FC27 (and FC26) on my xbox series S stuck on "There was a problem communicating with the EA Servers" when launching offline, and the menu never loads. Online play works fine. Fresh install, console reset and a network change didn't help, and my other Series S still opens the game offline. Both games are purchased and set up with Home Xbox. Xbox Support says it looks like an EA offline authentication issue. Please investigate.
The so-called EA representatives on this forum don't even know how their game work.There is no always online requirement to play the game.The game is not working offline on some xbox consoles because there is a bug that's causing all of that.On playstation it works offline with no issues.Split fiction,It takes two and several EA titles also have this same problem on Xbox.
we see the requirements lists yes. Challenge is back in September we would play fine in kickoff while offline. It only started maybe this Nov 2026. And the reason why we are here on this platform is to ask EA to reconsider and allow us to play while offline.
Some players move quite a bit and it's not always when we have access to good internet.
Community ManagerAs you have seen, if you have a connection, there is no issue. Online connectivity is one of the minimum requirements below:
Thank you, EA_Barry.
