FC 26 is here, and while it’s packed with new features, there is still plenty of room to fine-tune the experience. That’s where realistic sliders come in. These allow you to adjust gameplay, speed, passing, shooting, defending, and AI behavior so every match feels like a real football simulation.
Whether you’re running a Road to Glory career mode or simply want offline matches to feel authentic, these sliders will help you achieve that balance between challenge and realism.
Why Do Sliders Matter in FC 26?
FC 26 allows you to choose between competitive and authentic gameplay types right out of the box. "Competitive" mimics the fast, online-focused experience, while "Authentic" slows things down and adds more realistic animations. It’s a step in the right direction; however, for true realism, you will still have to customize your own sliders.
Simply, think of sliders as the engine under the hood:
- Speed – How quickly players accelerate and move.
- Passing & Shooting – Accuracy, error, and speed of the ball.
- Defending & Positioning – How tight AI defenders mark and how compact your team stays.
- AI Behavior – How the CPU attacks, crosses, dribbles, and presses.
By modifying these, you can make sure the Sunderland vs. Manchester City match feels very different from Manchester City vs. Real Madrid.
