Please Bring Back Skill Games for Clubs

Dear EA SPORTS FC Team,

Please bring back Skill Games for Clubs and Virtual Pros, similar to what we had in FC 26 and multiple previous FIFA/EA SPORTS FC titles.

The removal of Skill Games from Clubs is extremely frustrating because there is really no reason Clubs players should not have a proper way to practice with their own Virtual Pro.

Skill Games have always been an essential part of Clubs for many players. They give us the opportunity to put extra hours into practicing with our actual Pro outside of matches, whether that means working on shooting, finishing, passing, dribbling, defending, playmaking, crossing, free kicks, set pieces, or simply getting comfortable with how our Pro moves and feels.

This is especially important at the beginning of a new EA SPORTS FC game. Every year there are changes to shooting, passing, dribbling, defending, animations, PlayStyles, player movement, and the overall gameplay. Clubs players are also creating completely new Pros and experimenting with different builds and attributes.

We need somewhere where we can actually learn those changes and practice with our Virtual Pro without having to enter a real Clubs match every single time.

For competitive Clubs players in particular, this is incredibly valuable. I know I am far from the only person who used Skill Games regularly. A large number of competitive Clubs players genuinely enjoyed being able to practice repeatedly, improve specific parts of their game, experiment with their build, and become more comfortable with their Pro.

Scenarios are not a full replacement for this. We should have a dedicated Clubs training area that allows us to use our actual Virtual Pro and their real attributes.

Ideally, Clubs should have:

  • The return of Skill Games using our Virtual Pro
  • Shooting and finishing drills
  • Passing and playmaking drills
  • Dribbling drills
  • Defending drills
  • Crossing and set-piece practice
  • Free kicks and penalties
  • The ability to practice using our actual Pro build, attributes, and PlayStyles
  • Support for our normal gameplay/controller settings, including options such as Precision Shooting
  • An open practice arena or training pitch where we can freely practice with our Pro

Most competitive games provide players with some type of training environment because improvement requires repetition. Clubs should be no different. Players should not have to use competitive matches as their only opportunity to test a build, learn a shooting mechanic, practice finishing, or understand how their Pro behaves.

For many of us, practicing and improving our Virtual Pro is part of what makes Clubs enjoyable in the first place.

It is saddening that such a useful and long-standing feature is currently unavailable. Please bring Skill Games back to Clubs as soon as possible. It is something that I, along with many other people who love and regularly play Clubs, genuinely miss, enjoy, and need in order to properly learn, practice, and progress in the game.

Thank you for taking the feedback into consideration. I really hope we can see proper Virtual Pro Skill Games and a dedicated Clubs practice environment return in a future update.
