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 fixed cases where the Bruiser+ icon appeared when it wasn’t impacting the play. For the full Feedback Update and detailed breakdown, join the official EA SPORTS FC Discord where you can also submit your feedback:

AI Defending As we mentioned at the end of November, we’re continuing to run our own investigations and tests while reviewing all of your feedback. In the next update, AI defenders will have slower reaction times when marking the ball carrier, which can result in them leaving more space open while transitioning between actions.
