My kid (11years) cannot play EA FC24 Ultimate team as he can not logon to EA server due to too strict parental controls. I have tried to disable Playstation parental controls temporarily, but is doe...

You have to be 13 to play online. (I am assuming you're on playstation?) I'd suggest changing the date of birth on EA's website in account settings, or changing the PS/Xbox account age to bypass this. For some reason parental controls don't work with EAFC 24. Hope this helps 🙂
Same problem here and supporting orig. post.
Parental controls were able to temporary shut down for earlier FIFA's 23 or 22 and child could play FUT.
No help or resolution from Sony/PS or EA yet.
@konekondeI have already posted a solution above
Should be an age limit on FUT to be honest.
16 or maybe even 18.
Not really a game for young impressionable children.
There are many other far more suitable modes that don't involve microtransactions, loot boxes and the encouragement of toxic behaviour.
- @Anonymous there is an age limit, in the UK it is 13.
If you are under the age of 13 however you need your parent to grant you access to online content selectively.
The issue is that even when this access is provided, and despite EA confirming that they follow the parental control restrictions set at the console level, it does not grant the child access to online play modes.
This is only the case on PS4, is not an issue on PS5, and was never an issue with FIFA22 or FIFA23
- @DanFUTJames this is not a solution, this is not even a workaround. I have tried using an EA account with a teen DOB and a PS child account and this does not work. It is in no parent's interests to create a 13+ PS account for a child as this removes parental restriction setings which a parent would otherwise want to set on a child account.
The game is PEGI-3 rated so should be able to be launched by everyone 3yrs old or older, it is not possible to even launch the game on PS4 unless your age rating is set to 12+ (I don't want my child to have permanent access to 12+ games yet)
A child PS account cannot be granted access to play FC24 online (UT, Seasons, etc) whatsoever, even if all parental restrictions are temporarily removed completely, despite EA telling us that they follow the parental control settings configured on the console.
