Mbappe, Lewis Hamilton, Bad Bunny… That's an expensive trailer, that's for sure…

If they want to show more realism, they should have shown more gameplay depicting Chelsea dismantling PSG in front of the entire world.

NBA 2K should do the same, good trailer indeed.
Did we watch the same thing?

Players still animate like string puppets with crazy legs.

Cannot wait to put between 1k-5k into microtransactions to have my dream team for 1 year. After this trailer, clearly telling us that they've heard our criticism, i am so incredibly pumped. This is why i love EA. They listen to their fans.

The game looks exactly the same graphically, so they're putting all their marketing into claiming they're actually making it fun to play.
Let's see how it goes. Haven't bought one in ages, the free 10 hour trial on Game Pass is usually enough to put me off for the year.

Next year when it's 80% off, I'll buy it. That's what I did with FC 25, since I only get it to play with friends, I don't really care about buying it at launch. Especially when the difference between FC 25 and 26 will be minimal.

Surprisingly I liked it. If they end up implementing everything shows as accurate as that, I might go back in. FC25 was utter shite

The same garbage for a decade. There's not even a shred of effort to create a football game that conveys the sensations of the sport it aims to imitate... It's a disgrace.
I still occasionally put on FIFA 14 and wonder when EA thought nothing was working and needed to transform the gameplay into a game of rebounds, impossible dribbles, and always the same scoring play...
Sports games are my biggest disappointment for a decade...

Starting the trailer with the exact same match introduction commentary they have had in the past 4 games is just ridiculous tbh, it's like they don't even care any more

Yep. That's usually the best window for pickup. Usually drops to nearly 50% off, and not too late to get into it with your friends.

Lol every year, promises of revolutionised gameplay, if you believe it, more on you.
It will be the same skaty, no physics clipping mess of a game.

They do this shit every year. Madden and FIFA have these fake new feature trailers every year.

He's right though. It's a messy, frantic trailer.

The engine is really showing its age.

Great trailer, and I don't have any real interest in football or the game.

They used to, after a couple of iterations, switch to a new engine for the generation.
FIFA 98 on PS1
FIFA 2003 on PS2
FIFA 07 on 360

They always make terrible trailers, on this one at least they're pretending to care or something...
17 was the last great Fifa and 25 was the worst.
Well, I will play it on gamepass and ps plus next year. To all the brave souls that will pre order this game: I hope they can have fun with it.

I think football games desperately need a new franchise, someone new to come with a fresh take on how football translates into a videogame. This shit is embarrassing to watch, the tone is so juvenile it makes me cringe. The game has barely evolved in 25 years, there's nothing amazing about it, not the animations, not the stadiums or the crowd, ball physics don't look anywhere close to real, not even the players themselves, of which the assets are decent but they look like lifeless puppets. The problem is football is too popular, people want their football game and sadly this is your only and default choice these days, EA gets the money and nothing changes.

Are the trailers not promising each and every year some revolutionary features, just without the "we heard you"? But people seem to dislike it every year more and lamenting the too few actual changes?
And eFootball or Rematch are no alternative because of licenses and lemming attitude?
Not my problem, bought PES around 20 years ago and did not care much for sports games since, just played this and that what was in PS Plus.

Stopped after fifa 17 here, nowadays those games are too disgusting, who tf would wanna play as women btw, they play worse from under 15 schoolboys teams, so fk that shit.
USWNT legend Carli Lloyd admits team lost to ‘bunch’ of 15-year-old boys before World Cup run
“They should beat us. Bigger, stronger, faster! Boys always gave us a run for our money! It was great prep,” Lloyd wrote in response.

When women national team considers boys u-15 team as good, then u know women's football at highest lvl is extremly terrible even compared to semi-amatour league of men's football.
I mean men can play terribly too, i know that as a polish guy, but there are limits of being a clown and getting money for it if u are professional player...

I normally get hundreds of hours of fun when buying these games day 1.
Nothing is changing this year. Loving the look of some of the updates this year. Can't wait!

I agree, EA need competition
LMAO. Are you serious?
I've been playing FIFA every year since FIFA 97. To say it has barely evolved in 25 years is complete hogwash.
Go and compare last years game to FIFA 2000 on the PS1 and tell me how the game has barely evolved.

I thought FC25 was great and bought it on PS5 and PC, so obviously I didn't get the memo!
Exactly, maybe I'm getting old or something, but I just don't get what's appealing about these frantic trailers with endless cuts.

I've played them on and off since the original in '93. As early as the late 90s, the issue with certain outcomes feeling scripted or predetermined was already present, and that's something that never went away. Poor marking, tic-tac passing, and inexplicable AI defense has been a fixture of that game for as long as I can remember.
They've added new moves, new options, new stadiums, new sounds, and certainly the graphics have improved, but, no, the game hasn't made any meaningful strides in realism on the pitch, well, ever. And whatever innovation there might have been has completely halted since FUT exploded. It will now only ever be tailored to that mode. Everything else will be an afterthought.

Women really are only a thing in Ultimate Team, if you don't play that you don't see women in the game at all unless you purposefully go out to play with them.
I don't like the sport being mixed in FUT but i've made my peace with it, we have dead and retired players in that mode too. lol.

There are some out/coming out.
UFL - out
Goals - in development
whatever PES is doing
The problem is they don't have licensing so they focus on an ultimate team type of experience as they are only able to secure player likeness.

Dead/retired players were at least that good at some point in time, female players cant break tru u-15 boys treshhold at any given time, and i say it as a 0 talent for football/soccer guy(altho i had and have tons of love for the sport, trained almost every day up to 8hours in my teenage years, played with and against much more talented guys who could do twice as much with half the effort), u can clearly see those female players spend less time training total as adults compared to teenage boys, thats why their technique/ball controll/shooting/passing/dribble abilities are so terrible, its not just male vs female physique which are colorado canion of a gap apart, its everything else on top of that too
Here recent female wimbledon winner for contrast:
U can see talent/skill/tens of thousands of hours yearly spend on training here, no avg or even above avg male amatour tennis player could even get close to that, she will demolish such a guy w/o needing to run on the cort, with skill/accuracy alone.
