?
I have a lot (a good amount of) packs, should i open them after the new halloween event comes out or should i open them up now⁉️
(In UT)
open when the new promo comes out
yo
does anyone keep getting kicked out of games ?
it says im out of sync
how do i fix this
save till toty.
When that is probably a smart idea... I'm probably not gonna to do that- 💀
And plush this new promo looks cool and it would be really cool to pack one of the cards!
lmk how it goes i might open mine
Okay, lol...
Good luck!
Wait
instead of playing, you're here crying
Dude. Your take makes no sense. AI defense is too strong now, the game is one dimensional, posession play is dead, only counter and park the bus works in high divisions.
Defense is now so much faster and more responsive than attack, it's ridiculous.
You either get bumped by AI defenders all the time, or 10 men park at the opponents box. If that's what you want, then congrats, you got it, a one dimensional s... game with no skill gap, because you didnt want to learn to defend.
3 defensive patches in a row and the game is like FC 25. Now we just need speed boosts and trivelas from 30 meters again and the rats are happy.
Come on EA, have the balls and give us 30 meter trivelas back, so the timmys have everything they want.
(Nerfing kick offs and corners was necessary tho)
put the fries in the bag lil bro
Im not buying any season pass or anything until someone from EA has the balls to address this and reverts this cr...
No need to prove me right, have a good week.
well at least you can go from div 10 to div 9 now, happy weekend!
Anyone else getting crashes?
happens after fouls, throw ins, corners etc.
Yup throw ins = instant crash for me
What's your point here? You like AI driven s... then play football manager and not the competitive side of EA. Most losses i conceded 2 patches ago were deserved, now everyone just sits back, because this game is one dimensional and only rewards counters.
New patch ruined the game tbh, im trying to be optimistic but the difference is huge
The defending was fine as it was when the game came out
Who did? I never did.
It was genuinely better
It was totally fine before
One of the best defending we’ve had since fifa 19
Maybe it should have gotten a very small buff but not like this
Actually fifa 23
Well people asked for Ai defending
Ai defending just makes you’re cb’s out of position most of the time
Defending was extremely rewarding before. It felt like you actually did something yourself, and its felt so satisfying
It was smoother when the game came out
Fifas just more of a casual game now then competitive that’s why
I tried defending with cdms last two games ( i usually never do this) and the two games ended with clean sheets but its boring af
People are just braindead, no wonder this community has 80 IQ on avg. People be liking the patch before even trying it out. They have no idea what they are talking about.
I mean it’s the only way to play now
Use you’re cm’s to defend
Then dont give us competitive gameplay in the first place if everything is a lie again. At this point I just want a refund. I have over 700 games now, but now I want to stop playing. This game is terrible now
Yup when everyone against you never touch cbs and let them defend on their own ther is nothing u can do but to play like them tbh
I can’t lie over 700 games is lowkey some no life
No offense
I don’t even have that much
Attacking and defending was better pre patch
😭
Yeah, I know, I was sick for a week and couldn't work, so I grinded the game and now I have 2 weeks off and its the same 😅
They lowkey needa make irl tactics
How to know when is the next abdeit
I’m tryna attack with a different formation
Usually every thursday
And when I’m defending, defend with a 4 back
Thanks
I’m tryna attack with a 3 back
I actually wanted to go to fly to Korea, but the event i wanted to attend was sold out, so I did play EA instead.
And defend with like a 5
They needa make a update where you can make tactics for defending and attacking
Would genuinely be so good
Especially for career mode
I basically had two full weeks of Fifa now, with no work stopping me from grinding.
It was much better before the patch, now the defense is very broken, the R1 is dead, the game goes too fast to the point that it makes you dizzy, you can't dribble or get away from anyone because the defense goes too fast
Does here wrote when was last abdeit
I just want them to update the AI’s on career mode that’s it
Make it realistic
Cause they don’t defend
Next week ill have work again, 40 hour weeks gonna be more fun than this terrible gameplay
Are someone speaking serbian
We returned to FC 25, a boring gameplay where defense is the most important thing
This game is trash
to make an update so they wouldn't have changed anything
I dont even feel motivation to play anymore. I have won 30+ drafts, but what for when the game is terrible now?
Will i have less wins in Champs?
Most likely not, but it will be no fun anymore
Before the patch, I played the game, because I enjoyed it. I played Rivals for the sole purpose of it being fun to play, even if I had my rewards already, now it's just dead
I was in the second division and I'm halfway through the third and on my way to going down to the fourth. Thanks for this wonderful update.
Anyone crying about the new patch are just skilless rb dribble spam abusers
Rb dribble pina abuser
What happened to the player card effects? all my fire, arrows, hero effects and stuff are gone
Nobody complained, they just complained about the kickoff and the defense and touched on unnecessary things
You are not tuff for beating career mode A.I
Istf idk what they be crying bout. They got so used to spinning with pina waiting for that milimeter of space to open to low driven
Ong
Bleach pfp brother always spitting
do u think that the rb dribbling was the issue?
I genuinely think that people base their opinions off Nick rather than forming one themselves theese days
cus i can tell u rn the rb dribbling getting nerfed will make ppl ‘fidget spin’ with pina even more now
Nick became penguinz of EA FC
🤝
Whatever they nerf on left stick dribble ppl will complain how their player now turns like utruck and that "we are back to fc25"
Just nerf running around w/ your CDM and dropping 9 in the box, all I want
like they are complaining now
But imo i'd really just nerf normal left stick instead of r1
brother u do realize ppl will say that when u buff defending mechanics and make defensive ai stronger while nerfing a dribbling mechanic that wasnt that broken to begin with, ppl assumed rb dribbling was the issue cus they dont know how the game works
left stick dribbling is what was difficult to keep up with not rb dribbling
I mean you're right but everyone is overreacting
The game is not fundamentaly broken right now it's not like r1 is unusable
But i fully agree with you
rb dribbling is literally not even that difficult to defend the casual playerbase just don’t want to learn to defend because they have been handheld by the ai since 2020
idk why buff jockey instead of tweaking responsiveness of left stick
Probably to counter measure kickoff my best guess
things like attacking AI feels a lot better now i will give ea that which is a very important thing for me which really needs to be improved and jockey speed need a tad bit increasing but idk about the speed it is now, it is really fast now
I just want to see left stick nerf and downfall of Diani x Pina players
Because i am sick and tired of playing the same game over and over and over
it's like one match repeating every day
is anyone else constanly disconecting from games?
