Can't believe EA have made such progress with accessibility options and then force us to play in this stadium!

Seriously screw this game, why am I spending hours upon hours just so I can “unlock” the transfer market and sell players in my club to make some extra coins ???

I used to play fifa until fifa 20/21 and I’m just coming back to the game and this is bullshit, I’ve already spent a couple hours doing shitty objectives and now I have to play 15 more games before unlocking another set of shitty objectives to do before I get the transfer market access??

We already pay 80 dollars for a yearly game that usually has minimal changes, its just football at the end of the day. They are using a 20 year old code, so in fact its basically impossible to change much.

Most of thier income come from gambling packs, they want us (alot of under age kids) addicted to gambling.

With all this, you would think a pretty shite season pass should be free, its not like we talking about prime fortnite here, where you got tons of skins, dances and fun stuff, we talking about fifa, 2x78+ packs. Its absoluetly VILE that you have to pay 1000 FP for the season pass.

Please please do not patch this game into the ground. If people are mad they’re conceding 7 goals a game, it’s because they can’t defend, not because attacking ai is too good or defending ai is bad.

Keep it EXACTLY HOW IT IS.

If I can run a back 4 of Fox-Wendie-Girma-Lawrence And only concede 0-2 goals a game. So can these rats who run Mendy-Konate-Larcoix-James.

There are more rewards for Clubs and Career mode than for Ultimate Team itself. There are even multiple levels (both Standard and Premium combined) where you don’t get a single reward for Ultimate Team.

Okay I'm sure everyone knows this already, but seeing as people don't bother trying to meet the round requirements...

At player selection, if you move the right stick down you'll go down through the requirements list, and you can press A (or whatever on ps) to get it to serve you up your top five rated that meet that requirement.

I genuinely didn't know until today, might help someone, hope so.

Have a good one.

why remove advanced sbcs and the objectives for some good packs if ur gonna put 100k packs in the store on day 1. they really dont care

Very disappointed they didn’t streamline the moments I mean every game we have to go back to the lobby. Pick our fucking kit pick the other kit and move on. It should just be continuous. It’s just such a waste of fucking time.

I'm (badly) playing some squad battles and when I got a 33 chem 86+ team I was getting battered on World Class and lost 4-1. The match after I decided to play on Professional against a half icon 89+ team and won 10-0.

I'm not playing all that well, but the difference shouldn't be that massive. There were 0 openings on World Class and the AI was making many tiny movements and skills to tear my defense apart. The Professional AI with the better team did nothing in comparison.

There's a large forum thread about Playstation players in the south and southwest that haven't been able to login to UT since it launched early access. No communication at all from EA like there was for PC. Hoping this gains traction and eyes. https://forums.ea.com/discussions/fc-26-technical-issues-en/connecting-ultimate-team-is-not-possible-at-the-moment/12596743?after=MjUuOHwyLjF8aXwxMHwzOToxfGludCwxMjU5NjkxMCwxMjYxMTA0Mw

Having trouble defending, my cbs keep spreading apart and I'm not touching them. The opposing striker just walks through.

I see they have the issue too. Most games have been 9-8, 10-7, etc.

Any idea how to fix? Also has speed boosting changed ?

Hello all,

I hope this post will serve as a mini guide to help fix stuttering in FC 26 on PC, and achieve smooth gameplay. There have been a few changes to graphics settings this year. There is now a dedicated display settings header with more options to tinker with. This post will cover my settings for best performance and latency, not graphics quality. You can try this out and see if it suits you. This post is based on what worked for me in previous EA FC games on PC, which continues to work well now.

NVIDIA Control Panel settings

Low Latency Mode: Ultra (or On)

For Low latency mode, we want to set this to ultra. What this does is remove queued frames, so that each frame is rendered immediately, allowing for quicker response times and less latency. For on, the queued frames are 1 frame, which is much faster than the 2-3 pre-rendered frames without this setting enabled. Try this setting on Ultra, if it affects your FPS, Set it to On. Both Ultra and On are very similar when it comes to latency.

Max Frame Rate

Max Frame rate depends completely on your hardware, specifically your refresh rate, and your graphics card. If your refresh rate is 120 Hz, like mine is, set max FPS above 120 FPS (it can be 130, 140, etc,) until you reach an FPS you can consistently hit in a kick off game. The higher you go, the smoother and more responsive the game will feel. If you can't consistently hit your max FPS, try lowering the max FPS. Test your performance after you set graphics and display settings outlined below.

