FC26: The continued NEGLECT of REALISTIC Game Modes e.g. Create A Club and more

PART I of 2

I pre ordered FC26 again this year because I was optimistic that the EAFC Team would have upgraded and fixed up each game mode from the year before to make it better than the year before eg FC25.

It's been over 2 months since release, and it appears once again that EA SPORTS still don't care about the people who pay them good money to play the realistic football game modes. 

For example: CREATE A CLUB

Look, I know it's not for everyone, and that's fine, but where is the respect for people's money, whether you are saving up enough just to buy the game, or you are spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on Ultimate Team EVERY PERSON should matter and therefore EVERY GAME MODE should matter too.

MAIN ISSUES (see examples attached):

• FC26 has seen the return of the GOALKEEPER TEAM KIT LOGO BUG (a bug found in FC25).
• If that's not enough, the MANAGER TEAM LOGO doesn't appear to be working either.
• In addition a good portion of the MANAGER CLOTHING looks UNREALISTIC and RIDICULOUS.
• Lastly, there have been little to NO UPGRADES [For example: LOGOS; COLOURS: GK JERSEYS]. People on Console eg PS5 are left with 'what we get' (no mods), and we deserve better.

Note: Please don't be confused by the data. People haven't stopped playing this game mode because they don't want to play it, they've stopped because you won't UPGRADE IT!! It's one of the best inclusions made to EAFC over the years, and it not only needs to stay, but it needs to be expanded.

PART 2 of 2

Have EA SPORTS improved the AUTHENTIC gameplay? Yes.

Have EA SPORTS added some obvious features to Career Mode that people have spent years & years of asking for? Yes.

Are EA SPORTS still disregarded and disrespecting a large percentage of their customers by ignoring upgrades & fixes to game modes that customers paid for because they prioritise online gaming and micro transactions over those of us who still appreciate playing a real game of football? YES.

After years of investing in this company across multiple sports... if I don't see a conscious effort being made to improve (and fix) the very game modes that are supposed to be the FOUNDATION for FC 26 (Manager & Player Career Mode/Create A Club), then it's very likely that FC26 will be my last.

As much as I want to continue, I can't keep going into each year with this kind of optimism, investing my money, only to be reminded once again that EA SPORTS doesn't treat everybody equal, that some game modes get priority over others, and that despite wanting to appear inclusive on the surface, that this is all about money at the end of the day, and not the people who have helped build the foundations of this GREAT COMPANY over many many years.

If anyone reads this, I hope it resonates with you and that we see a positive change soon.
