✨ WHAT’S NEW IN V5?

🔥 ATTACKING EVOLUTION

V5 introduces an entirely new attacking system.

This isn’t a small tweak to runs or reaction times — it is a full attacking rework.

The result?

✅ More intuitive attacking movement✅ Smarter off-the-ball runs✅ Better spacing and timing✅ More natural third-man movement✅ More context-aware forward momentum

Attackers now recognise space more intelligently.

They don’t just run, they read.

You will notice:

🔹 More dynamic forward runs🔹 Better support positioning🔹 Smarter central overloads🔹 More varied attacking shapes🔹 Improved recognition of through-ball opportunities

The overall experience becomes more rewarding and more intuitive.

Your build-up feels purposeful and the final third finally feels alive.

🤖 CPU REIMAGINED

V5 places a massive emphasis on CPU danger, aggression, difficulty and creativity.

In general they are:

🔹 More direct when needed🔹 More expressive in possession🔹 More confident in attack🔹 More difficult to contain🔹 Will shoot more from distance

Specifically, you will now see:

✅ More direct through balls✅ Increased dribbling conviction✅ More crosses✅ More long passes✅ More lobbed through ballsUltimately - they attack you and they don’t just circulate.

⚽CPU LONG RANGE SHOOTING

Yes - the CPU now also shoots (and scores) from long range much more regularly! Don’t forget your CPU Set-Up Base settings first though, as this helps fine-tune this area!✅ More finesse shots from varied angles✅ More turn-and-shoot behaviours✅ More distance shooting✅ More willingness to take players on⭐Remember to read ESSENTIAL SETTINGS 

Please remember that your overall setup still matters greatly in this regard. Don’t dismiss the role BALANCE plays. Be sure to read the EXPRESS NOTES AND CONSIDERATIONS PDF for loads of details and tips around this.

⚙️ CPU SET-UP BASES (UPDATED SYSTEM)

⚠️ CRUCIAL: The ESSENTIAL SETTINGS PDF has been updated specifically for V5.

This is NOT optional reading. Even if you think you know the mod — V5 introduces major setup changes. No one should skip this.

After extensive testing with the new V5 attacking system, FOUR recommended CPU SET-UP BASES are now available via CPU Sliders. These will put you on the right track right from the beginning.

The recommended setups are outlined in detail inside the updated ESSENTIAL SETTINGS PDF.

They are:

✅ BALANCED ATTACK✅ BALANCED SETTLED✅ ATTACKING✅ CUSTOM

The guesswork has been removed and I have tested this extensively so you don’t have to.

🧠 MAJOR FC IQ RE-WORK

Many FC IQ roles have been significantly reworked to create far more personality, tactical variety — and overall balance!

There has been a significant focus on all defensive roles primarily to ensure you can set up your defence exactly how you want to.

For example:

🔹 CB Defender - Defend/Balanced is now more conservative in base positioning and behaviours.🔹 FB Defender - Defend and Falseback Defender - Defend holds a more conservative shape and range of behaviours also.🔹 Deep-lying playmakers now sit deeper and protect structure.🔹 Holding midfielders provide better screening.🔹 CB Ballplaying Defender - Buildup will push more into the midfield

Meanwhile:

⭐ More attacking central midfield roles still push on into the attack⭐ Offensive identity remains expressive and natural

The result?

✅ Stronger defensive structure when you want it!✅ Fewer cheap counter-attacks✅ More tactical control and accountability✅ Clearer differentiation between roles

⚠️ NOTE: The focus is on creating diverse gameplay that is contextual and natural. The idea is that you get identity without the stiffness.

🐢/🚀 ALL NEW STANDALONE: SLOW CONTRAST

SLOW CONTRAST is an elevated version of the Extra Slow standalone.

It is designed to create:

✅ Greater differentiation between slow and fast players✅ Speed gaps feel more pronounced without breaking balance.✅ Designed to highlight player individuality more clearly.

