EA Sports FC 27 Launch Feedback Update: Zero Timeline for Patch Releases

Question

Internal testing by EA developers have known about these gamebreaking issues for five months, even before closed beta version of the game was released. Now, one month after Early Access release, they have publically acknowledged the primary issues with the game, however, no timeline has been offered for when to expect the patch releases. Thousands or millions of dedicated Manager Career mode players have played the game for less than ten hours total, since September 17th, and have now uninstalled the game awaiting singnificant repairs to the game mode. In addition, between the elements listed in the article yesterday, Career Mode Beta Feedback report weeks ago, Trello Board, and both Title Updates released with some variant of patches for career mode (1.0.3 and 1.0.4), only about half of the issues are listed as 'Under Investigation'.

Game elements not reported or supposedly patched, which do function as intended.

Dynamic OVR causes players to demand Crucial or Important roles within months of starting a new Manager Career mode save, even when at the start, are listed as Sporadic or Rotational.
Inability to resign scouted youth or existing squad players to contract extension.
Broken youth scouting reports and no ability to recall or send scout to other countries after final black report has been issued.
Disable Pitch Wear career mode setup menu option does not function, and after ten matches, pitches become destroyed from gameplay and weather.
Zero significant changes to Player Career mode or Create-a-Club with legacy issues persisting for numerous years; i.e. Create-a-Club goalkeeper jersey logo glitch, now into the third year of being glitched.
Team Management sheet does not save reserve bench player configuration, reverts to random settings when exiting the sheet.
CPU Teammate Behavior sliders reset to default (50) levels everytime exiting career mode back to main game dashboard, or shutting down device.
Main game Club Transfer system still producing either duplicate players that are hardcoded to Classix XI or national teams, or player remains in the squad after a move to Free Agency/another club.
Inability to assign a squad number to loaned in players.

This is just an abbreviated listing of the numerous career mode issues, personally tired of listing them every week. If any EA developers care to review other postings in this forum, there probably are dozens more that are not listed as under investigation.

Are any of these gamebreaking issues going to be corrected in the next two weeks, or do we have to wait, until mid November or December to start just the first Manager Career mode save with minimal bugs and glitches?

Brother I will bet you a copy of EA FC 28 that they don't do a single thing about any of this. They release the same game with a new paint of coat every year, do you really think bugfixes on legacy gamemodes even register to anyone? It's a shame, and the most frustrating part is that a lot of these bugs can only be found after playing the game long enough to void your refund.

I mean this with all my heart: if you are a project manager on this game, you should be ashamed of your poor work. You advertised attention and effort on Manager Career mode and did not deliver. This is my first full price purchase of an EA game since FIFA 14, I will never purchase anything EA makes again.

CinKid73​ are you also experiencing a lot of difficulty passing the ball and creating plays against the AI on World Class, Legendary and Ultimate? The ball control feels awful and, especially in the final third of the pitch, my players lose every physical battle. Plus, it feels impossible to dribble or get past the defenders.

Started playing FIFA brand in 2014 after the all the failures with Madden and cancellation of NCAA Football series. The only positive to this game franchise is the number of Title Updates released during the game cycle. In comparison, there were more updates in FC 26 than then entirety of Madden and NCAA Football combined for the past three years. Most of the Manager Career mode issued will be patched at some point, however, why does the community pay full price for Early Release, when the game is unplayable, until November or December at the earliest. Expecting a massive update next Tuesday through Thursday, but only two or three of the main issues will be partially corrected at best, will require probably four to six total updates, before anyone can start a proper long-term save with minimal bugs and glitches.

To be honest, only played the game sparingly since Early Release, just enough to evaluate slider adjustment set values and Manager Career mode configurations. Work collaboratively with numerous testers in Operation Sports and other forums, devising realistic gameplay slider sets, primarily for Ultimate difficulty. If you are playing the game using default Authentic or Competitve settings, the gameplay overall is broken and unplayable. Need to use both Custom slider settings for gameplay and CPU/CPU Teammate Behavior categories. Check out Operation Sports, subforum dr4zah for daily updates, his concepts are novel and have been stable and playable for the past two years.
