FC 26 Players

Some time ago, the developers of Football Manager 25 announced that this version of the game would be cancelled, which surprised most football simulation game fans and made them look for other similar games to fill the gap.

This gave EA Sports enough room to develop FC 26, because the Manager Career mode has been greatly improved compared to the content of the previous game in the series, FC 25, and all aspects of this simulation game have been upgraded.

However, it is worth mentioning in advance that although the Manager Career mode of FUT 26 has been greatly improved, in order to truly take advantage of the vacancy left by the cancellation of FM 25, EA must understand some reasons why this series of games is popular among the public and continue to develop on this basis.

Even in the community of FC series of games, players are joking that EA releases the same games every year, with almost no changes. So, in order to help developers better meet this market gap and create a football video game that better meets the expectations of players, this guide will list some most requested features in the player community and social media.

1. Introduce Advanced Tactical Instructions

In a football game with a Manager Career mode, the most obvious way to distinguish between good coaches and bad coaches is to look at the tactical strategies they adopt: because the better coaches will not only rely on the star players in the starting lineup, but also create a dynamic and cohesive system and style to defeat any opponent.

In view of this, the tactical system introduced and used in FIFA 26 must be the best in the current game, which will allow coaches to more accurately lock in the positions of players and set the formation, pressing and defensive line accordingly.

Additionally, the ability to move freely anywhere on the pitch should also return, something that wasn’t introduced in FC 25, which means that you may need to spend more FC 26 Coins in this new game to get the running and speed stats of your starting lineup at their highest level.

2. Add Set Piece Creator

Set pieces are great scoring opportunities in both real-life matches and soccer simulations. But in FC 25, corner kicks were difficult to score from, as the only details available were vague options like who takes the ball and where certain players should be positioned.

Compared to FM 24, it gave players tactical freedom with free kicks and corner kicks, allowing you to customize them to your coaching style. So in future games, FUT 26 should make free kicks and corner kicks, which are sure-fire ways to score more detailed, so that you can freely control your team or players’ actions in these situations.

3. Emphasis On Hiring And Managing Coaching Teams

In FC 25, you could hire coaches in four departments: attack, midfield, defense, and goalkeeping, and this new version of the game is expected to be the same. While this adds a few more layers of management, it’s still a bit rudimentary compared to FM 24 it replaces.

Here, players can fully build and control a team of backstage players, including assistant managers, fitness coaches, medical staff, and youth development specialists. Therefore, expanding the coaching team that players can have in FC 26 is also a much-needed improvement feature.

With a professional team such as tactical analysts, physiotherapists and youth training coaches, you may get a more strategic and interesting game experience. In addition, the integration of coaching team statistics and reputation will make this game closer to the real-life football coaching management.

4. Innovation Youth Development

No matter what kind of football management game, witnessing local players stand out in the youth training system and finally enter the first team is one of the most exciting moments. Among them, Football Manager series of games is best at restoring the youth training system in the real field, while accurately reflecting the differences in youth training facilities of different clubs.

This makes the youth training system in each game launched by EA Sports seem very stereotyped and lacking in coherence. According to a player who plays both games at the same time, if EA wants to perform better in this aspect, it should optimize the player growth mechanism and introduce more detailed youth player reports to make it unique.

In addition, it is also a very good suggestion to introduce football players under the age of 21 into the game, which can give those talented teenagers with great potential in a stage to show themselves, and players will have more choices of players in some positions.

The above are some opinions from the current player community and social media on Career mode in FC 26, which is expected to be released on September 26, as well as some features that developers want to pay attention to. Although the cancellation of Football Manager 25 will be a pity for many football fans, you can fully expect what kind of surprises FC 26 will bring you when it is released in the second half of the year. I wish you a happy game!
