Requesting official guidelines - how to use the transfer market
Please I kindly request of you EA guidelines on how to 100% safely and legally use the transfer market in ultimate team without breaking any rules. I only have this information from a email you sent to me: We review trades in the Ultimate Team™ Transfer Market to make sure they’re fair and follow our rules. We do this by comparing the value of the item to the current value of the item in the Transfer Market to see if any extra value is being traded. This lets us know if there has been any Coin selling, buying, and/or distribution, which breaks our rules and goes against our User Agreement. I am interested lo learn what is considered a fair trade and what your rules are because I cannot find any rules to follow anywhere. If I am understanding this correctly, selling above market value is considered illegal and it breaks EA’s rules? Thank you.
Free kick 168 km.h
Hello dear readers and developers, if you're actually reading this. I have played 1900 hours of Pro Clubs in FC 26. I noticed that with 90 overall and the gold "Brain Architect" specialization, the ball speed never goes above 168 km/h. Even if you set shot power to 99, the ball speed doesn't increase — is this by design, or is there a problem here? I fill all the bars to the very end — meaning -3.7 bars. And it's no secret to those who love taking free kicks that the last segment (the fourth bar) is further divided into 8 bars, with the 8th being the final one — and that's the point of overcharging the power. Now, I have scored many goals with that final bar, and the ball speed ranged from 158 to 168 km/h. Knuckleball did not enhance this shot. The question is: does the Architect specialization on a midfielder actually increase free kick power to the maximum? Is that really the case, because I tested this and there is no difference between 90 and 99 if you have the gold specialization Letme know if you'd like any adjustments to the tone or phrasing.Banned for "Grinding" - 40 +matches for BACH Evolution ignored by ToS team
Hi Community Managers, I am a dedicated player (playing 4+ hours daily) and recently my account was permanently banned for "cheating/automation." However, this is a clear System False Positive. Context: I was racing against the deadline for the 'Sweep & Supply' Evolution for my player BACH. To complete the tasks (specifically the Attacker Round Out stages), I had to play approximately 40 matches within a very short window. The Issue:I played these matches manually in Squad Battles on Beginner difficulty. Because the AI is non-aggressive, I would score a goal and then rest (inactivity), which the automated system likely flagged as "bot behavior." Evidence:I have attached the screenshot of the final BACH Evolution I was aiming for. My account currently has this BACH in an active Evolution slot. I have already appealed (Case #244786900), but I received a template rejection that clearly ignored this visual proof. A bot or coin-seller would not spend 40+ hours building a specific Evolution player. I am requesting a Community Manager to help escalate this for a GENUINE human review. I just want to finish my Evolution.Ideas to improve career mode.
Hello EA Sports FC Team, First of all, thank you for the work you continue to put into the Career Mode experience in EA Sports FC. Many players, including myself, (especially myself) truly enjoy building long-term projects and creating unique football stories in the game. I would like to share some ideas and feedback that could greatly improve Career Mode and Create-a-Club in FC 27. (Even if the game will cost me more than the last price. Please add even 50% of these ideas will be very grateful for me and for us) CREATE-A-CLUB IMPROVEMENTS Dynamic sponsors that change over the years depending on club success and reputation. Ability to choose new sponsors every season. More customization options for kits, goalkeeper kits, and third kits. More detailed badge/logo creation tools. Ability to choose club history and identity (local club, fallen giant, youth academy club, billionaire takeover, etc.). NOT SO IMPORTANT BUT OPTIONAL. STADIUM EVOLUTION One of the most important missing features is stadium progression. It would be amazing if: stadium capacity could increase over time, clubs could upgrade stands and facilities, atmosphere and attendance evolved with performances, supporters became more active with tifos, chants, and reactions. For example: starting with a small 8,000-seat stadium, then progressively building a modern 25,000 or 40,000-seat stadium after successful seasons. CAREER MODE REALISM Smarter transfer AI. More realistic player decisions. Dynamic player personalities and dressing room chemistry. More realistic fatigue and injury systems. Better midfield positioning and tactical intelligence. Different league identities and gameplay styles. IMMERSION More realistic crowd atmosphere. Better commentary variety. Dynamic rivalries and storylines. Improved press conferences and social media reactions. YOUTH ACADEMY IMPROVEMENTS Another important feature would be better youth academy management. In real football, young players often move between the senior team and reserve/youth teams depending on development and playing time. It would be great if FC 27 allowed players to: promote youth academy players to the first team, send them back to the reserve or academy teams later, allow reserve team matches, track young player development more realistically, create stronger connections between academy and senior football. This would make youth development feel much more realistic and immersive. Many players love Career Mode because it allows us to create our own football journey. These additions would make the mode feel more alive, immersive, and realistic for long-term saves. These ideas come from me, a long-term career mode player who want deeper realism and immersion. Thank you for reading this feedback and for continuing to improve the game. Best regards, A passionate Career Mode player FabfabGarbage.
