On Tuesday, July 15, a teaser for the Reveal Trailer featuring football star Cole Palmer was released. The announcement video hints that EA has addressed the community’s criticisms from previous years:
Cole Palmer says, just fulfill the fans’ wish
What do the fans want? In the staged teaser, EA employees at headquarters discuss real demands from the community on social media. Fans express a clear wish for the first trailer:
- “Come on. A bit of gameplay. I beg you.”
- “Just show us the new game.”
- “Gameplay? Now? Please?”
- “Gameplay! Gameplay!”
The fans want to see gameplay. This seems to indicate that there has been criticism that the scenes in the perfectly staged cinematic sequences from past trailers had too little to do with actual gameplay.
The demands are all pinned to a bulletin board. Next to the meticulously writing and discussing employees is also football star Cole Palmer in game day attire in the EA office. He also analyzes the fans’ criticisms as an expert.
At the end of the video, Palmer is asked what he thinks should be done.
What does EA need to do according to Palmer? The Chelsea star sums it up: “Just show the game in it.” He means that the Official Reveal Trailer should include gameplay, as the fans requested.
A solution that is obvious.
EA is undoubtedly building massive expectations for the Official Reveal Trailer. We expect that we might see at least snippets of real gameplay from FC 26 this evening, unless EA wants to shoot itself in the foot completely. Earlier this week, the developers surprised with another announcement regarding FC 26, which closely aligned with fans’ desires: EA shows cover for FC 26, fulfilling many fans’ wishes with a new star
