FC 26 brings arcade fire - but now with Ice Cold finish

WE quite liked FC 25, with its arcade-style new Rush mode and a desire to prove there was life after FIFA exited the franchise.

But the reaction among some gamers was fairly lukewarm to the long-running footie sim.

Well, the gaming bods at EA Sports have come back for another go to complement this season.

And this time they've doubled down on player feedback, trying to give console gamers exactly the game they want to play for months ahead.

The result? A faster-paced game that allows you to go all-out with an arcade-style experience, or a more authentic simulator for those interested in the minutiae of the Beautiful Game.
