Local Guests Pro Clubs Feature for League Matches and Cup Matches

Dear EA Sports Team, 

I saw the new recent updates to this game and I'm pleased. That feedback was listened too. Also, I am a dedicated player of EA Sports FC 26 on PS5 and enjoy playing Rivals and Ultimate Team modes with local player guests in same household. I would like to kindly request a feature that allows up to 3 local players (Guests) to join on the same console in for pro clubs as well for a future update to this game (ideally soon). This can be done. Three guests join the primary user for 4 players, but not only that, if other people live in a different house, let's say 3 other people, those users can join the team as well and etc until the 11 players max for the lineup. Max of 11 players, different households, and local guests involved so multiple people in different households can ultilize local guests to join the team rather than having strictly 1 username per console. Also, finding a way how to store his or her pro on the console so it can be easily loaded and uploaded in the match lobby.

 

Currently, the game supports only the primary user and playing friends on their different console which limits the ability to enjoy for individuals who can only afford 1 console in the same household on not have the ability to have another console in the same household for any other reason. I think pro clubs local guests would be an extremely appreciated move by a good amount of people so family members or friends can play pro clubs on the same console, same tv. It would be fun playing in the same setting pro clubs and make it so much fun. This is acheivable. The only thing would be the camera for players to track their pro but it would be disabled if local guests is introduced in pro clubs (like division rivals and fut draft). But when local guests isnt being used, the camera would still be active so the indivudual playing clubs with other indviduals on their consoles (how it is now), can still track his or her pro with the camera. 

Please consider this EA! If this ends up as a future update, this will be appreciated by so many people.

    Since Fifa15, I used to remember playing clubs on that Friday night after school with my buddy and I and unfortunately could not include our friend. The reason was that we are not gifted with finances and can’t afford a PlayStation each. Having this feature, alongside having the player's INV camera zoom in feature optional for the same set of users, would increase pro clubs performance and player-base engagement by a near 50%. Very effective concern John and I hope EA comes to fix this everlasting issue.

  • Yes. Most likely no goalkeeper unless there's a small visual map on the field so the individual controlling the goalie can see where he or she is positioned on the map if local guests is being used. But that no goalie would be ok if guests is added, that would be fine if ea decided that on their end. I've playing since 2016 clubs and would be truly mindblowing if this gets done after pro clubs was first introduced. This would bring pro clubs to a different level playing with people physically next to me in person. Imagine the fun. 

  • This has been one of my most wished for features since I started playing back in 2012!

    Just to add some to the idea:

    • It would be amazing if you could simply log into your PSN/Xbox account on your friend's console, and retrieve your own pro, gain XP and stats, and
    • You should be able to have an additional 3 'guest' pros stored locally on the console, in the event that you have 3 friends who, who do not own their own console.

    Playing as a goalkeeper should probably not be possible when you have guests added though.

    If you need a monetary argument for this feature, it's simple. If I was to go to a friend's place, and play this gamemode with them for the first time, it wouldn't take much for me to take the next step and buy the game myself, so I can continue when I get back home.

    Please add this! 🤞
