Thank you, everyone, for reporting the issues you're experiencing with offline gameplay on your console. The Series X requires an internet connection only for installation and game updates. Could you please confirm if you had a connection available when you installed the game to ensure all necessary updates were included?

If you are not able to launch any offline game modes after installing the game and updates, please share a link to a video example from your account, and we will further investigate this for you. Thank you!

@EA_Pulsar When I first install the game on Xbox and do the updates, my internet is on. There is no problem with that. Right now, the latest update is installed. However, when I try to enter the game when I don't have internet or I have turned it off by myself, I get this warning. "You must be logged in to the xbox network and EA servers to access the online features in this game" In other words, I can't even enter the game to play offline games like career or kick-off when I don't have internet... In other words, the game doesn't open from the beginning. This problem didn't exist in FC 24. Even if I didn't have an internet connection, I could enter the game and play offline modes.
