CDMs became overpowered once again while dribbling; especially controlled sprint dribbling was adversely affected. Naturally, this attracted a barrage of criticism from players and popular content creators, and the devs are finally walking back the change via a brand-new FC 26 tuning update.

FC 26 Live Tuning Update Fixes Controlled Sprint Dribbling

As shared on the offical ‘EA FC Direction Communication’ X account, a Live Tuning Update has restored controlled sprint dribbling to nearly the same speed as before the most recent EA FC 26 patch. This should mean that maneuvering the ball using R1/RB feels much tighter, allowing players to make split-second directional switches to catch defenders by surprise. Of course, the impact of this update can only be gauged after several hours of gameplay, but it’s encouraging to see EA being so responsive to feedback. Speaking of which, the devs recently took to the game’s official Discord channel to ask for feedback regarding Goalkeeper Movement. They hosted a poll featuring five options to understand how players feel about it, and unsurprisingly, “I strongly dislike it” emerged as the overwhelming winner. It’s unclear what changes this could lead to, but if GK Movement is getting binned once and for all, I will be there no matter what. With all that being said, what are your thoughts on the current state of EA FC 26? Let us know in the comments. Name Email ID
