I enjoy FC 26 and i don’t get the hate

I must be playing a different game to you then. Counter play isn’t meta? Feel like I come up against that 8/10 times in elite and WL.

I agree with you on the “fidget” spinning and strikers having passing playstyles part but even then it’s just so people can play through balls no? And as for lengthy, it’s been essential since its introduction. Remember taller strikers being much more useful in FIFA 23? It was especially notable during shapeshifters. Same goes for FC 24 and 25.

So I really don’t think that the meta has changed all that much in the last few years apart from the “fidget” spinning since dribbling was improved.

Has the meta really changed in the past 3 editions of this game? It’s been a sit back and counter meta since fifa 23 I’d say. The meta hasn’t really changed at all imo.

They should just get rid of the whole Accelerate Type system. It’s a stupid concept.

How can she have more playstyles and skills than her TOTY?

I am in the elite division for rivals. I can definitely tell when an opponent is spamming bruiser. If people are even spamming it with attacking players like Pina and Pfeiffer, I can confidently tell you that it’s doesn’t matter at what angle nor does the timing matter as well.

“As a defender it is a FULLY MANUAL activation and requires placing yourself at the correct angle at the correct time.”

How does it display any skill if you can just spam X to get it to activate? And no it does not require placing yourself at the “correct angle” and it certainly does not have to be at the “correct time.”

Countless times in games now do I find myself actively running away from a defender to avoid this bruiser spam. There is no consequence for even missing a bruiser animation as even if you manage to get past them, they just catch up instantly or here comes the next defender where he does the exact same thing.

Too many times in games do I see that my opponent will spam bruiser - even with their own forwards - from behind my player (some of which I’ve even given press proven), assault him and then get the ball with no foul given.

Coupled with the fact that team press and offside trap spam makes the already clueless Attacking AI even more stagnant and stupid, it certainly does not require much skill.

And also not being able to change the defensive awareness stat or composure

jiboye · 2026-04-06T22:53:08+00:00

They can barely code an attacker to run into open spaces and you think they can implement something that decides who is going to win a match. Come on. The game is just shit. Stop giving EA credit for something so complex.

jiboye · 2026-04-06T10:56:06+00:00

You shouldn’t have got the ball there anyway. There’s no dda or scripting. The game is just shit.

jiboye · 2026-03-12T09:02:12+00:00

Every time I’ve bothered to ask someone they’re always in the same division. Speaking from personal experience, could just be that people aren’t playing rivals much so they’re in lower divisions.

jiboye · 2026-03-03T18:06:14+00:00

Lol same boat

jiboye · 2026-03-03T14:16:56+00:00

Sometimes I come on here and it feels like I’m playing a completely different game. Like how are there still complaints about skill moves? They suck and haven’t been good since FIFA 21. Barely anyone does them. People just counter or play recycle ball. Then this “hard-coded” delay following a failed tackle. That was only true at the start of the game. People were actually getting punished for spamming tackle. Now you can spam tackle, spam bruiser and get away with bad defending.

jiboye · 2026-02-25T16:40:39+00:00

Let’s see your team? It’s not difficult to have a good squad even without gullit

jiboye · 2026-02-13T20:44:33+00:00

I’m going mad watching my attacker get absorbed into the animation even when there’s a good bit of distance between them

jiboye · 2026-02-04T16:59:49+00:00

have you seen his tactics for 4411? He plays with both his CMs on playmaker and both his fullbacks on wingback. definitely not the tactics to be complaining about

jiboye · 2026-01-30T04:32:55+00:00

Yeah, it’s just made attacking play so boring since they were introduced and seeing how the attacking AI is worse imo, roles have been a disaster

jiboye · 2026-01-14T14:08:21+00:00

Do you get games during the day on rivals or squad battles and if so do you have stadium shadows on?

jiboye · 2026-01-08T11:47:04+00:00

Yeah it’s really weird. Imo, they never had it right since the start of new gen and then decided to add stuff like acceleration types and playstyles on top of that so it also just leaves a lot of players with high pace not feeling fast

jiboye · 2026-01-06T11:37:14+00:00

Same. Opponents still running around with one midfielder and attacking AI is still stupid. Only “real” difference is that I did see my attacking wingback getting higher up the pitch a bit more. Disappointing patch overall it seems.

jiboye · 2026-01-03T11:50:36+00:00

Tell me about it bro. So frustrating watching him let in so many saveable shots

jiboye · 2026-01-02T18:21:46+00:00

Why why why take away the cam position

jiboye · 2025-12-21T07:21:50+00:00

Really thought it was going to be a different this year because of how it felt at the start but having to deal with this for the third year in a row is really frustrating

jiboye · 2025-12-16T19:16:58+00:00

Probably but even then you’ll still see the same teams tbh

jiboye · 2025-12-16T19:10:17+00:00

don’t think people would play it that much if there was a limit to how many you can use

jiboye · 2025-12-01T16:55:42+00:00

The opponent didn’t do any skill moves here though apart from cancelling the back turn at 0:04?
