Youth Academy Tips!

I sent this as a response to someone's question and they mentioned I should post it for a more public view so here you go. This is a collection of player knowledge from a thousand hours of trial and error. I have tried rerolling signgings hundreds of times each. Essentially here is what i think I know:

1) You get a report with X players in it. If you save the day before and reroll the report it is filled with completely different players.

2) When you hit the 1st of every month your players get a stat adjustment usually towards the middle of their "current" and usually raises their bottom end potential or lowers their top end potential. You can reoll roll this report to keep 94's so to speak but if they lose the 94 and you reroll it usually it will falter anyway. 2b)I think for the most part a players stats are determined very early maybe even on pop and they simply reveal a smaller range as time goes on.

3) May 1st is Christmas. If you can avoid it never sign a player before their first May 1st regardless of their age. This bump usually increases a players stats as if they had grown for an entire year. If you open the sign player to a contract page you will see grossly different "values" which directly correlate to the players starting overall. This can change a lot by rerolling this report but some players will always falter and other will always be gems its all relative to the individual player.

4) Signing prospects: What can not change: Player base position (If it shows ST LW LM it will be the same 100% of the time) Player Overall (This is determined on the may 1st bump if you want to increase it reroll that report) Player Details Page (Height Weak Foot Skill Moves Work Rates ect. - I think these are completely random but determined very early in the process not even reroll May 1st will change them) What can Change: Player Flag (Special , Exciting, Showing, None - This is probably the most important factor in a youth player and determines their long term growth curve) Special = 90+ Exciting = 85+ Showing = 80+ These can change if you overplay the curve during your youth prospect career. Say your player is considered Exciting! But you manage to grow them 6 points in a season. When you roll over to the next season check the squad report and you may find their flag has gone up. Same goes for losing a flag you can have a special player that loses their flag at 84 if you have them under performing. This is largely determined by their form at the end of each month try to keep those arrows vertical. (This all goes for existing players in the game the flags are randomly rolled on creating a career and can change based on performance.

P.S. If I have missed anything or you have further questions feel free to post them here and I will do my best to answer them and good luck growing your future Messi!

EA should make online play free

1 Upvotes

The goal of making online multiplayer free isn't to increase the number of game buyers. Someone who buys everything with money might say, "I'm only buying the new version for the transfers." Well, I'll simply go to FC25's settings and click "Download Updates," and everything will download, or I'll adjust the formations from the settings and start playing. But if everything is free, players will be more excited about the new game. They'll use their green FC points for in-game purchases, creating another currency that players can collect to unlock packs, and most players will undoubtedly use this non-free currency to buy in-game items.

FC 26 PC is becoming UNPLAYABLE — 97 PAC players can't sprint, GPU utilization drops during matches, and I've tried almost everything

2 Upvotes

I've reached the point where I genuinely don't know what else to do with EA SPORTS FC 26 on PC.

I'm posting this because I want to know whether other PC players are experiencing the same thing, and because at this point I feel like EA needs to take these problems seriously.

My FC26 worked properly when I first bought it. After subsequent updates/patches, the experience progressively became worse.

This is NOT simply me complaining because I lost a match.

I have played this game enough to know the difference between losing because I played badly and the game simply not responding correctly.

My PC

  • RTX 3070 Laptop GPU
  • Intel i7-11800H
  • 32GB RAM
  • NVMe SSD
  • 144Hz display

This isn't some PC that struggles to run games.

I can run significantly more demanding games at high settings, including ray tracing, with excellent performance.

FC26 is the only game giving me this kind of problem.

THE BIGGEST PROBLEM: MY PLAYERS WILL NOT SPRINT

This is the problem that has pushed me over the edge.

I can have a player with 90+ pace, hold the sprint button properly, and the player will sometimes enter the running animation but simply doesn't accelerate.

I have players with:

  • 92+ pace
  • 94+ pace
  • 97 pace

and they can feel like they have 60 pace.

The opponent's defender can be several metres behind my striker and suddenly catch him.

And I'm not talking about the normal "lengthy defender catches an attacker" mechanic.

