- updated the game TU5 and there is no pre-match line ups, you will have to get used to it and forget it, and not buy the next series

Hey all,
We understand your sentiment about that, and we hear your requests to bring the prematch cutscenes back into the game. We truly appreciate all the constructive feedback received so far; they are always welcome.
However, We would also like to remind you about our rules, so please avoid spamming or sharing unpolite comments.
Even if you try to catch more attention in relation to an issue or feedback, spam or rude posts actually get the opposite effect, creating a lot of confusion in the thread.
Unfortunately, there are no updates on this topic, but we always monitor your feedback and comments. What we need is the update on team introductions, not your warning! You think we care? We spend our money for you guys, we have the right to speak up what we deserve to get

Respectfully, I highly doubt there is any confusion in this thread, everyone here are pretty straight forward. When you have 130 pages of people giving feedback about how this decision was a total mistake and the only thing we get is "we always monitor your feedback and comments" it doesn't really make sense, does it ?
Why not just be up front and say that you have no intention of bringing back the pre match lineups, formations and anthems?
why try and mask it with the whole “we’re monitoring your feedback” crap?
how much for feedback do you realistically need?!

No updates on the topic after 5 title updates but atleast you hear us that makes me feel much better about spending a fortune on a game that you never clearly stated you were taking team lineups and introductions out of. We all know how this goes bottom of the barrel for us career mode players until the new game comes out when you say we heard you and we listened then charge us for the new game for the feature that should be in this game already. I try not to be rude but your literally robbing us year after year.
Honestly, I don't think @EA_LeonSK knows anymore than we do. I think they can only just pass on feedback and the reply the devs give them, so the anger may be misplaced.
I don't think that should stop us from posting about this though. I'd just love an answer about if it's even possible that they could be put back into this game or its something for a future game. I just need to know if I should move on instead of hoping. It it's back in EAFC 25 then I'll likely get it. If there's no chance of it coming back in the current game then fair enough, I'll move on and just wait for the next game. But it would be nice to know that it's a possibility/something they can do if they decide to do it.
- jimmarshall2 years agoSeasoned Ace@stinkinbishop very true. and it's not as food as 22, and just like last year's game. with one exception...no walkouts or anthems.
- @EA_LeonSK How do spam or rude posts confuse anything? If anything it only shows just how much you guys have royally screwed up that there’s people spending their time to comment on this now 132 page thread EA answers hq, where nothing gets answered apparently.
No one wants to be on this website doing this, I’ve only started using this website since this problem occurred, it’s pure frustration on the customers end so don’t come here talking about ‘rude’ posts when the real rudeness comes from the company you work for stealing as much money as they can from their loyal customers and looking the other way when confronted with their problems. You guys need to be fighting for updates on this topic considering it’s been the biggest topic for fc24 since the games release, rather than working as damage control for EA with no updates to give us I logged in just to reply to this post. I got the game 1 week ago. And it's so frustrating that you left these cutscenes out. I wanna know who I am playing against. What's their position, who's their main man, how many goals did he score etc. It's just not immersive at all. Did you even have any careermode players try this out before releasing it?
I could not agree more with you guys, and yes, I'm also using this forum for the first time ever (I'm playing FIFA since FIFA 09), which is showing you that nothing ever has upset me more than the removal of the lineups :-( (and there were a few things which annoyed me over the years).
My YouTube friend says that they have all been told that the feedback is not worth considering at this present moment in time because game sales and the amount of people playing and spending money on UT is enough to show them that they've made the right decision for now but if those numbers started going down than it would be an urgent request
@EA_LeonSK It’s not ‘spam’ though is it? The volume may seem spammy, but it isn’t . The harsh reality is that the volume is every single person on this forum giving their opinion on your awful and broken product. That’s not spam, that’s honesty …. Deal with it.
We pay our money, we are entitled to say whether we like aspects or not, especially when the released product is broken.
@Red-Deano Exactly I hate to say I’ve kept up with just about every comment and page on this thread and the only confusion caused by “spam” or “rude” comments is the deletion of those supposed comments because it’s made this thread a jumbled up mess.
@EA_LeonSK I’d maybe appreciate your comment a bit more if you guys actually had some proper back and forth communication with us but you don’t, that’s why you’re going to get ‘spam’ or ‘rude’ comments of customers venting their valid frustration’s for the game they’ve spent good money on. If customers aren’t getting answered/listened to then they’re going to talk like they’re not being listened to, perhaps with some “rudeness”….- mikeywellfan862 years agoSeasoned Hotshot
Been playing PES 2005 on the PS2 and even that had a toggle option for extended intros.
Over 18 years ago.
It's absolutely pathetic and at this point it seems like they would rather hold their nerve and * offline players off than admit they made a mistake.
The big picture ultimately is a move away from immersion to online play. Going back and replaying games from the 2000s, it really is stark how little love EA puts into its games these days.
Microtransactions and online pay-to-win have absolutely ruined the majority of games made today.
A lot of the broadcast lineup presentatiosn were updated for last-gen with title update 5.
Literally more content is beign added to the old-gen product and not the new-gen product. Ridiculous.
Those cut scenes are so pathetic, I knew they would wear off after a month. It lasted two days for me as that’s how long I gave the game before going back to the lesser crap 23. This is appalling EA.
And the cheek to warn us of spam, in a thread that hasn’t been addressed yet you mark as “solved” is a disgrace. There’s no spam, just a large number of angry loyal customers
Well imagine the audacity to give such a response after another weeks of silence. Apparently you guys aren't interested in collecting any feedbacks for career mode yet still don't have the courage to say it aloud. Sure making money is important and it works all fine only with UT, but that doesn't mean you can abandon other customers without any notice. The game itself is following capitalism and maybe that's natural, I can take it that way. Is the treatment we're receiving also legitimate though?

