The best trailer in recent years

EA Sports revealed their highly anticipated EA FC 26 official trailer and it made the football fans and gamers really excited for the game.

A cinematic trailer? Absolutely NOT! They went all out and dropped a gameplay trailer with all the improvements they are making based on players’ feedback and comments.

This move was well made and it really hyped the fans for the game. It’s been years since I have watched such a good trailer for FIFA. Let’s find out more details in this article.

EA FC 26 official trailer breakdown

Unlike past EA FC game trailer, which only focuses on cinematics and making the game look good, the EA FC 26 official trailer delivers straight gameplay for the fans.

This is also what most of the fans and gamers want to see instead of cinematic sh*t. There are so many improvements that EA has made in this game.

These are all based on EA FC 25 players’ feedback and EA Sports is really paying attention to the actual gameplay.

EA has added Competitive and Authentic gameplay modes, allowing you to customize your experience, whether you prefer high-intensity battles or realistic flow.

Key gameplay enhancements

The first thing shown in the gameplay is the improvements made in the tackling system. There won’t be many bounce-back, instead, we will get clean tackles, control interceptions and consistent outcomes.

Better agility and faster reaction for the players, while turning in any direction. Everyone likes faster gameplay and speed. You can also see more pace from the players. They can even push their limits if they are tired.

It’s pretty safe to say that dribbling has seen a major improvement in EA FC 26. Dynamic, fluid and responsive dribbles can be seen in the trailer. This already made me excited to go play some FIFA right now!

It really feels like players are mirroring the real-life footballers with their skills and dribble moves.

In EA FC 25, every goal used to feel the same, but things are going to change in EA FC 26. Goalkeepers, a long-standing fan complaint, have been updated with enhanced animations and responses that now mirror real-life saves.

Their positioning and AI are now more smarter and will create some challenges for the players to get more creative.

Improvements in the passing can also be seen and the Tiki Taka style now looks more fluid. The addition of the trickster rainbow and revamped Elastico only adds more flair to your playstyle.

Other changes include improved shielding, lower driving strokes, and increased on-ball roughness, giving matches a more realistic feel. The trailer also previews new player roles and the introduction of archetypes, which promise greater customisation.

EA Sports is also enhancing the manager mode in EA FC 26. New challenges will be added in both the manager’s and player’s careers.

Conclusion

EA Sports have also teased more feature reveals in the upcoming week for EA FC 26. This gameplay official trailer has really ignited my love for FIFA games once again.

I really didn’t like EA FC 25 and maybe this was the first time when I didn’t purchase this game on my console. However, EA FC 26 now seems more like a day one purchase for me.