ive had like 4 games in a row all disconnect
Ea thanks u ruined the whole game unbelievable I want my 100$ back the game was so good but ea being ea like usual
Yo Can anyone help me

Calafiori or balde
Why do you think I said I want it to be harder smart nuts
Use you’re brain 😭 🙏
Twin thought I was tryna be cool bout it
Lock in dweeb
Hey EA, I watch the intros to Career Mode games because I really like to see the formation I'm playing against, who plays for them, and who's in the lineup today.
As it stands I have about .5 seconds to see this. I'm lucky if I even get to read one name of the players on their bench.
If people want to skip the intros you let them skip it, but for those of us who actually enjoy watching them it's almost pointless ... we can't see the lineups for more than half a second. Literally.
Also, are we ever going to get nine subs on our bench?

The latest update is very good from EA... Nerfing the fidget spinner R1 dribbling was needed... Game is very balanced now... And player like me(casual) gives thumps ... Very good from Ea👍🏼
Agree brother... That Nick guy is cancer to community... He thinks everybody is pro like him . He just care for himself not for casual players
Hmm yes, a casual player liking that he can keep up with the non casuals like that makes sense whilst also saying “this guy saying casuals are getting it all easier now from crying” is “cancer”. Just proved half the point
U mean Nannik?
Sorry for jumping in lol
Man f#ck casual player hope yall ni@@as go and play fc 25 . Yall mfs destroyed an actual good game
All this time practiceing to become good at this game gone cuz of you shitters
Cant defend cuz ur mind is not capabile to understand how it works
Ni@@a go f#ck ur self
why am i still being routed to EU servers? bro what is this game????
every match says u lost connection and UT review - cant play any match any solution ?
EA revert the update NOWWWW
Skill gap is worse now
the community ruined the game
not wven ea’s fault
All the bad players asked for this
hope they fix it
And all of them i’ve deserved to lose
bc the oponent was better
i played 3 hames today lost 2 because of them js jockeying like saddos
people were already playing 5-4-1 now with this haramball everywhere
I agree that jockey upgrade needed but not this level
and why even touch r1. like nerf it if they cry about it but not this much
no balance anymore
defending game now
Ea you need to do something about this parking the bus
all the games i played they scored then js parked rhe bus
1 of them i managed to win but not the resy
they just need to buff dribbling now(not same level tho in the beginning) and nerf jockey a lil bit
I have to work so incredibly hard to get a chance on goal then the ai wins the ball and then straight up to their unmarked striker and they are in on goal
If EA really hears community then they should fix this mess or it is gonna be a bad game again.
yea
Simple solution is to make the width of defence wider
not even that just buff r1 a bit and nerf jockey
everything will be fine
because of pina people wanted r1 get nerfed
The players that are parking the bus are not jockeying
I dont even wanna play wl this week
Team mate contain needs nerfing
it is not worth it to make r1 like this because of pina
and pina isnt even that hard to defend against u js gotta be aggresive and tackle early
no, get good
agreed
EA really messed this one up. FC 26 was finally in a good spot — smooth, balanced, and actually fun. Then this patch dropped and completely ruined it. The game feels slower, heavier, and frustrating. Passes go off target, the ball bounces unpredictably, and dribbling feels sluggish. Everything that made the game enjoyable is gone.
Defending is way too strong now, and attacking is almost useless. Technical Dribbling doesn’t work like it should, and trying to get past defenders just gets you tackled instantly. Matches feel slow, defensive, and boring. The balance that made the game fun is completely gone.
The worst part is EA clearly listened to the wrong players. Instead of taking feedback from people who actually know the game, they listened to casuals who complain about losing. The result is a game that’s easier for less skilled players but frustrating and unrewarding for anyone who understands the mechanics and actually wants to play competitively.
The community reaction says it all. Reddit, forums, and Discord are full of people saying, “This patch ruined FC 26.” The game before this update was the best it’s been in years. Now it’s clunky, slow, and not fun. At this rate, don’t be surprised if EA drops it on sale before Black Friday just to get some sales while the community is still salty about the update.
EA needs to start listening to the players who actually know the game, not the ones just complaining about losing. Until that happens, FC 26 will stay broken, punishing skill and rewarding boring defense, making it frustrating for the people who actually care.
REPOST IF U CAN X
So funny how many clueless div 7 players there are ‘fidget spinning’ is still in the game lmao it’s left stick dribbling not r1 lmao
Yeah I was just ragebaiting lol; I think the update is pretty good I just think the controlled dribbling needs a little buff, as I think they made it too slow. I’m not against the change at all tho cos I wasn’t a fan of streamers fidget spinning in the box cos the defending was too slow then telling others that they were bad if they couldn’t defend it.
I’m Div 1, I know left stick is mainly used when spinning, but r1 dribbling definitely complimented “fidget spinning” heavily. It made it easier because the defenders couldn’t jockey quick enough to defend the multiple spins.
like 2% buff
Yeah, I just think the speed is too slow but other than they I think they nerfed a pretty toxic gameplay style.
I just won a game 7-5, how is defending overpowered and scoring nerfed?
100%
@vocal birchim l;aughing at the streamers and pros rage, they are so entitled and think the game should be how they want
It isn’t
What I’ve noticed is the physical stats actually matter now
High physical players are useful
And feel better on the ball
And the faster jockey is bringing an interesting skill gap
Of who has the control to not overcommit
"control to not overcommit" well thats not me lol
how many division levels back do i go after season ends ?
