#EA ruined FC 26 with the first patch

I honestly don’t know how EA managed this, but FC 26 already feels ruined.

A few days ago I was telling my friends this was the best FIFA/FC game I’ve played in years. Then the patch dropped… and now it feels like a completely different game.

The patch notes looked fine on paper, but in practice the game is awful. Everything feels slow, attacking is sluggish, passes don’t go where they should, the AI defending is insanely overpowered (idk why people keep crying about buffing defending tbh) and the ball just bounces around in the dumbest ways.

At first I thought maybe it was just me having a bad session, or the servers were bad again, but nothing has changed ever since the patch dropped. I also noticed some streamers x pro players saying the same thing.

Anyone else experiencing this? Because if this is how the game’s going to be all year… it’s gonna be rough.

Skill issue get better at fidget spinning.

Defense is severerly nerfed and underpowered this year. They have not fixed the defending ai yet.

Wait till they actually fix the defending and make the defense able to cope with fidget spinners

I've been feeling the sluggish movement after the patch as well

you can make a little experiment as i've done: reinstall fc25 and try to defend in the same way and you will see that in fc26 a lot of defensive animations don't even exist in the game. Example: bruiser and jockey that are very important to counter the wing forwards and to counter the movements of the attackers in the box

#

are not working at all.. try a match with a squad with someone who has bruiser+ or jockey+ and you will see that nothing happens when you press L2 for jockey and X for bruiser

be smart bros, it's not the patch. It's the fact that all of a sudden the servers got overloaded with milions and milions of players.

@tough stump exactly. Defender are automatically tracking even creative runs. Where is the manual defending on this. It has become a park the bus and counter attack merchants. That's the only way to score it. Defending has changed a lot from its release to now. Ppl are now only scoring on counter attacks and kick offs and think this game is the same as in the release, when you had countless way to score

Honestly, all the same. I was ENJOYING so much the early game. Now, the passes, dribble, looks terrible, feels sluggish. I was able to defend, but now not

#

The fact that I'm trying to build up play. If I lost the ball, I get counter with 2 passes and then he fidget spinners my defense, you can'.t defend

The thing is, its not even the fidget spinner that make me mad more. It's the fact that with one pass the guy is in your box lmaoo

#

no midfield at all, the midfielder are useless if you dont control them

AI defending is OP as hell. In higher divisions people just select the CDMs and let yhe second man AI press you the whole time. You dont even have to switch to the defenders they just follow you like shadows. Not to mention how OP offside traps are.

FIX: Remove offside trap toggle. And nerf the second man press so that it does not follow you around and never auto tackles.

Just delete your last uptade. The game was so good, the players who bought the standard edition won't know how good the game was in the first week.
