Early Access

Dear EA, 

Pre ordering games has loads of perks, specially if you opt for the higher tier editions. One of those perks is early access to the game. With the ultimate edition and above, players get a whole week of early access which all fine and dandy. However, for people who pre orders the standard edition they only get 1 HOUR. I myself pre orders the standard edition because quite frankly splashing over $100 on a game seems a bit excessive. So I don’t find it fair that even if we pre order a game and not buy it on launch day or in November when your game goes for half the price, that we at least don’t get to play the game 1 DAY in advance. Please allow those who pre order the standard edition a respectable early access to the game. And I think 1 DAY is more than fair compared to the whole week the other people get. 

thank you.

    EA_Darko​ It would make the game so much more enjoyable if your team could fix the issues in highlighted in my previous message. May i also suggest that in future EAFC titles the company do more with player career mode as so many people prefer to play that than UT, even if there were some pay to unlock items and accessories like kit or celebrations so EA could get their crack hit of fleecing more money out of gamers with in game purchases. Hopefully this issue gets sorted as i was looking forward to the release this year but have been rather let down. 

    Thank you.

    Where to start! 

    Grass colour doesn't generate 90% of the time.

    Home team shows as red with away team blue unless in instant replay.

    Created player selected with tattoos etc shows up with grey hands and legs. Also can't select long knee length socks.

    Can't change set goal celebration through the season. 

    I would call those game breaking bugs as the game absolutely sucks the enjoyment of what had potential to be a great football franchise when EA only focus on pay yo win mode UT.

    Not seen any major game-breaking bugs myself Jedi-Rougue_1​ but if you are I would ask that you share the issues with us and as much info as possible so that we can take a look.

    I bought the most expensive edition as I love player career mode even though it's been copy and paste since Fifa 14. I was still disappointed to find that like every other year the early release is full of game destroying bugs. Player career is completely ruined and probably won't be fixed anytime soon because it isn't a pay to win mode for EA. Disgusted in this game now and won't be buying another EA game.

    Happy to share the feedback with the team around this javiermerino99​ but early access is tied to the Ultimate Editions of the game.

    I don't believe that this is something that will change but happy to make your voice heard.
