Bring Back Old Division System to Pro Clubs in EA FC 26
EA Staff, good evening. I hope this post gets your attention to the point that some real change is made in the next game of the franchise, FC 26, as it would be very meaningful for thousands of players who love the Pro Clubs mode. Surely, others have already made posts about this as well. The change I’m referring to is related to the division system currently used in FC 25, which was introduced in FC 24. This system, which includes 6 divisions (5 regular divisions + Elite) and Playoffs based on the division after a certain number of days, has been very harmful to the mode. It was, without a doubt, a terrible change. A change that the vast majority of Pro Clubs players strongly disliked. EA Staff, with all due respect, I could list several reasons why this new Division system has been terrible for the Pro Clubs mode over the last two games of the franchise (EA FC 24 and EA FC 25). However, I’d like to keep this post short and, hopefully, have your attention. First of all, I believe the simplest path would be for EA to acknowledge that this change was not a positive one, that Pro Clubs players reacted very negatively to it and that the right thing to do is also the simplest: bring back The Old Division System. This return would bring a lot of joy to players in a very straightforward way. As an attempt to contribute, I’d still like to say that The Old Division System, which included 10 divisions and a number of matches per division, ensuring Promotion/Title, "Staying" in the Division, or Relegation, was used for around 10 years (I myself started playing Pro Clubs in FIFA 12), and it gave you and your friends a reason to log in and play Pro Clubs every single day, whether people had just a little time to play during the week, or all the time in the world. Every match mattered. If you were in Division 1, you were either playing for the title or to avoid being relegated to Division 2. If you were in Division 2, you were playing to get promoted, to stay and try again later, or to avoid relegation. And so on, depending on the division. Either way, you were always playing with a purpose, and every match was important—any day or time of the week. Please make the Simple, but Golden Change: Bring Back the Old Division System to Pro Clubs in the next game, EA FC 26. Kind regards, Just a Player trying to help
Issue with FC25 Online Draft Mode - Lost Progress and Coins
I am writing to report an issue I encountered while playing the Online Draft mode in FC25. I spent 15,000 coins to enter the draft, successfully won my matches, but was unexpectedly kicked out of the game due to what appears to be a server issue. When I tried to re-enter the game, it showed that I had lost the draft, even though I had clearly won. This has resulted in the loss of my coins and progress, which is very frustrating. I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter, either by restoring my coins or ensuring that my draft progress is correctly reflected. Thank you for your attention to this issue. I look forward to your prompt response.
Limited player creations
Hello EA, Since FIFA 20, I've been creating players to make custom teams to create tournaments with multiple countries, including Algeria, Senegal, Madagascar, etc. But now, with the rule that only a maximum of 50 players can be created, I can't complete my teams. EA, please, can you remove this limit?
Save Pro Clubs
Hopefully to EA and the Clubs development team, I've bought every FIFA/FC since FIFA 12 - but this year was the first time I didn't buy the game at all. A major reason for that is the direction Pro Clubs is heading. Ultimate Team has its own place as a timeless grind, but in my opinion, Pro Clubs is by far the most fun mode - especially with a group of friends. That's why I feel strongly that the move to a Rivals-style system and monthly tournaments, instead of the classic league format, has taken the heart out of the mode. From my experience, and from what I've seen across the community, most Clubs players love the grassroots, Sunday league-style feel. It's about a group of misfits playing for fun, climbing the divisions, and creating memories. EA's recent shift toward a more "elite" experience - huge stadiums, a heavier grind, and the loss of the simple league table - disconnects from what made the mode so special. The new Rivals-style format just doesn't work here. In Ultimate Team, the higher you go, the better the rewards to improve your team - so the grind makes sense. In Clubs, it doesn't. Earning customisation feels too slow and locked away. Whether you're in Division 1 or Division 4, matches feel repetitive and inconsequential. The old league system made every game matter. Goals counted. Relegation and promotion added tension, excitement, and storytelling - something the current structure