😭
Cause this bot had Konate and vvd but I just kept baiting him into overcommitting
I went up 3-0 before half then he disconnected me like the rest of these gay pc bums
This has now been 2 games in a row
I’ve been dcd
Gonna cost me getting rivals rewards
I’m a div 3 player and game feels terrible I been winning but not even having fun like the games feels slow passing is terrible and dribbling so heavy all they needed to do was fix kickoff goals tbh I was complaining abt defending first 3 days and just ended up adapting to it but ofc bums still need help
@main pier Fix ur garbage servers
Guys idk if i did smth good but i brought 5 pina and tommorow bcs of champs and everyone buy it im going to wait and sell it tommorow for a better price and make profit
4 games in a row now I’ve been disconnected
It’s def not hackers
It’s ur sht servers for pc
Bad invest
Why
She is dead at this point. And new promo is tommorow
So everyone will be buying those cards
Tommorow morning her price will go up
That and with strength actually mattering since this update she gets yeeted off of the ball
Nah
It’s fun watching people overcommit
But if EA learns how to have servers work that would be nice
Place your bets dc #5 or finally get 2 play
How though the game takes no skill besides defending and countering
It’s horrible now
If anyone had issues with the game before it’s a skill issue the game is supposed to be fun and attacking focused where the game is open not sitting back and defending
It’s terrible
Fr
First good gameplay they produce in a couple years and they found a way to mess it up
Omg like so bad I actually uninstalled. They don’t even route you to the correct servers. It’s unplayable. I constantly get 100+ ping cause I’m being sent to EU servers
Waste of money and time
Horrible patch
Disgusting gameplay
Hope their proud
Of their game
Just garbage
Anyone that enjoys the gameplay now should probably go play fc25 cuz the gameplay is straight garbage
Gameplay is literally who mess up on defense now to win
Attacking is dead
Passing is so terrible
Passing has been terrible
That’s why I tell everyone to get incisive, pinged and tiki taka on their players
Cause they make passing better
Same as whipped for crossing cause otherwise crossing is garbage
gay pc bums woah calm down
well yeah what do u think eu is eu is better at the end of the day what do u think we vs hahaha
Yall play the sweaty kids who don’t know what grass is
I don’t mind it
Anyone complaining about the patch
Has no skill in the game
And only knew rb dribble spam with pina
pros are complaining same as youtubers
They’re bad like you
Pros are all crybabies who need to touch grass
are u dumb or full stupid
Only pros having problems... All the casuals are happy with the patch
these pros play games for a living and prob touch more grass than you and make more
You’re sped
Why is bro glazing random pros
Clean the tip when you’re done
ohhhh your one of those low win console plebs
im not
i dont care about being better on this game decades have proved worse players get better luck
what div are u then big boy
or ur weekend league record?
yeah ok bud
but lets talk crap on the best players in the game saying they need to touch grass
Cuz they do
oh i understand now ur a console player and u need to rage bait :0
What’s bro on about console player
@chrome juniper I mean like the fact that the pros are complaining about 1-0 results I find sad because that shows that they are good at defending. Because the ai defenders now stay in position but don’t defend, making it all user skill and manual defending
btw anyone having issues on pc with controller randomly disconnecting recently
Manual defending is finally good
Only no skill players are crying
Or people that enjoy 15+ goal games
dribbling is craxy everyone feels like a truck
You gotta be creative bud
No more rb dribble spam
With pina
never abused it just in general everyone feels slow
The dribbling is the same
and i cant stand pina so i dont use her
Literally dribbling feels pretty much the same
If you’re complaining about it, its cuz you were in fact an rb dribble spammer
And all 6ft+ players can dribble pretty decently now
Even if you didint realize it
pina rats mudded haaland chads its our time
attackers feel way slower then defenders
Nah
Dude
You can’t rb dribble spam anymore
its not just that
it feels less responsive and yes you can score
EA made it to where pace and stats actually influence the interactions
90 strength knocks off 70 strength
90 pace outruns 85 pace
nick rftm losing his mind with the patch its so funny
Yeah
He was an rb dribble no skill spammer
Hopefully he keeps crying
he cries anyway. LS dribbling feels good but. maybe its lamal he feels awful now
Probably
Did the patch ruined the game?
I noticed de roon now feels really good
It saved the game
Face stats actually matter now
i just need to get used to it not going to judge it off a few games
Why does ea keep changing gameplay man it’s so fkin annoying
jockey did need a buff
Yeah
I bet they will patch it again
no more kick off glitch is also a W
What most of us need, since I still can't get used to the update, is to play more and use other formations, that's what I think, and it's not that it's more fun.
4321 is fun btw
Ea with their manipulation 🤡
If they increase manual defending they should nerf ai
Ai doesn’t exist
4213
They now stay in the proper position and do nothing like they should
They need to bring back old r1
The thing is that R1's dribbling can't be unusable, even Yamal feels like a crane sometimes, I'm not saying it's spam all the time but using it from time to time is just as useful.
Facts
Like there’s ntg wrong with it
Yea only tr@sh @ss ni@@as benefited from the update
Stop spamming it then
Says the div 10 garbage can
Only players who have no skill are complaining
Noob fat f@@@cos moderators
Ni@@a i am in div 1 show me ur team 😭 😂
Is there an evo for doku coming?
They destroyed my bonmati brolin and yamal
Lamine plays like virg now
Good
You are one them
A skilled player? Yes
😂
A moron ? Yea
Why is everyone using Yamal
To spam tech+
Smh
Like normal
Hope some of the ea employees die in a car crash
It’s war it’s not a video game
Thats what makes a skill gap?!?!?
wth xdddd
U need to abuse something so u can create a high skill gap
Give me rb dribble spam or I retire
I’m being fr bro like some of those fat fks needs to die to save this game
Esp those virgins
Literally how every video game works
So u were one of the 6 div 9 players that couldnt defend wp
I mean i will still be able to get at least rank 2 or 3 but i wont have as much fun as i had in the first 2 weeks
Rank 3 is rookie numbers
They buffed defenders and nerfed attackers like what’s the point ea???
