Is there hope that the Division system in Clubs Mode will be changed, especially with more than a month left before the launch of FC 26? The beta is expected to be released in the coming days, but it is not the final version of the game, which means there is still room for adjustments. Therefore, for me, I’m asking for a revision of the Division system and the removal of Playoffs from Clubs Mode. I want the old Division system back, like in FIFA 23 and 22 etc. Why? Well, first of all, in the old Division system, players were rewarded when they advanced to higher divisions. Once you earned a specific number of points, you received the division title, and there were cutscenes showing the trophy celebration with your team. This made players feel that their efforts were truly rewarded. Reaching Division 1 — the top division in the old system — required a high number of points, which increased competitiveness between clubs. And again, the trophy celebration cutscenes boosted the feeling of achievement. Players could proudly show off the number of trophies they had earned. A club with many Division 1 trophies was considered a great club, full of elite players, and ranked high on the Clubs leaderboard. That system was amazing because it allowed players to win titles and play daily against different clubs at the highest competitive levels. The old Division system was truly great in every sense of the word. As for the current Playoffs system — it’s very poor. The Playoff event happens only once a month. There are no trophy celebration cutscenes. Even when you reach the Elite Division — the highest division — there is nothing to fight for. No trophy, no point target, nothing. You just wait for the Playoffs to return. This discourages players from playing league matches daily and removes the excitement. That’s why most teams now rely on groups and communities on platforms like Telegram and Discord, where there are more than 50,000 players just for Clubs Mode. These groups were originally used to find available players with certain stats and roles. Now, however, these groups have started organizing external tournaments and friendly matches just for fun, because they don’t like the current Division or Playoff system. As a result, the top competitive teams don’t even play in league or Elite Division matches anymore — they just play externally organized friendly matches. This has made Clubs Mode boring and less competitive compared to before, when all those clubs used to fight for the Division 1 title. So, I really hope that the Playoff system gets removed and the old Division system is brought back to revive Clubs Mode again.829Views17likes21CommentsCrossplay On Nintendo Switch 2? #FC26
With the recent arrival and increased power of the Nintendo Switch 2, we'd like to know if we'll be able to play via crossplay or if it will have cross-platform support on the new console. We'd also like to know what the next step will be in terms of graphical improvements, please.

Hey all, Every year around this time we get a deluge of posts looking for clarification on bans and how they work. Here are some more specific answers to other common questions at this time: What bans carry over from title to title? "Device" Bans - is your PC or Console prohibited from connecting to the game regardless of what account you're using? Then it will not be able to connect to EA SPORTS FC™ 24 either. "Franchise" Bans - was your account banned, and now you can't connect to older titles either? This is a "Franchise" ban, and you will not be able to access any future EA SPORTS FC™ title using this account. What doesn't carry over? Coin Distribution Bans - These bans are specific to the title they were "earned" on. A ban for sending coins/receiving coins illegitimately will not mean you are banned in EA SPORTS FC™ 24 Transfer Market Bans - Was your access to the transfer market removed on the Companion App, In-Game or both? This will not affect your EA SPORTS FC™ 24 account. You will potentially need to re-earn access to the transfer market on the Web-/Companion App and will not be eligible for any early web starts. Again, as pointed out earlier in this post if your account is sanctioned by our Terms of Service team at any point you may reach out to them using the steps here for support. To prevent spam and to preserve the boards readability any new threads on this topic will be closed and referred to this post for further information.8.2KViews14likes0CommentsPetition - Authentic Gameplay toggle in Online Friendlies mode

Hi EA FC Development Team, I’m a blind player and use a screen reader (NVDA, with OCR scanning ) to navigate the game interface. Unfortunately, the current user experience is quite limited for visually impaired players: most information and controls are visually structured in ways that screen readers struggle to interpret properly. Here are some suggestions to help make EA Sports FC 26 more accessible: 1. Alternative text-based UI layouts Provide an optional interface layout where key data (names, stats, controls, menus) are organized in a structured, plain-text format. This would allow screen readers to scan and read the content much more reliably. 2. Expanded keyboard command support Introduce keyboard shortcuts for as many game functions as possible. Full keyboard operability is crucial for blind users and also benefits players with motor disabilities or those who prefer keyboard input. 3. Career Mode Manager Career Mode is a great opportunity for accessibility, as matches can be simulated and followed passively. However, the current match commentary lacks depth and detail, making it hard for a blind user to fully understand what’s happening on the pitch. Enhancing the commentary to include clearer information (player names, ball position, type of play, phase of action) would turn this into a fully playable and immersive mode for blind gamers. 4. UI scripting or customization system Consider adding a scripting or UI customization system that allows users to design or adapt interfaces. This would enable the accessibility community to build and share their own layouts, reducing pressure on your internal team while fostering innovation from the player base. Accessibility is not just about inclusion—it’s also an opportunity for innovation. Making FC 26 accessible to blind players would open up the beautiful game to a whole new audience. more about screen readers: 🔗 https://www.nvaccess.org Thanks for your attention Best regards, Luca – Blind gamer & accessible software developer124Views9likes4CommentsWhat to do if your EA Account has been hacked

Could the option of authentic gameplay be added for online matches and seasons? At least have the option to choose.

