Grip/Cut Socks Customisation

** REPOSTING FROM FC24 & FC25 GENERAL DISCUSSION AS THERE HAS BEEN NO RESPONSE FROM EA **

I just can’t understand why EA hasn’t added grip/cut socks to the customisation options.

Nearly all players wear these now, but the only option is the old-style ankle tape. No one wears the single strip of ankle tape anymore.

It’s something so simple, but it takes away from the authenticity and realism of the game for me the fact it isn’t there on all game modes.

I’ve included some image examples of it in real life, but also of the Manchester City ultimate team kit….which has them included in it? So the ability is already there. It should be applied across the whole game. 

Please EA, for FC26, give the option and get with the times!!! It has been something in the game of football for a long time now. 

The fact the community need to prompt something like this and you haven’t just watched a game of football/soccer to see it’s everywhere is quite sad.

I hope this is taken seriously and implemented for the new game release!

    I don't understand it either lmao EA can easily make such an incredible career mode, and they just.... don't lmfao. Also why the hell do you have to put ankle tape on before every single match day!!! It's so laughably bad, I wonder when they will actually try to make a realistic game

    Agree mate! We need a Short Wrist Tape option too as currently we STILL only have Long Tape and players STILL wear Sweatbands instead 🤦🏻‍♂️

     Create/Edit Real Players edit modes need a complete revamp! We should be able to edit EVERYTHING from Cold Weather Gear, PlayStyles, Potential Stat etc..

    IT'S SO SIMPLE TO ADD THIS IN THE GAME, A LOT OF MODS HAVE THIS. COME ON EA, IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THIS SIMPLE THING IN THE GAME.

    My new copy of FC26 arrived…and shocked, there’s no grip/cut socks. Unfortunately losing the motivation to keep raising it.

    That’s a few years I’ve asked, as I’m sure others have. 

    EA literally asks for feedback in the game, then when it’s given, it’s ignored. What a waste of time and disappointment.

    I'd rather working objectives , working game modes etc etc etc than what socks my player has on to be honest

    Yes…and all of those things should be true and happen. Just because you want certain things, doesn’t mean other people can’t have theirs. Isn’t all or nothing.

    It’s the principle that this is something nearly every player wears. Meaning they are ignoring glaringly obvious characteristics which should be replicated for authenticity.

    It’s clearly wanted by the community, otherwise people wouldn’t make their own mods for it on PC.

    Also it’s a feedback forum, so I’m doing just that, feeding back. It’s something simple to resolve versus gameplay mechanics.
