Everything you need to know about EA Sports FC 26

Experience the biggest football tournament now in EA Sports FC 26. With a brand-new update, the game introduces the World Cup in a completely new style, featuring a new name, a different match ball, additional stadiums, and a brand-new trophy, among other things. Despite having to work without the official licensing rights for the competition, EA Sports has managed to retain the recognisable atmosphere and look of the series. The update also significantly expands the number of national teams. Previously, you could only choose from 29 playable countries; now there are more than 50. Brazil, the five-time world champion, also returns to the game with stars like Neymar. Additionally, you can play the officially licensed team of the Netherlands. Player details have been updated, and facial animations are now even more realistic. You can take on the field yourself with your favourite country or try to conquer the world title as a coach.

It’s not just the design that has been updated; improvements have also been made in terms of gameplay. Here’s how the collective pressing system works better: opponents are less likely to all pounce on you when you have the ball, making matches feel more realistic. When you outplay the opponent smartly, you can see more clearly how the opposing team's structure falls apart. The confrontations between physically strong defenders and agile dribblers have also been rendered more accurately. Whether you play alone or online against others, with this update you’ll enjoy a major digital football tournament.