I could do that with a gold common team
Only some
Haaland got better
The point is it’s time for you too get good
Bro this is the type of person who asked for this patch 😭
If you’re complaining you have skill issues
You can’t rb dribble spam your way to goals
Anyone else keep disconnecting and it coming up with match result under review in rivals
You need to actually have creativity
Yeah
Proper brexit footy is back, grab your Keane's, your Gattusso's, your Kane's and wipe your bum with Pina users
Ea doesn’t understand the concept of working servers
Bro like you do before patch came bet your loosing every game
Ea man they just want us to die lowkey
I might be dead today bro ngl after this update
Same here bro like this game is actually trash
Can’t even have fun
Its nerfed
Don’t overcommit and you’ll be fine
Only virgins who don’t touch grass will love this game
It’s not EA fault dude seen nick rtfm tweet
The funny part is I’ve won every single game
Deadass
Nah ea helping the minorities now
It’s funny going up against players who only knew how to rb dribble spam before
And destroying them
Cuz now it takes SKILL to score goals
Tbh just send through balls
Bro what skill did you have before this update
I didint rb dribble spam abuse
Ikr its just a video game
Still won more games than you
Make it fun not meta
What div are you
He’s prob lying and rage baiting all of us
Imagine nerfing dribbling
Not every player I had was amazing at dribbling now is cooked since this update
What’s the point of using a good dribbler now???
Exactly
Bro ppl who saying we hate update saying we fidget spinners it’s not even that it’s just players is slow in general u can’t even move fast to create passing options for other players cause they so slow and on top of that passing is now slower than ever with it being less accurate to how it was when game was released
Ea employees has to die man
This game basically is back to FC25 now
yo, when I launch my game it says failed to load, what do I do?
Uninstall the game is unplayable rn
Anybody seen Nick RTFM tweet
All they had to do was fix kickoff and corner goals
Fr
You’re a virgin with no skill
Get good
Crying cuz u can’t fidget spin anymore
Get good
Bro before this patch you complained abt defending don’t talk shi
Defending was good before this patch now it’s just broken thanks to people complain abt it
It wasn’t good kid, it was impossible to defend fidget spinning
You think it’s good because you enjoyed every game ending 8-8
Go play nba 2k bro
Is it just me or are the servers down?
Can’t even attack now
The type of player you are a virgin
This is what I said for sure
They have slowed the attacking movement abit
You can’t rb dribble spam anymore, cry more kid
Guess wht I don’t need it
Dude
You just wished death on ea employees
Like 5 minutes ago
You clearly need it
All you do is score from kickoff you virgin
That’s literally you if you’re complaining about the patch
bro u have been on this thread all day arguing
every time i check to see what people are saying ab the update i see your name
fidget spin= someone better than you
cry more
Yet I’m the one beating you 8-0 post patch
I got here like 20 min ago
probably with 10 atb
Classic virgin comment
😂
Your the virgin you needs to go on 2k and never play this game again
Get on 2k and keep being a angry virgin
Guys how are u scoring that direct free kick goal🥲
Can’t hard to score free kicks
Skill issue

Skill issue or 1v1 on my servers lil bro
This guy is the definition of annoying and shi at the same time
Literally
Mind u u said this and scared to 1v1 on my servers
And u said this cause I said this
Why are the rush points so low out of nowhere. Yesterday I won 9-2 and me and my team we filled out every rush point und I only got 1k points. Or in another game I did the same and only got 2.300 points
Grown man talk on discord 🤣
What a wonderful feeling: waking up with the thought that the game is finally looking the way it should have for a long time. Without kickoffs, R1 dribbling, and fidget spinners. But the best part is the cry of sweaty meta players who would die for a single win in the Weekend League.
Ppl living rent free in your head is crazy
Brutally murdered the game. Thanks EA. And a special thanks to all the timmies that couldn’t learn the skill gap.
They’re not to blame for your parents not teaching you how to handle losses in life
Hey guys now I have a problem my gpu percentage in online matcehes decrease from 95-100% to 30-40%
My laptop is acer nitro 5
Rtx3060 I7 11800h
Now everything is just park bus again like last year it’s boring
I’ll play you
Guys how to complete that free kick objective?
Well this definitely will be last game of fifa/ fc I buy. I only bought this year cause it felt like it was gonna be more like the old days with dribbling and skills. People that park bus get punished because attacking is the way but because they could not fathom how to defend they cry and now game is just like last few previous years because of babies who can’t learn the way the game should be with more skill needed and making it fun. Why next year one nothing will get me to buy that knowing only takes couple weeks of the crap people to complain and bang they change the game for them
100% true and I feel 100% the same
What skill gap?? Defending with cdms and and doing 20 spins with pina you call that skill gap?
Tell me how did the patch help with those problems
If defending easier = more defending with dms
I found a work around but u need two controllers so basically connect two controllers and go to play with friend and couch play in ultimate team then with one team foul the other team outside the box as many times as u want and try to score it.I did that I objective that way and it counted
Now I can do aggressive defending I can select my cbs and tackle the attackers , I can learn or use different ways of attacking
Bro it was a skill gap. Because you could LEARN how to defend. And people were not doing 20 spins with pina they were doing 3 maybe 4 but not more. I actually learned how to defend and it felt good it felt manual it felt like I was playing with 11 players on the pitch. If I wanted to play another year of fc automatic I wouldn’t have bought fc 26. There is no skill gap anymore because it’s useless to learn how to attack in a game that has automatic defending.
Defending is more manual now, u actually have to select cb and defend, if attackers goes past your cdm you have to select cb now,
I agree on 1 point that is they shouldn't have nerfed RB dribbling
Holding with your cdms tracking them back to cb position is not a skill gap
Facts
Yay, it’s FC25 again. Fifa is truly dead, thanks to the below average motor skills of the player base.
