EA SPORTS FC 26

Tried the EA pass trial , total garbage. Players float about yet slow and sluggish , on semi literally the AI controls everything . You can press pass button with no direction and the AI will complete a pass for you .

Faces are nice though , back to pes 21 modded
 
The Player Feedback Portal is open.

When you start your trial/early release today, you should see a pop-up with a QR code. Scan this with your phone and you can give feedback on any part of the game you like - including gameplay, split into several categories (e.g. passing).

They also have a box to provide YouTube clips of your issue, so if you have any clips, please provide them to enhance your chance of being listened to.

The basic link is here - click me - BUT I would recommend using your personal one if possible, using the QR code mentioned above, as it's bespoke to you.

Since they are evaluating feedback more closely this year, I think it's worth it to fill it up. The majority of FC players aren't going to fill it up(since they are casuals) so this is the biggest chance for our voice to be heard.
 
To be honest, the game would not look different with David Rutter. We have to realize that this is the most they have to do.
If FIFA 17 had been delayed by a year to switch to the Frostbite engine, and instead been developed on the Ignite engine that year, one can only imagine what kind of status they could have achieved with FIFA 17.

I just tried @saturator's manual sliders and it makes a big difference on overall feel, but as Paris FC vs PSG, I had 96% pass accuracy (vs 86%). On MANUAL passing. :(

Precision passing (R1+:triangle: or RB+Y) removes the rails, and it's lovely to use, but I think it's 100% manual.

1) It shouldn't take 100% manual input to allow a free ball and introduce error, 2) it's still a "fake" ball in as much as any deflections will go to a man - not free, and 3) the pass accuracy on them was almost 100% despite being manual...

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!
I agree with that. Something has changed today, and we know that EA is used to doing live updates...
 
i know this isn't how the developers want you to play the game but legacy defending is broke. Whether it's primary or second man pressure it always puts you in the wrong position. It's as if it aims your player to where the ball carrier was a couple of steps earlier
 
Authentic toggle on
Competitive master switch on
Player based difficulty on
Custom AI with high aggression and crossing
Sliders that reduce line length, increase pass error, increase shot error, increase acceleration, increase run frequency, increase marking, increase first touch error, increase ball randomness --- is probably where the optimal offline settings will end up.

It's still built for online and doesn't grip you on the pitch offline.

Just managed to fit in a couple of games - Honest first impression is a bit ‘meh’.

Personally, it did not feel like a major upgrade on FC25. Absolutely nothing about it got me up out of my seat.

I will keep plugging away and see how I feel at the end of the trial.
 
This video features some interesting tweaks for PC users. I thought the PC version was incredible. The colors, smoother gameplay, and slimmer players (not bloated fat ones). Of everything I've seen so far, this is what I liked most.
Unfortunately, my PC's hardware is outdated and can't run the game. :(

 
Yeah just finished trying this game it's the same trash don't fall for it good call with the EA play 10 hour trial. My problem with frosbite fifa games has always been the lack of weight everything is floaty the ball feels like it's a balloon no sliders can fix how stupid the AI is in this game the midfield moves in rows and I constantly bypass them with like 3 passes now this would be fine if I was using Barcelona against Osasuna but how the hell are league 2 midfielders able to keep pinging accurate through balls to their wingers against premier league clubs how I'm I able to play one touch football with 60 rated players against 80 rated players why does the ball keep flying around like a balloon why are the goalkeepers seemingly stuck on their lines even pes 19 had that player DNA feature that had sweeper keepers come out to clear the ball and this is all before they start making their weird title updates that speed up and ruin the game for good. What I'd give for PES 21 with an actual functioning regen system and academy I'd spend years on a master league if that was an option

Don't forget that the 60 rated players you mention are still professional footballers. They could probably still run rings around you. They just aren't at the elite level that the EPL stars are
 
As usual, there are many differents feelings aBOUT this game.
Last year, simulation sliders, was a first step in the right direction.
This year, with "Authentic mode" settings, it's another step.

I have made maybe 20 matchs, and all were fun. On Legend and World Class. Why?

The CPU is playing, not like a robot, but like an human. The players on the pitch are now alive : they are running , sometimes they calm down the tempo, they crosses when they have to.

I have seen two big issues : the contact between the ball and our foot : no logical physics at all. The ball hits and the speed falls down at 0 km immediatly. It's shoking to see that. FC 25 was better.

And no fault. I didn't yet have a more physical game like I did on FC 25.

If they fixed that, this game will be really nice to play.

I'm the only on who lost many games on World Class ? The game is harder than FC25.

Every time I've lost, the AI scored 4. They're 100% a challenge to play against
 
Can't believe there are exactly two decades between EAFC 26 and the release of FIFA 06. Not in my top 10 football games as my favorite, but its core was about enjoying football.

Such a great intro:



...fluid on the pitch, no twitching or skating, AI doing what's supposed to be done in a sports game; overall just on point football experience:



Again, released 20 years ago...


When it comes to that intro...

The accent is so, so bad. Ruins the whole thing!

This thread, among other things, hardly fills me with optimism. Hoping (I think) to give it a go tonight.
 
Hello,
After three years without FIFA EA Sport, Football Life 2025 is very good in terms of gameplay, but the Master League mode is repetitive.
I wanted to know if FC 26 or FC 25 is compatible with RESHADE PC (greatly improves graphics with the options).

Thanks in advance.
 
I tried the game on Series X, and honestly, this is the most disappointing FIFA launch I've ever experienced. Players move at 2–3x the speed than they should—it's not just sprinting or ball movement, it's the entire tempo of the game accelerating year after year. What's the point of implementing Hypermotion for realistic animations if you're just going to override them with 2-3 x more speed? For the first time in many years, I won't buy the game at launch.

If you play in authentic mode, the speed is great so I don't understand. If online, yes the game seems very fast this year!
