EA Sports FC 26

Impulse GamerPaul Stuart

Unlike FC 25 where upgrades translated near exclusively to online play, FC 26 is all about celebrating the primarily offline player. Of which I am one.

EA FC26 is the latest release in the EA Sports Football Club franchise. This year’s edition comes with the promise of big new features and updates. I’m not entirely new to this franchise, though it has been a few years since I’ve jumped onto the virtual pitch. I’m keen to see what the latest additio

As a lifelong soccer fan and avid player, I have a strange love-hate relationship with the virtual version of my favorite sport. Each year, I go in expecting significant changes, only to be disappointed by what feels like simple roster updates. While EA Sports FC 26 doesn't drastically change the game or its fundamentals, it does just enough to feel like a solid change of pace this time around.

Outside of the name change to EA Sports FC, EA Sports’ football series had stagnated. With each passing entry, the community has grown increasingly concerned about the lack of significant changes to the annualized franchise. But after spending several hours with EA Sports FC 26’s many modes, I emerged impressed by the strides EA Sports took with this year’s entry.

EA Sports FC 26 tries to right some of the wrongs of last year, and while it's a superb football title with plenty of depth, there are some frustrations with its gameplay.

EA heard all our complaints about FC 25. I and many others lamented that last year’s game was far too similar to FC 24 and was lacking major changes, and it certainly feels like EA took note of this. EA Sports FC 26, then, comes with some changes that do make it play differently to the previous FC games, though a lot of familiarity (and poor defending) remains.

The EA Sports FC series has found itself in a similar position to many sports titles, where the on-field product remains as authentic and compelling as ever. However, the lack of major changes across various game modes has led to a consistent decline in the series’ performance on this latest generation of consoles.

Phenomenal on-the-pitch gameplay is marred by an awkward UI and lots of faff.

FC 26 is fine for a while, but the longer I played, the more I became annoyed with the control scheme. The AI was a big fun killing factor, and no matter how many times I changed the game's difficulty, it never got better. Still, I had fun with a few of the game modes and love the training games.

EA Sports FC 26 promised to address long-standing fan feedback, and to its credit, several key areas are refreshed. The new gameplay presets border on game-changing, and the franchise’s impressive authenticity remains unrivalled in the sports video game scene. Sadly, FUT rewards extra player spending more than ever, and the menu design is awful.

EA grabs the bull by the teats with the latest EA Sports FC. In our review, you can read that EA Sports FC 26 is solid, but a bigger cash cow than ever...