People who write about skill gap are people who think they are better than others because they are sweaty meta players who buy Pina and spin like fidget spinners for half the match.
They abuse bugs and broken mechanics to win = skill gap
Now show your skills in building plays with your players, instead of running with R1 and spinning the striker in the penalty area. Let's see if you really have such great skills.
Facts x2
Holding cdms bringing back wingers to defend and second man press is skill gap to them
These are sweaty meta players who can't do anything other than play a through ball to the striker, spin like a fidget spinner, and then shoot low-drive. That's their SKILL GAP.
You must have played a different game. I was selecting cbs and closing passing lanes with cdms and cbs. They killed dribbling which was the only good thing about the game. Just want to say that I haven’t played with Pina in 2 weeks and do maybe 2 turns before I shoot in the box being able to left stick dribble in the game was fun and good and I can’t do that anymore. Genuinely feels like playing fc25 again which is crazy because that game was bad. And we said it was bad and thought ea listened bc they released this game. Fc26 was good but not perfect. Now it’s not even good anymore
Brother that is not how most people played
Being able to pass and send someone deep because your opponent is pressing carelessly is a good thing
This patch is the best thing that's happened to the community in many, many years. The most important change is the removal of kickoffs and the removal of fidget spinners. I hope this state of the game lasts as long as possible.
Being able to play tiki taka and dribble is fun for me I would rather score 5 goals but concede 6 than play 15 penalty shootouts during champs
If you like the patch so much go play fc25
Should feel the exact same
And you go play a fidget spinner simulator if you like it when something spins.
Fc 24 and 25 made people feel like they were good at the game but when they logged on to pre patch fc 26 you realised you were absolute dogshit at the game
Wasn’t spinning
Maybe once or twice to create space
You can still play this keep possession and learn how to attack with passes not random through balls
Back to square one, Get tackled by an outfield player whilst the opposition doesn't touch their defense and hold a 6 back, one through ball over the top. cant even build up because when I want to dribble past someone their wingers have the defending of prime Maldini. If you were going to make defending better, why on gods green earth would you nerf attacking? all you needed to do in this patch is buff defending abit, and nerf the fidget spinning a touch, not obliterate anyone who has a player whos dribbling stat is below 90. game will turn into whoever has Ousmane and Mbappe wins. its not just R1 dribbling either, any player with the ball now feels like they've got 10kg weights in their feet. The game was genuinely fine. defending was hard, but it was fair, never felt cheated when I stuffed a tackle or moved a player out of position. now I've got strikers ripping the ball of me again for no good reason. And im finding myself having to hold the ball even more in order to create actual threat when attacking, because every man and their dog is running a 6 back
But haven’t used in Pina in 2 weeks
RIP fc 26
Random through balls? Bro I timed my passes they were never random
Facts x3
Good game while it was out
You guys can agree with me on the fact that fc25 was bad. They released a game that was good and different from fc25 and now they released a patch that makes fc26 feel like fc25 again
wtf have they done. I’ve been studying and hop back on to this
One thing I agree they shouldn't have heavily nerfed rb dribbling
Feel like heavily nerfed is an understatement😂
Are you stupid or just pretending? For the last three weeks, the game has been like this: kickoffs were so bad that it was impossible to defend, and every attacking action looked the same: you passed to the strikers and spun around in or around the penalty area until you sensed the right moment to press R1 and get a speed boost to get past the defender and hit a low-driven shot.
i can not remember when i last conced a kick off lil bro just get good. defending was not impossible bc a lot of people could do it. i rarely did anything you are saying there that is not the game i played. i did not spin and spin around in the box waiting to shoot and neither did my opponents but then again i never played div 10 division rivals so i wouldnt know how people play the game there
this what you are saying might have made my opponent score 1 or 2 goals but if you learned how to defend then you wouldnt have this problem. while playing the game i did not feel like people scored 6 or 7 goals by using these methods
I mean I'm in elite div I hardly see anyone selecting their cb,all I see is defend with cdm bringing wingers back to defend and second man press with CB
but im gonna stop with responding in this discusion bc i gtg to work. @neat cobalt i feel like i can agree with you on most things but @swift egret dont think i will ever agree with you on anything
the patch ruined the game as it was. yes some things needed to change but what they did was not the solution
Hey I’m elite without a single game with pina 🥺
True balance of defending with balance attack was the right option okay bye
Honestly this new patch has killed it for me Sawa feels like she has 50 ball control I’ve played better FIFA back on the wii
Wouldn't have been so bad if they nerfed AI defending too, would have still been able to make chances and score by attacking the AI players, but now you face a wall of 6, low depth and when you finally get by the CDM running around like a headless chicken you have the AI auto intercept/auto tackle or just body you before you get a shot off anyway
Stinky patch and I don't even fidget spin, just boring now, feels like banging my head against a wall like 25, just a slightly more responsive 25
The new patch ruined the distinction between competitive gameplay and authentic gameplay.
They destroyed their own marketing.
If anyone felt the gameplay was too fast, they should keep playing authentic.
In fact, EA should split ultimate team and create a section for authentic gameplay.
The game attacking speed feels slower than ever
No, because if you've never used kickoffs and never rotated players in or outside the penalty area, why are you crying that the patch ruined the game if it doesn't affect your gameplay? You're just a sweaty whiner who doesn't even have the courage to admit he's a meta player now because there's no way anyone will believe you that you've never rotated with R1 or used kickoffs, all while you're crying about how the patch ruined the game.
Since this patch game is very bad !!!
Drinking bad first touch bad everything bad all the time getting disconnected
Guys guys
Players can’t turn can’t do nothing !
nah shut up i use R1 not saying i dont use R1 i just dont do 20 spins inside the box. i play how i like to play and when i played the game yesterday i couldnt play the game how i like to play. and the only thing that changed is the patch being released so it must be the patch. and i usually lose posesion after a kick off.
I used to play fc mobile back in 2022 and 2023
I am thinking about getting a 2000 fc points pack
And coming back to the game
But after seeing everyone...what exactly has happened to the game ??
