December Feedback Update
Welcome to the FC 26 December Feedback Update.
Today we’re sharing several changes coming in an early January update, based on your feedback.
Let’s kick things off with Game Designer Rory, who will walk through an upcoming change to AI Defending in the following video.
AI Defending
As we mentioned at the end of November, we’re continuing to run our own investigations and tests while reviewing all of your feedback.
In the next update, AI defenders will have slower reaction times when marking the ball carrier, which can result in them leaving more space open while transitioning between actions.
New Releases Hub in Ultimate Team
We’ll be adding a New Releases hub in Ultimate Team that highlights new SBCs, Objectives, and more.
We’ll share more details closer to release.
See below for a sneak peak!
Squad Battles CPU AI
We’ve heard your feedback about the Squad Battles CPU AI becoming too difficult and frustrating to play against, especially on higher difficulties, due to its focus on maintaining possession.
With the next update, the Squad Battles CPU AI will now focus more on moving the ball up the pitch while creating chances quicker.
Career Mode Player Potential Indicator
In the last update, the UI added a new status indicator for a player’s willingness to renegotiate a contract, but it replaced the player potential indicator.
We’ll be bringing back the player potential indicator in an early January update based on your feedback, and the UI will display both indicators.
