An EA FC 26 player has discovered a 'hack' that allows gamers to score from corners every time.
The latest instalment of the hugely popular football game officially launched on September 26, and fans have wasted no time testing it out.
Expectations are high, with EA Sports promising that it will deliver its most realistic football experience yet. Real Madrid and England star Jude Bellingham appears on the standard edition cover, alongside Bayern Munich and Germany's Jamal Musiala.
Swedish icon Zlatan Ibrahimovic fronts the Ultimate Edition. Developers claimed that gameplay would be overhauled for EA FC 26, including more responsive dribbling, better positioning from AI and more explosive movement.

But not everything has gone to plan so far, with one gamer finding a way to score from corners consistently.
What is the EA FC 26 corner tactic?
Levi de Weerd, who plays for Team Liquid, posted a short tutorial on Instagram, showing players how to score from corners.
He explained: "Step one, call a player short, you call a player short to the corner kick by clicking R1. Step two, just run down the by-line, your opponent will cover the player that just took the corner kick because he thinks you're going to play it there.
"Instead, you just run down the by-line. Either you walk, or, even better, you use R1 technical dribbling. Step three: look at the back post and play a regular square cross.
"As you can see, these fly in every single time and it's not even harder to perform so make sure to try this corner kick out."

What else is new on EA FC 26?
The game introduces two distinct forms of gameplay.
For fast-paced modes such as Ultimate Team or Clubs, the action has been tuned to be quicker and more dynamic.
However, for career mode, it is slower and more authentic, which is designed to mimic the game itself.
Career mode has also been overhauled with fresh challenges for gamers.
They can choose from a range of real-world scenarios and alternative storylines, as either a manager or a player.
In Ultimate Team, they have introduced a new second-tier weekend competition aimed at players in the lower divisions.