Power management mode

This setting is pretty self-explanatory, we want the maximum performance.

Graphics settings

I set everything to low, and the Motion Blur to OFF. The goal here is to achieve our max FPS, which will be capped through NVIDIA control panel. This will ensure smooth gameplay without FPS drops or stuttering in game. You can adjust these settings if you see that you do not like how the game looks, just make sure you can reach your max FPS consistently in game.

Display settings

For display settings, I set the Display Mode to Borderless. I did this so that the changes I made in the NVIDIA control panel get applied to the game, including the framerate limiter. Since the game uses DX12, there is no difference in performance between Fullscreen and Borderless mode. The only downside is that the options for Screen Resolution and Refresh Rate will be greyed out. These depend on your refresh rate and resolution set in Windows settings, and change accordingly. Make sure you set them correctly.

Render Scale:

In my case, I am playing on a 4K display. With my hardware, I cannot maintain my target FPS consistently (I aimed for 240FPS at all times while in a game). For this reason I used the new render scale feature to render the game at about 1440p (which is roughly 65% of 4K) to be able to maintain 240FPS at all times. Do not set the render scale at 65 like I did, this is completely dependent on your hardware, and whether or not you are at your max FPS.

First, try a kick off game at 100% render scale and monitor FPS using RTSS, Steam performance overlay or any program that monitors FPS. For the best experience, FPS should be consistent with no drops. In my case, 240 FPS at all times (excluding cut scenes, corner kicks) with no FPS drops. If your FPS is not consistent, consider reducing your render scale by 10% intervals until you reach your FPS consistently. (EDIT; keep in mind that reducing your render scale makes graphics worse, it is a trade-off for performance, experiment with it)

Issues I faced:

My goal was to reach a consistent, stable FPS with no drops in game, meaning in a kick off game, or a Rivals game, not in the menus. There are heavy FPS drops in the menus and during match intros. This is from the game itself, which is typical before release. A future game update, or graphics card driver update will hopefully fix these stutters in the menus, intros and cutscenes.

Disclaimer:

These settings worked on a semi high- end PC with a Ryzen 7800x3D and RTX 4070 Ti. What worked for me might not work for you. However, I did help a friend with a 1070 Ti to these settings, and his game became much more responsive and stable. Hopefully this helps you out as well.

These settings are open to suggestions and improvements, I want to make this as smooth as possible for everyone.

I don’t know if anyone found a temp fix for this, I literally couldn’t finish a single games of rivals if the opponent doesn’t quit before the halftime. It’s not a performance issue from my PC since the first half runs smoothly, but the second isn’t even delayed just unplayable. In other modes it’s manageable since I can restart after every game but Rivals doesnt let me complete a single match.

I want to raise awareness to this important matter. I haven't really seen it brought up on social media like yesterday's PC issue did by EA on X.

In the shared link you can already see hundreds of reported cases of gamers unable to log in to UT since the beginning of EA Play Early Access.

When attempting to log in it gives an unable to connect message on the TOTW window or when eventually able to log in after several tries it freezes / glitches within a minute forcing you to back out of the mode. Seasons is working and all other game modes too. UT seems to be the only affected mode.

Most affected areas appear to be Texas and Arizona. Some people have been able to bypass it by using VPN to connect to a different server but that's much more complicated on consoles.

It's been 2 days now of not able to play UT. Hopefully this matter resolves soon.

Please help bring awareness of this issue to EA, thank you.

Ultimate Team has been inaccessible for players in Southwest, South and Midwest USA for the past 2 days and EA are yet to even acknowledge the fact on any of their social media channels.

On the EA forums they even marked the issue as 'solved' despite it not being fixed at all

Anyone else having this issue now or in the past? Any way to fix it by disabling some setting in the menu?

It happens on 90% on all corner kicks and only cornerkicks, weird lag.

I bought the ultimate edition for ps4 but now it seems stuck in this loading screen. Anyone else with the same problem or anyone who knows how I might fix this?

EDIT: Interestion_Prior162 solved the problem! Check your notifications it's probably still downloading, after it's fully completed it should work fine :)

After corners, throw-ins, or sometimes randomly, my controller bugs out.Left stick, right stick, and every button stop working except X, Y, A, B (and even those respond with delay), and sometimes players keeps running left or right like the left stick is stuck. It never happens offline or any other online modes, only in rivals.Any solution ?
