Request to Improve Squad Battles and Add Offline Knockout Mode in FC 26
Dear EA SPORTS FC Development Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
As loyal fans of the Squad Battles mode in Ultimate Team, we are writing to express a growing concern among many offline players. In FC 24, players were able to enjoy up to 40 Squad Battles matches per week, allowing for extended engagement and meaningful progress. However, in FC 25, we noticed that this number has been reduced to only 20 matches per week.
This change has negatively affected our experience, as many of us complete all available matches within the first two days of the week, leaving the rest of the time without any way to earn points or rewards. This leads to boredom and disconnection from a mode that we genuinely love.
We respectfully request the following:
- Restore or increase the number of Squad Battles matches per week.
- Ideally, make the mode unlimited, rewarding players based on the number of matches they complete.
- Allow players who invest more time and effort to receive better and more valuable rewards.
These changes would greatly enhance the experience for those of us who prefer offline gameplay against the AI. Many players choose Squad Battles as their main mode, and we feel that our needs are being overlooked in recent updates.
Please understand that this feedback comes from a place of genuine loyalty. I have already pre-ordered FC 26 and have been a dedicated fan of the franchise for years. We sincerely ask the development team not to disappoint the offline player community and to show us that our voices matter.
Lastly, we would also love to see the addition of a new knockout-style tournament mode (like a single-player “elimination bracket”) within Ultimate Team, fully offline and against AI opponents. This would add depth and variety and give players more to look forward to each week.
Thank you for your time and attention. We truly hope our requests will be taken seriously.
Sincerely,
[A Loyal FC Fan & Pre-order Customer]
