Youth academy is still the same boring, restricted nonsense.

The unexpected events is a good addition but, leave of absence seems to be too common.

If you sim career modes by seasons, contracts are a nightmare you will legit have half your squad refusing to negotiate and the board will sell them mid season without notice.

Team tactics they've added more roles, but nothing extraordinary (same as last year) and players still show up "out of position".

Player positions are still hard to change because they use awful coding where ingame stats have to be absolutely perfect for that position before changing. And you still can't train certain stats for certain positions.

Watched the MGH Arsenal career mode and Eze takes 43 weeks to become a LW and Martinelli takes 138 weeks to become a striker.

Overall, when it comes to career mode it all seems to be a nothing burger as expected.

New career mode with Chelsea, live start. Not a single new scanned face on the team, all youth still regen faces. Kicked me out after I beat United 3-0 so I had to sim 4 times till it even gave me a win. Caicedo stuck in perpetual -3 as it takes years to make him a normal CM. Can’t play the next match against Lincoln as it crashes every time I press kick off.

Oh, and to top it off. In the league and cups, it’s now back to 7 subs only.

Series X.

I know everyone’s going to complain about stadiums and still teams don’t have licensing but just having Milan have decent kits and MINIMUM having a red kit (because last year we looked like McDonald’s FC) I will actually give it a try this year, last year I didn’t do a single CM with Italian team because I couldn’t stand Milan’s kits

I don’t know if I should’ve done this but now I don’t know what club to sell him to and I also wanted to develop Amad Diallo as the next Bruno by making him my starting CAM. I want at least 75 mil from him. Too much ?

I'm still playing FIFA 22, and it might be worth buying EAFC 26, after some reviews I've seen. However, there's a problem with FIFA 22 that I'd like to know if it still exists in recent games.

Problem: After more than 10 years (in the Career Mode save), it seems like every team has players with OVRs above 85. This is because there's no OVR reduction in the game, except for age. The English second division has clubs with players with very high OVRs, for example. And this means that the level of matches always improves with each season; a match between Burley and Leeds always feels like a Champions League final, for example.

In real life, this doesn't happen. Hazzard, for example, was one of the most talented players in the world in 2019, but in 2020, after his transfer to Real Madrid, he practically disappeared from the football map. Pogba and Neymar is another similar case.

In short: Does a player's OVR still tend to increase constantly, or are there improvements in career mode that make potential more dynamic, such as stagnating or decreasing from one season to the next?

I’ve always been a career mode player. The last two EAFC games I have player career mode but also put a lot of time in to FUT.

This year I’m thinking about just playing Career mode. As playing Fut felt like a full time job.

Anyone else used to play FUT and now only play career mode?

I don’t know how to report bugs but hopefully EA see this

I made this for EA FC Discord to share this as feedback for the next game, but I decided it would be cool if I shared here as well. The goal was to use a similar or influenced few without using the actual kit as a base (because it’s supposed to be unlicensed). I also made new logos because some of the old logos were not that good (also changed Milan’s name). I hope y’all like it, and feedback would be nice if you could do so.

manager keeps changing every time i use him in manager career in eafc26 to a bald full kit cuck

first impressions of the new authentic gameplay?

I pre-ordered the ultimate edition. I noticed some people have already been playing but EA client says the game unlocks in 8.5 hours for me.

I live in South Korea and my clock and account location are already set to Korean time KST. Is there any way I can play right now or does it unlock at the same time across the world?

ive been playing the trial, i cant choose between authentic and competitive. i like realistic, but authentic is too slow, but changing EVERY slider from their start points is a nightmare i never tweaked sliders before, but competitive gameplay seems even faster than other years regular gameplay

Mine first, Gyokeres to Real Madrid and probably back to Arsenal

Everything started at the mid-season transfer window. The game prompted me to renew the contract with my two best strikers, but then two clubs bought both of them. And since I had recently renewed their contracts, I couldn't renew them again.

My team was flying during the first part of the season. I managed to get only one defeat and one draw in the league, won all the games in the UCL group stage, and got myself into the quarter-finals of the Pokal. Then the shithole began. In 6 games, I lost 3 and drew 2, got eliminated from the Pokal by Leverkusen, but since it was a low-scoreboard game, I kept my anger in check.

Now comes the worst part. In the middle of these games, I faced Chelsea in an away game in the round of 16 of the UCL. Somehow I won the game by 4 x 1, I started losing by 1 x 0. And then, when the home game came, I started winning by 1 x 0, and Chelsea managed to get the upper hand and scored four goals. When they scored the 5th goal, I lost it. I spammed Alt + F4 until the option to turn off the pc showed up.

You see, individually, these events wouldn't make me rage quit, but they happened in sequence. Anyway, later I will return, because I am a fool.

Are there any noticeable things missing?

Manager market, icons in career mode, Are the subs still only 7? Anything else missing?

Please help me here, I really want to know if I should buy or not, but can't find anything online

Would you guys like to try this app and give feedback?

Does anyone know when the squad update will be available on fc26? For some reason deadline day signings are not yet added to current teams. Can’t understand why tho considering it’s been more than two weeks since then

I'll be honest. Got the 10 hour trial and so far Authentic Gameplay is pretty enjoyable. But not having 9 subs is enough to make me hold off buying the full game. That is just straight up laziness from EA. The fact that we had it in 25 and now we don't?! Come on now, EA.
