Does EA actually listen

short answer, no lol 

Open up the edit modes at least ( ps5 )so we can edit the game players etc mods make this game an Embarrassment its now so outdated alot of players need lick.off paint , faces ,hairstyles ,penalty styles  , goal keeper kit changes , different kitoptions to stop clashing . Why cant we choose or update the refs too .Im telling younthis lot are so lazy if you can't be bothered then let us do it it is part of the enjoyment of the game being able to update it .

"Big Fat No"  is the answer to your question. I agree there are many in game issues that have been reported countless times, yet they are still there. EA seem to be more interested in all the fancy stuff that goes with promo's etc. There is far too much wrong with this years game, and it doesn't look like owt is going to be done any time soon unfortunately.

Here's a hot take: EA don't need to listen to most of the issues players bring up or report. They already know when issues pop up before anyone says anything. The actual problem is how pathetically slow EA are at actually fixing bugs in a timely fashion. Sometimes there are bugs that they just outright ignore for years because, according to them, they're not priorities.

EA doesn't care what you have to say.

That's why I've been telling everyone I know not to buy this game. It's a waste of time and money.

This game is so bad, I'm considering avoid ALL future EA games (Not just EA Sports FC).

It'll soon become a priority when there sales are down because people finally give up buying, hopefully that becomes a reality one day, I haven't paid full price for a fifa game in about a decade, sometimes miss a year as they haven't been worth 50% of full price for a long time. 

Unfortunately its the cash cow of FuT that  made them ignore and half **bleep** the games in my opinion 

When you say ea don't need to listen to listen to thier community why then do they say in thier reveal trailers we listen ??? Clearly they don't so is that fraud  ?? If you tell some one to buy a product and its not what they promised that's fraud right ?? They tell us they constantly fix the issues but I still got a main one the reply bug the kick off bug where ai boots ball into touch if that happens I turn game off because I know what comes next game turns to crud . So where are these ea employees who make this game why are they not here ?? .

I'm sure their team of lawyers used some "shifty" language that meets the minimum legal requirements.

For example, if you preordered the game, they stated that you would have "UP TO 1 week of access before the official launch." That's why they were protected when it was a complete disaster during the preorder launch.

The best thing we can do is avoid supporting these companies in the future. I only hope one of these indie game developers can create something close to what "FIFA" used to be (licensing agreements or not).

Chadders987​  Yes they listen. But they are listening to peaoples with gaming experience, not the peaoples with real football experience. The game has removed far away from the real thing. Fifa was not exelent, but still mutch more realistic than this.
