Grip/Cut Socks Customisation

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 FC25, 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!

    Whether you think it’s a priority or not is irrelevant. If a part of the community suggests something with justification it should be listened to. Just like the things you care about.

    The point is we hear constantly about the game being ever closer to life-like simulation and authenticity, it’s the principle that something so small has been missing from a game for many years now. 

    The fact that we have these constant rotations of ultimate team cards, new game modes, new face scans, other customisation (which this is under), new kits, teams and the list goes on…

    And again, it’s something that like 90% of players do, so it’s not a strange request.

    16 days ago this was sent, and not been a single reply.

    I can’t believe how many years this is taking, we are talking about a white section at the bottom of socks (preferably different lengths/heights).

    Why is no one acknowledging it and making the change? It already exists in some kits, just make it a custom item to use whenever!?

    AGAIN, NEARLY EVERY PLAYER DOES IT!!

    That would be nice buts that's a big ask for EA! They can't even update the boots catalog properly.

    It’s crazy, found it literally on kits/socks already in the game.

    Hurry up and just add it to the customisation section where the ankle tape is!!!

  • I am so late but idk why only Bellingham has them.I know he is the cover star but still many players have it:Saka,Walker and more...And grip socks they are so common now and the ankle tape shouldn't be that old we are not in 2000's everyone has a little bit and shinpads editing would be so cool like remove them mini medium and big like look at olise he almost never wears them and it's still a realistic feature to add to the game.

    every player in the world wears grip socks at this point it’s shame they are not in the game.

    Another year, same disappointment.

    Just watched the FC26 trailer, and not shocked at all to see there’s not a single grip/cut sock on the video.

    I would genuinely love to know what is stopping EA, I’m forever gobsmacked at something so simple being missed every year which impacts (nearly) every player.

    Would love to even get an acknowledgment from EA they are at least looking at it.

    Oh well, fingers crossed.
