EA SPORTS FC™ 26 Review Summary

Anti-Cheat Crash

Game Won't Launch

Severe FPS Drop

Severe Input Lag

FPS Drop After Halftime

Linux Not Supported

Controller Bug

Game crashes on anti-cheat start, unplayable. References widespread issue ('thousands of people'). Frustrated that they wanted to play football but couldn't. Explicit refund not stated but implied ('nice, I played the game of finding a solution...'). Very high risk because core functionality (launching the game) fails. Category TECHNICAL. Helpful due to specific crash point and community comparison. No protest, no safety. Use tag: Anti-Cheat Crash.

FPS drops to 5-10 after halftime despite exceeding minimum specs. Annoying but no explicit refund mentioned. Risk score slightly lower because user says 'annoying' rather than unplayable, but still a significant issue that would push toward refund. Helpful due to specific timing (after halftime) and system context. Category TECHNICAL. Use tag: FPS Drop After Halftime.

Immediate severe fps drop on game start. Refers to forum link with many others. Explicit warning to reconsider purchase for low-end systems. High risk because performance is unplayable from start. Helpful with link and specifics. No refund stated but strongly implies. Category TECHNICAL. Use tag: FPS Drop On Game Start.

Crash on anticheat splash screens, cannot start game. Tried for hours, requested refund. Very high risk, unplayable. Helpful with exact crash point. Category TECHNICAL. Use tag: Crash On Anticheat Splash.

Bug in FUT team editing triggers server error. Online content works except this. Contacted EA no response, bug persists, refunded. High risk due to refund. Helpful with specific steps. Category TECHNICAL. Use tag: FUT Team Edit Bug.

Poor AI Behavior

Terrible UI Navigation

Missing teams/players in World Cup mode, misrepresentation of content. Refund requested explicitly. Calls game a joke and shame on EA. Strong negative emotional language ('joke', 'shame'). Very likely churn driver is specific missing features (incomplete World Cup). Quote shows direct evidence of feature not meeting expectations. User bought specifically for this mode and immediately requested refund — this is a cut-and-dry refund scenario tied to design/content incompleteness, not technical performance. Risk score high because user explicitly refunded and warns others. Sentiment very negative, but not a protest (no external politics). Helpful because it gives detailed specifics on what is missing. No safety concerns. Good candidate for design category with high risk. Recommended tag: Incomplete World Cup Mode.

Horrible UI/UX navigation, especially in manager mode. Lots of menus, no clear direction. Refunded explicitly. Considers game 'garbage' and 'EA slop'. High risk because refund executed. Helpful due to specific criticism of UI and mode. No technical issues. Category DESIGN. Use tag: Terrible UI Navigation.

Remote Play Together feature removed in new version. Also mentions need for VPN, server instability, battle pass addition. Very angry and explicit refund advice. Primary driver is removal of a specific feature (Remote Play). High risk due to refund request. Helpful with detailed reasoning. Category DESIGN (feature removal/design change). Use tag: Remote Play Removed.
