EA Faculty Soccer 26 trailer reveals expanded Street to Glory, real-life coaches

EA Faculty Soccer 26 may break all the information set by its predecessor final 12 months.

As enjoyable as Faculty Soccer 25 was, a few of the gameplay in direction of the top felt a little bit missing, particularly with Street to Glory. Effectively, if the trailer reveals us something, it’s this: Faculty Soccer 26 heard all of the fan requests and answered some prayers.

The very first thing you discover when watching the trailer is straightforward: they acquired “Enter Sandman” by Metallica into the sport. The backdrop for the very best school soccer custom within the sport is now within the recreation, and it makes me need to select Virginia Tech as my dynasty each single time.

In relation to the precise gameplay, it does really feel like they listened a bit to what individuals had been asking for. After final 12 months’s recreation had some unevenness in the case of mechanics and gameplay, it looks like this 12 months’s model goes to be extra expansive, beginning with Street to Glory. I used to be at all times a giant RTG fan within the previous NCAA video games, and it was since you might begin in highschool and go concerning the recruitment course of earlier than committing. That wasn’t in CFB 25, however it’s making a return in 2026, with the power to decommit throughout highschool as properly.

In Dynasty, I felt like all the pieces might’ve been turned up a notch from 25, and based mostly on the EA publication, it looks like we’re headed that approach. I used to be annoyed with the shortage of formation subs, however they’re including these into the sport this 12 months to assist smoothen out the method of constructing my dynasty at Virginia Tech. On-line cross-play is now in On-line Dynasty, which ought to be enjoyable, and now that they introduced again the Trophy Room, you get to point out off all of the trophies you win throughout rivalry video games and whereas I convey Virginia Tech or South Alabama to prominence within the school soccer world.

There are additionally expanded playbooks that embody all of Penn State’s trick performs and the enjoyable stuff you see on Saturdays, however inside that gameplay you may as well handle Put on and Tear a little bit higher this 12 months. Dynamic Substitutions at the moment are within the recreation, which let you shield stars and maintain them from accumulating put on and tear till crucial moments within the recreation.

One other large change is the addition of real-life school soccer coaches. Within the trailer you possibly can see Texas’ Steve Sarkisian, Notre Dame’s Marcus Freeman and Penn State’s James Franklin, however there are over 300 actual coaches on this recreation.

Lastly, WE GOT THE TURNOVER TIRE!

I can’t wait till July 11.
