EA SPORTS FC 26

Crosses / In Air stuff / Headers have been awful in FIFA/FC ever since I can remember. The game uses this weird mechanic where only 1 person on each team can go for the ball in the air and then it calculates a "winner" then just only does that action. Theres no physics at play or anything, its all predermined crap that hasnt been fixed for years.

Welcome technical improvements to the PC version!!

I personally use the DualSense on PC and they've put in all the haptic features! :APPLAUD:

All these shit and they still include option to max out the lods during gameplay camera, smh...

Oh, it seems like they added kernel level anti cheat too. So that counts me out from this franchise. Not installing invasive anti cheat like that while I don't even play online, neither do the servers stay active for more than few years anyways and you can't play online as a result. Meaning you will have an offline only game in few years but still have the kernel level bloat.
 
I jumped onto FC25 for one last time this morning, and actually think the fake Bergamo kit is ok, blue and black kinda. But wtf are those home kits for the Milan clubs?? The away kits are ok annoyingly. But the home versions?? So I jumped onto the EAFC kit creator and took five minutes to come up with something basic. I even tweeted at the official EA FC account (they listened before when I mentioned the home/away match option, which they added to FIFA 17). Here's what I came up with, the idea being close enough but not too close to get sued. Maybe the Milan one could have thin white lines either side of the black

Wow.

The sad thing is, my gut reaction to that screenshot is "that's revolutionary". And it's from FIFA 18, released eight years ago.

And the even sadder thing is, I don't believe we'll ever get back there.
 
That video you posted highlights the issue... it has been like that since FIFA 14. You see how the ball magically gravitates toward the player it wants to head it? Even though there are multiple people surrounding the player, it still results in a perfect header. This is an issue, at least for me!

Yes, in that video there are more people going for the ball than just 2 or 3 but its the same result.

Essentially, you are right.
Currently, none of the football games can achieve the realistic effect of multiple players competing for headers in an actual football match.

Additionally, the crossing mechanism in the FIFA series is worse than that in the PES series, particularly since FIFA 18.
 
In 14 headers were broken despite the promises (too easy to get, at least with auto crosses, and generally very dull and unsatisfying, imho easily the worse thing of on otherwise masterpiece). I don't care much for technicisms, I only know that from 16 to 18 I've found them very rewarding/balanced, then from 19 onwards they started to really feel what I define as "plastic", like in most aerial duels it's more like you are watching a pre rendered micro scene.. i remember watching time ago one of those silly "let's play all max height vs minimum height players" challenge videos on YouTube on one of the post 20 fifa/EA FC (can't remember which precisely, to be fair), and the fact that the short players, that looked like small children compared with the super tall ones, still somehow won almost if not all the headers in defence really underlined the concept.

On FB, someone posted the shirts for these teams for FC26. Much better than FC25 (even if Milan's is still a little dodgy), and hopefully the shorts match that (no more Milan orange shorts pls!)

And what should the kits be used for?

Inter and AC Milan are not licensed.

However, you can add the original kits to your PC via mod. At least until FC25.

It remains to be seen whether this will also work with FC 26.

It won't be added to me PC, as I play on PS5. My laptop can just barely run PES6, so I feel FC26 is a non-starter 🤣

And that is also a point to my post, if you're on PC, you wont care, as you can fix that. But us on console are stuck with it, and honestly, one of the big reason's I don't really use these teams is their kits. The whole game is full of licensed teams with full kits, and then you have these four in Italy that stand out like a naked guy in a stand full of Panathinaikos fans (the only dark coloured club I could think of)

I don't want to feed the Console - PC wars. I have an XBOX Series X too. But I really would recommend a PC with such games where you can mod these.

These requirements are very moderate. 4GB Vram, 8GB ram and CPU & GPU are ~ 10 or more years old.
The 100GB Storage are (should be not true for FC 26) not true. The last years it was around 40GB.

And you could try the 10h trial if it run smooth on your laptop.

I've got 4Gb RAM, a 10th Gen i3 & 40Gb storage thanks to PES6. Hence, the PS5
 


Gameplay live now

I just tuned in briefly. The two of them started a game between LFC and Atleti.
And I just thought, what the fack are they doing with this game? Absolute rubbish gameplay, and what was that pre-match nonsense?

Fire fountains everywhere and a spotlight show that just makes you want to throw up.
Who comes up with this BS?

Can't they just develop a FOOTBALL game? And not some kind of children's circus game with a ball and, well, 1 v 1!

Absolute disappointment!
:MAD:
 
Gameplay looks basically almost the same. They just put a cherry on top and some sprinkles on what FC25 gameplay was(it was dogshit)

Yep, looks like they reverted most of the FC 26 stuff to FC 25. The only visible change is the dribbling looking more fluid. Outside of that, it looks like it's FC 25 back again. Especially with the player positioning, physicality and passing and lack of player awareness.
 
It looks absolutely rancid. Not holding out much hope for authentic gameplay.
The "invention" of Authentic gameplay means that Competitive gameplay can finally go to the extremes that the streamers have been begging for. Zero AI, zero fouls, passes that teleport from player-to-player, 100% pass/shot accuracy, unstoppable shot power-ups, lampposts for goalkeepers, The Double-Digit Scoreline Guarantee™... The team of 11 Zlatans they've been advertising.

They know there's an audience desperate for realism (in-fact in a recent advert, "more realistic please" is one of the first lines of text you see). So as long as Authentic is separate... let Competitive be as crazy as they want.

(...and maybe they'll realise, upon trying Competitive, they've been crazy to wish for what they got.)
 
One thing missing, except a proper gameplay of course is a authentic representation of how the stadiums look in real life, wheres the pyro, smoke etc?
Has Fifa/EA FC ever had that?
Get that EA chickened out when it was FIFA due to both FIFA and UEFAS clampdown (or trying to) on those thing
Maybe not a big thing for some, to it is though
