00:02MAKE GAMEPLAY BETTER
00:04Queste 3 words summarise our full focus this year
00:08An overhauled gameplay experience that's responsive, rewarding and powered by your feedback
00:13Here's what's new
00:14First, we separated gameplay into two presets
00:19Competitive gameplay, customized for more responsiveness and player control in online modes
00:24And Authentic gameplay, tuned for more realism in offline modes
00:29So that your experience is tailored to where and how you play
00:33Second, we refined the gameplay fundamentals across all modes
00:37Pace, passing, tackling, saves, physicality, everything to address your most requested changes
00:44And third, we added a host of other exciting community-inspired features and updates
00:49From new player roles and playstyles to a high contrast mode
00:54Let's start with the biggest change, and something you've been very vocal about
00:58Splitting gameplay into two separate experiences based on where and how you play
01:03For the first time, online modes like Football Ultimate Team and Clubs
01:07Will have their own tailored gameplay preset called Competitive gameplay
01:11While offline modes like Manager and Player Career will default to Authentic gameplay
01:18Competitive gameplay is fast, dynamic and attacking football
01:22That rewards you for skill, timing and quick decision making
01:25It's designed to feel extra responsive, give you more control on the pitch
01:29And deliver a more consistent gameplay experience
01:32Passing feels quicker, dribbling feels more dynamic, the paciest players feel more explosive
01:38We've even chosen the most responsive animations to keep matches feeling fast and smooth
01:43Auto tackles and blocks are less common, encouraging you to take control on defense
01:48And you'll be rewarded for great timing with fewer tackles bouncing back to your opponent
01:53Goalkeepers will also parry the ball to safety more often
01:56Reducing the number of frustrating rebound goals that feel out of your control
02:00Every detail of the competitive gameplay experience is built to deliver on those three community priorities
02:07Responsiveness, consistency and control
02:11Authentic gameplay, our preset for career
02:14Is immersive realistic football that emulates how the real world game looks, feels and plays
02:21Designed to deliver a simulation gameplay experience
02:24From true physics to our most realistic animations
02:28Capturing the same pace and unpredictability that makes football great
02:32Authentic gameplay will still feel responsive
02:35But matches will be less rapid fire than in FUT
02:38Giving that last minute corner or goal saving tackle
02:41The real world gravitas that we know our career players love
02:45And in contrast to competitive gameplay
02:47Things like AI defending will be tuned differently to reflect how important teamwork is in football
02:52Although competitive and authentic are customized for different styles of play
02:57You'll still be able to toggle between both presets and kickoff and career to tailor your gameplay experience
03:03Our second big gameplay innovation for FC26 applies to both competitive and authentic gameplay
03:10A focus on refining what we call the gameplay fundamentals
03:13Goalkeeping, agility, tackles and interceptions, passing and dribbling, attacking movement and physicality
03:21Here's what we've heard over the last year
03:23And how we reworked those fundamentals to address your feedback
03:28Goalkeepers are inconsistent
03:30Expect keepers to be smarter and more consistent in FC26
03:34We're using machine learning to train them in hundreds of thousands of in-game situations
03:38To find the best positioning
03:40Including those little micro-steps world-class keepers use to close the angle
03:44Changing directions feels so heavy
03:47Players can now turn quicker and accelerate more explosively in any direction
03:52Making everyone feel more agile and responsive
03:54And we've continued to tune the relative pace of players
03:58To ensure that the fastest players feel like the quickest ones on the pitch
04:01Tackles and interceptions often bounce back to my opponent
04:05This is a big one
04:07One we've dedicated hundreds of hours to improving
04:09And now you'll be more likely to win the ball cleanly
04:12And retain possession in those moments
04:15Passing and dribbling feel sluggish
04:17Both of these are more responsive in FC26
04:20Passing and dribbling will feel different between competitive and authentic
04:24But they'll both be more fluid and reactive than last year
04:27To ensure that the game feels dynamic and in your control
04:30My teammates need to make better runs
04:33We agree that fluid attacking movement is key to fun and dynamic gameplay
04:38And we've retuned the runs your teammates will make as you progress up the pitch
04:43To give you even more options and support
04:46I can't protect the ball when pressed
04:49We've created brand new ways for you to use physicality to shield the ball in FC26
04:54By pressing the shield button
04:56You can now seal off your opponent as they try to press you
04:59Or bump them with your shoulder as you dribble to make a bit of space
05:02Low drivins used to be great
05:04We're bringing back a community favourite mechanic and improving on it
05:08Low drivins can now be triggered on demand by double tapping the shoot button
05:12And this can be applied to all shot types
05:15Allowing you to turn your finesse or power shots into low drivins with a second tap
05:20This also replaces timed finishing
05:22Meaning that precision shooting will now become the primary skill based mechanic for scoring goals
05:27Each of these updates to gameplay fundamentals is designed to address the most common feedback we get
05:34And together set a better foundation for the overall gameplay experience in FC26
05:39Another widely requested feature we're excited to add this year is High Contrast Mode
05:45We've made High Contrast Mode customizable so you can create a visual experience that's best for what you need
05:51You'll be in control of the colours of each team, the keepers, the ball, the referee
05:55And you'll even be able to turn off player or stadium shadows
05:59Plus adjust the overall pitch saturation
06:02We've also added simplified skill moves
06:05Allowing you to perform a relevant skill with a simple flick of the right stick in a given direction
06:10We're introducing five new play styles in FC26
06:14Precision Header, Aerial Fortress, Game Changer for those flare finishers, Inventive for flare passers
06:20And Enforcer, which dials up those improvements to off-ball shielding
06:24You'll also see new player roles in FC26 that epitomize the modern game
06:30Ball playing keeper, wide back, inverted wing back and box crusher
06:34Just like the other player roles, these new roles are opportunities to customize your tactical approach
06:41And push beyond a rigid formation
06:43Great gameplay is at the heart of what makes an FC game fun
06:47That's why we're so excited about FC26
06:50The split of competitive and authentic gameplay
06:53Allows us to customize and improve your experience based on where and how you play
06:58And refined fundamentals across the game deliver on your feedback
07:03Making gameplay more responsive, consistent and rewarding
