Bought the Ultimate Edition for early access. After purchase EA pushed back the early access release by a day. Bought EA Play to get 10 hour trial for the early access. After purchasing EA Play the trial didn't work for the first couple of hours costing some hours of the trial. Ultimate Edition release stopped my controller from working in game and lost my win streak on rivals. Actually starting to respect how good EA are at scamming me every year. GG EA. Suck my balls

I had a rule where I would wait every other year to purchase an EA FC game. This game has now changed this rule to purchase every decade. Thank you for the refund, EA.

Played a game of career mode and a 69 ovr goalie saved all 14 shots on target. Plus my save file is gone, fuck you EA

Absolute disgrace of a game. Every single year, EA has the audacity to charge full price for what is essentially the exact same product with a shiny new cover slapped on it. New year, but nothing actually feels new. The same recycled animations that look outdated and broken, the same clunky menus that haven’t been touched in years, and the same overall gameplay issues that fans have been screaming about since forever. It’s not just lazy—it’s insulting. This company might genuinely be the laziest, most uninspired developer on the planet. They don’t innovate, they don’t improve, and they don’t listen to the people who keep their franchise alive. Instead, they choose the path of least effort, shoving out a copy-paste version of last year’s game while expecting us to hand over our money like brainless drones. It’s corporate greed at its finest, and EA has turned it into an art form. The worst part? They know exactly what they’re doing. They know players want fresh experiences, and yet they actively refuse to give us that, because they’d rather milk the cash cow dry than actually build something worthwhile. Every year is just another cycle of broken promises and shallow tweaks dressed up as “big improvements.” It’s absolute abuse of their loyal customers, and it shows how little they actually care about the people who support them. And here’s the insane part: if they would invest even 0.005 percent of the money they make into real research, development, and actually creating something new, they could make something incredible. They have the resources, the talent pool, and the fanbase to revolutionize the entire industry—but instead, they choose to pocket billions while giving us the same tired product. I can’t even describe the frustration anymore. Buying this game feels like being scammed in broad daylight, and somehow we let them get away with it. At this point, it isn’t even a game—it’s a yearly subscription to disappointment. EA has perfected the art of sucking the joy out of what should be fun. I hate this company from the bottom of my heart. They’ve ruined something that used to be exciting, and turned it into a soulless money-printing machine. Absolute disgrace.

The person who has lower latency will win the match 99% of the time. disgusting sad piece of garbage game, and i am the clown for buying it

i bought the ultimate edition and still game asking me to pay for season pass what is this piece of trash

game is made for elephants and animals. I get the ball and a center back slide tackles me with the force of 50000 newtonian kilowatts, i break through the line and the enemy from the half way line catches up to me within a millisecond, the game makes me happy, blissful, joy, delight, peace, calm, ecstasy, I am reminded of the walks i went with my father during the autumn

The game is basically unplayable on PC. Most of the time you will spend trying to configure the graphic settings so it does not stutter, lag or crash mid-game. But wait! Your changes NEVER save. So take a screenshot when you finally find the perfect settings, because everytime you reset the game, you will have to do it again! Not to mention the problems around using a controller (let's be honest, who tf plays fifa on a keyboard?) Input lag? Check Controller stop working mid game? Check Absurd input settings? Check EA Support is run by AI/bots or ChatGPT generated answers, so reporting bugs and problems is a no-no My final analysis is: if you don't mind the overprice, the input lag, the graphic problems, the missing content, the constant crashing, the hackers in UT mode, the bad optimization and the trash servers, buy it If you care about literally just being able to play the game you bought, maybe ea fc 26 is pass xd

never ever buy that shit, this `small` company called EA can`t make it work properly for 3 years straight now, just lost a game cuz game just decided to ignore both my keybord and controller ^-^

This game is unplayable even in low settings.. I am having all sorts of issues!!! How come it works fine on console? This is unfair towards pc players.. I want my money back immediately!!!!!!!!!!

