TrueFoot 1.5 Makes EA FC 26 Significantly Harder With New Difficulty Options

August 22, 2026

TrueFoot 1.5 focuses on one of the biggest requests from players after version 1.4: making the CPU harder. The update introduces a new Difficulty category with eight options that can be stacked, allowing players to significantly increase the challenge.

🧠Smarter and more aggressive CPU

The new options improve CPU pressure, attacking intelligence, defensive awareness, ball security, hidden CPU boosts and match composure. A separate User Handicap option reduces assistance on the user's side.

TrueFoot 1.5 also removes several limitations from the game's highest difficulty levels, improving CPU off-ball work rate, goalkeeper quality and mid-range shooting. The CPU can now make earlier runs, attack space more decisively and take clearer opportunities instead of playing sideways.

ðŸƒGame Speed and goalkeeper improvements

The free build adds support for EA FC 26's hidden Game Speed setting, allowing players to choose between Slow, Normal and Fast while keeping the same tempo across Kick-Off and Career Mode.

Goalkeeping has also been reworked into a single setting that can make keepers significantly stronger or weaker, replacing the previous rush and rebound options.

🎮More demanding gameplay

The base TrueFoot gameplay has also been made harder. Second pressers can arrive more effectively, team pressing builds faster, defenders track attackers more intelligently, and centre backs step in at better angles.

User defensive assistance has been reduced, while CPU teams benefit from improved combination play, through-ball timing, ball retention, and finishing. Teams that fall behind will also press earlier and more aggressively.
