Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 23, 2026)

Some fans now call it the last good entry in the yearly football series, and across 176 analyzed reviews it scores 74.0.

👍 Strengths

86 reviews say it is fun, and some rank it as their favorite season of the series, with a few recalling hundreds of hours in offline modes. 8 enjoy playing together, mentioning local matches with friends or a brother and club modes with a regular group. 6 like the controls and feel, citing crisp passing, good finishing and an easy menu flow. Gameplay ranks 818th of 1396.

👎 Where it falls short

11 reviews criticize the balance, saying defenders react slowly, goalkeepers behave unpredictably and a few star players feel overpowered. 9 find it repetitive, saying little changes from one yearly release to the next and some old movement issues remain. 9 complain about pricing, and some point to pay to win pressure in the card collecting mode or say it is only worth buying on sale. Pricing & Fairness ranks 1068th of 1399, Content Volume ranks 1170th of 1351, and Tech & Support ranks 998th of 1399, where some players report servers no longer working.
