EA SPORTS FC 26

News from Nvidia, but FC is used to show the benefits:



Huge backlash online - and I get it, because it's clearly making some characters look less like their original designs, making both male and female characters look like they're make-up models.

But personally I think more refined versions will be great - if it can go beyond simply "guessing" what someone looks like, strictly sticking to reference material for the actor/footballer. Van Dijk, for example, only occasionally looks like Van Dijk.

I don't *love* it, but, taking steps towards genuine photorealism (which isn't a realistic product of most home computers, especially not with current component pricing) is a good thing, IMO.

It's just a shame that the current tech they're "showing off" just looks like this (these made me laugh out loud earlier):

Kinda looks like they used photoshop to map an existing image(generated from AI) and projected into character's face. Uncanny vile.

Seen a few shots now where the keeper gets a hand to it, but then the rebound bounces into the net. Seems like Kasper Schmeichel was their subject for animations

I don't tend to notice this (but then I tend to play older titles, with the exclusion of Football Manager and - recently - Arc Raiders).

However, I thought of you when I saw this tweet before, because, wow.

I only notice it because i am susceptible to motion sickness. It's worse in fast paced video games like a football game.
 
Guy's! I advise you to play with the new update, they have drastically improved the authentic gameplay. Because of the online and its excessive speed, I restarted the offline game disconnected from the EA application and I had a very surprising game!

I have made 3 matches and the game seems slower and have better animations, more varied.
A good step in the right direction.

My friend, this is a tweet from October 2025!That said, I agree — the latest updates have definitely improved the game.

Oh shit, I hadn't seen that, I had it at the top of my list, I didn't pay attention... but luckily that doesn't change my feelings! How do you find the game?

I was fooled by the post as well yesterday.Even though this isn’t the right topic, after the latest updates I reset all the sliders and only tweaked a few parameters from the Authentic set.I’m finding it better now, very similar to the November–December period.

However, when it comes to fouls, I haven’t noticed any difference. Some matches end with 0–1 fouls, others with 4–5. It’s all very random.
 
Is it just me or are the manual controls a bit more manual again? No longer feels like it's on rails as much...on authentic mode anyway
 
Jumped into the game yesterday after a few weeks of not playing. Had 3 season games left in my career mode. Checking the settings before each match is mandatory for me and this time the commentary was switched off. Bugs like these will never change.

The matches itself played quite well in authentic settings, more fluid than the last time I played. But I had pretty high scoring games again, 5 and more goals on average.

After completing the last season game I did 3 transfers for the forthcoming season and ended the current one. So the new season began, all 3 transfers weren't in my squad and still on the transfer market. And of course my budget now was too small to buy them again. I'm done now, deleted the game.

Did you actually negotiate with the players themselves or just with their clubs? It sounds like you forgot the 2nd step of negotiations.

When you don't use up your transfer budget, the board will keep a certain percentage of it for themselves.

The only other thing I can think of is that you'd simply need to skip to the next day to have the players actually join your team with a cutscene.

Of course I did negotiate with the players and haven't forgotten anything. I'm old but not that old. :NO:
And I skipped to the next day, the only cutscene was a player coming back from a loan. It's just one of those many bugs in Career Mode that EA just doesn't care about.
 
Post edited for clarification:

Here's a video from Madden - I was surprised to see similar movement "issues" to FC (where responsiveness is so urgent, it breaks physical constraints).

More to the point (see the tweet at the top, the guy quoting the video), I was interested to learn that there are people in the Madden community who (like some of us) find it really frustrating / sad that this "responsiveness over realism" attitude is EA's approach.

Interesting to know we're not alone.

Part of the new patch notes (drops tomorrow) - good thing or bad thing?





Certainly don't think I've ever seen anything like this before in FIFA/FC!

Is it a total coincidence that "GOALS" has a similar mechanic with a red line that chases you back to the goalkeeper and forces a long kick away if you don't move up the pitch? I suspect not...

Personally I'm against it, mostly because it's forced - not based on pressure, not based on ball spin etc. - and most importantly, it doesn't solve the root cause of "inauthentic football" (i.e. making it much harder to pass instantly and 100% accurately)...

...and the "quick fix" seems to be EA's way, sadly (e.g. "no fouls? How about the AI randomly chops you down in the middle of the pitch, problem solved").

It's (presumably) only for the Competitive guys, so ... sure. But, I'd really like to be able to play online for FC27 and not have to use Competitive gameplay!

There isn't much context in those notes but I'm presuming this is related to online play and addresses trolls and cowardly players who waste time ping ponging it around the back and hogging it with the keeper knowing the game won't allow more than one attacker to pressure them?

Yeah, precisely that.

But, I maintain, the actual solution would be to make this kind of crazy shit impossible to do with the speed and accuracy of a pinball machine (even if it is "Competitive mode", it can't be considered fun - especially when EA are clearly trying to "fix" it for people, just in the quickest possible way):
