EA SPORTS FC 26

After playing a couple of more hours I dont like it at all. Maybe a little better than 25 but overall when Im playing I just keep on asking myself why I do this to me - its nothing like I want a football game to be. Its actually pretty awful.
 
I hate EA. I've bought Ultimate Edition for 99,99 € and still couldn't play a single game. Absolute disgrace.

I'm experiencing a full system freeze after playing EA FC 26 for just 2 minutes. There’s no BSOD or crash report — the whole PC just locks up (sound stop but screens keeps showing a picture). Because of that, I thought it might be something GPU-related, maybe a driver issue or some setting that’s messing things up.

I’ve already tried lots of fixes, but nothing helped. Every time the game freezes and i have to shut off the pc by holding power button.

It’s a new PC build, and I haven’t had any issues with it before. It's only happening after 2-3 min while playing EA FC...

Hands off lads, don't buy it.
 
Just renewed my EA Play membership to unlock the 10 hour trial.

Must admit I was hoping to read through the first impressions on this thread and be pleasantly surprised, but it looks like an overwhelmingly negative experience so far.

I do think you need to get a feel for the game yourself. I didn’t mind FC25, but there was nothing there to grip me into a long term save and some of the fundamentals of the game were completely broken. FC26 does not seem like a major step change despite the promising introduction of Authentic Mode.

Hopefully I can play a couple of games tonight.

Make sure that your computer isn't overheating.. That could be an issue, which I solved with a program called Throttlestop.

It is a 100 °C for some seconds only in the beginning when the game loads shaders. But in the menu its not overheating at all. After i switched to power saving mode, that was not the problem. But anyway thanks for sharing your solution, mate.
 
@sir_mamont oh ok, mate.. I would still recommend you using the program, because even if only for a few seconds, 100 degrees for a CPU might not be good for the computer! I've used it for years with no issues. (with the recommended configuration in the link above). Anyway, hope you can solve the overall issue.. :TU:

Im honestly jealous, really wanted to like it so i just had a football game i could play on console but the player movement is honestly the worst ive ever seen in a sports game period. How in 2025 there feet have no relation to the ground or physics is insane.

Same, feels so on rails and no inertia /randomness with the ball.
 
Gameplay aside, I'm really underwhelmed by the graphics & lighting on PS5. UFL looks better (that game is shit though)
 
I had just restarted the game. Among other things, I had done a squad update and then changed something in the game settings – unfortunately, I don't remember exactly what I changed.

Then I wanted to see if Barca's anthem was included. (It isn't.)
So I played a game for maybe a minute or two.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but it seemed to me that the gameplay with manual passes had improved somewhat.
That is, passes no longer went exactly to the foot of the recipient. It wasn't like a magnet, from foot to foot.

So there was a noticeable increase in freedom.

Since I know that the latest editions of EA FC/Fifa often had life tuning updates that caused changes to the gameplay, that would be the only plausible explanation for me that this was also the case here.
But I'm not sure. Whether it was the placebo effect or actually something positive from EA.


In any case, if that was the case, it was heading in the right direction.

Please, please EA, don't mess this up!
I only bought EA FC 26 because of the authentic gameplay.

And the authentic gameplay can't be authentic enough!

The comments under that tweet shows how ignorant people are about games.
"It shouldn't be realistic because it's a video game" says someone. Omg. Then by that logic all the games should be like super Mario.
And we wouldn't have a masterpiece like RDR2.

Guys, we're just fooling ourselves. We won't have the sim game we want under the same game.

Ea should make separate ea fc 27 and Fc ultimate games. And no, FC ultimate game shouldn't be free like efootball. Put a $90 price tag on it and they'll all buy it in a heart beat. Since money isn't a problem for them