I usually don’t leave feedback or reviews for anything in my life — whether it’s restaurants, stores, or anything else. But I felt the need to leave a review for a game I’ve been playing since FIFA 12. After FIFA 17, I took a break and came back for FIFA 22. All I really have to say is that whoever is involved with the gameplay on Ultimate Team is a pathetic group of people. I don’t even care to elaborate on why the gameplay is terrible, because you guys used it as the focal point of EAFC 26’s promotion, so you’re clearly aware of what the community wants. You guys really release nothing but dog **bleep** since 22. I really do hope a competitor is able to put you guys out of business. I'll be there for your downfall. If you guys finally decide to make a good game, good on you. But I won't be there for it. It is such a shame that I know (because trust me, I know) you won't make a good game until there is a competitor that'll threaten to take money out your pockets. That is when you guys will finally decide to put "some" effort into your game. On a positive note, thank you guys for the good games that you guys made. I really do appreciate the good games you guys made.
20 Years of Loyalty Rewarded with a Transfer Market Ban and Broken Gameplay
This company is honestly worth nothing at this point, and the only way people can actually affect them is by stopping buying their products altogether. So on May 1st I received a completely undeserved transfer market ban without doing anything wrong. I played for another couple of days, but because of how disappointed I was with the gameplay, the ban itself, and especially how my appeal was handled, I uninstalled the game from my PS5. Today I saw the free PS Plus Icon pack and thought, “why not give it another try?” I went in telling myself I’d just play casually and not get annoyed. Of course, the problems somehow felt even worse. I played 4 matches. Lost 2 despite leading in both, won 1, and then came the last match—the one that genuinely made me realize this game can always sink lower. I entered the match and immediately something felt strange about how my players were positioned, but I ignored it. My opponent barely seemed to move. I scored quickly anyway, and right after the goal the opponent paused the game. It instantly showed that he resumed the match. But then I got stuck watching the replay of my own goal infinitely. I couldn’t press anything, couldn’t skip, couldn’t move. While staring at the replay, I noticed the scoreboard suddenly showed 2–1 for my opponent in the 15th minute, even though for me the match had only reached the 3rd minute. Then I received a warning saying I was inactive and would lose the match if I didn’t move. I kept watching the scoreboard change in the background: 45th minute, now 3–1 for my opponent, while I was still trapped in the replay screen. Eventually the game resumed and suddenly I could play again. Once again, my opponent wasn’t moving much, I equalized quickly, and immediately he paused again. Same thing happened: endless replay, frozen controls, scoreboard showing him taking the lead again while I couldn’t do anything. No matter what I pressed, nothing worked. Eventually I got disconnected for inactivity and lost the match. At that point it became obvious the opponent was using some kind of exploit or cheat. So my question is: how much longer can EA keep disrespecting its players like this? I’ve played this franchise for 20 years. I’ve invested money into it. I even still have a Season Pass I can’t properly use because of a completely unjustified transfer market ban, yet actual cheaters can apparently manipulate matches and nothing happens to them. Trying to contact support is honestly one of the worst customer support experiences I’ve ever seen. There isn’t even a proper in-game reporting system for serious issues. But sure, if someone has an “offensive club name,” suddenly that’s the priority. At this point the game feels abandoned, the support feels fake, and legitimate players are the ones paying the price.This really is unplayable. U cant even make passing work
I genuinely don’t understand how we’ve reached a point where in , the most basic mechanic in football — passing — feels this unreliable. Like, forget advanced tactics, forget skill moves, forget all the flashy marketing features. This is a football game. Passing is literally the foundation of everything. And yet somehow a simple 5-yard pass turns into a lottery half the time. You aim left — it goes straight. You tap lightly — it gets blasted across the pitch. You power it up — your player gently rolls it to the opponent like he’s setting up a highlight reel for them. And don’t even get me started on player switching combined with passing. You try to play a quick one-two, and the game decides your striker actually wanted to pass it to a marked midfielder 20 meters away. Why? No clue. Input just gets ignored or “interpreted” however the game feels in that moment. It’s not even about difficulty or “skill gap” — I’m fine with making mistakes if they’re MY mistakes. But right now it feels like I’m fighting the game’s decision-making more than my opponent. There’s a difference between a bad pass because I messed up, and a bad pass because the game overrode what I clearly input. And the inconsistency is the worst part. One match, passing feels crisp and responsive. Next match, same players, same inputs, and suddenly everything is delayed, underhit, or magnetized toward defenders. That’s not realism — that’s unpredictability in the worst way. I’m not asking for perfection. Just consistency and control. If I aim somewhere and use a certain amount of power, I should at least feel like the outcome matches that input most of the time. Right now, it honestly feels like the game decides when a pass works instead of the player. Make a 150 passes in a game, well 30 of them go directly like magnets to opponent. Im really starting to believe you never watched football. Fix the fundamentals. Everything else can wait cause right now... If the gameplay was trash it would be a upgrade. This game is an embarrassment to football...