💥 Think of this as a slower version of the popular REGULAR EXTRA (which is now renamed to REGULAR CONTRAST).

🎮 DRIBBLING IDENTITY UPGRADE

Every standalone has been given this dribbling identity upgrade to ensure elite dribblers are now significantly more impactful.

This adds a nice layer of depth where dribblers rated over 80 are much more dangerous in their ability to dribble aggressively with close control and escape in tight spaces.

You will notice the difference when playing WITH elite dribblers but also when playing AGAINST them as well.

This creates a clearer skill gap and stronger player personality.

🥊 PHYSICALITY UPGRADE

Players now battle more, resulting in a far greater range of outcomes and animations.

You will see more players fighting for position, leading to a more diverse range of results across physical duels and aerial battles.

✋ Previously, strong players almost always won every battle or aerial duel.

Now, balance, timing and technical skill play a much bigger role. Players with greater control and composure can come out on top in these situations, adding another key layer of depth to the gameplay.

This also leads to more fouls being drawn and more rewarding, varied physical animations throughout matches.

🧪 Career Mode Gameplay – Boosts and Passive CPU Removed (Test Option)

V5 introduces an additional Career Mode-specific gameplay OPTION designed to address long-standing inconsistencies in Career Mode gameplay behaviour (such as passive CPU behaviour).

This is NOT built into the standalone, it exists as a TEST OPTION.

This option is very similar to the original Career Mode Gameplay Stability Test option, however it removes a couple of elements that may have caused some issues such as Player Morale etc.

Rather than broadly adjusting multiple areas, this version:

🔹 Removes attribute BOOSTS🔹 Targets PASSIVE CPU behaviours only

In short, it’s a more focused, cleaner implementation of the original idea.

🚨 This remains as a TEST option, but I highly recommend using it when using career mode.

✋ You will need to start a new career mode for these changes to take effect.

✈️ CROSSING & LOB IMPROVEMENTS

Crosses and lobs now feature more consistent lower trajectories.

This makes crossing and long balls more dangerous and harder-to-defend deliveries!

This results in significantly more exciting goal scoring opportunities.

✋ Use the ‘Increased Crossing + Lob Speed Option’ for even greater consistency in these passes (Full Gameplay Package only).

🎯 ADVANCED PASSING SYSTEM – REWORKED STRUCTURE (Full Gameplay Package)

The Advanced Passing System has been removed from the V5 standalone and now is entirely selectable via options inside the Full Gameplay Package.

Don’t get it twisted though — it’s reworked, refined and now has more options than ever!

There are now SEVEN Levels of the Advanced Passing System to choose from!

🔹 Level 1 = Minimal implementation (all new for V5)🔹 Level 5 = Identical to V4 standalone🔹 Level 7 = Maximum strength

You can also:

🔹 Isolate pass types (ground, lob and through balls for example can be mixed and matched across various levels)🔹 Add contrast variations (for increased attribute differences)🔹 After heavy testing, the CPU Passing Error Slider can now be safely adjusted — giving you even more control over challenge.

This is the most customisable version of the system ever released — and if you don’t want to use it, then you simply don’t use any of those options!

🔥 If you do though — be prepared to add a whole lot of CHARACTER to your gameplay.

📌 CONTEXT

The Advanced Passing System takes gameplay to an entirely new level of realism.

The laser-guided feel is gone — passing now has true character. Every pass feels more varied and organic.

This system adds a significant layer of depth to the gameplay experience.

The Advanced Passing System has been designed to create more natural mistakes that scale heavily and intelligently with the type of pass, the context of the pass and player attributes.

If you’re playing with a team of low technical players for example, don’t expect to be able to tika-taka your way through to goal.

Passing outcomes are influenced by a wide range of contextual factors, not limited to, but including:

🔹 Pass type🔹 Passing ability🔹 Balance🔹 Momentum🔹 Player pressure🔹 Speed🔹 Height🔹 Body positioning

Who is making the pass, what that pass is — and how they make it matters more than ever.

