[FC 26] TrueFoot — Realism Gameplay Mod (Free) — v1.3 is live (TU 1.6.5)

Update — v1.2 (TU 1.6.3) is live:
Thanks for all the feedback, and for your patience the past couple of weeks while I was dealing with some hospital stuff. This is the biggest tuning pass yet, and almost all of it came from your clips and comments.

  • Passing leans on who's on the ball — weaker sides are more prone to misplace a pass, and rushing one under pressure is riskier. Interceptions come into play more, with defenders stepping into a lane to read it.
  • A CPU that plays more like a team — it holds its shape, contains you, dives in less, and attacks with more purpose. It shields the ball under contact too, so winning it back takes a real challenge.
  • Keepers rebalanced — more room for parries and rebounds, and shots find the same corner less. Keeper rating carries more weight.
  • More — livelier crosses, more competitive aerials, more physical collisions, and fixed rain/snow ball physics.

One to feel out: contact cuts both ways now — shield the ball with your body and pick your moment instead of forcing it out of a tight spot.

Add-ons — load order matters: in FIFA Mod Manager the bottom mod wins, so put any add-ons BELOW the base TrueFoot mod. Full guide: https://truefootmods.com/install

Still a work in progress — making it feel real is a constant balancing act. Tell me what feels off here or on Discord (TrueFoot Discord). Cheers.

The v1.2 video is up — see it in motion: the shirt pulls and body contact, the CPU holding its shape instead of diving in, keepers parrying instead of catching everything:

Your amazing effort with every update keeps getting better and better , with the v1.2 i am really impressed with all the feeling one think i mentioned and needs fix is the positioning of the players especially when i try to make a cross the attacker seems on most of the timew not to be at the corrrect position theyt use to get pretty close to the player that makes the cross
 
I also find very hard to make headers and score ... not sure if it is possible to fix with gameplay mods, or it is fundamental problem.

Anyhow, i would love this mod to continue in EAFC27, because I find it closest to my prefered style of gameplay.

Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked it. You're right, i have notes on positioning. The positioning of the attacker when crossing the ball was something i was also concerned about. It's on my to-do list to improve :)
 
Compatibility update: v1.2 is now repackaged for Title Update 1.6.4 — same build, just made to apply cleanly on the new game update. Grab the 1.6.4 file and re-apply.
A few of you asked for older-update support too, so there's now a TU 1.6.2 build as well. All three (1.6.2 / 1.6.3 / 1.6.4) are on the Nexus Files page — match the one you download to your game update: Files.

Update — v1.3 (TU 1.6.5) is live:
  • Shooting — normal and laced shot power was raised, and power shots were lifted a little further again, so shots on goal should look more dangerous than they did. Finesse was deliberately left alone so it keeps its character. CPU shot willingness was increased too, including from outside the box.
  • Goalkeepers — the biggest job in this build, and the hardest, because the feedback contradicted itself. It got split into separate passes: catch behaviour on hard shots pulled back, a second touch after the save opened up, recovery timing shortened, one on one coverage reduced, and the gap between a top rated and a low rated keeper flattened.
  • Defending — midfielders were pushed to act as the first defender instead of handing it to the centre back, marking on the receiver was brought forward so defenders should react while the ball is still travelling, fullbacks were tied closer to their wing, and second pressure was cut back.
  • Crossing and heading — crosses were made faster, flatter and more whipped, attacker runs were pulled toward the penalty spot and the back post, and header strength without the playstyle was raised.
  • Ball control — touch error was raised for lower skill players and sprinting amplifies a bad touch, while elite dribblers kept their edge.
  • More — jockey speed recalibrated, shoulder challenges tied to angle and momentum, and the full aim trajectory line on corners and direct free kicks for every player.

Whether the balance lands is the kind of thing that needs matches rather than theory, so tell me how it plays and post clips if something reads wrong.

Hi, I'm trying to get this working but so far I have no idea what I am doing wrong.

I install clean new instalation of FC26 - it works ok, it works also in offline mode. Then I clear temp, install mod via fifa mod manager and try to run the game - nothing. Then EA app tells me it needs to repair the FC26.

I'm not able to run the mod via Fifa Mod Manager and now I am also not able to run the game via the EA App. Only thing that helps is repair the game and let download files again so I can run it without mods. I run both Fifa mod manager and FC26.exe as an admin.

Any idea what to do? Thank you
 
I tried out the mod, and I have to say you did a great job... just one question: I installed the file for strict referees, but I'm seeing very few fouls... is that normal?

Hi, have you installed Aranaktu’s Live Editor Tool? The FIFA Mod Manager Tool and the Live Editor Tool need to be linked. When you apply mods from FFM and click “Launch,” the Live Editor should start up and bypass EA’s anti-cheat. That’s how it’s supposed to work. You might be having an issue with that part.

Hi, thank you. You applied the mods so that the “Fouls (Stricter)” add-on is under the base mod, right? By the way, the foul system is one of EA's strangest mechanics. I'll be working specifically on improving it in the next version.

Hi, I've checked; this is the order in which I inserted the files, but as I told you, I'm not getting any fouls from the CPU.
 
Hi, I was following the guide on your website and there is no mentioning of live editor. Nevertheless, I have installed live editor and now, for whatever reason, I am able to lunch the game via Mod Manager.

This is my setup:

But is there any way how can I double-check that mods are running in the game? Because to be honest, I don't see any difference. Game is nowhere near the YT vids. It's very fast and arcady (I have previously played with authentic gameplay, but I have turned it off as is in the guide on website).

Thank you for your help :)

edit: After 3rd attempt to run the game with mods I can finaly feel the gameplay. What a change! Is it possible that it is felt even more in Carrer than in just a simple kick-off?