Dear EA Sports Team, My name is Sokos Konstantinos, and as a dedicated fan of the EA Sports FC series, I am writing to express my enthusiasm for your upcoming title, EA Sports FC 26, which I have already pre-ordered in its Ultimate Edition, as I have done with all previous titles in the franchise. My consistent support reflects my deep appreciation for the immersive and authentic football experience your games provide. I am reaching out with a sincere request to consider including the Greek Super League and the Greek national team in EA Sports FC 26. This is not a condition or bargaining point for my purchase, as my commitment to the series remains unwavering. Rather, it is a heartfelt wish from a passionate fan of both your games and Greek football. The Greek Super League holds significant historical and cultural importance, with a rich legacy of competitive matches and fervent fan support. Clubs such as AEK Athens, Olympiacos FC, Panathinaikos, and PAOK FC have not only dominated domestically but have also made notable impacts in European competitions, exemplified by Olympiacos’ historic UEFA Conference League victory in 2024. Including the Greek Super League would celebrate these achievements, enhance gameplay diversity, and provide fans worldwide with the opportunity to experience the intense rivalries and vibrant atmosphere of Greek football. Additionally, the inclusion of the Greek national team would further enrich the game’s authenticity. Greece’s memorable Euro 2004 triumph and its consistent production of talented players demonstrate the nation’s footballing pedigree. Featuring the national team would resonate deeply with fans and allow players to engage with Greece’s unique football identity on an international stage. I understand that adding new leagues and teams requires significant resources and licensing efforts. However, the passionate Greek football community, combined with the global appeal of these teams, would undoubtedly enhance the EA Sports FC 26 experience and attract a broader audience. I kindly urge you to consider this request, as it would honor the legacy of Greek football and fulfill the wishes of many loyal fans like myself. Thank you for your time and consideration. I eagerly await the release of EA Sports FC 26 and appreciate your ongoing efforts to deliver an unparalleled football gaming experience. Sincerely, Sokos G. Konstantinos473Views7likes5CommentsCan't access any game modes – FC 26 Beta
Hi, I received my FC 26 Beta code and was able to download and launch the game without any issues. However, since the Beta started on August 6, I still can’t access any game modes. The only thing available to me is the FC News section — I haven’t been able to play at all. Even today, on August 8, 2025, the issue remains. I’ve tried restarting the game and my PC multiple times, but nothing changes. Is this a known issue? Is there a fix or an update expected soon? Thanks in advance for your help!FulumboPlace FC 26 General DiscussionFC 26 General DiscussionSeasoned Newcomer1.3KViews7likes20CommentsPlease Add 120 FPS Support for FC 26 on PS5
Hey, I really hope FC 26 brings native 120 FPS support on PS5. Console players have been waiting for this feature for a long time. If you've ever played FC on PC at 120 FPS or higher, you already know how smooth and responsive the game feels. It’s a big difference, especially during fast-paced moments. Once you get used to it, 60 FPS feels noticeably slower. PS5 is powerful enough to handle 120 FPS. A simple performance mode or toggle in the settings would be enough—even with slightly reduced resolution. It’s time for FC on PS5 to catch up with the smoothness we’ve seen on PC for years. Thanks.813Views7likes10CommentsGrip/Cut Socks Customisation
** REPOSTING FROM FC24 & FC25 GENERAL DISCUSSION AS THERE HAS BEEN NO RESPONSE FROM EA ** I just can’t understand why EA hasn’t added grip/cut socks to the customisation options. Nearly all players wear these now, but the only option is the old-style ankle tape. No one wears the single strip of ankle tape anymore. It’s something so simple, but it takes away from the authenticity and realism of the game for me the fact it isn’t there on all game modes. I’ve included some image examples of it in real life, but also of the Manchester City ultimate team kit….which has them included in it? So the ability is already there. It should be applied across the whole game. Please EA, for FC26, give the option and get with the times!!! It has been something in the game of football for a long time now. The fact the community need to prompt something like this and you haven’t just watched a game of football/soccer to see it’s everywhere is quite sad. I hope this is taken seriously and implemented for the new game release!237Views7likes5CommentsEA SPORTS FC™ 25 Title Update #2
