Hey Steam Community!
We've updated match outcomes in FC 26 so that you can get a win sooner if the opponent Quits/Disconnects On A Draw during Live Events, Rivals, and Champions matches. One of these conditions must apply in order for a win to be awarded:
\ 10 minutes (in-game time) has passed. This was previously 20 minutes.
The quitting/disconnecting player concedes a penalty kick.
The quitting/disconnecting player has received a red card
A player can only receive a win from this 3 times a day, with the limit resetting at 00:00 UTC daily.
Let us know in the comments your thoughts on the above changes! And be sure to join the Official EA SPORTS FC Discord for any further feedback or discussions about the game!

In our latest Feedback Update, we’re addressing the Bruiser Playstyle following ongoing community discussion.
We’ve been closely monitoring how Playstyles are performing and testing changes between attributes and Playstyles. As a result, in an upcoming update, we’ve slightly reduced the boost from Bruiser and Bruiser+ in shoulder challenge situations and added a matching boost for dribblers with Enforcer or Enforcer+, creating a more even, head-to-head interaction
We’ve also improved how players react after contact, so stronger tacklers can still knock weaker players off balance, but weaker tacklers will no longer overpower stronger dribblers in unrealistic ways. Detection of challenges from behind has been refined, with the system predicting player movement ahead and cancelling challenges that would result in back contact. Additionally, we’ve addressed cases where the Bruiser+ icon appeared when it wasn’t impacting the play.
