🎮 FC 26 - ULTRA REALISTIC GAMEPLAY MOD V5 - BETA 3​

Released : October 3, 2025​

​

A complete gameplay overhaul for a truly authentic football experience​


This new version marks a major update, with deep improvements across almost every aspect of the game. My goal remains the same: to replicate as closely as possible the feeling of watching a real football match on TV, with realistic pacing, natural animations, and a perfect balance between fun and authenticity.

🧤 Goalkeepers​

  • Fully reworked goalkeeper behavior.
  • Improved management of save difficulty and CPU reflexes.
  • New logic for line of sight, positioning, and reactions.
  • Added realistic mistakesdepending on the type of shot:
    • Finesse, chip, trivela, knuckleball, lace, low driven, powershot.
  • Better handling of deflections and parries.
  • Balanced between efficiency and humanity: goalkeepers are no longer robots but can make believable errors.

⚽ Shooting system​

  • In-depth rework of all shot types:
    • Power, finesse, chip, lace, trivela, powershot.
  • Realism in power, trajectory, and speed.
  • Semi-assisted versions fine-tuned for more control and precision.
  • Shots feel heavy yet natural, with clear differences depending on style.

🎯 Passing and crossing​

  • short and long passes to avoid overly perfect trajectories.
  • Crosses rebalanced for more variety and less abuse.
  • Refined animation choices so each pass fits the context better.
  • Passes feel heavier, more realistic, and less “automated.”

🏃 Animations & locomotion​

  • More realistic running styles closer to real football.
  • Improved fluidity in player movements and actions.
  • Better management of animation thresholds (dribbles, passes, shots).
  • Balanced inertia and pace to avoid unrealistic movement.

🔥 Physics & collisions​

  • ball physics (trajectory, bounce, inertia).
  • Improved pitch and environment rendering for credibility.
  • contact and duel system:
    • More realistic player collisions.
    • More natural ragdoll reactions during impacts.
  • Stronger organic feeling of tackles, clashes, and physical battles.

🎮 FC 26 - ULTRA REALISTIC GAMEPLAY MOD V5 - BETA 3​

🚨 Update – October 3, 2025 🚨​


Here is ULTRA REALISTIC GAMEPLAY MOD V5 - BETA 3.
This update focuses on overall refinements: improved fluidity, every player can now make a difference according to their abilities—whether in speed or physical presence—and many other improvements that I’ll let you discover for yourselves…

For the first time, I’ve decided to release two versions:
  • one with a slower, more composed gameplay style
  • and one where player movements are slightly faster.

Please!!!
I really need as much feedback as possible from you, especially regarding:
  • Goalkeepers
  • Ball physics
  • Player movements
  • Passing
  • Shooting
  • Match rhythm and speed
⚠️ Please specify which version you tested (V5 Beta 3 Normal or V5 Beta 3 Speed).

Tip:
EA announced a new update today—make sure to back up your game so you can continue using this gameplay mod, as I don’t know yet if it will still work after the update.

FC26 - ULTRA REALISTIC GAMEPLAY MOD – V5 Beta Test 2​

OCTOBER 3, 2025​

​

🚨 OCTOBER 3, 2025 - Major Update: Goalkeepers & Shooting 🚨​


📌 Description / Improvements & Fixes​


🎯 Shooting​

  • Softer ball release: reduced instant speed at foot → no more “rocket shots”, strikes now start with a real wind-up.
  • Heavy and lively trajectories: the ball rolls more naturally, gradually loses speed, and aerial shots now show true variation (dip, slight wobble, realistic deviations).
  • Realistic elevation: fewer floaty “beach ball” shots → strikes are driven and credible.
  • Recalibrated spin/Magnus: curled shots remain visually beautiful but without arcade exaggeration.
  • Adjusted errors: more small variations on powerful shots → some balls go slightly too high or wide, just like in a real match.
  • More expressive animations: shooting gestures include longer wind-up and follow-through, clearly visible on screen.

🥅 Goalkeepers​

  • More human reactions: slightly increased reading time when line of sight is blocked → keepers no longer react like robots.
  • Dives with inertia: less “instant jump”, more momentum and realistic landing → dives look natural and credible.
  • Deflections (parries/tips): higher chance to push away instead of catching powerful shots → more believable goalkeeping against heavy strikes.
  • Variety in saves: on extreme shots (power, spin, difficult trajectory), keepers may only get a fingertip or deflect, instead of absorbing everything.
  • Better differentiated playstyles: sweeper-keepers are quicker off their line but less “superhuman”; classic keepers stay more positional and composed.
  • Synchronization with shots: recalibrated trajectories (finesse, lace, chip, powershot, trivela, low-driven) now match keeper animations and reactions.