Hey can you please explain what they have changed in this patch ?
If they have made it similar to the pc version then I think that's a good thing
But I am not sure what they have changed
how to play max chemistry mode friendly fc26 ?
Players move very heavy now a
The gameplay is worse. When on attack, it's sluggish.
Ohh
Did they buff pace or something
We got the game to escape depression. Now, the game is leaving us depressed
Why did vini and mbappe go up with quick step plus?
So do y'all think it's gonna stay like this
Or will they do something to fix it
They did fix it
Well, you see, it quickly became clear what kind of player you are. You have no idea how happy I am that people like you have a reason to cry. It will be amazing to watch all these "skill players" after they have had their entire meta game taken away from them. If you're so great at this game, show us how you play without kickoffs, speed boosts, using R1 dribbling, and spinning like a fidget spinner.
They only changed the game because of people complaining
Then what's the issue ?
What complains do the others have ?
I mean people will complain about complaininf
It’s crazy how entitled some people are you lot cried bc the defending was „too hard“ and you got what you wanted
EA should have stuck with the distinction between competitive gameplay and authentic gameplay.
That was the selling point of the game.
Competitive gameplay was meant to be fast.
I don't see any reason why they should make the game slower.
The game was meant to be a game for fast thinkers
When you have a game with hundreds of thousnds of players you will never satisy everyone
Unfortunately the loudest ppl win
Honestly...I always thought it was too unrealistic how the game used to be...like the passes and the shootings and crosses and stuff
Also the skill mechanics
Ohh
Its a video game
The game was too hard for you so went crying bc you couldnt handle trying to learn defending
you dont even know what kind of player i am lol
People want it to be real life and forget its a video game just like call of duty
Have the game become similar to the pc version ?
If so then it's a good thing
The mechanics are more realistic in pc
Okay makes sense I think...
PC version was also fast. I play on PC. It has always been fast. They degraded the gameplay across all platforms
Do people feel faster post patch with quick step plus?
So they made it less meta oriented and more individual skill oriented ??
Mbappe and vini rose a good bit after the patch
I see
of course it is already known, because it is easy to deduce from your sent messages.
So the patch has been applied to both pc and mobile ?
how do i play then?
Bro loves playing park the bus simulator
Btw guys
No. They made the game less snappy.
Usually, you could make quick silky counters, passes were fast and one touch. Dribbling was swift.
Now they act like they added 120kg to each player's feet
What's the best way to spend 2000 fc points ?
I see
Honestly I have felt the same too after playing one match
The strikers felt kinda sluggish
Defense was fine tho imo
Where did I say defending is too difficult? I'm just saying I'm glad they removed kickoffs and weakened the R1 dribbling, because most players dribbled at full sprint like prime Maradona, Messi, Hazard, or Neymar.
wait do we get 2k points ??
Kickoffs were broke ofc but r1 dribbling if you in any mind think it was broken that’s completely on you and a skill issue
Because that is What competitive gameplay was. You're meant to be on your toes. The game was meant to be snappy and quickly
Also there where visible differences in players only high dribbling and tec + players had good dribbling
Now everybody moves like haaland with r1
Bunch little Timmys couldn’t defend manually so now they nerfed dribbling to the ground man
Everyone feels fat
Truck driving simulator
If you bought ult you get 6k In installments of 2k for the first 3 months
No, it's better to play a fidget spinner simulator. Buy Claudia Pina and spin it using R1, then shoot low-driven and repeat this 10 times in every match.
one locked all my players and the other kept lagging in kick off only
bro stop with the fidget spinner and pina stuff not everyone did that
there are people that just play the game with players they like
I can agree that they nerfed r1 a bit too much, but it was too strong before.
The game was sooo good nd yall ruined it congrats...
@fleet crow how
Me personally can’t even feel the r1 dribbling nerf, maybe cos I don’t spam it too much , Yamal’s dribbling is still amazingly good and crazy overreaction from everyone
EA should add walking sticks so that we'll know that we're playing with old men.
Ppl kept on complaining yhe defending nd how bad it is it was good imo
In my opinion this new update is good, brought a big balance to the game, before it was very one sided
The older gameplay required snappy thinking, quick reaction and response.
You made decisions on the fly.
One touch passes were good. Dribbling was silky.
THAT WAS THE COMPETITIVE GAMEPLAY.
Now, we're left with authentic gameplay 2.0
loving the tears
Bruh one touch passes were bad , you could pass to the left at the edge of the box and ball goes back to my cb
It wasn't one sided. Anyone complaining about the attacking being too fast didn't know how to play.
For once, EA separated players by skill range. If you didn't know how to defend, you would learn.
I got Sissi in the icon sbc 😙
she just bodied my CB 😭
One touch pass was good. It was the bane of the pre release ads. Even CPU had to get used to you in career mode.
Now, players act like 80 year old men on the ball
Attacking wasn’t too fast but it was Op , if an attacker makes a single turn, your defender almost couldn’t do anything no more, but I could still defend really well, didn’t even have any single complain, was comfortable in div 1
If you pass was going to the wrong person, check your pass release option. Animation start and late were bad.
That is why you needed to learn how to defend.
Isn't the basis of playing video games to learn?
I didn’t make a single change in my settings and post patch my players can actually pass to who I want now
I still think it’s not easy to defend now, still beating ppl in the elite div
And I concede too
It’s just easier to not concede shxt goals
The passes pre patch were fine. Now, players barely move.
Initially thought it was a controller issue or team issue(since Barca has been messed up in FC 26). Now I find out they destroyed competitive gameplay
What do you mean players barely move ?
I don’t think that’s true
Ultimate team or career mode ?
They made the game easier for semi pro Players
Genuinely sad playing right now the game just feels slower
Players barely run.