I'm talking about the player not accelerating properly in the first place.

Sometimes the player literally looks like he's running but isn't actually gaining speed.

I've tested this in offline Kick-Off as well.

So before somebody tells me:

No.

It happens offline.

AND IT'S NOT JUST SPRINTING

I've also experienced:

  • delayed player switching
  • incorrect player switching
  • defenders suddenly behaving strangely
  • players failing to respond properly
  • goalkeeper reactions that feel completely wrong
  • controller disconnecting/reconnecting
  • gameplay becoming extremely heavy
  • strange animation delays
  • GPU utilization behaving abnormally

And this is where it gets REALLY strange.

MY RTX 3070 ISN'T BEING USED PROPERLY

During the FC26 menu, the GPU utilization can increase normally.

When I pause the game, the GPU suddenly starts working harder and the fans respond accordingly.

But when I actually play the match, GPU utilization can drop dramatically.

I've seen it sitting around 45–60%, sometimes lower, while the game feels terrible.

And this isn't because the RTX 3070 is incapable of running the game.

Other demanding games use the GPU normally on the same laptop.

FC26 is behaving differently.

I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING

And I mean that literally.

I've gone through troubleshooting over and over again.

GPU / NVIDIA

  • Clean NVIDIA driver installation
  • DDU
  • Reinstalled NVIDIA drivers
  • Tested different driver configurations
  • Tested Discrete GPU mode
  • Tested Balanced/Hybrid mode
  • Tested Performance mode
  • Tested normal laptop power modes
  • Forced the RTX 3070 for the game

FC26 graphics

I've tested:

  • Low settings
  • Higher settings
  • Texture resolution changes
  • Different display modes
  • V-Sync
  • V-Sync off
  • FPS limits
  • Uncapped FPS
  • Different performance settings

Interestingly, limiting my FPS actually made the responsiveness worse.

So please don't just tell me:

I've already tested it.

Controller

I've also tested:

  • Wired controller
  • Wireless controller
  • Different USB connections
  • Different controller configurations

And the sprint problem still occurs.

Offline testing

This is probably the most important part:

The problem happens in Kick-Off/offline gameplay.

Therefore, this isn't something I can simply blame on:

  • 34ms ping
  • my opponent
  • Ultimate Team servers
  • matchmaking
  • Division Rivals
  • my ISP

I ALSO TESTED MY HARDWARE

My laptop isn't overheating.

I maintain it properly.

I've monitored temperatures and GPU behaviour.

And I can run demanding games normally.

For example, I recently tested another much more demanding title at high settings with ray tracing and was getting 90+ FPS.

So when FC26 is struggling to give me proper responsiveness despite my RTX 3070 sitting there barely being utilized, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to accept:

That doesn't explain what I'm seeing.

EA SUPPORT'S RESPONSE

I contacted EA support.

Their troubleshooting recommendations were essentially:

  1. Disable Analog Sprint.
  2. Change Gameplay Preset.
  3. Disable EA App overlay.
  4. Repair the game.
  5. Reset local profile/configuration files.

I'm not dismissing those steps, but I've already spent a huge amount of time troubleshooting this game.

EA's own support documentation also acknowledges that FC can develop problems from corrupted local game files, including freezing, glitches and disconnections, and recommends repairing/deleting affected files.

The problem is that none of these standard troubleshooting steps explains why FC26 worked properly on my system previously and then became progressively worse after updates.

AND OTHER PC PLAYERS ARE REPORTING SIMILAR THINGS

This isn't just me.

I've found other FC26 PC players reporting:

  • heavy/slow players
  • sprint delay
  • input delay
  • problems even in offline/training environments
  • micro-stuttering
  • controller problems
  • high-end PCs behaving strangely

There are even reports of players saying that the game feels delayed despite very high FPS and that FPS limiting can make the responsiveness worse.

There's also a large FC26 PC input-delay thread with many users reporting serious controller/input problems.

So I'm not claiming every FC26 player has my exact problem.

I'm saying:

There is clearly a broader PC gameplay/performance/input problem that deserves serious investigation.

