#Ai defending Is Overpowered

Feel you
Totally agree… that shadow update of last week buffed AI defending and 2nd man pressing to the moon
You guys have a skill issue. The ai defending is trash now. Very unreliable. I used to spam it, no switching now that's risky.
Honestly the main problem is R1 defending it has to be nerfed to the ground
Have the same skill than 2 weeks ago… AI defending feels completely different than 2 weeks ago
@cerulean apex bro i was in elite last season everyone holding r2
Everyone is talking about last season. Fifa has changed. Change your game tooo. What level are you this FC 26?
@cerulean apex I'm talking about this season
AI defending makes this game unenjoyable. It does everything for you. Every game is conjested and has entire teams in the box that block every shot. If you watched the old game that had the best gameplay, everything was wide open. The games were high scoring. AI defending is a joke how good it is. AI offense is a joke how bad it is. On defense a player can right stick switch to any player instantly to maintain shape and pressure, they can contain, they can teammate contain, they can double man press, they can half team press, they can instantly turn on team press, they can instantly offside trap, the AI also offside traps, they can shoulder barge, they can tackle from behind, they can out run any attacker, they can move laterally faster than ball carriers, they can pull jerseys, they can go into tactics and put 10 guys in their box, the AI auto blocks shots. There are a million more OP defensive mechanics in this game compared to offense which makes defense way better and easier than it should be. There isnt a balance
Everyone runs around with their CDM’s with Intercept rather than touching their defenders. Unbelievably broken game.
AFter 500 hours played, please nerf AI defenc

I agree with everything you’ve said but I think that’s a very good point about the congestion of players and it probably explains why player switching doesn’t seem to work… because the players now are so congested. Before you had more spaces so in both in attack made variations possible and defensively you could switch and play for tactically now it’s game of who can spam the quickest
Just revert back to patch no. 2 where defending was buffed,left stick dribbling was there, jockey was buffed but technical playstyle was nerfed
But timmis with low iq and rtfm wanted to spin like beyblade and then all went downhill from patch no. 3
Do you mean Version 1.1.0 which was released on October 23, 2025?
dont know which version but technical was nerfed in that version but left stick dribbling was super OP
I genuinely can’t believe how strong ai still is - it’s acc game changing it’s making awful awful players good ones
Last day on ultimate for a while hopefully they nerf it one day

I’m not sure if I agree with this but EA definitely messed up with the overcorrection of balancing. purposely reducing a skill gap, which ultimately disadvantages of us in the gameplay. EA do will everything in their power to make people stay playing this already dead game. This is what we call rigging/scripting games.
Yea pls just bring out the Same Patch as the start of the Game pls
My players are actually never open and all they do is run behind the defenders so I can’t pass to them
press RB or R1 to call them back

Nerf the spamming of X/A. Or make the referees call a foul for once. Clearly this game was made using AI hence AI is so powerful. Leave the joypad and you'll see how OP the AI is.
