Two distinct gameplay modes, for both online and local play.
Pleasant to handle, smooth and less plagued by collision bugs.
More beautiful than the previous one

More variety and flexibility in Ultimate Team mode
An even stronger immersion in the games and their atmosphere.

Tangible response to community feedback on essential topics after many years.

Having two different gameplays is a good idea.
It is still the most comprehensive sports game on the market.
Good step forward in terms of animations and variety.

In FUT, it is too unbalanced in favor of the attack.
The realistic gameplay lacks dynamism.
Even the Season Pass is becoming paid.
Official licenses for Inter, Milan, Atalanta, and Lazio are missing.

A career mode just as comprehensive as FM...
The two different gameplays for certain modes
The rush mode finally allows you to play as the goalkeeper.
A much cleaner interface on all modes
The construction of the game relies on realistic and competitive gameplay.
The new animations make the game more polished and realistic.
The Clubs and UT modes, a slight redesign that is pleasing.

Content that doesn't move much
When will there be a revamp of the online seasons mode?
The irregular keepers on both gameplays
Still the eternal licensing issues with certain clubs

Solid and smooth gameplay with a real difference between Competitive and Authentic styles.
Rewarding progression in Pro Clubs and Career.
Better integrated positions for a more personalized experience.
Live events and motivating challenges in online modes.

Few real innovations in the game modes. Visual and sound presentation almost identical to FC 25. Lack of risk-taking in additions and innovations.

Graphically in line with what was done well in the last chapter.
Improvements in animations
He scores a lot (maybe too much) but it's fun to create goal opportunities...
Management of a more consistent gameplay style...

...Much to the dismay of the role of midfielders
...But not to the point of expanding the Meta
Simulative gameplay that doesn't take off
Microtransactions are always too impactful.

The ability to choose between Competitive mode and Authentic mode saves the game for this year.
Better sense of immediacy on the field with smarter goalkeepers.
Some positive contributions to the content of the career.

Some positive contributions to the content of the career.
It remains essentially the same game as the previous one.
Defense is sacrificed on the altar of fast pace and high scores.
Scripting. That's all that needs to be said.
The most aggressive implementation of microtransactions in a sports title.

Two game modes to satisfy all fans.
Improvements to animations, movements, and ball and player physics.
Various improvements have been added, such as random events and Live Challenges.
Hundreds of teams with official licenses and updated player designs for both men and women...

...but the lack of certain licenses is really felt, such as the main teams and stadiums of Serie A.
The defensive phase is excessively complex and laborious.
Pay-to-win is still predominant in Ultimate Team and now also with Archetypes.
There are still some bugs and the random invincibility of goalkeepers.

The authentic versus competitive gameplay is a great addition, where both are assigned to their respective game modes.
The football is much more realistic. The dribbling, goalkeeping, and other aspects were modified to provide a better virtual football experience.

The lack of content is worrying. It seems like almost nothing was noticeably improved.
The performance isn?t great as there are occasional frame drops, stutters, and so on. Even the most powerful systems are not safe.
The game crashes more often than it should, and at specific points in the game.
