Bring Back Magic – Nostalgic Story-Based Challenges with Real Football Moments

Hi EA Team,

I’ve been playing FIFA/EA FC for years, and while I appreciate the technical improvements and new features, there’s one thing I (and many others) have felt is missing: the magic of football’s greatest real-life stories.

So here’s my suggestion — and I genuinely think it could be something special for the community and commercially smart for EA too.

The Idea: Nostalgic, Story-Based Challenges from Real Football History

What if EA FC introduced a mode where players could relive iconic football moments, using the actual teams and rosters from that era, alongside real-life footage that sets the stage?

Imagine stepping into:

Leicester City’s 2015–16 miracle Premier League title run, trying to hold off the giants with Vardy, Mahrez, and Kante

Liverpool’s legendary 2005 Champions League final comeback vs. AC Milan — recreating it with the same squad, the same stakes, and the same pressure

Barcelona’s 2009 treble-winning season, or Zidane’s volley in 2002

These wouldn’t just be matches — they’d be emotional, story-driven challenges that combine gameplay with football history.

How It Could Work:

A new mode called "Legacy Challenges" (or included within Kick-Off or Moments)

Each challenge starts with a short real-life video recap of the moment (licensed footage, like The Journey cutscenes)

Players relive or rewrite history — same squads, tactics, and conditions

Rewards could include retro kits, stadium themes, icon cards in FUT, or special filters like a 2000s broadcast style

Why This Matters:

Many players have drifted away over the years — especially after their favorite players retired or their favorite eras passed. But the emotional connection is still there. Giving fans a way to relive those magical football stories could reignite that passion.

And importantly, these players tend to have more disposable income. They’re not necessarily here for FUT packs — they’d pay for quality content that brings back the magic. In markets like India, where fans have strong nostalgia for iconic football moments, this kind of feature could genuinely bring players back to EA FC, away from outdated or pirated versions.

Thanks for considering this. I truly believe this could be a feature that brings football history and gaming together in a powerful way.
