Pro Clubs Players Deserve Better Customization – Boots, Hairstyles, and More

Dear EA Team,

I’m writing this on behalf of the Pro Clubs community who have been dealing with the same frustrations year after year. At this point, players feel ignored, and it’s time this mode gets the respect it deserves.

Boots Issue

For years now, Career Mode and Create-a-Player have always received the full selection of real-life boots and live updates, while Pro Clubs gets left behind. In Clubs:

• New boots that get added elsewhere never appear for us.
• Some boots that were available at launch are even removed later on.
• We’re stuck with a handful of generic EA boots that don’t look good or realistic.

Clubs is the mode where people spend hundreds of hours building their Virtual Pros. Looks matter. Boots are part of a player’s identity, and it doesn’t make sense that Clubs players get fewer options than every other mode.

Ankle Tape

Another missing feature is ankle tape. This is a small detail, but it makes a huge difference for realism and immersion. It’s been requested for years, yet it still isn’t available in Clubs. Pro Clubs is all about expressing yourself, so why are we missing something this basic?

Club Store vs Real-Life Gear

We also want to highlight the Club Store. While there’s lots of content there, most of it is not what players actually want. We don’t care about generic EA-made boots and random designs — we want the real-life boots that already exist in other modes. Put all those authentic boots in Clubs. Let the Club Store be for cosmetics, but boots should never be restricted or replaced with fake designs.

Hairstyles and Player Customization

The hairstyle catalog in Clubs and Career Mode has basically been the same for five years. Meanwhile, generic players in the game have updated hairstyles that we cannot even select for our Virtual Pros. If the hairstyles are already in the game, why can’t we access them?

Pro Clubs is about identity and self-expression, yet players are stuck with outdated, unrealistic hairstyles that nobody wants to use. We need:

• Access to all hairstyles in the game, including the ones on generic faces.
• Regular new hairstyle updates, just like you do for boots.
• Better realism so players can recreate themselves or real footballers accurately.

The hairstyles we’ve been given for years are poor quality, unrealistic, and frustrating. The community has been asking for more variety for too long.

Evidence in Images

The attached images show exactly what we mean:

• The boots shown with the Lyon kit are Clubs boots.
• The boots shown with the Man City kits are available in Career Mode, Create-a-Player, and Kick-Off, but not in Clubs.
• You’ll also see generic faces with hairstyles that players cannot access in Clubs or Career Mode.

If these assets already exist in the game, there’s no reason why they can’t be available in Pro Clubs.

Final Message – Fix It Now, Not Later

This issue has been around since FIFA 22/23. At the very least, Clubs players should have all the same boots, hairstyles, and customization options as Career Mode and Create-a-Player. We should also be able to customize boot colors, just like other gaming franchises allow.

Please don’t wait until FC 27 to fix this. This is the start of FC 26, and it’s the perfect time to show Pro Clubs players that you value this community. Add the missing boots, improve hairstyles, bring in ankle tape, and give us the customization we deserve.

We know this can be done, and it will only make people play Clubs more. If you make these changes, the community will genuinely appreciate it, and it will prove that EA is listening to the players who have supported this mode for years.

Pro Clubs players are frustrated, but we’re also hopeful. Please make these changes now.
