Seasons Mode – Win not awarded after opponent disconnects/rage quits
Platform: Xbox
Xbox Gamertag: LucaPro79
Mode: Online Seasons
Issue:
For approximately one month, whenever I am winning a Seasons match and my opponent disconnects or quits — especially in the final minutes (after the 75th–80th minute) — the match analysis does not award me the win, even when I am clearly ahead. The match simply disappears from my record as if it never happened.
This bug has become extremely frequent recently. It was not like this before — something has clearly changed or regressed in a recent update. It now happens on a regular basis, to the point where the mode is effectively broken and unplayable.
The result is that only my losses are properly recorded (because I always see matches through to the end), while wins are lost whenever the opponent rage quits. This directly and unfairly impacts my division progression.
I want to stress that Online Seasons is the only mode I play. This bug does not just affect my experience — it makes the entire game unplayable for me. If this is not resolved, there is simply no point in continuing to play FC 26.
This is also a known and widespread issue reported by many players on EA Forums, ongoing since launch with no fix to date.
Suggested solutions (any one of these would resolve the issue):
- Bot takeover: When the opponent disconnects, have a bot continue the match in their place so the game can be completed normally.
- Award win without penalizing the other player: In Seasons (a solo progression mode), simply credit the win to the player who remained. There is no need to assign a loss to the disconnecting player — just give the win to the one who stayed.
- Freeze and register the score after the 75th minute: If a disconnect occurs after the 75th minute of in-game time, automatically record the current result as the final outcome.
Please investigate and escalate as a priority. I am happy to provide clips recorded on Xbox as evidence.
