Hi EA,
I’d like to share some feedback about FC 26. I believe one of the main issues in recent years is that the second man press no longer works as it used to, and that has turned the game into a constant 1v1 experience with the player you control.
In real football, that’s not how it works — players get help from their teammates. Having the ball always gives the attacker an advantage, and that’s exactly why defensive support and double-teaming are essential in real football.
I understand that some players complain about the CPU taking the ball away, but in real football, you also face two defenders at once — that’s part of the game. The problem arises when people can’t dribble easily, they complain, and you adjust the gameplay to favor skills over realistic football.
I’ve been playing FIFA since FIFA 98, and honestly, I think bringing back a smarter, more cooperative defense would be a big step forward for the game and the community, even if some players criticize it at first. Football is a team sport, and the CPU should play an important role in that.
Thanks for reading ⚽
