FC 26 is more than just a new season — it’s a major step forward in core gameplay fundamentals, shaped directly by player feedback. Here's what’s new and refined compared to FC 25:
✅️Faster Dribbling & Movement Players feel lighter and more responsive both on and off the ball — tighter turns, quicker steps, and smoother transitions give more control in key moments.
✅️Smarter, More Reliable Goalkeepers Keepers now make more consistent and intelligent saves — better decisions in 1v1s, improved parrying logic, and smarter reactions reduce frustration.
✅️Improved Defending & Fewer Lucky Rebounds Physicality matters more — well-timed tackles are rewarded, and defenders are less likely to see the ball bounce back to the attacker unrealistically.
✅️Sharper Passing & Shooting Passing is more responsive with better variety and accuracy. Shooting feels cleaner, with faster shot wind-ups and improved decision-making by AI players in front of goal.
✅️Better Attacking & Defensive Positioning Attackers make smarter off-ball runs, and defenders cover space more intelligently — more support, better structure, and fewer gaps.
✅️More Consistent Physical Play Shielding and protecting the ball now depends more on timing and positioning — strength feels earned, not random.
✅️Smoother First Touches & Overall Responsiveness First touches are more predictable and controlled — the game feels more responsive in both Online and Offline modes.
The difference is clear — FC 26 is a true evolution in how the game plays.
