Recently, the "Kick Off" bug has gone viral in the EA Sports FC 26 community. A simple technique allows for scoring easy goals.
A loophole has been found in the defensive system: using a specific movement combination, it's easy to carry the ball to the opponent's goal and score shortly after the start of the half.
The developers of EA Sports FC 26 have responded and are preparing special fixes:
"We see your feedback regarding early kickoff goals and are working on defensive positioning improvements that will only be active during kickoff situations.
We are planning to release this update in early October and will let you know if anything changes."
