Can't select portman Raod

Glad to hear you can use Portman Road in Kick Off matches, which confirms that the stadium has been pre-loaded into the game database. Personally, only access the game on Xbox Series X/S, and do not have either option to select the stadium. My expectation is that the game requires a separate squad update to activate the stadium in both Kick Off and career mode, and hopefully will be made available later this afternoon. Squad updates are generally released between 3:30 p.m. and 9:00 p.m., and until then, the stadium will remain 'locked', however, there is no guarantee that the squad update will arrive today. Along with the stadium, there should be new third kit options activated, including those for Aston Villa, PSG, Barcelona, Real Sociedad, and additionally, fourth kit options for up to seven Bundesliga clubs. On a side note, did notice after Title Update 4, that the away jersey option (white) for Aston Villa has been patched, in Kick Off matches at least, where the 'Betano' logo appears in the correct color scheme, instead of white lettering on a white jersey. That is the only change noticed so far, until the release of the accompanying squad update.

Ah, that makes sense, Will I have to start a new career to use Portman Road? 

Honestly, do not remember if a new career mode save is required. If you have a longstanding save ongoing, then perhaps test before deleting. As a habit, I always begin a new save after every Title or squad update to avoid any complications. In addition to the new stadium and kit options, there should be new face scans, which will require a new career mode save.

Portman Road can now be used in career mode! 😁

Fair point about long term career mode saves. Have not definitively proven whether Title Update additions for new stadiums and kits are applied to existing career modes. Personally, every year the game is released, I only test game settings, slider adjustments, tactics, etc., until November when the majority of third kits are added. With Portman Road stadium now in game, tomorrow morning is the first chance with starting a comprehensive long term career mode save in the Premier League for me. Frankly, with the delayed release of Kenilworth Road last year (mid April if I remember properly), was not expecting to be at this point on November 5th, the earliest release of a stadium in the history of FIFA or EA FC. Would be interested in your feedback regarding the inclusion or omission of the new third kits and stadium in your existing career mode save for future reference.

is it in ultimate team? Portman road
