Community ManagerHey all,
If you use the Continue with Steam option when launching EA Desktop you should be able to import your friends as a workaround currently.
This issue is still under investigation and a more permanent fix will be implemented when available.
STILL BROKEN
That's a negatory on the workaround...

Community ManagerThe approach above seems to have worked for me. I signed out of EA Desktop and then signed back in using my Steam account. The Steam service is now showing as being linked.
EA SPORTS FC™ Teamhad the import issue today, can login through both methods (import steam friends and 'continue via steam') both won't bring across steam friends.

The wording of the error in the pic attached seems to suggest both people have to link their Steam account with EA,
is this true? kinda of annoying to have to hassle friends to get EA's app when they bought the game elsewhere.
This issue isn't fixed. Why wasn't the kinks worked out when you changed from origin? Did you all not think about this? This is very frustrating and when we purchase games we as consumers should not have to face barricades such as this. This is unacceptable when I purchase a product via Highly decorated publisher's app I should run into no problems when trying to play. What gives? What does it take for people to do there job nowadays?
I very much still cannot add/see my Steam friends in the EA app either through the workaround or linking accounts (which I have done successfully)
