NVIDIA drivers - Reinstalled Visual C++ Redistributables (x86 and x64) - Ran sfc /scannow and DISM - Disabled all overlays and background apps - Memory Integrity ON in Core Isolation Despite all this, the game still crashes mid-match with the same Anti-Cheat error. Please escalate this issue – it seems to be a bug with EA AntiCheat.
TOTY: A Huge Failure
I’m not going to whine and start with the usual “I saved this many packs and didn’t get anything” story. We already know how it goes. Streamers pack big players, regular players don’t. That part is nothing new. But this weekend was a complete disaster. First of all, the gameplay is at its worst level since launch. It’s honestly impossible to enjoy the game right now. I opened more than 300 saved packs and didn’t pack a single TOTY. Then I saw many other genuine players opening 1,000+ saved packs with the same result. One thing is clear: TOTYs are extremely hard to get. Streamer TOTYs don’t count. They are just marketing. They pack big players so that gullible players spend real money on in-game pixels. That system is obvious at this point. What shocked me even more was Weekend League and Rivals matchmaking. Almost every opponent I faced had at least two TOTYs in their squad. Out of 15 games, only 3 were against honest, no-money-spent players. I lost one of those games, and I don’t mind losing to a better player. The rest of my losses were something else entirely. Rebounds everywhere. TOTY players ignoring tackles, instantly winning the ball back even after clean dispossessions. Even when you somehow manage to take the ball, it just falls back to them. I finished with 9 wins, and honestly, many of those opponents were not good players at all. EA is clearly using honest players as meat grinders during this promo. There is nothing here for regular players. You are simply expected to watch rich squads score goals against you. This is EA at its lowest point for this promo. The EA magic is at its worst.Gamechanger Playstyle - it’s a curse
I’ve got serious concerns about the Gamechanger playstyle, while it makes sense as a playstyle, the way it’s automatically activated doesn’t. Finally had a little bit of pack luck and packed Kvaratskhelia but the playstyle almost makes him unusable at times. All the situation requires is a simple left foot (he’s 5* WF) across goal but instead the game forces him to do an trivela and the ball curls wide of the target and often out for a throw in… I wish I had the clip but I literally missed an open goal tap in at the back post because he decided to use that technique despite being so so so clearly on his left foot. I thought the idea was that they have the ability to be able to trivela not that it becomes almost their default shot. It defeats the point of him even having 5* WF if he’s never going to use it. Friends have had similar complaints with other players who have the silver playstyle as well. It’s a bit too prominent. I hope this is tweaked soon as unfortunately the best player I’ve packed has been banished to the subs bench because I can’t trust him to take a shot like a regular human.
