In many of the biggest, most popular games and series, we're starting to see AI-generated or AI-assisted assets slowly creep in. Call of Duty's calling cards, for example, or Arc Raiders' text-to-speech system for generating dialog. While there's always some level of pushback and disgruntlement, there's a growing amount of acceptance or indifference to it as well. It seems that the EA Sports FC series has jumped on the wagon too, with iconic soccer commentator and FC 26 star Guy Mowbray giving EA permissions to use an AI version of his voice to generate new lines of commentary.

Match of the Day football commentator Guy Mowbray has revealed he gave EA permission to create an AI voice clone of himself in order to assist with some of the more onerous aspects of recording commentary for EA Sports FC.
EA Sports has revealed the much-anticipated Ultimate Team of the Year cards for the 2025/26 season, including a slew of meta favourites from the likes of the evergreen Virgil van Dijk, super-fast Kylian Mbappe and unplayable queen of FC 26 Claudia Pina.
Setting aside stat boosts for a handy Low Driven Shot+ and 5-star WF upgrade, Fantasy FC Path might actually be one of the trickiest evolutions to rate in EA FC 26. After all, is a second PS+ really enough to justify its premium price?
Well, it turns out it might, even if getting it there will demand very specific picks. Here’s who are the best players for the Fantasy FC Path evolution in EA FC 26, as well as a full breakdown of everything it brings to the table.
EA FC 26 Fantasy FC Path Evolution Requirements And Upgrades
Available for 50K Coins / 400 FC Points, Fantasy FC Path can only be used on under 87-OVR strikers, with a maximum of 10 PlayStyles and one PS+. Your chosen player must also not be an LM/RM, nor a World Tour Silver Icon. You can check out all of the upgrades your chosen card can get, including an ++ upgrade to all ST roles and a few handy regular PlayStyles, below.
Level 3: +3 SM (max -star) and +4 WF (max 5-star). Low Driven Shot+
Level 4: Low Driven Shot, First Touch, Finesse Shot, and Power Shot PlayStyles
Best Players For The Fantasy FC Chain Evolution In EA FC 26

Although the evolution’s PlayStyle focus might make it a better fit for those looking to build meta slayers with long chains, its upgrades can also allow many already high-rated picks to shine. The best examples of that can be seen in Base Icon Fernando Torres and Gianfranco Zola, who can use it to get both a welcome PAC increase and the meta 5-star WF/Finesse Shot+ and Low Driven Shot+ combo.
TOTW Endrick and Thunderstruck Dumornay can also be worthy picks for it, as their Rapid+ only makes Low Driven Shot + more lethal. It’s also worth pointing out that we don’t recommend using promo icons here, in special Winter Wildcards Baby Henry and Cruyff. Why? Apart from not getting a second PS+ from it, the evo also locks them away for the foreseeable future. To recap, here are the best players for Fantasy FC Chain in EA FC 26, as well as a few alternatives sure to excel.
EA Sports has revealed 3 new Heroes coming to FC 26 Ultimate Team as part of Team 1 of the Winter Wildcards promo: Ivan Zamorano, Claudio Pizarro and Jill Scott.
With more than 117 million units sold, it’s clear that Sony’s PS4 was a very successful console. It has naturally amassed a vast wealth of both first-party and third-party releases, and this list runs down 20 of the best games it has to offer in no particular order.
God of War
There aren’t many games that are able to deliver a stunning experience in such a smooth manner as Sony Santa Monica was able to do with the 2018 reboot. This story sets the protagonist in a new setting; new boss fights and outstanding level design. It’s both fresh and recognizable at the same time, and the new combat and the camera on offer also embodies the spirit of modern third person game while making it more intentional. The 2018 reboot is definitely one of the best games on the PS4, and is a great starting point for newcomers.
EA FC 26‘s new UEFA Primetime promo is here, allowing players to add a massive array of new Champions, Women’s Champions, Europa, and Conference League-themed cards to their squads.

To help you know who to invest in and what exactly your team’s representative is set to gain, here are all possible EA FC 26 UEFA Primetime card upgrades, explained.
All EA FC 26 UEFA Primetime Player Upgrades, Explained
As revealed by EA, all of the newly added EA FC 26 UEFA Primetime cards can receive a total of five performance-based upgrades, unlocked by reaching set individual or team milestones within the competitions after November 27.
