Was having some issue but figured out I wasn’t holding down x long enough. Now I noticed it actually gradually slides along the “activate evolution” on screen as you keep holding down x. As you get the whole way across the screen it activates. Hope this helps.

I am playing on Switch and I have the same problem.But unline in your case even though I am pressing X (on the switch in that case A) long enough and the "Activate" button gradually turns green the active EVO player does not change.

why won’t it let me select nuno da costa TOTW for the skills move trainining evo that’s about to expire? I have be. trying for two days now and it just makes a clicking sound but never starts the evo!?

Pressing and holding worked perfectly for me on PS5, thank you so much, it was really stressing me out!

Same here I'm trying to put Socrates in to evo on switch and it doesn't do anything.when I hold A it shows the a button appear next to start evo but doesn't do anything

That is good news. But to be honest: I don't know how to log into the Companion App. I never created a EA FC specific user and don't know which credentials to use. Can you help me here?

Recommends to use the companion app.
I would love to do just that. But I don’t know which credentials to use. When I use the credentials of my Nintendo Switch user (who is connected to my EA FC account), I get an error message.
Can anybody help please??

@EA_LeonSK Hi, I was not given the chance to hold down X as it says above, and when I clicked X my player evolved. I did not want this to happen and I want my player to go back to the level 2 stage. How can this be done?

What happens when you try to hold the Activation Button? It doesn't start the evolution.

Any updates on the issue. There have been quite some replies that are not working even if the activation button is pressed for a long time.
This issue is real and it really kills my fun and excitement for the game. And that for nearly two weeks now.
5 Evos lost … tomorrow it will be 6.

Seriously??
Now you release a new card series (Future Stars) that is specifically featured around evolutions?? Guys, perhabs you should fix evolutions first so that everybody can use them again!!
This is getting more and more frustrating. And virtually nothing happens!! Wake up please!! There is a serious bug that keeps many players from enjoying your game.
