Re: My last name is alerted as profane language.

@Rfarrisee I got the information that important changes of the profanity filters are communicated via patch notes. Smaller changes are most likely not communicated (I guess it might be difficult for the team responsible for these changes to communicate it back because there are several channels how they get informed about bad decisions of the filters).

regarding your second question, I do not know the answer but would give it a shot. it should not be that difficult to try it? but since there are reports of profane names in Face of the Franchise too, I'm not convinced that the profanity filter is applied to online modes only.

    You will not receive any updates on this thread regarding whether it was changed or declined. To clarify, if there are significant changes to the profanity filter system in a game, the team may include that in the patch notes if they feel it's necessary, but for requests in these forums they will not likely make it to patch notes. We are doing what we can to reduce toxicity in the gaming community and there are some names that unfortunately may be abused despite them being authentic real names for players. The filter is not perfect, so this forum is a great place to provide first and last names we can forward over over to the team to help include them as an exception if possible.

    You don't say. Apparently Casper is a profane name, but Kasper isn't. Seriously. The name Casper is in the freaking bible.

    I'm trying to use Nica since that is my last name but no. It worked yesterday tho.

  • @EA_Blueberry The surname "Granger," which is objectively not profane, flags as profane in all franchise modes and in creating my player when the game first started

    Is this thread going to lead to any changes?  Some of the name being flag are just ridiculous
