EA Sports FC25 game not playable without internet connection on Xbox

 All we want is to be able to play career or offline matches when there is no internet.

Of course I accept that an internet connection is required when downloading the game for the first time or when we play it for the first time. But why is an internet connection required if I am going to play offline career or kick-off? Please remove this requirement @EA_Barry

If that’s truly the case then why are ps5 and pc able to play offline and its segregated to xbox. because for us who stay in countries where data is expensive we are now suffering

I can't believe i paid that much money but i can't even play the game offline while playstion users are able to do it just finely.

what a waste !.

This issue will be resolved with the update. I hope it will not be ignored.

Funny! So even if my connection is OK, but your servers are KO, I cant play. But hey, who cares. We are EA, we are making billions anyway. But you did it! This is last fc/fifa I ever bought and I am buying Fifia from 2000. 

It full of 2-3years old bugs, unplayable, doesnt work even if you check all requirements and if you have PC, then you are totally screwed.  

I am really thinking about suing EA. The problems that you ignore for years and bullying you are doing against users is reaching unbearable state. For 70€ every year non functional game.  

I downloaded the latest update today. The same problem still persists. It does not allow access to the game without internet. Nothing has been done about this. It is unbelievable. I was going to break my xbox series x out of anger.

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!