🆕 ALL NEW V5 STANDALONES: GROUNDED ALTERNATIVES (FULL GAMEPLAY PACKAGE)

All New to V5 - GROUNDED ALTERNATIVE standalones.

These feature a specific adjustment to the movement bases of the V5 standalones for a more grounded feel. Read on for the details..

🔎WHAT ARE THEY?

The GROUNDED ALTERNATIVE versions offer a very specific adjustment to movement, which significantly tightens the OFF-BALL left-stick control and has a knock-on impact for gameplay.This is a relatively simple adjustment, but the impact is quite significant.👉General animation flow feels tighter and more grounded and it helps to reduce subtle sliding or over-gliding in the controls.✅OFF-BALL: Movement becomes much more precise and planted. ✅ON-BALL: Movement remains unchanged.

This creates a far more intuitive and natural movement feel - reducing the subtle ‘slippery’ sensation that some players associate with FC movement.

It also increases the need to think carefully about positioning and defensive decision-making. Recovery is no longer instant - angles, body shape, and anticipation matter more.

The overall result is a very satisfying contrast in pace, producing a more organic give-and-take battle between attackers and defenders (especially when combined with V5’s updated dribbling system).Give it a try and see how you like it!

💡TIP: The GROUNDED ALTERNATIVE versions pair especially well with standalones that have a little extra pace, such as FAST or REGULAR CONTRAST as there’s a very nice fluid, natural contrast in pace. 🛑Don’t write off some of these ‘faster’ versions just by their name - especially when using the GROUNDED ALTERNATIVE versions, you might be surprised at how realistic they look and feel!

🥅 HOW TO USE THEM?

You will find all of the V5 ‘GROUNDED ALT’ versions here:STANDALONES \ CURRENT VERSION \ BONUS VERSIONS \ GROUNDED ALTERNATIVESSimply select the standalone you want - remember you can only use ONE standalone at a time!

❓ WHY NO GROUNDED VERSIONS FOR SLOW FLOW OR FLUID FLOW?

Because they already follow a similar philosophy - but with a difference.The FLOW standalones were intentionally designed with a very specific left-stick system already - one that affects BOTH ON-BALL and OFF-BALL movement.This creates a slower, overall gameplay, one which is slightly less responsive overall.The key differences in the GROUNDED ALTERNATIVES are that they retain the same responsive on ball controls that you’re used to. 

So in short, creating a GROUNDED version for them would fundamentally change their intended design.📌 Remember - you only ever use ONE standalone at a time.

🔄If these particular versions don’t suit your preference, simply switch to a different standalone. That’s exactly why multiple movement bases exist. Refer to the STANDALONE DIFFERENCES pdf for a full breakdown.

📚 ALL NEW UPDATED PDFs – CRUCIAL INFORMATION

V5 sees significant updates to the core documentation.

The following PDFs have been extensively revised:

🔹 ESSENTIAL SETTINGS🔹 EXPRESS NOTES AND CONSIDERATIONS🔹 POSITIONING ALTERNATIVES GUIDE

These are not minor wording tweaks — there are some major adjustments — far bigger than in most updates (especially the ESSENTIAL SETTINGS document).

They contain extremely important structural information that directly impacts how V5 should be set up and understood.

⚠️ Even if you believe you already understand the mod, it is imperative that you spend time reading and referring back to this updated documentation.

The documentation is designed to remove guesswork and ensure you get the most out of the mod.

Things are only complicated and overwhelming if you don’t use and refer back to the information.

The mod isn’t complicated — it’s large to give you the gameplay experience you want!

Take the time — it matters more in V5 than ever before.

📦 FULL GAMEPLAY PACKAGE: MASSIVE EXPANSION (360+ OPTIONS)

V5 introduces a significant expansion to the Full Gameplay Package, pushing the total number of available options to well beyond 360+.

