Subject: FC 27 PS5 – Restore local Kick-Off profiles and head-to-head statistics

Unable to link PSN profile in kick-off mode – blocked with "Player 1" and "Player 2" 

This issue already occured at FIFA 25 launch, and also was poorly managed by developpers before months after launch. 

Restore local Kick-Off profiles and head-to-head statistics

Dear EA SPORTS FC Development Team,

It has now been almost two months since FC 27 was released, and a basic feature of Kick-Off mode is still missing.

On PlayStation 5, when playing a local Classic Match, we can no longer assign our PlayStation profiles or custom Kick-Off names to our controllers. The game simply displays "Player 1" and "Player 2".

As a result, our head-to-head statistics, including wins, draws, losses and match history, are no longer saved.

I have been playing FIFA with the same friend for years, and tracking our results is the main reason we buy and play this game.

This feature worked in previous editions, including FC 26. Its disappearance represents a major regression for players who enjoy local multiplayer.

EA acknowledged this issue on October 1, 2026, yet it remains unresolved despite several updates.

It is extremely frustrating to see numerous fixes being released while such a fundamental feature remains unavailable.

Please restore custom Kick-Off profiles and persistent head-to-head statistics in an upcoming update.

Could you also confirm whether your development team is actively working on a fix, and whether there is an estimated timeline?

Local multiplayer players deserve attention too, not just Ultimate Team players.

Thank you.

    Funny  you should mention fifa25 because I have the feeling I have been playing fifa25 gameplay  this morning  . One distinct thing i recall from that game is your gpuai center forward would always run out to you on the wing when you had the ball out wide it was so annoying you could not even get a cross to  him , he would literally run right to you every time even when  changing his tactics  you couldn't cross ball to him  he never stayed in center .

    Well its not been there for 2 years now this morning its back wasn't there yesterday either very strange that ?? But the puzzling thing is I play with offline mode and i turn my Internet off so I dont get any interference from anything , but this game play seems to constantly change .......baffling??