@EA_LeonSK *snip* you said "Unfortunately, there are no updates on this topic, but we always monitor your feedback and comments." What does it mean there is no update on this topic??? Do you think you solve the problem??? Why you guys are so lazy in fixing something, this must be your biggest problem to fix it immediately and you don't care about your fans. This is so rude and non respectful behavior form ea sports fc team. Again this problem must be fixed as soon as possible but you just take your time and even not responding to the posts, simply ignoring us. This game on old generation consoles is normal then why we can't have same thing on current generation consoles as well. So do something rush fc team to work on this issue, tell them fans are demanding it. I don't care if its extra work for the team, as a fan I pay for it and want normal game and you should not ignore it!!!

Everyone picture this…
It’s February, it’s the Carabao Cup Final. Manchester United v Liverpool. Two of the biggest clubs in world football, and the most bitter of rivals.
What an occasion!.. You press play. Fans line the streets outside Wembley, you start to feel a bit of an atmosphere. The screen cuts away as you anticipate seeing both teams lining up in the tunnel ready to enter the arena which will no doubt strike chords of you’ll never walk alone and United! United! United!
Yet this doesn’t happen… A weird montage of both teams playing each other shows on screen. What game is this from? Who knows, certainly not this one.
The screen goes black again… and we’re kicking off…
wait, what??? What happened? How could this happen? One of the biggest fixtures in world football, a cup final, and nothing?
How EA could EVER see that taking away the low level of immersion it offered to nothing was ever a good idea I don’t know.
I’d love to know what “feedback” was actually collated to make this bizarre decision. Better yet, I’d love to know how the fake “feedback” its said to have collated is more reliable than 130+ pages and over 1300 replies stating dissatisfaction at this horrendous blunder.
@EA_LeonSKIt is really funny that the request of the old players of the game for the return of the line-ups annoys you and you consider it rude and insulting, by the way, it is you who insult us with your imperfect product, I know what you want. By removing the line-ups, make the players give up on career mode and go to ultimate team, but you are very wrong.
I was one of the people who spent a lot of money on Ultimate Team every year and I played both UT and career mode and I loved these two game modes, but with this insult you made me not spend any more money on ultimate , your team's behavior is rude, I won't pay for developers who only care about their own pockets and don't care about our opinions.
👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻Stop ignoring the real problem here and reinstate the team introductions and lineups as they do on PS4!
I'll never play or buy another EAFC title ever again unless it is restored. Bringing it back for EAFC25 will not do. EA will have lost all my trust and respect by then!
My YouTube Friend has just messaged me and said the following..
"Hey mate, everyone seems to be really missing the pre-match animations and everything so I asked my contact in EA again and they have no plans to return them to the franchise and their main questions whenever we are on a call is always about Ultimate Team problems so they can fix them quickly than they focus on gameplay.. speaking to my contact, he did say that the reason why we won't see pre-match animations anymore is because they want the new-gen consoles to have a completely different feel than old-gen and the hardware on new-gen allows them to do this!"

- @MightyQuinn6747 Who’s your YouTube friend you keep talking about? Doesn’t really sound like he’s getting across to them just how stupid that is. “They want new-gen consoles to have a completely different feel than old-gen” sounds absolutely ridiculous on EA’s part.
So rather than adding more to new-gen on top of what was already in the game before they decide to strip the new-gen version of a staple feature; a staple feature not just of these games but football as a sport and replace them with some low effort cut scenes that don’t provide any atmosphere.
Great work EA!!! "They want new-gen consoles to have a completely different feel than old-gen.”
Well, they achieved that, but it is A LOT worse. What a joke!
