Have you tried EA FC 26's offline Career Mode? Were you annoyed by AI's bizarre actions? If so, then FC 26 Patch 1.1.3 update will make you happy.

This update primarily optimizes the behavior of AI opponents. FIFA 26 aims to create a more natural and realistic offline match mode. Let's take a closer look at the contents of v1.1.3.

AI Opponent Optimization

If you've played FC 26's AI mode before, you've probably felt the same way. AI ​​opponents' movements are very rigid; after a few rounds, you can completely predict their next move. AI ​​mode offers no opportunity to hone your skills.

Due to widespread player dissatisfaction with this issue, the game developers have decided to optimize AI ​​opponent behavior. Patch 1.1.3 improves the passing, dribbling, and defensive actions of AI opponents. It enhances their passing reaction speed and dribbling turn speed, increasing defensive initiative.

These changes will apply to AI opponents in all modes. This means that whether you choose Authentic or Competitive game modes, you'll need to be appropriately vigilant against more agile and unpredictable AI opponents.

This is also good news for players who enjoy honing their skills. You can choose to quickly improve your skills by playing against AI before participating in real-time matches to earn more FC 26 Coins.

Controlled Sprint Dribbling Revert

A recent Live Tuning incident resulted in a nerf to Controlled Sprint Dribbling, specifically a reduction in dribbling speed. This reduction had a significant negative impact, even making Competitive mode difficult, leading to considerable player dissatisfaction.

FC 26 has officially responded, stating that the speed of Controlled Sprint Dribbling will be reverted promptly. A notification will be released in-game immediately after the adjustment, and players only need to log back in to revert.

Future Outlook

You may have noticed that recent FC 26 updates have focused on improving the player experience, such as the new target tracking optimization in v1.1.0, game stability fixes in v1.1.1, and disconnection issues in v1.1.2.

EA Sports seems to prefer addressing player feedback through small patch updates. They've also stated they'll continue to monitor player feedback. Therefore, we can speculate that FC 26 will continue to be adjusted and improved for a smoother gaming experience.

EA FC 26's proactive approach to problem-solving is truly commendable. This recent adjustment to AI opponents was based on player feedback, clearly identifying player needs before making detailed adjustments.

This is a great sign, indicating that our suggestions are being taken seriously. Once the new AI opponents are released, you can try them out yourself and see if there are any areas for further optimization. We can definitely expect EA Sports FC 26 to become even better!