You'll have someone like Yamal or Lewandowski or Raphinha and they can't even run with pace or dribble again
Pacey counter is useless
Everyone is complaining about it
I don’t think that’s true , Yamal feels the same for me , my players run really well , Raphinha is amazingly fast , I don’t see how they are slower , I hope you don’t just hold R1 and dribble cos you are meant to sprint with R2
It’s just sad man all they had to do was buff jockey and not touch attacking
Both.
Career mode is worse, especially on PC where it's buggy and Anticheat works against you
Okay maybe on Pc there’s a big difference
I play PlayStation and couldn’t see any problems
Simple. They would have worked on the defense and left attacking
I just played and i won 1-0 I didn’t even feel good
Guys why I can't move my GK in FC 26 ?
Console folks are complaining too
Only way to score is spam trigger runs
I didn’t even think R1 dribbling was so Op before the patch , it was alright
Easy to defend too
I don’t even use r1
The satisfaction of playing the game is lost.
I used to feel satisfied even if I get beaten. Now, it's just meh
Cherche joueur club pro attaquant milieu NextGen me mp
My players just feel sluggish now
what is the best formation rn ?
Yep
For me post patch 4141
Even when I scored the goals don’t feel great
Really
4411 u mesn ?
No I meat 4141
wtf is that
Lmao 💀
It’s only trigger runs and if I try to dribble jockey is so broken opponent recovers cause dribbling is sluggish again
Check it
They gotta lower jockey by 10% revert dribbling and fix corners same way they fixed kickoffs
That’s all
yhh ust tried new dribbling it aucks
Maybe cos I mostly use the left stick and skill moves combo to dribble , I couldn’t see any dribbling nerf, Ea only nerfed R1 dribbling
Bro left stick feels worse
my players dont even rn
Then it’s slow gameplay/servers not the new patch
run
My players deadass move in mud now because jockey is so fast
If they lower jockey and buff dribbling a little we will be good
It's the patch.
It’s early morning where I live and I’m on 16 ping it’s the patch
Then everyone complains again
Ea can’t satisfy everyone in this community
On my stream ppl come in and everyone cries that they can’t defend , that jockey is bad, and ea fixed that and everyone is still complaining
Then they nerf jockey back and ppl will complain again
U can fix something without messing up something else
It’s just that no one wants to lose and ppl hate losing in this community
Their whole selling point this year was a responsive attacking game
Unfortunate that lasted one month
bro r1 was for everyone jocky just needed some buff and i there is alot of ways to defend the r1 one not like the r1 was onlly for good players or spceifc one
what’s the point of authentic gameplay which they advertised so much if they are making competitive the exact same
Not every complaint should be listened to tbh
genuinely go into a career mode game they feel identical
Yep that’s my whole thing
Let some ppl cry
I’m just dejected cause I was really enjoying fifa again
Exactly. It's counter intuitive making Competitive gameplay as slow as Authentic gameplay. It makes no sense
I pray they have a new update quick
not like r1 is a skill for every player just use it if u dont know how that u problem
They’ll probably do polls first again
hii
Bro if they only nerfed r1 i would firm it
Hi guys. Will there be update ?
They messed up all dribbling and jockey everyone feels like fifa 17 kante
That’s not how it should be
EA has a successful streak of destroying something good. It's almost as if someone in the devs team can't stand a good game
If EA don’t patch this i’m actually concerned this could be the end of FUT, been playing since fifa 14 and this gameplay along with fc 25 feels like a chore to play, i get home from work wanting to play some fifa and it feels as if im going back to work
It’s just important that the community provides constructive feedback and tells ea they want a change
This time it’s on the community
Ea just did what people asked them to
Then I afraid for the community 😂
no one knows
all these div 10-5 players asking for R1 / left stick to be needed is such a skill issue
👍 ok
unless there is huge complations maybe
Community is in the mud anyways
btw left stick feels clunky now idc what anyone says
They're destroying gameplay for both online and offline gamers.
There should be a different edition for online gamers
That they patched defending shows how many people just wanna be spoonfed
Bruh every match after update it will just random kick me in match and I can't completed even 1 match
they ruined the game its not about skill gap or skill issue they made players like pina swanson lavelle anyone with high dribbling feel like a bus
1000000% is
I really hope ea sees the problem soon
Or they could have a third additional gameplay "I can't play fast enough gameplay" for players who feel competitive gameplay is too quick for them
Left stick feels worse because jockey is too op
i would assume a update in the next few days but no one knows because some people like it
In games like cod it takes the next game for changes to happen
does anybody has the same issue in rush when u foul somebody the game just ends?
😭😭
wdym ends
Idk if I’ll play WL man
it literally ends
I’ll give it a go I pray it feels good
i get the error that i lost connection
and i get the points
everytime somebody gets a foul
im gunna get cooked by 30 depth 4213 players man, gunna be going from 13-14 wins to 9 guarantee it
the problem with the game for me is for the past few weeks i have had nothing in packs in 11-13wins nothing div 2-1 rivals nothing its very de motivating and making me wanna just get lower wins and de rank
free points so i do not complain
jus cos these div 5 players can sit back and let the AI do everything
the new generation is so spoon fed it’s crazy, as soon as they are bad at something they beg for it to be nerfed
welcome to games
fortnite did it
cod did it
It’s so sad how these ppl now say the others ones are the sweaty rats for wanting to abuse r1 dribbling
So tone deaf
Genuinely don’t know when this became the norm
It used to be a cool thing to have ppl so much better than u so u gotta grind to reach their level
Skill gap was accepted and embraced
EA had a good game the first two weeks, all that needed fixing was kick off and corners, maybe like a 5% increase to manual jockey
nobody asked for anything else
yeaaa ok your in the minority bruv, if you enjoy playing this sit back counter sim then you do you, but this game isn’t fun in current state
Letting a rush player bait u
Actually, if you couldn't keep up with the pre patch, you're the one with skill issues. The game was dumbed down
If you're elite, why are excited that the game was slowed
I'm happy with update,3 matches,3 clean sheets
send proof that your in elite div, with this opinion you must be rage baiting
when i end my game of rush ill tag u
nobody comes home from work wanting to play against haram ball
Played again won 2-1 so boring im done for the day
Lol. Arteta 😂
why did EA run these polls if they ignored us?
