For me, to make the EAFC 26 experience even better and more immersive for the community, the first urgent step is to bring back the amazing goalkeeper animations and details (saves, reflexes, etc.) that disappeared after EAFC 24. Those animations were incredibly satisfying and enjoyable. They were still present in EAFC 24, and since then many of them have been removed, clearly hurting the realism of the game.
Back then, there was real diversity and excitement in seeing the goalkeeper react differently with every shot, making the experience very realistic. Today, in EAFC 26, I notice there are far fewer animations, which leads to a clear sense of repetition and fatigue.
Moreover, in terms of passing animations and overall football realism, it would be extremely beneficial for gameplay and player enjoyment to bring back the ball control and grounded pass animations that were still in FIFA 23 and EAFC 24. I honestly don’t understand why these were removed, since their absence clearly damages the global player experience.
Finally, it is urgent to bring back the nets from EAFC 24 on the PS4 version. Since their integration in FIFA 19, it was such a thrilling feeling to score into those nets.
In conclusion, all these details I’ve listed are crucial. It frustrates and saddens me that since EAFC 25 and now EAFC 26, so many realistic animations that brought strong visual appeal and pure joy for purists have been removed. I truly hope you listen. Thank you.