No matter what I understand that I am the clown. I keep buying this game, I keep giving you money, and I am equally hopeful every single year that it will be different. It rarely, if ever, is. And again, there has been an absolute disaster of a launch for us on PC. Game won't start, it crashes, it requires you to verify your product, took a few hours before the game even launched, and when it did launch it was FULL of User Interface bugs. I only play Career Mode so I can't speak for Ultimate Team players, however there are more bugs in Career Mode than I could care to explain here. Some of the "old but gold" ones include not being able to see the amount you are offering another club for a player because the numbers blend in with the white cinematic background that they have been recycling for 5 years now. Another "small"--small details matter just as much as big ones, if not more, especially when it comes to immersion and realism--visual nuisance is the fact that if your created manager now wears a shirt, during rainy games, he won't put on a jacket, something EA has had in their game for as long as I can remember. How is stuff like this even remotely possible? How does it get worse? How does it get MORE buggy? How does it remove tiny details we have already had in the game for a decade? It's mind boggling to me. As of right now there are still only 7 subs on the bench in the Premier League. There is also literally zero sound in-game. I have tried to reinstall, verify game-files, still nothing. Still no sound, no commentary. I remember this being an issue in past games as well. Sigh. One thing I will give EA is that the teams have launched with their 3rd kits this year. Everton got the new stadium too, without us having to wait 5 Title Updates before getting it/them. This should just be the norm, but last iterations haven't always launched with the new stadiums and 3rd kits. This time it did. It goes from funny to sad when you look into how much money you make as a company, and yet you keep taking advantage of us. At the VERY LEAST you could have given us a game that actually plays, that actually works... but no, you keep delivering this buggy mess every year. And I get it, I am the idiot for buying it. But I love football and sadly there are no other competitors for it. So I keep coming back like a guy to his abusive, toxic ex-girlfriend with a fat booty.

Just like Messi, this game is unplayable. It has always been abysmal on PC, I’ve fixed lag by turning off shadows, fixed stutters by increasing graphics(what even), and somehow reduced input delay by enabling motion blur. At this point, it’s less a football sim and more a guessing game about which settings EA accidentally left broken.

Better gameplay finally, better then 24 and 25 combined at least for me.And a bunch of new stuff so that keeps the game exciting. OVR 8.5/10

Since I’m writing this review, it means that… well, yes, I got scammed again by EA!! I ordered the game based on their stupid trailers, and the game is just as trashy as FC25 — maybe even worse — because they made me believe this one would actually be better. Remember that video where they talked about input latency and smoother competitive gameplay? Yeah, it’s not there. Heavy players, heavy passes, input lag at its finest. Wow! And of course, the same BS every year: this game is, and always will be, pay-to-win. If you put two equally skilled players against each other — one who worked his ass off to grind for decent gold players, and another who used daddy’s money to buy god-tier players — guess who’s going to win? I don’t usually regret anything, but I regret buying the Ultimate Edition and giving my money to these greedy people. My advice? Wait until December, you’ll get it for half the price. But I’m telling you right now: this game is bad. It’s heavy, not smooth at all, and full of bugs.

definitely the worst fifa I have ever played in my life. This game is so trash. actual piece of garbage. controller loves to stop working mid menu and then you start a game and have to lose bc it just decides to stop working and switch to MNK unless you restart!!! Also it is IMPOSSIBLE to defend!!!! youll have to spend about 12 hours a day learning the dogshit mechanics to have a little bit of fun. Don't waste your money. I wish I could return this pile of dogshit. Never buying from these frauds again I hate this company. I have been playing fifa since 2011 and I just have pure hatred for this dogshit franchise now. It is so bad save your money and just go outside and kick a ball at the wall itll be more enjoyable than playing this absolute shitter game

typical ea garbage, scripted gameplay, shitty passing, terrible defending, constant lag and unoptimised bs on pc buying this game every year is the same as always but this is the worst in the entire franchise never buying fifa again not even for my future kids

tbh ea really cooked this year because the gameplay is way better than last year. The game actually makes you learn how to defend instead of relying on ai to do it for you....8/10

games a joke if you get ultimate edition they claim no returns but i cant even a play a game online these guys are clowns im definitely getting my money back

I must say it's finally a good FIFA after soooo many bad ones. Compared to last year's game it's night and day. - The gameplay is finally on point - No performance issues whatsoever (for me) - Career mode has many new great additions (Scenarios, Icons etc.) - Ultimate Team IS STILL ASS THOUGH

Shitty ass game. I will deprive myself from eating good food this month until I make up what I wasted on this shittery

best fifa released in a long time and i hate EA. Do not change the gameplay in a patch or im uninstalling.