completely misses. That's the real strength of Clubs: the story. Building your created player from a nobody to a star. Relying on that one consistent AI teammate - or dealing with the hilarious liability. Rallying from mid-table in Division 3 to a run of form that takes you to Division 1. These are the moments that players talk about and remember. On top of this, removing classic hairstyles, putting cosmetics like masks and tattoos behind paywalls, and tying customization to Volta currency all restrict the mode. Clubs works best when it's an open, accessible experience - when every player can feel ownership over their character and story. It feels like the team overthought what the community wanted. Going back to what made Pro Clubs great - the classic Div 10-1 league system, promotion/relegation battles, and open customisation - would be the best step forward. That, along with occasional cups, would make FC26 a real consideration for me again. As it stands, I and many of my friends won't be buying it. I hope this feedback is taken seriously. Clubs for me has always had the most potential for fun in the entire game - please don't let that potential go to waste in FC26. #SaveProClubsFix Pro Clubs in EA FC 26: Bring Back Divisions and Trophy Lifts
Hey EA Team, Just wanted to speak up as someone who’s been playing Pro Clubs since FIFA 12. The current system with 5 divisions and playoffs feels empty — there’s no real purpose to matches anymore. The old 10-division setup gave us something to fight for every game — whether it was promotion, avoiding relegation, or pushing for a title. It kept the mode alive and competitive. Also, please bring back trophy celebrations like in FIFA 23 and before. Lifting a trophy with your squad made winning feel special. Now, it just ends with a badge on the screen — no excitement, no payoff. That celebration moment used to bring so much hype. Pro Clubs has the potential to be amazing again. Just give us back the systems that worked: real divisions and real celebrations. Thanks for reading — hope you take this seriously. If you agree, drop a like and comment so EA sees this — let’s make some noise for Pro Clubs in FC 26!
Why is my pro clubs ai defending and passing so bad?
My AI defence is so bad every game, while my opponents are really solid, they refuse to tackle the ball, keep missing passes to other AIs, get caught out of position all the time even though i tell them to stay back while attacking and pass directly to the other team. I've tried different tactics, I'm currently running 4-2-3-1 attacking and they suck, it's completely unplayable. PS. they also seem to for some reason do 180's every time I call for a pass and then most of the time they straight up ignore me and then lose the ball
FC 25 - 26 Pro clubs requests - The end ( discussion )
this will be a repost from my fifa 22 forums post, fifa 24 forums post and fifa 14 - 15 forums post ( i got banned in all of them ) and everything still applies: Starting from fifa 10-14 fifa Pro clubs was the best mode You could play . 11 vs 11 With human players the beauty of getting actual 22 players like the real life sport and a collective effort towards a goal felt unreal . After that the game mechanics changed to run down the wing simulator Where you have 1 short guy (because tall guys can never be fast) and 1 Tall guy and the short guy runs down the wing holding right trigger on your controller and presses the cross button and tall guy heads it in . It became a game that only required you to spam X button on your controller and you’ll spam away until it works and it will work . Now I’ve been fortunate enough to play in custom organized 11 vs 11 leagues since FIFA 11 . Ranked 1 club in the world to leagues like VIFA , VPSA , VPFL , iFVPAA international, VFL , IVL , WPSA , ELITE FC , FIFA K1NGZ , l Ambitious l these are clubs in XBOX and custom leagues 11 v 11 all organized by third parties with large number of players because FIFA doesn’t want it to get a competitive platform going for clubs . There was a time where people were genuinely interested in investing their time off their real life with no pay but for the passion of the specific pro clubs where the wins were satisfying and losses felt emotional . FIFA pro clubs had and still has such a potential . I’ve posted a thread in this forum 11 years ago about clubs where I proposed ideas such as : 1) ADD A SUBSTITUTION OPTION ( where if your friends join late they can be be subbed in instead of a bot if you are playing regular division club matches it’s bots and only 2 members ) 2) ADD A SPECTATOR MODE ( where if a player wishes they can sit in the bench and watch a live game as it’s being played I know someone can stream but watching a game from in game is better since if you play competitive leagues you may have more than 11 players on at the same time and based on your competitive matches you can spectate and make decisions into next game subbing people on and off while they literally watch the game from the bench making it actually realistic . 