These options are designed to give you full control over gameplay behaviour, allowing you to refine and customise your experience with precision.

Below are some of the major additions introduced in V5:

🔹 ADVANCED PASSING SYSTEM (EXPANDED)

The Advanced Passing System has been fully restructured and expanded.

You now have:

✅ Levels 1 – 7 (clear strength scaling)✅ Pass type isolations✅ Increased contrast layers

This allows you to fine-tune passing behaviour more precisely than ever before — whether you prefer minimal variation or maximum attribute separation.

🔹 PRESSING CONTRAST

Creates greater differentiation in pressing ability between players.

Weaker players will:

✅ Mark slower✅ React later✅ Close space less effectively

Elite defensive players now stand out more clearly in off-ball situations, reinforcing tactical identity.

🔹 NEW SHOOTING ERROR OPTIONS

Expanded control over shooting behaviour.

Available strengths include:

✅ Strong✅ Subtle✅ Very Subtle✅ CPU Error Specific Variants

You can now offset CPU and user shooting errors more precisely, helping you balance realism and difficulty.

🔹 INCREASED BALL FREEDOM - SUBTLE

A more subtle version of the original Increased Ball Freedom Option.

This option is designed to reduce some of that additional bobble and create a more subtle, smooth overall experience whilst still allowing for increased ball separation.

🔹 TWO NEW POSITIONING ALTERNATIVES

✅ PA – Midfield Tweak

A subtle but impactful adjustment.

Defensive midfielders make a more deliberate effort to drop deeper when protecting their own goal.

Small change. Noticeable structural effect.

✅ PA – Stable Balance

Provides a structure closer to default FC26 positioning — but reduced space between the lines.

Ideal for players who don’t want to venture too far away from EA’s positioning system.

🔹 Increased CPU Passing Release (Standard & Strong)

Increases the rate at which the CPU releases the ball.

This allows the CPU to circulate possession faster and more purposefully, reducing hesitation and improving overall attacking flow.

Ideal for players looking for a greater challenge.

🔹 ALL NEW PRESETS

✅ CHARACTER PRESET

This preset is designed for those who like a gameplay with more "character".

The Advanced Passing System - Level 5 is built in, meaning players need to take more care when passing the ball around.

Who you pass with, and the context of those passes matter greatly.

Shooting Errors Option - Subtle is also built into the preset.

This preset is a quick and simple, designed for those who want to inject more "personality" in their gameplay without having to worry about which options to select.

✅ TIGHT MODERATE PRESET

This preset is designed for those who like their gameplay to be moderately TIGHTER and less end to end.

Using this preset will create a tighter midfield balance with increased marking intensity and slightly more simulation elements than you will find in the standalone.

✅ LIGHT SCRAPPY PRESET

This preset is designed for those who like a more rugged, chaotic experience — but want a more TONED DOWN version than the original Scrappy Preset.

There are more fouls, lots of loose contested duels and you're often fighting to get the ball under control — but the ball will bobble less than the original preset and the passing/shooting errors are more subtle than the original.

🔹 MANY ADDITIONAL NEW OPTIONS

V5 also introduces many other new options such as:

✅ Career Mode Gameplay - Boosts and Passive CPU Removed Only - Test Option✅ Attacking Reaction Times - Very Strongly Increased✅ Early Trigger Running Option - Strong✅ Attack Alternative - Default FC26✅ Attack Alternative - V4✅ FC IQ Base Alternative - Default FC26✅ FC IQ Base Alternative - V4✅ Increased Dribble Aggression (Updated)✅ CPU Behaviour Alternative - Tweak Test✅ Collision Alternative (V4)✅ Additional FC IQ refinement options✅ All new Positioning Alternative combinations✅ Plus so much more.

🚨 Remember, there are detailed READ ME files in each option to explain exactly what each option does and the impact it will have on your standalone.
