My issue is the inability to get access to the transfer market in any capacity in-game.

Can the requirement to play Rush games be removed from the "Venturing Out" Foundation objective be removed so at least transfer market access can be granted? It's pretty insane that a broken feature is preventing access to other features of the game over a month after release.

I am also facing the same issue and recently they updated the game but still I cant find any teammates for the rush game to complete the objectives and unlock the transfer market. FC 26 is lossing money here and they need to understand this.

Same issue, with a lot of difficulty yesterday I was able to gather 4 people(including me) in Rush mode but then the game starts searching for another team and finds none. I even tried before this broadening the search in settings for not only people close to me.Please EA, fix your game making it possible for example to play Rush against IA to unlock transfer market. The gameplay is great, the graphics are beautiful but this is just not acceptable. Please, fix it ASAP.

Issues with Transfer Market Access and Rush Game Modes on Nintendo Switch 2

Here's yet another report of being unable to unlock the transfer market in-game as a Nintendo Switch 2 player. Has anyone from EA or the community been able to fix this, or know why these features might not be working?

Details below

=====

I’ve been playing EA Sports FC 26 Ultimate Team on Nintendo Switch 2 for about a month now, and I still don’t have access to a couple of major features — the Transfer Market and Rush game modes.

I’ve contacted EA Support multiple times, and the only response I’ve received is that the issue has been reported to the internal team. I was basically told to wait and hope the developers address it, with no way to track the case.

Here’s what’s going on:

I’ve played extensively and reached Level 40 in Season 1, so I’ve clearly met normal progression requirements.
The Transfer Market remains locked, and the in-game objective to unlock it requires me to complete Rush game mode objectives.
The problem with Rush is that whenever I try to find teammates, I never find any, so the matchmaking never completes and I can’t play the mode at all. Because of this, I also can’t complete the objective needed to unlock the Transfer Market.

I’ve also seen other forum posts describing the same issues on Nintendo Switch 2, and they don’t appear to have been resolved yet:

Same issue Dec9 and no fix available, are they refunding the money? this game looks like an unfinished demo full of sponsored ads, I’ve been a Fifa player since 2000 and this is ridiculous

This is still happening, we had a party of 4 and never could find any people to play against. Let us use the transfer market, remove the stupid Objective since it’s broken. You guys not fixing this, is making people buy more gems to buy more cards for play to win. I get the greed but come on!