✅ Expected Result​

  • Shots that feel heavy and impactful on screen.
  • Keepers that react in a credible, human-like way.
  • A much more fluid, expressive, and realisticTV broadcast style.



✅ Settings​

  • Assistance: Semi
  • Difficulty: Any
  • Authentic Gameplay: Enabled
  • Weather Effects: Disabled

Make sure you are launching the game correctly from FMT.


  • First, open FMT.ModManager.
  • Import my mod into it.
  • Then press Launch from inside FMT.

⚠️ Also check that your game path is set correctly in the tool and that your EA App/Steam/Origin is closed before launching.


Run FMT as administrator.

Do not launch the Live Editor at the same time as FMT.
Make sure to reinstall a clean version of your game.
Then start the game through FMT Mod Manager.


That should work.

Thanks for your reply.
I completely uninstalled the game and reinstalled it again.
FYI: I don’t use the Live Editor tool.

Questions:

1. Which file should I use: FTM.exe or FTM.ModManager.exe?


2. Should I set the EA app to offline mode before launching the game from the FMT Tool Manager, or is it enough to just close it in the background?

It’s not necessary to be offline on the EA app.
You can load the mod either through FTM Mod Manager or directly with FTM, it’s the same.
 
I think this is the reason why the game cannot start

Hello everyone,


This mod transforms EAFC 26’s gameplay to make it much more realistic, heavy, and immersive:
  • ⚽ Realistic match tempo
    The overall pace is slowed down, no more arcade flow: build-up phases look and feel like a real TV broadcasted match.
  • 🏃 Double player inertia
    Every sprint, stop, and change of direction takes time and space. Zig-zag unrealistic moves are gone, movements feel more physical.
  • 🎯 Non-assisted passing
    Passes are no longer “on rails”: their success depends on your orientation, power, and timing. Anticipation and accuracy are key.
  • 🥅 Slower passes and shots
    The ball moves more slowly, shots are less powerful by default. Positioning and timing matter more, creating more varied and believable phases of play.
  • 🏐 Overhauled ball physics
    The ball feels heavier and freer: it no longer sticks to the feet, rebounds are natural, and speed naturally dies on the pitch as in real life.
  • 💥 More physical contacts and duels
    Tackles and collisions lead to more loss of balance, technical mistakes, and unpredictable ball bounces, making duels more authentic.

👉 This mod is designed to be played in “Authentic Gameplay” and delivers a much more lifelike experience than the default game.


Created with FMT by @Paul-v, whom I sincerely thank.

Other versions will be released soon based on your feedback.


Installation:

Did it work for you with the last EA update #1?
Can you tell me the preconditions or steps? I tried everything, but I still got an error and the game didn’t start.
Click to expand...
Don’t have the game downloaded on your c drive. Game has to be downloaded anywhere else in your pc and just launch straight from FMT.

all i did was select fc26 on the left, load the mod using +add, then press compile and launch. that was it. FC is downloaded on my d drive
 
@iljuventino Thanks for such a early release. I will try it now and leave feedback than. I had sometimes similar issues recently to launch the Game with the tool. But I imported for testing purposes yesterday some legacy files like TV Logos and scoreboards made a mod and the FMT launches with mods applied. Needs sometimes trying and of course we need to repair the game files through EA APP after adding new mods or/and launching with other tools like Live Editor. When nothing help repair your Games, Guys. It´s the easiest way to kinda reset the game Folder. It´s currently a very WIP by @Paul-v but it´s a first way to have modded Game. It will for sure easier to launch mods in the next weeks but improving the tool needs much time. We can only be patient.
I try now to launch the mod by myself and report back later. :-)

It's not allowed to have it installed on my C:\ drive???? Why?
Click to expand...
May be a permission issue when currently installed on the c drive. Just early stages with modding, not everything works as a full and complete as in a few weeks hopefully. Just a option for now and yet. If things not working with the mod just consider copy the game on your d drive a.e. It´s so stated on Paul´ßs discord server for FMT. You can join if you wanna have a deeper explanation about the state of the tool after just yesterday the official FC 26 release was made.
