Server Issues in Istanbul – Immediate Action Required
Hello EA Support Team, I am writing as one of thousands of users actively playing your games in Turkey. The lag, input delay, and latency issues we have been experiencing for a long time have now exceeded the limits of patience. The gaming experience often ceases to be competitive and becomes unplayable. The fact that there is still no server investment in a city like Istanbul, located at the center of Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, with a strong internet infrastructure and millions of players, is seen as a serious management and priority issue. This situation is not a technical glitch, but clearly creates the impression of a neglected market. Players in Turkey spend significant time and money on your games every year. Despite this, constantly experiencing lag, delayed commands, and server-related performance issues is rapidly eroding trust in your brand. Unless these issues are resolved, player loss and a shift towards alternative platforms will be inevitable. This message is not a “complaint,” but a clear warning. Continuing to ignore the Turkish market will directly affect both community support and your revenue potential in the long run. We expect the issue of regional server investment for Turkey to be evaluated concretely now. I demand that the necessary actions be taken and that this matter be addressed seriously. Gökhan İçgili Merhaba EA Destek Ekibi, Türkiye'de oyunlarınızı aktif olarak oynayan binlerce kullanıcıdan biri olarak size yazıyorum. Uzun süredir yaşadığımız gecikme, giriş gecikmesi ve latans sorunları artık sabrımızın sınırlarını aştı. Oyun deneyimi genellikle rekabetçi olmaktan çıkıyor ve oynanamaz hale geliyor. Avrupa, Orta Doğu ve Asya'nın merkezinde yer alan, güçlü bir internet altyapısına ve milyonlarca oyuncuya sahip İstanbul gibi bir şehirde hala sunucu yatırımı yapılmamış olması, ciddi bir yönetim ve öncelik sorunu olarak görülüyor. Bu durum teknik bir aksaklık değil, açıkça ihmal edilmiş bir pazar izlenimi yaratıyor. Türkiye'deki oyuncular her yıl oyunlarınıza önemli miktarda zaman ve para harcıyor. Buna rağmen, sürekli olarak gecikme, komut gecikmesi ve sunucu ile ilgili performans sorunları yaşamak, markanıza olan güveni hızla aşındırıyor. Bu sorunlar çözülmedikçe, oyuncu kaybı ve alternatif platformlara geçiş kaçınılmaz olacaktır. Bu mesaj bir “şikayet” değil, açık bir uyarıdır. Türk pazarını görmezden gelmeye devam etmek, uzun vadede hem topluluk desteğini hem de gelir potansiyelinizi doğrudan etkileyecektir. Türkiye için bölgesel sunucu yatırımı konusunun şimdi somut olarak değerlendirilmesini bekliyoruz. Gerekli önlemlerin alınmasını ve bu konunun ciddiye alınmasını talep ediyorum.

What can i say about EA They destroyed a game that once was beautiful card concepts were simple but good like in FIFA 17/19 ones were perfect and thats not a recent thing menus were good in CM and UT now its boring and gameplay now is just too bad i dont wanna know about a realistic game that was what made a diference of EA FC and Konami's game and we liked that unpredictable shots with curves and keepers who saved the normal and long ones were harder About the menus it was colored and good like you gone to CM in another versions and it had the games colors, in fact now ita just dark and bad and even the interface is bad so EA fix what you've done and im not saying to fix now at FC 27 cause i know the game is already ongoing but atleast in FC 28 it has to be betterMissing UCL Font & Incorrect Undershirt Colors for Galatasaray
Hello EA FC Team and Community Managers, As a long-time EA FC player and football fan from Turkey, I would like to share an important licensing and visual accuracy issue regarding Galatasaray, one of the fully licensed clubs in the game for the past two years. Missing UEFA Champions League Font for Galatasaray In EA FC 26, clubs such as Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham, Real Madrid, and Atlético de Madrid correctly use different font sets depending on the competition (domestic league vs. UEFA matches). However, Galatasaray, despite being a fully licensed club, does not use its actual UEFA Champions League name & number font in the game. Instead, the team continues to display the Turkish Super Lig font even during European competitions. Real-life detail: According to UEFA competition kit regulations, the player’s name must appear above the number on European kits — while in domestic Turkish league matches, it’s the opposite (number above, name below). Currently, in EA FC 26, Galatasaray uses the wrong domestic layout (number above, name below) even in UEFA matches. This makes the presentation visibly inaccurate and breaks immersion for thousands of Turkish players who support their club and expect authenticity. Suggested Fix: If official UEFA font licensing is not possible, please use a similar default European-style font, but adjust the layout to: Player Name (top) - Player Number (bottom) This small change would make the presentation much more realistic for Galatasaray’s UEFA appearances. Incorrect Undershirt (Base Layer) Colors Another inaccuracy appears in winter match visuals: In Galatasaray’s home kit, players wear solid red long-sleeve undershirts during cold weather. In the game, the undershirt appears in split colors matching the jersey (half red, half yellow) — which is not realistic. In UEFA matches and real-life conditions, players wear a plain red base layer under the home kit. Suggested Fix: Change Galatasaray’s home undershirt color to solid red (single tone) to align with real-world visuals. Why This Matters; Thousands of Turkish EA FC players purchase and play the game because of their favorite club’s realism. Small visual inaccuracies like incorrect UEFA fonts or undershirt colors reduce the sense of authenticity and immersion for local fans — even though other European clubs have accurate variations. I will attach reference images below this post for visual comparison between real UEFA match kits and the current in-game version. Thank you for your attention and for continuing to improve the game’s licensed authenticity. Best regards, Emircan Işıldak (Turkish EA FC Community Player)Balancing match ups in seasons
Many players who are of Division 1 standard make multiple accounts in order to start over from division 10. The purpose in doing so is to attempt to achieve as good a W-D-L ratio as possible. This practice is detrimental to the players who are of a lower division standard and makes natural progression almost impossible. Many players of this standard may never progress their game play due to being completely shut out by higher tier players filling up these divisions. Having spoke to many players on different social media platforms, it is very common to see these players quit the game out of frustration. I am a mid division player and I put this this to the test. I started out in Division 10. I played a couple of hours daily for 1 month. I never progressed past division 9 and was consistently demoted back to division 10. When looking at the history of almost all the players I competed against, the history showed straight wins by considerable margins. My proposal is this. After completion of division 10, players should be matched up according to their aggregate from the previous season. This will ensure a more even playing field, and allow less capable players to both progress naturally and enjoy a better game experience.Its very sad ...PLEASE HEAR US EA...DONT DO THIS WITH FOOTBALL LOVERS...
