EA FC 26 Pre-Order Problems on Switch

This happened on a Switch 1.

Last week (on the 20th of July) I followed the ad that you are currently showing when the game gets started, that advertises to pre-order EA FC 26 Standard or Ultimate Team Edition.

I chose the Ultimate Team Edition and went to the Nintendo Shop to buy it. For the record one of my major motivations to pre-order the game so early is the fact that I want the Early Bird Shoot out Evo.

After I bought the pre-order I received a confirmation email. And afterwards I was checking whether I already received the Early Bird Shoot Evo in EA FC 25 or not.

Yesterday (after 1 week of waiting) I started to worry that something went wrong (again!). So I contacted EA Help and the "friendly" and "SUPPORTIVE" people there told me, that my order does not exist on the EA side. I doublechecked my confirmation email and discovered that the email did not contain any order number.

The EA Help stuff told me to contact Nintendo. Which I did immediately. I also asked them, that they should contact Nintendo as well, since they have better means to explain and investigate the problem (since two parties are involved in the problem) and since I am surely not the only facing that problem. They refused to "help" me and investigate the problem with Nintendo. They located the responsibility entirely with Nintendo.

So here I am again. Yet with another EA FC problem. Nintendo has not reacted in anyway so far. EA believes the situation is not their problem (Which I find outrageous!! How can one advertise a pre-order campaign and not feel responsible for the incoming business?!). And the Evo-Combo I wanted to build runs out in a couple of days. 

Does anybody else has the same problem? Does anybody have any idea what to do?

    Unbelievable. Here is someone who wants to buy your game EA. But he can't because it is buggy and nobody helps him. Neither here in EA Answer nor at EA Help nor Nintendo.

    This is just one of sooo many unsuccesful and futile attempts to get a bug or problem solved. Each time more frustrating. Each time left with the feeling, that your game not working correctly is actually my problem.

    You know what. I will cancel that pre-order. And I am not sure if I will buy EA FC 26 at all. Your service is sooo poor and unsatisfying. I am a user who not only bought your game but also spent quite some money on your ingame content. But obviously you just don't care.

    I really really hope that another soccer simulator comes up. If it is good enough I will gladly switch in a second. Your business practices inspire no loyalty. You really need competition to be reminded of your core values and that the user/ player is at the heart of every game. Shame on you all!!
