About the newly added teams

Hi EA FC Sports Team, I've been downloading the update of FC 26 on my Switch 2 and found out that several new teams have been added recently, in anticipation of the biggest tournament there is. But I wanted to ask, given that sometimes I would play the game without internet connections and all, and because of the Switch and Switch 2 nature that can be played outside, can these teams become playable offline in future updates? And I also noticed that certain national teams didn't play their national anthems (like Indonesia, for example, even though I'm grateful for this team to be added), so I'd like these anthems to be added as well. Thanks in advance.

    Yes EA_Darko​, that's the one! I hope these will be improved soon and become playable even when in Airplane mode/without internet, thanks 😀

    It would be great if that is the case StarryWindy​ and I would hope that it is.

    If there are any updates I can share with you, I will.

    Update: I think I've found something that eased my worries a bit if it comes to playing offline. I was reminded on how FC 26 and its previous games had a feature to download update straight to the database, so I decided to try that (by going to Settings > Edit Teams > Download Updates), and the new national teams are playable offline without enabling live rosters!

    But I think it's kinda strange that I have to apply this workaround, because some sports games that I often played (including past FIFA Switch titles like FIFA 18*) often have roster changes embedded on each update versions, which is why I find it confusing that I have to add this workaround because I find a certain player still in a certain team in FC 26 (on my Switch 2) despite of already transferring to others IRL (if the live rosters are off, and I used this toggle a lot). Maybe this can be improved in FC 27, probs?

    And one more thing: I still noticed the lack of "Indonesia Raya" anthem when playing as Indonesian team despite of recent 1.6.1 update on Switch 2...

    (* Note: I didn't check on rosters of FC 24-FC 25 on my Switch, so I'm not sure if the same applies to these two games or not.)
