ADD WHITE CUT SOCKS / GRIP SOCKS TO CAREER MODE

EA, please consider adding white cut socks / grip socks as a player customization option in FC 27.

This may seem like a small detail, but it would make a huge difference to immersion, realism and aesthetics, especially in Manager Career. And when you’re playing Manager Career for hundreds of hours, these details matter.

Cut socks / grip socks are extremely common in modern professional football, yet in FC we still only have the standard sock tape option. When we see these details in almost every real match, not having the option in-game makes players look less authentic.

Customization plays a huge role in Career Mode. Being able to customize players, managers, boots, accessories and kits is what makes long-term saves feel personal, realistic and enjoyable. Small visual details can have a surprisingly big impact on immersion.

You’ve already shown that this is possible with the Mexico national team kit in “The World’s Game”, where white socks are visible above the boots, and the official real socks are completely red. We would simply love to have this as a customizable option.

FC is constantly adding new features and improving realism. But realism isn’t only about gameplay mechanics, graphics or animations. It’s also about the small details we see every time we look at our players. A very small addition with a huge impact on Career Mode immersion.

One more important related point: these sock/tape options should work correctly with every boot in the game. Currently, ankle tape does not work with certain boots, such as the Puma Future 8, which appears to be a bug or compatibility issue.

Please give us the small details that make our careers feel like real football. ⚽
