Server requirement and Turk icon players

Subject: Feedback and Suggestions from a Long-Time FIFA / FC Player

Dear EA SPORTS FC Team,

I have been playing football games published by Electronic Arts since 1995, including the FIFA and FC series. I am 47 years old and have been a loyal player for many years.

First of all, I would like to say that the game is fantastic. It is highly realistic and requires knowledge, intelligence, strategy, and skill. I would like to share three suggestions that I believe would improve the experience for many players.

1. Server Location in Türkiye

The number of people playing EA SPORTS FC in Türkiye is very high and continues to grow every year. However, we experience significant latency and ping issues because there is no local server in the country. Many Turkish players, including competitive and esports players, would like to see a server established in Ankara, the capital of Türkiye. This would greatly improve the online gaming experience for a large player base.

2. Turkish Football Legends Deserve Icon Status

Türkiye has produced many legendary footballers who have achieved remarkable success on the international stage. Players such as Hakan Şükür (holder of the fastest goal in FIFA World Cup history and part of the team that finished third in the 2002 World Cup), Oktay Derelioğlu, Emre Belözoğlu, Arda Turan, Tugay Kerimoğlu, Sergen Yalçın, Tanju Çolak (European Golden Shoe winner), and Lefter Küçükandonyadis are football icons for millions of fans.

Despite this, we still do not see Turkish Icons in the game, while some players from countries with much less football history and international success are included as Icons. As loyal customers who purchase the game every year, it is disappointing not to see Turkish football legends represented. This situation unfortunately reduces our enthusiasm and motivation to continue buying the game annually.

3. Too Many Versions of the Same Player

Another concern is the large number of special cards released for the same players throughout the year. While these cards are exciting, they can make the game feel less realistic over time.

I believe it would be more immersive and authentic if the game started with mostly Bronze and Silver players during the first month of the cycle, gradually introducing Gold and special cards as the season progresses. This would create a stronger sense of progression and maintain a more realistic football experience.

Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback. I appreciate the hard work that goes into developing EA SPORTS FC and hope these suggestions can contribute to making the game even better for players around the world.

Kind regards,

Türkiye
