Bring back The Journey since you quietly got rid of Volta/3v3,Manager/Player etc

A new game...same price if not more - Less features.

Back since 2006 I have been asking EA, letters, emails and even phone calls to one of their head offices to bring Co-op Manager mode to the game, not only is their a big gap in the market for such a feature, there are also a lot of gamers whom still play CM 01/02 with updated DB's to be able to play seasons with their friends and manage transfers. Around 2012, I realised that EA does not listen to their fans, customers - you know the people that actually provide your income, so I gave up. Each year the same game gets released with new (broken/refreshed) features with a few cosmetic changes here and there but still the same churned game.

Now we have EA FC26....Looks great but in 2026 we are still having manager or player interviews miming from multiple choice options. We still have generic manager designs back from FIFA 15 and glitches with Kick Off Data not linking, replay cameras now just showing the centre circle and more (Which I have posted in Bugs).

Just when they finally fix issues, like in EAFC 25, its around this time the new game comes out and you a basically paying for an updated Database and a few tweaks for £70+. Yesterday I only just noticed that EA have quietly removed Volta and 3v3 for more shrinkflation. Same game, same price if not more, less features.

What I don't understand, with the game engine that EA use for this series, why is their not more cinematics? More tense moments? In the end, you are playing on a pitch back and forth without much drama for the beautiful game. I also gave the idea to have a studio half time analysis talk with our favourite pundits, doesn't have to be great yet, but better than just a menu to restart the match. Again, why don't they bring back The Journey, you could make it semi-open world, travelling from home, to training pitches, stadium or events - It had so much potential, it was predictable but curveballs could be added. Add scandals, or decisions that would impact your career as a player.

Currently the game is, menu, first half, menu, second half, menu, repeat.

Really thought things would be different once the game changed from FIFA to EA FC, but it's exactly the same. Just like a very well known shooter game out there, if there is no competition, why should they care?
