We suppose you could say EA Sports FC 26 is a game of two halves. The pace of the game is much faster in Competitive, and players are much nimbler and more capable of superhuman feats. It goes without saying that the usual gacha and loot box aspects return in Ultimate Team, and you’ll already know exactly how you feel about that. Speaking of Ultimate Team, a big new feature this year is Live Events, which is designed to make you think more about the squads you use. Outside of these headline changes, there’s a lot of minutiae which moves EA Sports FC 26 forward in several areas, but will perhaps best appeal to stalwarts who’ve played the previous game to death.
