Hi Paul,
after 2 months without a single FC 26 Match played I returned yesterday to see what changed (or not). Installed a nice Patch and applied your 6.18 Version of your GP Mod. It was simply the freshest and not in this way expected exxperience like I thought. You have reached an complete new level of smooth transition from one into another area what needed to improve this season. Really, really impressive. And I enjoyed every match I made. It´s not only the Player animations or the ball movement speed nor only the much more realistic Player turns. It felts like some older FIFA Gameplays from you which I still enjoy. The flow of the Gamespeed is super smooth, the Player movement and the animations are improved in a way that I never expected it´s possible in FC 26. I saw dribblings, I saw 1 animation where the ball was kicked from an AI Player with his backfoot, because he couldn´t reach the high ball with another part of his body. Never seen in any FC Game before. Unlocked animations is the key word I read the last week in other gameplay mods. The ice skating in yours is close to completly removed. I felt much much personality from the AI Players. Your exhausting system for the Players are coming in naturally in the late second half and finally there is a need to sub Players. Pretty cool.
So I recorded a Video with a UCL Match between Man United (AI) vs Bayern Munich (me). I used a FIFA 06 modded Squads so expect some old but gold Players. :-)
Wayne Rooney was super effective in that Match. Unfortunetly... Also the shots on goal are looking on the tin. Good power but not too much. And I saw a flat shot from Rooney which misses my goal with Oli kahn inside just a couple of inches. I saw a flat shot last time in Fifa 19 I remember. Especially from this distance and angle by Rooney.
And Paul and Guys, the crosses are back! How do you achieved this mythos coming back into the game?? I really thought I would never see naturally done crosses from the AI in my life in FC Games. They AI varies between crosses when on the wings and dribbling into my box or even passing smart a better positioned teammate around or in my box. Beautiful!
Should be sticky on every AI Tool to grab Info from how to teach the FC AI to play when People typing in the search function of Claude AI or ChatGPT "How to improve FC 26 Gameplay?".
Here for everyone who wanna take a look into Paul´s Mod. Hadn´t the chance to test 6.19 GP Version, but will do that the next days. YT Video is a bit low Quality with some stutters. I couldn´t record it on my own PC. So sorry for the quality.