I’ve been playing this game since childhood with my brother—right from FIFA 2004 and FIFA 2007 days. Back then, and even up to recent editions, the game actually felt like football. Skill, tactics, and understanding the game mattered. Right now in EAFC 26, I was just one or two games away from reaching Division 3… and suddenly I’m on the verge of getting relegated to Division 6. Not because I forgot how to play—but because the game itself has changed completely. Now it feels like only dribbling matters. Defending is absolutely broken. Whether it’s AI or manual control, defenders can’t react to what’s happening. Even if we read the play correctly, intercept perfectly the ball still somehow ends up back at the opponent’s feet. And this isn’t about being “pro” or not. We’re regular players who understand football. Earlier, we always had that belief that with proper tactics and gameplay, we could compete—even beat better players on our day. That balance is gone. What’s worse is that even top defenders feel useless. You can have Maldini or Renard at the back—it doesn’t matter. One player with insane dribbling, or someone using Ronaldo or Ronaldinho, can just walk through everything. At that point, it feels like the game is playing itself. Where in real football do players just dribble endlessly inside the box like that without consequence? Please bring back the balance the game used to have—like in FIFA 21, 22, and 23. This current version feels completely off. You’re not rewarding football anymore, you’re just promoting unrealistic dribbling mechanics. At this rate, you might as well rename EAFC 27 to “Dribbling 27.” Please don’t do this to people who genuinely love football. Fix defending. Bring back real gameplay.Please fix the disconnection glitch!!!! (PS5)
Please EA, fix this glitch that is affecting the pleasure for playing this game. The game is already bad, but with this types of glitch it makes it worse!!! When I launch the game I want to enjoy play online games in the different tournements there exists. I don't want to spend 45 minutes before facing a normal player like me. Its always the same **bleep** in these games. This happens in ultimate team in any online games. They play hardcore full pressing to score a goal as fast as possible and then here it comes, they press "pause button" and suddenly after 15 seconds I get "connection with opponent lost". So here I go again back to menu, start new game and same **bleep** happens again. Sometimes It happens that I score first, but then they equalize and score again. Next move? Yes, same thing, pause and I get disconnected. Players that do these glitch after they press pause button, they go to ps5 menu and switch user account. Then they wait 15 seconds before returning to the original account and by they the game has been disconnected. Since they are winning it counts as Win for them (make it a lot easier to win games). For the other player count just all the time wasted because they don't get the win nor a lose. But for players like me that don't have ilimited time to play the game, it is frustrating. I hope these player get some kind of ban. SO please EA, fix this glitch.CPU transfers in career mode
I really wish there was an option to veto AI transfers, because some of them are just beyond ridiculous. For example, Barcelona can be in the middle of a title race and suddenly decide to sell Raphinha, Ferran Torres, and even Pedri during the January transfer window, without bringing in any replacements. The same thing happens with PSG, who sometimes sell key players to Premier League clubs mid-season. Having a simple option to approve or decline AI transfers would be a great addition to Career Mode. More customization options like this would definitely be appreciated by the community.AI Needs Fully Turning Down Now!!!
I am sick off going into squad battles no matter what level you play on it feels like nearly ultimate the experience is frustrating and I want to rip up the game and send it back to you ridiculous idiots who can't get a game right on balance your a disgrace of a company the A bashing by the AI need to be like 10% because atm it's at 100% it's ridiculous and the AI time wasting is a massive problem I stopped playing online because of idiots doing that now you AI is doing it what on earth are you thinking of making a game that is not fun to play and makes me feel like I wanna punch everyone of you who made this terrible game and also stop over charging for SBCs or just get rid there a waste of time especially packs that are like 0.01% of packing anything special we are in nearly may and still your packs are terrible balanced and your Evos are rubbish you are losing the whole community because your game is getting 20x worse every year you try something sort it out or don't make the game simple😡
