The FC 26 Clubs deep dive revealed everything about the archetype feature, the introduction of live events, the improvements made to the Clubs lobby, changes implemented to the Be-A-Goalkeeper feature, revamped AI facilities, and all the gameplay changes and additions coming to the mod in this year's title.

It focused mainly on the archetype feature, the new Clubs progression system. There are 13 unique archetypes players can choose from, and all of them are inspired by football legends. You will be able to select your archetype once you enter Clubs for the first time.

By playing games, you will earn archetype AXP points, which can then be used to upgrade your abilities or attributes. You will need to progress in your archetype to unlock PlayStyles slots, signature perks, and specializations, which are one of three unique variants each archetype possesses.

This deep dive also revealed new live events for Clubs, such as Clubs Rush, which will have different entry requirements, modified gameplay, uqniue rules, and allow you to earn plenty of rewards.

As mentioned above, the Club's lobby was also revamped, being redesigned to provide a cleaner layout and be more intuitive. The lobby now also has a feature that allows players to see how their player archetype fits in the team tactical scheme, and how it changes from position to position.

But that's now all, as you can finally be a member of more than one club at the same time. In FC 26, players can be members of three clubs at a time, and can switch between clubs freely.

Developers also announced gameplay improvements in this FC 26 Clubs deep dive. Clubs will be played in the competitive gameplay preset, with the gameplay being fast and responsive, hopefully creating a fantastic gameplay experience for fans.