3) ADD PAID DLC so EA actually gives a s*** . It’s very clear EA does not make money off pro clubs and ultimate team is the money maker mode with all the micro transactions and that’s why they stopped caring about pro clubs mode . Now this Idea allows them to atleast make some sort of money and get more support for clubs and get some sort of motivation to help improve hardcore pro clubs players . 4)BRING BACK lobbies and 11 v 11 modes and drop ins . Yes I know it was chaotic and people fighting for same spots but atleast you didn’t constantly just play 1 v 1 in empty lobbies . The point of this mode is multiplayer and the chaos it brings but it’s beautiful when everyone works together and you are rewarded . There’s also a mode once upon a time where you could play 11 v 11 with irl players in lobbies that’s also been taken away from us .. for no reason Here I am at my mid - late 20s just reminiscing and reminding myself that I made this exact post 11 years ago posting 3 constructive feedback as a customer who cares about the game mode and willing to pay a little bit more to see a little bit more . But I know posting a constructive comment or feedback will get me permanently banned on this forums again . It’s the end of this mode it’s unfortunate the population of the pro clubs dropped 196% past 10 years gradually .. it’s 2022 moving into 2023 you can’t tell me adding 2 things that’s really hard for them ? Just 1 or 2 actual features ?? Instead of just renaming “traits” into “archetypes “ or changing specialties into “perks” these are not improving the game it’s showing veterans that you don’t care anymore about the game anymore because money runs the world . I have no words but to just say this I had to let it out and I know my ideas are not perfect but atleast I tried . I’m from Vancouver British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 where the FIFA franchise has been made . I’m out thanks for the read if EA doesn’t permanently ban me and censor me I’m sure you’ll be able to read this . FIFA 23 is the Last ever FIFA since EA lost licensing and it has been an era of huge disappointment and they let all of down with no effort. They don't care as long as the money comes in. Now with FIFA 25 and 24 we had issues with drop ins not finding players to people hacking in FC 25 clubs modes or glitching to slow down defenders. The gameplay is dead and 10 year old games now perform better. updated add on : Instead of focusing on 1.2 Billion hair and audience animations which no one cares about why not focus on fixing gameplay , adding all the features requested to pro clubs.. or is it the greed of ultimate team packs and micro transactions thats preventing you from doing it? It is The end of what was to be best of our times . They had multiple chances to resolve multiple years to add and improve.... but now its gone. Forever a memory that cannot be re-lived again. Now with FIFA giving up ON EA the only thing they have added is "CROSS-PLAY" within same generations thats their only real "Feature" still you cannot substitute players into a match. This game the potential to be a major E-SPORT ground since 2012 if they played their cards right and maybe into top E-SPORT platform and even in Olympic E-SPORT for pro clubs 11vs11. At this point EA should just delete and close the franchise. Instead of faking it and renaming old conventions such as "traits" now being called "playstyles" then calling it a "new thing" just stop pretending and delete the franchise since you failed and get back to making a proper game like battlefield. Dont put half effort into it just go all in with full effort or give up completely . Dont waste your own time or your customers time faking it the whole time. You gave up on us ... and we will give up on you. This year is your last chance to redeem yourself as a final note before you file for bankruptcy.

Games not counting: "error communicating with EA servers" at end of match
Problem: At the end of a Clubs game, after the final whistle goes, all players on the team are presented with a message along the lines of "There was an error communicating with the EA servers". The game is not counted in the clubs stats like it never happened and no one gets XP. Game breaking when trying to progress through play offs. Frequency: Currently happening in say 1/4 games. Have seen multiple posts on Reddit reporting the same problem. First noticed: This started happening mid December, have played clubs constantly since release so somethign has be broken since then. Matchmaking Region: British Isles/ Western Europe Platform: Xbox Series X and PC (we play cross play have players on both)
