Complaint about lack of football boots in EA FC 25's Clubs mode

I would like to express my dissatisfaction with the drastic reduction in the variety of football boots available in EA FC 25's Clubs mode. As a loyal player of the franchise, I remember previous versions, such as FIFA 22, where there was a considerable amount of options, allowing players to Customize your athletes with much more freedom and style. Unfortunately, since FIFA 23, this diversity has started to diminish, and now, in EA FC 25, the situation seems to have gotten even worse.

Customization is a fundamental part of the Clubs mode experience, and the lack of boot options is a setback that directly impacts the immersion and enjoyment of creating a unique player. As a fan of the series, I expected an evolution in the variety of cosmetic items and player customization, not a regression.

  • Another game, another year of 3+ year old boots and none of the new releases being added or updated on any other game mode apart from Kick Off. 

    Doesn't update in Ultimate Team, doesn't update in Career Mode, and not available in Clubs where customisation is a unique selling point. But hey, at least you can buy dorky hairstyles, beards and EA branded boots that light up. 

    Any other sports franchise including even eFootball aren't this lazy amd/or lacking in attention to detail.

    Appreciate you passing it on. 

    But to be clear, the boots were are referring to is in the game. They are added in title updates, but not available in the boots catalogue for Clubs, where players are allowed to only use boots from the initial list of boots from launch. You can access the boots on edit player for any real life player and change them but this only works for Kick Off and Career Mode. 


    This never used to be a problem going all the way back to the first ever Pro Clubs mode over 10 years ago, and as recently as FIFA 22. 

    Even on Ultimate Team, pre-FIFA 22, there used to be exactly one refresh (post-January typically) where their real-life players’ boots were updated. Since then, players wear exactly the same boots from the start of the game until the end of the game 10-11 months later. From a content point of view, it becomes bland for those that pay attention to those details.

    It’s been two months since you said you would pass this message on. Now they have added yet another boot pack to the game, but still no new boots in clubs apart from one New Balance Endrick one. 

    Can you share why this problem has been reoccurring for 3 EA  titles consecutively now? 

    Do they simply not care about anything not around Ultimate Team?

    @GuskPang I tried two years ago, and last year as well, to get an answer as to why they made this decision (it is a decision, at the beginning of EA 25 there were all the new boots and they took them off of Clubs). I think they just don't care (both EA and the "moderators" in this forum). I even got a temporary ban from Darko last year trying to get an answer.

    Sorry guys, but the boots are last thing they should be working on. There are tons of other problems with this mode, lets get those issues sorted out before we start to worry about the boots that hardly anyone can see.

    Start a thread about them then. 

    This issue is probably the most easily solvable. As the boots are already in the game. It's just not available in clubs cos they do not update the catalogue.
