FC 26 game settings allow you to fully customize your gaming experience according to your preferences and play style. Whether it’s adjusting video and audio options, refining gameplay rules, or exploring new features such as graphic modes and simulation settings, this guide covers everything you need to know about configuring the game to suit your needs.
FC 26 Game Settings Guide
To get started, navigate to the Settings tab from the main menu, then select Game Settings. Here, you will find a comprehensive list of options and parameters that influence your gameplay across all modes, providing you with full control over how the game looks, sounds, and behaves.
The FC 26 game settings are organized into ten distinct categories, which you can easily browse through by using the L2/R2 buttons on PlayStation controllers or the LT/RT triggers on Xbox controllers. Each category is designed to address different aspects of the game, from visual presentation to simulation realism, allowing you to tailor the experience precisely to your liking.
In the sections that follow, we will explore each of these categories in detail, explaining the available options and how they can impact your gameplay, so you can make informed choices and get the most out of Football Club 26.
Gameplay Settings
PRESET
The Competitive preset is always enabled in online competitive matches. The following settings are affected by the Competitive preset: auto shots, assisted headers, auto-flair pass, through-pass assistance, lobbed-through pass assistance, auto clearances, jockey, defending.
Default, Competitive.
AUTO SHOTS
Players will take automatic shots on goal in situations where the player has a short reaction time within the six-yard box.
On, Off.
ASSISTED HEADERS
Header Assistance for passes and shots facilitates a more casual gameplay experience. If disabled, headed shots are manual, and can potentially be more accurate for experienced players.
On, Off.
SHOT ASSISTANCE
Shot direction will be partially assisted, fully assisted or the direction you aim is the direction the shots travels.
Precision, Assisted, Manual.
AUTO FLAIR PASS
Players will automatically perform Flair Passes in the appropriate situations. If disabled, players will perform Flair Passes only when holding L2/LT.
On, Off.
THROUGH PASS ASSISTANCE
Through Pass direction and power are both partially or fully assisted, or the direction you aim is the direction the pass will travel.
Semi, Assisted, Manual.
LOBBED THROUGH PASS
Lobbed Through Pass direction and power are both partially or fully assisted, or the direction you aim is the direction the pass will travel.
Semi, Assisted, Manual.
GROUND PASS ASSISTANCE
Ground Pass direction and power are both partially or fully assisted, or the direction you aim is the direction the pass will travel.
Semi, Assisted, Manual.
CROSS ASSISTANCE
Cross direction and power are both partially or fully assisted, or the direction you aim is the direction the cross will travel.
Semi, Assisted, Manual.
LOB PASS ASSISTANCE
Lob Pass direction and power are both partially or fully assisted, or the direction you aim is the direction the pass will travel.
Semi, Assisted, Manual.
PASS RECEIVER LOCK
The pass receiver is locked as late as possible, is locked at the time when the kicking animation begins, or is locked as soon as the button is released or the power bar reaches full power.
Late, Animation Start, Power Up.
PRECISION PASS SENSITIVITY
Adjust the speed of Precision aim. At a high sensitivity, the aim will always match your Left Stick angle input, making it more responsive, yet more challenging, to aim precisely.
Normal, High.
AUTO CLEARANCES
Players automatically perform Clearances in the appropriate situations, when needed. If disabled, outfield players will only perform Clearances when the button is pressed.
On, Off.
CLEARANCE ASSISTANCE
When set to Classic, clearances direction and power are both fully assisted. When set to Directional, it considers your directional input. Power remains fully assisted, and the earliest possible contact point will be selected.
Classic, Directional.
JOCKEY
When set to Assisted, player speed will be adjusted automatically, to help the player remain in close proximity to opponents. When set to Manual, there is no speed or directional assistance.
Assisted, Manual.
DEFENDING
Legacy Defending (unavailable in competitive preset) allows you to run towards the ball and tackle automatically just by holding the button. Advanced Defending gives you the freedom to choose your tackle type. Tactical Defending allows you to time your tackles and maintain your position. It will contextually choose, depending on a player’s position, between a standing tackle and a more physical tackle.
Legacy, Advanced, Tactical.
PROFESSIONAL FOULS
Enable/Disable the ability for you to trigger on-demand Professional Fouls. This only affects the Professional Fouls triggered by doing the designated input for them.
On, Off.
PASS BLOCK ASSISTANCE
AI and user controlled players will attempt to intercept a pass automatically when the ball is close by. If disabled, the user controlled players will remain in position, and interceptions must be triggered manually.
On, Off.
AUTO SWITCHING
When auto is selected, the game will automatically switch to the best player for you. If Only on Air Balls is active, the game will only switch players on lobs and crosses. If Only on Loose Balls is active, the game will only switch players on Loose Balls and Crosses.
Manual, Only on Loose Balls, Only on Air Balls, On Air and Loose Balls, Automatic.
AUTO SWITCHING MOVE ASSISTANCE
Auto Switch Move Assistance keeps the player who you have auto switched to moving in their current direction for a period of time. This gives you time to orient your intended direction for the new player. The higher the assistance level, the longer the period of time the player will run.
None, Low, High.
RIGHT STICK SWITCHING
When Adaptive is selected, holding the right stick for longer will switch to more distant players as soon as you release it. When Classic is active, flicking the right stick switches to the very next player standing in the direction you are pointing towards. When Player Rotation is active, flicking will move the next player switch indicator but won’t switch the player.
Adaptive, Classic, Player Rotation.
RS SWITCHING REFERENCE
The player who you control or the ball act as the center point of reference for any Right Stick switching.
Player Relative, Ball Relative.
RS SWITCHING SENSITIVITY
Adjust the sensitivity for right stick switching (classic, adaptive, or rotation). The higher the sensitivity, the more the game will respect your directional input when selecting the next player. The lower the sensitivity, the more likely the game is to select a player in closer proximity, even if the direction is not pointed directly at them.
From 0 to 10.
NEXT PLAYER SWITCHING
While defending, press L1/LB to switch to the next-best available player on the pitch: Classic (the best player will be determined by various factors); Goal Side (this setting favors players on the goal side of the ball); Closest to Ball (this setting favors players who are closer to the ball).
Classic, Closest to Ball, Goal Side.
REACTION TIME CALIBRATION
When the Next Player Switch indicator is turned on (default), an icon appears over the head of the player you will switch to when pressing L1/LB. This icon updates constantly based on the match situation. In some instances, the icon can change during the natural reaction window that exists between you thinking about player switching and actually pressing L1/LB. The Reaction Time Calibration takes this into account, switching you to the player that was indicated when you initially thought about switching. This setting has no impact on right stick switching or the speed with which inputs are processed.
On, Off.
REACTION TIME CALIBRATION SENSITIVITY
Use this setting to fine tune the duration of the Reaction Time Calibration window.
From 0 to 10.
PLAYER LOCK
You can lock onto a player by pressing right and left sticks. Switch off of that player by flicking the right stick.
On, Off.
SIMPLIFIED SKILL MOVES
Advanced Skill Moves are possible using right stick gestures and modifiers.
On, Off.
SAVE ASSISTANCE
When Manual is selected, the only saves that are automatic are reflex saves. When Semi is active, balls that travel within close proximity to a player’s body are automatically saved.
Manual, Semi, Assisted.
CAMERA PAN SPEED
While holding L1/LB using L will pan the Pro camera at the set speed.
