EA SPORTS FC 26

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Unfortunately, my PC's hardware is outdated and can't run the game.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!
 
This video shows what was wrong with this game for years. Playing 2 or 3 star teams is much better experience because lower agility statistics - 50% less skating on ice animations, players look more grounded and less unrealistic fast random turns. You can fix it on PC, unfortunately it is game over for console players :/

Just played a couple of Sudamericana/Libertadores exhibition matches and I actually really enjoyed them.

Both games on Authentic mode, a nice pace and the games felt really tactical.

Lack of fouls is an issue though. That is 4 games in total for me and not one free kick or card against the AI 👎🏻
 
Managed to get a refund when I cancelled EA Play on Xbox, so I got to try it a week early for free. Not bad.

I'll shop around for a bit, maybe wait for a discount. I'm definitely picking this one up.
 
My opinion has completely changed from the first day of release until now. I don't know what changed, but as if by magic, the game has become incredibly enjoyable. The AI on World Class/Authentic/Tactical difficulty is much more realistic. The player movements, the ball physics (which I hated at first), the inertia, the attacking and defensive situations... everything has changed.

Last night I played career mode all evening, and it was the best time I've had with a career mode in many years.

Edit : I play on PC

Yep, mid-table teams (like the first match in the video below, BOU vs EVE) feel much more natural compared to the BIG 6 (the other three matches).
 
Legendary difficult is unfair: they defend like i would like to do myself, they are able to park the bus and press closer to me. I don't know if it's my fault or what but I am not able to involve all those players at defending.

Anyways i am done, i will not buy fc26.
What i recorded on these video,plus the 1vs1 at defending is not for me.
I feel the game is not designed to be played at slow speed too (as Always), because i have too much defender jogging instead running.
U can't fix it because speed and acceleration in straight line, which is too much slow on authentic, is not the problem which is player turning/agility instead. Raise up Speed will raise up agility too,so Is impossible find a sweet spot.

This "never free" ball physics is not acceptable.

That's odd, as I've played about 6 games now, and I've seen the AI get a red & one game they had two yellows. I'm sure there's been a couple other yellows in other matches

It's my video mate. The game is great too with 5 stars teams. Playing on FUMA helps too.

I’m hoping that turns out to be the case, but it’s not my experience so far unfortunately. What console/mode are you playing?
 
I've never thought possible to have such God-awful graphics from the gameplay camera, I mean the pitch texture looks like it's colored with uneven layers of brown and green Crayola.
All the textures and colors are wax-like, there is no sense of depth or any strive towards a photorealistic representation of football.
It's also impossible to do proper color calibration.
