The end of a disastrous TOTS - feedback and suggestions from the average player.
So now we're at the end of TOTS, I thought I'd use this to essentially rant - but also to offer genuine suggestions that could've made the promo...tolerable... First of all, the problems. There were many, and some of these I feel EA maliciously created on purpose to worsen the player experience and force us to buy FC points to survive. "Exact" rating requirements for SBCs. While it was nice only having to put in about half a squad for SBCs, after a while the problems crept in. Requiring 5 86s for a repeatable SBC in which you'd be lucky to get 1 86 back was, frankly, stupid. There was no grind. There was nothing to do repetitively in order to have a chance at packing TOTS cards. The 82x20s looked fine on the surface (questionable pack weight, I'll get onto that in a minute), but the reality is most people could only do about 2-3 a day without spending actual money or coins on overpriced 86s. TOTW requirements with no TOTWs in packs. First of all, it's never made sense to me why TOTW ends with about a month left of the season. There are always games on, even in June, so don't stop. Secondly, why the hell would you require TOTW (and ONLY TOTW) for upgrade SBCs when TOTS are in packs and TOTW isn't? Being forced to do TOTW upgrades meant doing the upgrade SBCs each day got harder and harder. This is one that felt malicious, as it took you guys far too long to fix. Pack weight. Speaking of upgrade SBCs, u think out of about 400 total I probably packed a TOTS in about 6 of them. Shocking pack weight. I shouldn't be opening 28 85x5 combo upgrades in a week and seeing 0 blue. That shouldn't then be followed with 28 83x14s where I see 0, maybe 1 if I'm lucky. I'm not even asking for the good blues to be easy to pack, as I did pack some very nice ones (including Messi), I'm simply asking that the bottom tier ones be packable. Player SBCs. Most of them were rubbish, and the good ones were far too overpriced. Find a balance. Icon picks. Horribly overpriced for the most part, and the 91+ that you released, which was slightly less overpriced, didn't survive and was replaced by a hero pick. Nobody cares about heroes. At least release better heroes (I mean seriously, you couldn't throw in a few hero TOTS cards celebrating some of their best seasons? Lazy) As you can see, most of this is menu related - I see no point talking about gameplay when we all know the gameplay is mostly shocking. Now, a few solutions for you to ignore. Replace exact player rating for SBCs with "average player rating". For example, instead of requiring 5 86s, require a squad of 5 players with an average rating of 86.0-86.5 so we can have flexibility with this. It's a virtual card game, why make our lives so difficult on it? Release a repeatable icon SBC throughout. Make it cheap and unspectacular, but possible to pack a big player. 89+ 1 of 3 for 2 squads or something, any icon. Gives us somewhere to throw our dupe storage when it gets full and the player SBCs don't appeal. As mentioned, Hero TOTS if you're gonna do Hero picks with no cheap icon companion. Heroes are 99% behind the power curve and have been neglected for months. Release a repeatable TOTS pack. Go back to starting TOTS off with the worst cards, drop a repeatable TOTS pack on the Wednesday so we can build some up for the rest of TOTS. Then every Thursday add the current league to it so we have 24 hours to push for players we actually want. You can even require a TOTS in it, I'm not expecting it to be a fully repeatable grind until... During ultimate TOTS, release a TOTS upgrade repeatable, all leagues, 90+ with NO TOTS requirement. Do it on the Tuesday so we have 3 days to have one final push. Make this game fun for God sake. This would make up for the terrible pack weight from upgrade sbcs so we can still do things in the game. Player SBCs. Either make the better sbcs easier to complete or make the easy to complete SBCs better. Most of the attainable players wouldn't even make most people's 3rd best teams. So, I know EA won't take an ounce of this on board as they're historically awful at implementing feedback (even if 99.9% of the player base want the change) so please interact with this yourselves, whether you like my suggestions and complaints or not. I can't be alone in thinking this is what we need - it's very clear on "X" that the player base is frustrated by these very issues. Thanks.There has to be something to make this game fair on rush
This mode is an absolute joke for fairness. the games are so far different in scores it’s a waste of 15 mins of anybody’s life of the matchmaking. tonight I’ve played 8 games. There has been a 10 goal swing in everyone of them. Some for me and many against me. so many times it’s because people don’t wanna play, or just so bad that they still need training wheels mode. surely it’s possible to create an algorithm to match people who play well and ones who are very low skilled. At least my games would be closer. Making the game more enjoyable and keeping people like me playing
Weekend gameplay is terrible
Gameplay this year is the worst ever and playing on weekends is far more worse, I was disconnected more then 10 times while my internet is running smoothly and perfect, too many lags and I play from Egypt 90% of matches are away which makes me at unfair disadvantage, I start playing fut champs on Monday but I want to play my game during weekends I’m having a miserable experience for the game I payed money to own and have fun with it EA said this edition will be better last summer but it’s the worst ever and I expect the same with next edition so I’d be foolish to buy it againCamera angles when you pause the game
I love the cool thing where if you pause the game at old tradford it has an overhead view of the outside of the stadium, I think it would be nice if you guys did that for other iconic stadiums like the Bernabeu, anfield, westfalenstadion, etc. also you guys could even do it for stadiums with a really good views like for example the cadiz stadium or the new everton stadium. I appreciate the teams hard work I hope u guys add this as a way to make the visuals look better when u pause the game
Create-a-Player 'features' request for EA FC 26
Hi EA team, I really appreciate the improvements made in EA FC 25, especially the ability to toggle manager objectives, which shows you do listen to community feedback. However, one longstanding frustration remains: the limited Create-a-Player editing options in Career Mode and Settings. We still can’t edit attributes like Composure, Defensive Awareness, or Skill Moves, nor can we assign PlayStyles or PlayStyle+ to our created players. We can edit Skill moves with the Skill Tree for created Players we created in Player Career specifically and in Pro Clubs we can. Even cosmetic options like tattoos are only available when creating a player in Pro Clubs or Player Career, not in the settings->Create-a-Player menu while there are way more accessories for Pro Clubs that could probably be carried over without bugging the game i assume? The inconsistency of this Problem is confusing and limits customization and creativity. Since these systems are already implemented elsewhere in the game, allowing editing(Even if there are only some Tattoos and Accessories available to be added for whatever reason) in Create-a-Player would enhance immersion and playtime for the offline people without affecting online at all. Please consider prioritizing this for EA FC 26 — it would mean a lot to fans who value deep customization and would definitely increase engagement with the game. Would be nice for this problem to be acknowledged, really.
The game is completely unplayable because of farming bots
Every time I queue into a match, the bots just leave immediately. I haven’t been able to play a single proper game today. Please, do something about these bot accounts. I feel like I’ve wasted my entire day. This happens every time a new season starts—is it really impossible to fix this?"
Banned for nothing
i just bought xbox gamepass and played fc25 with trial not even full version, i was just playing ultimate team with my friends and we all got banned for no reason even my friend who is just played 1 game also banned idk if its bug or not i submit a ticket to ea but its almost half of my subscription so isn't there any way that is faster.
