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...
Let us add/develop/remove Playstyles in Career Mode
Until they add the ability to add/remove/develop/lose playstyles, the in game career mode experience will always be lacking. Youth players without playstyles will never be good in game with no way to develop them. Star players missing a key play style have no way to develop into your perfect player, and we’re forced to prioritise 14 year olds who somehow already have 7 playstyles as the only path to developing elite players, It’s ridiculously unrealistic. It feels ridiculous you can develop one of these players to be 90 overall and they’ll just be a blank slate with stats. Not to mention I keep getting 5'7 Wingers with "Aerial" and "Power Header" as their main Playstyle it just isn't realistic or the CB with no defending Playstyles but they somehow have "Chip Shot" and "Dead Ball" please let us add, edit and remove Playstyles in order to make the game more immersive, it's also unrealistic for a high potential player to not have any Playstyles at all. EA really needs to do something with development to let us add playstyles. I'd be in favour of something related to in game performance, like FUT Evos. - The most basic things like scoring so many Finesse Shots giving the corresponding playstyle etc. Playstyles are the biggest upgrade the game has ever had in terms of making players feel unique - If they were properly integrated into career mode, the customisation options would be huge. The current lazy implementation is such an absolute waste of what really could be a great feature for Career Mode.OST Suggestion for EA FC26
Hey EA Team, I’ve always been a fan of EA Sports FC and FIFA game soundtracks for years and still listen to the playlist of the FIFA 08 OST. I just came across a song that would be an amazing addition to the OST of EA FC 26: "Snap" by Manifest. It instantly transports me to the thrill of past games with its vibrant and uplifting energy. I think it could really enhance the game's atmosphere and rekindle that classic excitement. Please consider adding it to the soundtrack! Here is a link to a fan-made demo of the song with the FC 25 in-game menu: https://x.com/itssevvalfb/status/1949028404747272264Soundtracks
Hey there! As a group of FIFA fans from Türkiye, we’re super excited for FIFA 26! EA Sports always brings fresh ideas and amazing energy into the game, and we’re really looking forward to what’s coming next. We’d love to recommend a song that we believe would be a perfect fit for the FIFA 26 soundtrack — “Snap” by Manifest. The powerful beat and energetic vibe would add so much to the atmosphere, especially during menus or intros. The "la la la la" part at the end really reminds us of the unforgettable World Cup feeling, similar to 2010 vibes. Including this song would make the experience even more exciting for players. We hope you consider it, and we can’t wait to see what surprises FIFA 26 brings! All the best from the Turkish community!Clubs and Kits
Ea please add to clubs for the AI’s to be able to read plays and get motivated or play harder when going down. AI players should react to the game how the game is being played winning or loosing. AI players should be able to make the best decision 49% of the time. PLEASE ADD CLEATS/BOOTS AS THEY COME OUT IN REAL LIFE. CUT SOCKS AND GRIP SOCKS WOULD ADD TO THE REALISM. CLEATS SHOULD VE UPDATED AS THEY ARE RELEASED RETRO KITS AND CLEATS IN REGULAR GAMEPLAY WOULD BE AN EXTRA, ANYTHING REAL SOCCER FANS AND GAME FANS WOULD BE HAPPY ABOUT!!!!Authentic gameplay be added for online matches and seasons
Could the option of authentic gameplay be added for online matches and seasons? At least have the option to choose. I'd like to play against friends or people in simulation mode (seasons already let you filter if you want to play in manual mode, so it wouldn't be so difficult to do). EA, give us options, don't limit your game!
SUBSTITUTES IN CLUBS & BENCH CAM
We really need to be able to make substitutes in clubs during and match or half time. Some players join matches in clubs late and wana get on but have to wait and stare at the formation screen as others play and end up leaving , So with SUBSTITUTES this wouldnt happen and a manager can add fresh players on the pitch or take off a player that needs to do something or is tired ect and makes the game realistic every game mode has subs accept clubs which is unfair and a bench cam woul be grate to watch the match from the sidelines when on the bench in clubsRequest to Add Turkish National Team to EA SPORTS FC 26
Dear EA Sports Team, As a long-time fan of the franchise, I would like to express my disappointment that the Turkish National Football Team is not included in EA SPORTS FC 26. Turkey has a strong football culture and a large fanbase that deserves representation. With the addition of Turkish commentary this year, we believe it’s the perfect time to also bring back the national team. Please consider adding Turkey in an upcoming update or DLC. Thank you for your attention.Please add Polish 1st League (Fortuna 1 Liga) to FC 26
Hello EA team, I'm a big fan of EA Sports FC, and I would love to see the Polish 1st League (Fortuna 1 Liga) included in FC 26 or future editions. Clubs like Wisła Kraków, Arka Gdynia, GKS Katowice have many fans and a long history. Adding this league would be exciting for Polish players, especially for Career Mode. Please consider it in your next update. Thank you! Best regards, ijcjmcgfjf
