FC 26 players are surely aware of the recently much-anticipated Thunderstruck Promo Launches event. As FC 26's first major promotional event of the season, it brings a range of premium player items to Ultimate Team mode, including current stars and legendary players.

These cards can be upgraded, meaning in-game upgrades will be determined by the performance of the associated club in real-world football matches.

In addition to these cards, this limited-time event also features Lightning Targets, Squad Building Challenges (SBC), and FC Points Shop card packs.

While this event presents a significant opportunity to strengthen your roster, prices remain high. A more cost-effective option is to buy discounted FC 26 Coins through IGGM and then buy Thunderstruck Promo Launches items in-game.

FC 26 1.2.1 Update Makes the Game More Stable

EA officially updated FC 26 to version 1.2.1 last week. This update didn't focus on adding new content, but rather on game stability, aiming to fix bugs and inconsistencies in all game modes. I was pleasantly surprised by this update; it shows EA is listening to player feedback and hopes they realize that game stability is a crucial criterion for judging a game's quality.

FUT Mode, Market, and Game Mode Changes

In addition to the 1.2.1 update and Thunderstruck Promo Launches, FUT mode has also received a major overhaul.

• Improved evolution system: FUT now supports repeatable Evolutions and goalkeeper-specific Evolutions for more flexibility.

• Cosmetic stacking: Enhanced visual effects allow players to maintain a unique look for their jerseys, badges, and styles even when rarity or badge effects change.

• New structure for matchmaking & competition: If a player quits during matchmaking, they will be penalized.

This FUT mode update makes the competitive mode more balanced, creating a fairer gaming environment for players.

These are the key points of recent FC 26 updates, but discussions on various forums show that players are not optimistic about these changes.

In summary, most players who are pessimistic are fed up with the frequent updates and real-time adjustments. The constant updates not only significantly reduce the player experience, but also leave major issues such as slow passing, unstable defense, and sluggish AI unresolved, leading to such negative reviews.

Of course, some players remain optimistic. They believe that the game's problems are being addressed, such as a smoother shooting mechanism. While many issues remain unresolved, they believe that with updates and patches, everything will improve.

In general, the game updates and player opinions indicate that the current situation of FC 26 is not optimistic, but it is not beyond saving. In my personal opinion, FC 26 is clearly in a transitional period. The next few weeks, as the season progresses, will likely determine whether this game can truly become a great title. Let's wait and see.

That concludes this article. Thank you for reading.
