EA Sports FC 26 Brings A New Season To Switch 2 This September

Personally, I'm not interested in this kind of game, but I hope EA Sports fans enjoy another expensive same old same old! 😝

If there is one area Switch can beat Steam Deck it’ll be games like this. In Steam Deck you need internet to boot the game, same for games like Battlefront 2 even if playing single player.

So being able to play this, Madden etc portable on things like planes without needing internet will be great. I am worried Switch 2 games by EA will force the ‘Always Connected’ aspect on us

Can we please just get NHL and CFB?? Chel doesn't look to demanding, and CFB has always been better than madden. Plus I live in an area of the us that has no there sport but college foosball

Soccer is the one sport I dislike. At least, we are getting Madden and NBA games soon.

I’m still playing fifa 22 every now and then… haven’t seen a reason to upgrade…

OG Switch version it is then

@BaldB3lper78 I'm willing to bet that the average Joe doesn't care about the game being on a game key card. They'll buy this just like they buy their latest football game every year for years on end.

@Sambuc the only sport you dislike? So you're well into polo, croquet, synchronised swimming, cross country skiing, curling, taekwondo, snooker, darts, cricket, kabaddi, pursuit cycling, horse racing, F1, crown Green bowling etc etc???

Must take some effort to stay across all that. I respect the effort.

Just to check, we're definitely not just thinking of the two biggest American sports as being ALL sports are we? No? Cool 👍

Without really big technological leaps, it'd hard to get excited about these anymore. I'm playing FC24 a bit now and then, and its a good game, but I got it once it was heavily discounted, FC25 is heavily discounted now, and I'll probably get this on switch 2 when I get one, but probably when the next one after this is here or arriving soon and this one is heavily discounted.

is it sold digitally only or will we also have the physical card version ?

Very interested in seeing how close this is to the current gen versions. If it’s not a clear downgrade then I’d probably pick it up soon after launch.

They haven't revealed the most important information: whether the Switch 2 will have cross-play with other consoles. That would be a step forward; right now, FUT on Switch is very limited.

Switch 2 version is a key card, Switch 1 version requires a download. Neither have the game on cartridge.

Personally, I dont like the US exclusive cover which is the exact same but the current president is standing in the way

Hopefully it'll get some World Cup update next year and by that point be heavily discounted, then I'll pick it up.

As a portal owner I can report that streaming fork ps5 with a paltry 15mbps upload speed from the uk to western Europe still offered better graphics and performance than the last switch native version.

I wonder if the switch 2 version will equalise that, but am highly skeptical it will. Obvious local is better for some situations and I’d prefer to have it on switch 2, but that component matters very little to me when I can use mobile data and still get better gameplay and when I play at home most of the time, though screen free.

@PapaMurphy To be fair, they said football's the only sport they dislike. They may not be into the other sports you listed, but don't necessarily dislike them 😉

@electrolite77
People who don't have fast internet, or much space on their Switch 2 most definitely care. They buy a physical game so that they don't have to download the game slowly, onto already filled to bursting internal storage.
GKC benefit no one but the publisher, to the consumer they are the worst of both worlds, require a download like a digital game, but must have the card in the system to play it unlike a digital game, all downsides, no upsides.

@AshleyGamer64 you are technically correct.

The best kind of correct!
😄👍

@BaldB3lper78 While there may be truth to that on some games, this is over 64 GB so it wasn't going to fit anyway. Switch 1 version will likely be a 1 GB card, dling the rest. So, what's the difference?

@rvcolem1 indeed. Would love a portable hockey game

@PapaMurphy I had never heard of kabaddi before now, and now I am in danger of becoming obsessed...

@antonvaltaz haha it'll get you like that 😄