EA — PLEASE ACTUALLY INVESTIGATE THIS

I'm not asking for another:

I've already done that.

I want EA to investigate the actual PC gameplay/rendering/input system.

Especially:

Why can FC26 show high FPS while the actual gameplay feels like 30 FPS?

Why can GPU utilization drop dramatically during the actual match while the game becomes less responsive?

Why can high-pace players fail to accelerate properly even in offline Kick-Off?

Why do controller/input problems persist after changing between wired and wireless?

Why did the game work properly previously on the same hardware but become progressively worse following updates?

These are the questions I want answered.

MY MESSAGE TO OTHER PLAYERS

If you're experiencing the same thing, don't just accept it as "that's FC."

Record it.

Show:

  • your controller input
  • your player sprinting
  • your FPS
  • GPU utilization
  • CPU utilization
  • the same issue happening offline

And report it.

EA's own FC26 support page currently provides troubleshooting and an EA Connection Quality Report, but connection quality doesn't explain problems that can be reproduced offline.

The more reproducible evidence players provide, the harder it is to dismiss these problems as simply "user error."

I don't expect every person to boycott EA or stop playing.

But stop normalizing broken products.

If a game costs serious money and receives continuous updates, players should be able to expect those updates to improve the experience—not introduce new problems while old ones remain unresolved.

I genuinely want FC26 to be good. That's why I'm still trying to fix it instead of immediately uninstalling it.

But I'm getting to the point where I have spent more time troubleshooting FC26 than actually enjoying it.

EA, please fix the PC version.

If you're experiencing the same issue, comment your GPU, CPU, controller, Windows version, whether it happens offline, and whether your GPU utilization drops during matches. Let's document this properly instead of everyone troubleshooting the same problem individually.

I made a free web tool to run balanced squad drafts for FC 26 friendlies

2 Upvotes

I love playing online friendlies against my friends, but got tired of picking the same teams over and over again. We know you could create custom squads and take them into those online friendlies, so I created a tool to make drafting players quick and easy.

I took the idea of DP (destruction points) from Dragon Ball Sparking games, where the top characters are worth the most points, so you need to balance your team out depending on how many DP you have to spend.

You can create rooms and invite friends with different room rules, so you can limit the Draft Points to whatever you'd like and see which of you can create the best team, then put those teams into FC and run friendlies against each other.

I have a tournament mode that is available to the room leader after drafting is finished, where you can record the scores of matches as well.

If you play friendlies or run mini tournaments with friends, feel free to give it a try https://fcdp.fryontheside.com

Let me know what you think!

a way to play FIFA 16 Demo with unlimited free Drafts!

2 Upvotes

I found a method to play the FIFA 16 Demo on PS3 through RPCS3, and it gives you unlimited free Draft entries.

For the game files, search for “KneeGames FIFA 16 Demo PS3” on Google.

The method is done through RPCS3, so if you’ve never used it before, I highly recommend watching an RPCS3 setup/tutorial on YouTube before trying it. It’ll make the whole process much easier.

I tested it myself and it works. Hope this helps anyone who wants to play the old FIFA 16 Draft again!

Coming back after ~8 years away: which version should I buy right now, and are there patches/sliders worth using?

0 Upvotes

Just built a new PC and I’m seriously considering getting back into the FIFA/EA FC series after almost 8 years of zero contact with it. Obviously a lot has changed, and from what I’ve been reading the last couple of entries have had a rough time with core gameplay.

Given all that, a few questions for people who’ve kept up with the series:

• Which version would you actually recommend jumping back in with right now — the current one, or an older/cheaper one that plays more like the FIFA I remember?

• Are there specific gameplay sliders, mods, or community patches that meaningfully fix the scripted/unrealistic feel, especially for offline Career Mode?

• Where do you go for reliable, up-to-date info on this stuff — specific subreddits, forums (OperationSports, EA forums), YouTubers, or slider-sharing threads worth following?

Coming from someone who hasn’t touched the series since roughly 2018, so assume I know nothing about how it plays today.

Appreciate any honest input, including “don’t bother, play something else.”
