Offline Tournaments Mode Request in FC 26 Ultimate Team

Dear EA SPORTS FC Development Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I would like to kindly request that you consider adding an offline Tournaments mode to Ultimate Team in FC 26. Many players, including myself, enjoy playing against the AI rather than online opponents, and currently, the Squad Battles mode alone does not offer enough variety or long-term engagement for offline players.

Ultimate Team is a fantastic mode, but the options for offline gameplay are very limited. Adding an offline knockout-style Tournaments mode would bring more depth and replayability for a large part of the community that prefers playing against the CPU.

Please take this request seriously, as many players around the world share the same sentiment. Offline content is still a valuable and enjoyable part of the FUT experience, and we hope to see more attention given to it in future updates.

Thank you for your time and continued support of the FC community.

    Hello Headar555​ 

    Thank you, I really hope that they have not completely neglected us again. We aren't asking to take anything away from multiplayer, and I think everyone should support this. It doesn't hurt anyone, and it helps the currently disadvantaged players. We too are loyal customers, who pay the same price for the game. We haven't broken any rules, terms or conditions. We should not be forced to either play online multiplayer or not enjoy our experience. 

    And respectfully, I don't understand arguments against it. Not REQUIRING multiplayer modes for success does not force anyone to play single player modes if they don't want to. We need it to be recognized that this game should be fun and exciting for anyone who purchased (or was gifted it), in any way they choose to play, unless it violates policy. 

    Maybe a Venn diagram style example will help for those who disagree: 

    This is the access to the game for the players, adding more single player modes would only expand the center. This is essential to make the game fair and accessible to all. 

    All the best to you!

  • Hello 1a2Z3c4k,

    Thank you for your detailed and respectful response — I truly appreciate the way you expressed your thoughts.

    You summed up the situation perfectly. We’re not asking to take anything away from multiplayer fans; we’re simply calling for fairness and more inclusive access for all types of players. Your Venn diagram example clearly illustrates the core issue and makes a compelling case.

    I also fully agree with your point — success in the game shouldn’t be tied to mandatory online multiplayer. Many players, including loyal and paying customers, prefer offline gameplay for various reasons, and they deserve equal support and attention.

    Thanks again for standing with the community and voicing what many of us feel. Hopefully, EA will finally listen this year.

    To the development team, if you’re reading this: Have you heard the community’s call? FC 26 is the perfect opportunity to bring back Offline Tournaments Mode. We sincerely ask that you add and enable this mode officially in FC 26 to make the gameplay experience more enjoyable and diverse. A large portion of the player base now prefers playing against AI, and this addition would motivate many more players to purchase the game and enjoy it offline. It’s time to make the game fair, fun, and accessible to everyone.