Exactly!!!!!
there was like 65% saying neutral for both
There’s a dev in here ik someone is reading this please fix this u had a good foundation of a game.
They lied about letting the community decide. Whoever screamed the loudest got there way. Thats not how it works
Only little kids and popular content creators can have a say
@real current
waiting
I'm not playing haram ball,I'm laying very attacking football
done
First time posting here so dunno where to put this.
But for competitive gameplay online in fut I would like to see an indicator when my opponent engages teammate contain/2nd man press.
Am I the only one getting perma DC'ed on PC?
4231 sucks rn
check bug report disconnect pc and do what somebody said there, i had the same issue
counter attacks is nerly impossiable
Will the devs actually give love to career mode and clubs or does the entire budget go to glazing ultimate team
Hi, just dropping by for a bit. Does anyone here know how to fix this issue?
"You have lost your online connection. Check your home network. You will jot be able to access FC's online features until you can reconnect to EA Servers. Go to ea.com/unable-to-connect to find out more."
I wait for a few min and I reconnect
As in not entering the game for a few mins?
hello guyd
every game on pc diosconnecting ffs
im laging on pc an dkeep dc affter new patch anyoen know how to fix?
Is the Pc disconnect bug still happening?
EA abandoned us PC players
bro
Mine is happening on console 🗿
you cant play as pc play for one day always dc duringg game how ea even dont say ok guys we know thhe problem thats crazzy
Is the server down rn on ps?
no
they know the disconnect problm ? or they dont care?
Why do I DC mid match??????
I agree. I’m enjoying the game more. Sorry to R1 merchants.
54 bn company
I thought it was my internet connection
PC users probl
i cant play to
always disco in match
thats why i join here , to see if they talk any sht about it
every pc play dissconned guys
So is pc still bugged?
Damn
guys i make a text on ea forum maybe go there and give it a like
that maybe they will see it
i will make a twitter text also
i think pc Players are to chill thats why ea doing nothing for us
Bro, the CDM merchants are the issue ngl, the games good it's just those people
is the market limit for ever or just once
I got removed twice then I can play normally again anyone same?
2 games then im ok
same here they destroyed something
guys you discconed if the ball went often to the out
thats crazy by the way, serios the problem is here since the new patch
i am not sure if they even know about the problem please go on twitter like posts or write some post for you self
Dont buy FIFA points
too late im cooked when the update drops😞
It’s all about balance. Before people could R1 dribble through players throughout the entire length of the field - that is not realistic. Jockey was non existence. Defense is more responsive. It’s easier to stop kick off goals and corners
Guys
i mean you dont get a win draw or lose but you cant play the game
Guys anyone did the silver icon and didn't play the matches, i want him to play with me because I'm lazy to that icon silver, I'm div 2
I would've been good with r1 staying the same but jockey having its buff, I didn't even use r1
The game is perfect now! Requires some football skills, have to think ahead what passes to make, see quickly what paths open up. This is more of a passing game and before it was just a fidget spinning game 🙌
Finally someone who thinks same as me!
Is Pogba sbc coming out later today?
How we can find
go on nw
nw
new i marker everything from ea
on all pc player if you go to side out with the ball you always will gett a dc
💯
Is anything a foul nowadays
why are all games i play it dc's cause the match is under review
but when its a hacker its never under review
@stiff mauve pc bugg bro after new noone can play
as pc player i cant play a game on full time
but thats a very very good point for futdraft
Is the game bugged on pc wtf
Im trying to play drafts and im getting disconnected every game and im winning
You get the win or it counts as a loss?
Fix disconnection on PC 😡😡😡
Loss
Zero communication about DC for PC Players
What a shame
Is there a live chat for things like this?
Hopefully they fix it before wl
what should I do besides player career mode that could be fun (I have not played fifa/fc since 2017
Let me play my haram ball
Pro clubs with friends
I dont have anyone added in my playstation account I moved houses and I dont have connections with them anymore
Play Rush
And that is?
Messi's dribbling might still be OP
I wonder how good his dribbling was in fifa 12
999 dribbling??
Can you say what div you had before the update?
Yo this game is actually horrid
I’m getting the ball back by running into people from behind them
#📸┃fc26-snapshots 🙏🏽🙏🏽
No wonder the trash players like this update
This is what I am saying it's trash
It's like I am playing fc 25 again
The pre order icon when he gets upgraded next month is the card going to get reset if I did evo base? Example I gave mu icon gamechanger+ it's going to be removed?
“ I don’t understand how to press and tackle the ball like in actual football” translates to
“This patch is great everything is now balanced”
They defend with the cdm and they feel like they are good
anyone having problems with disconnecting from games, its been like 6 in a row
Can’t be helped man
They made a good game
The community wanted this
Or we’ll
Well*
Do any of you play manager caterer
The majority of kids who have no idea how to play football
Wanted this back
So here we are
Maybe they can reverse this trash update and repair the corners
It isn’t eas fault this year
It's so sad so sad
If they wnat slower gameplay go play career
everyone just needs to give ea feedback in their forum
Bro honestly
Maybe theyll listen
I’m not even buying a team for wl
Where i can find it
So fc 26 is a failure like fc 25?
I’m gonna play for 6 wins
yup
No it wasn't until you guys start crying cuz you can't defend
Anyone who says this game is failed is just plain stupid lol
I sold everything and now I am pro clubs main player 🙂
What does this have to do with me
Yea pretty much
I’m staying liquid mostly
This game was amazing until everyone complained
Until next patch
Yea idk I'm having fun with the game I don't get why everyone is mad now
I’d rather lose
Than play and grind
On the current state
It’s sad how u go from a fun game to this crap
Sorry my bad the community started to cry and then they did this trash update
Bruh
I mean I'm still happy I didn't even realize alot changed
The game isnt even bad😂 idk why people are mad
What div you've been before the update
