Remove current Division and Playoffs from Clubs.

Is there hope that the Division system in Clubs Mode will be changed, especially with more than a month left before the launch of FC 26?

The beta is expected to be released in the coming days, but it is not the final version of the game, which means there is still room for adjustments.

Therefore, for me, I’m asking for a revision of the Division system and the removal of Playoffs from Clubs Mode. I want the old Division system back, like in FIFA 23 and 22 etc. Why?

Well, first of all, in the old Division system, players were rewarded when they advanced to higher divisions. Once you earned a specific number of points, you received the division title, and there were cutscenes showing the trophy celebration with your team. This made players feel that their efforts were truly rewarded.

Reaching Division 1 — the top division in the old system — required a high number of points, which increased competitiveness between clubs. And again, the trophy celebration cutscenes boosted the feeling of achievement. Players could proudly show off the number of trophies they had earned. A club with many Division 1 trophies was considered a great club, full of elite players, and ranked high on the Clubs leaderboard.

That system was amazing because it allowed players to win titles and play daily against different clubs at the highest competitive levels. The old Division system was truly great in every sense of the word.

As for the current Playoffs system — it’s very poor.

The Playoff event happens only once a month. There are no trophy celebration cutscenes. Even when you reach the Elite Division — the highest division — there is nothing to fight for. No trophy, no point target, nothing. You just wait for the Playoffs to return. This discourages players from playing league matches daily and removes the excitement.

That’s why most teams now rely on groups and communities on platforms like Telegram and Discord, where there are more than 50,000 players just for Clubs Mode. These groups were originally used to find available players with certain stats and roles.

Now, however, these groups have started organizing external tournaments and friendly matches just for fun, because they don’t like the current Division or Playoff system. As a result, the top competitive teams don’t even play in league or Elite Division matches anymore — they just play externally organized friendly matches.

This has made Clubs Mode boring and less competitive compared to before, when all those clubs used to fight for the Division 1 title.

So, I really hope that the Playoff system gets removed and the old Division system is brought back to revive Clubs Mode again.

  • I feel exactly the same, as do a lot of other people, from what i can gather from feedback online. I just really hope they listen.

    its one of the main reasons my club stopped playing last season.

    The playoffs etc. make it so boring and tedious and not worth playing, where as the ten games adds a layer of excitement and makes each game worth while.

    Knowing EA they won't listen and will just keep the same crappy system, but we shall we wait and see.

    I honestly don’t think it’s something difficult. It’s just a simple change to the Division system and the Club menus, and adding a few cutscenes. I don’t think that would be a problem for the developers — especially since there’s still over a month left before the game releases. Other games are able to push updates, add features, and make changes all the time. So why is it with EA we have to wait a whole year just for a small adjustment? I know they won’t listen to us, despite what they promote in their ads and videos about “listening to the community.” I don’t think the Division system will change this year — but I still have hope. At the end of the day, why am I even asking for this as a player? Because I want to enjoy the game and play it more. If they don’t care, then a lot of players like me and you will just end up bored.

    I really am surprised more people aren't talking about this to be honest.

    Everyone i've spoken to is in favor of the old system returning :(
