Artificial Intelligence (AI) improvements have been implemented by the developers via the EA Sports FC 26 update 1.000.009 patch released today on all platforms.

Alongside the improvements, we’ve also listed the known issues that remain unresolved on consoles and PC.

Read on for the complete patch notes straight from EA.

EA Sports FC 26 Update 1.000.009 Applies AI Improvements

EA Sports FC 26 Update 1.07

Per EA, “EA SPORTS FC 26 v1.1.3 will soon be available. Driven by your Career Mode feedback, we’re updating CPU AI decision making with the intent of making it challenging and engaging to play against, especially on higher difficulties.”

The CPU AI will now aim to:

  • Look for passes more often and make quicker decisions about them.

  • Dribble more effectively with sharper turns, less straightforward movement, and less dwelling on the ball.

  • Switch players on defense more often in situations where trailing the runner is not beneficial.

These CPU AI decision making updates apply to both Competitive and Authentic Gameplay. As a reminder, the term CPU AI here is referring to the virtual user controlling the team you’re playing against in offline matches.

Aside from the changes made, here are a list of items being looked into by the developers:

Investigating

  • [UT] [Visual Issue] A visual issue occurs when viewing Rivals Weekly Rewards.
  • [PC] Controller stops registering input during gameplay.
  • [Matchmaking] Online matches can experience unexpectedly high ping.
  • [PC] Graphic settings reset when entering Game Settings or changing settings tabs.
  • [Clubs] Reward notifications are displayed on all Objectives tabs.
  • [Clubs] An incorrect Golden Goal message could appear at the end of a Live Event match.
  • [Kick Off] CPU slider changes may not save after switching AI behavio
  • [UT] The Home dropdown menu may become inaccessible.
  • [Player Career] Tattoos added during avatar customisation may not be saved.
  • [UT] Squad Assignments are not saved when entering a match.
  • [Gameplay] Stadium shadows might be present even when the corresponding setting is off.
  • [UT] [Visual Issue Only] Confetti cannons and trophies can appear on the pitch.
  • [Clubs] Players may receive Connection to Lobby Lost error when searching for a League Match

Once another update is out, expect it here on MP1st.

Dear FC team,

We facing a critical issues, when we change the squad, formation, and assignment it return to original squad, formation, and assignment when we go to play through career mode! In FC 25 and 26! While in FC24 it was fine!

In addition, when I create a new player the player’s age start on 20 years not 18 (player born on 2005)!

We deserve your attention to these points to play the game!

The restoring Graphic settings is a must to fix in the upcoming days. For someone playing this game compettetive some settings changing means winning or loosing, and the settings change randomly at any point really, first half of the game can be ok, then second the Graphic settings change to whatever they want, sometimes to default, sometimes to Low and sometimes to ULTRA. This game is only playable when CPU and GPU usage is as close as possible so reseting settings to whatever does not allow that to happen. This is for me a game changing fact so also a ground for compensation as the game 1,5 months after release still does not work stable!
