I’m honestly done playing FC26 until something is done about how overpowered defending is right now. The defensive AI is doing far too much of the work for players, and the “0 depth” setups with multiple CDMs make the game completely unenjoyable. You can move the ball, time passes perfectly, and still run into a brick wall of auto-blocks and instant interceptions. It doesn’t feel like you’re playing against a person — it feels like you’re playing against a machine.

Manual defending barely matters because the AI constantly repositions and fills every gap, while attackers feel sluggish and punished for trying anything creative. Games turn into people sitting back with two DMs and waiting for one counterattack. That’s not football, and it’s not what was promised when you said you wanted to make defending more manual and skill-based.

It’s impossible to enjoy the game or progress fairly when the defensive side gets so much invisible assistance. I don’t want to spend time grinding or trading in a game that rewards sitting deep and letting the AI do all the work.

The AI blocking, interception range, and recovery speed need to be toned down, and 0-depth tactics need a proper fix so players can’t park everyone on the goal line all match. Defending should reward positioning and timing, not automation.

Please pass this directly to the gameplay balance and systems team — not just log it as general dissatisfaction. Until this is patched, I’m not playing.

The defending has been nerfed to the ground. Please make defending equally powerful compared to attackers.

Game has just become an unrealistic goal fest for skill and pace abusers as defending has been severely nerfed

#

Bro consider attacking without ai once where you control 6 players at once.

You just want defending to be nerfed and attacking to be overpowered to aid you in your way of play

First attack without ai and control all players at once and then ask for defense without AI

What are you talking about? The guy is right in higher divisions, WL and cup modes everyone is using just CDMs and lets the AI defend for them. Thats not how it should be period. The AI should never do anything for you thats not how it should be. You must be forced to select a defender and defend by yourself. The AI should never follow you auto tackle you and or auto block anything. Its not normal that people deselect defenders and let the AI defend thats not how it should be.

They need to nerg the second man to the ground and ot add a timer. Say if someone uses second kan press it follows you for 1 second and stops. Double man press should be removed altogether. They need to somehow make sure people are forced to select defenders instead of just using CDMs

This is big facts^^^^ feels like week 1 with worse teams during early release there was some decent passing buildup and ability to beat press but nah completely gone as players sniff 80+ pace in every position which is every team now. Now if you don’t have 2 dms you are not someotitive at all

Why complain only about AI defending assistance while attacking gameplay has never been this assisted ?
Defending and attacking need to be revamped completely to have a more (semi) manual game that looks and feels like football

How is attacking assisted? Attackers barely make runs—I have to send them forward using the bumpers because they never make runs on their own. People are forced to use player lock to get their attackers to move forward, since the AI does nothing but stand and wait. So, I have no idea what you're talking about. Attacking AI is nonexistent at the moment. You need to use player lock for manual runs because the AI just doesn't do it. So, no, I don't agree—the only thing that's AI-assisted is defending, and it needs to be nerfed into the ground.

i'm not talking about runs, i'm talking about AI assistance when you pass, 1 slight touch of X sends a perfect and powerpul pass to anyone on the pitch, double triangle to the striker will make your defenders glitch, passing when you use player lock is completely glitched as well and can get trough 3 players easily etc.
I'm also talking about touches, no matter which pass you use "X, R1 + X etc", you never have to worry about bad touches, everything will be perfect so you can spam X, no matter in which position you are or where you aim to

And that is without talking about overpowered agility etc
