Help
Hello, I submitted a ban appeal for EA SPORTS FC 25 (Gamepass version) more than 6 days ago. The case number is #213568234 and it still shows as "In Progress", but I haven't received any updates or replies. I didn’t cheat or break any rules, and I just want to be able to play the game normally. Please let someone from the support team check my case. I’ve tried contacting EA Support via the help site, but I couldn’t find any live chat or contact options under FC 25. Thanks in advance for your help.
FC25 Online Friendlies Matchmaking Feels Broken and Unfair
I’m posting this in the hope that someone at EA Canada sees it and considers looking into the current matchmaking system in Online Friendlies. I’ve been playing FIFA since 1995. I’m 35 now, and I’ve bought and played every version since then, including every iteration of Ultimate Team since FIFA 09. I only say that to make it clear I’m not new to the game. I’ve been with it for over two decades, so I’d like to think my feedback carries some weight. Every year, the gameplay changes. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not, but I’ve accepted that as part of the experience. Unlike many players, I don't complain about input lag, scripting, or DDA. I used to grind Weekend League every weekend until I realised my mental health wasn’t worth the stress. These days, I just play to complete objectives and earn rewards. That means Rush, Squad Battles, Online Friendlies, and the occasional Rivals match. Since I barely touch Rivals, I’m currently in Division 8. This week, I logged on to try and complete the TOTS Premier League Cup and earn the Honourable Mentions Mateta card. On Tuesday night, I played 9 games - lost every single one. I messaged each opponent afterward to ask what Rivals division they were in. Every reply I got said Division 3 or higher. Last night, I gave it another go. Played 14 more games, won 4, and lost 10. So that’s 23 games with only 4 wins. And that brings me to the real issue: matchmaking in Online Friendlies is completely unbalanced. I get that it’s supposed to be based on whether you finish matches and your win/loss ratio, but whatever the system is doing, it’s not working. When I load into a match, I expect to play someone close to my level, maybe slightly better or slightly worse. That makes for a balanced game where both players have a fair shot. But right now? I’m constantly being paired with elite-level players who completely wipe the floor with me. Some matches ended 6–1, 9–0, 5–0, it’s not even close. And honestly, it’s exhausting. After a long day at work, I want to unwind with a game I’ve loved most of my life. But lately, every session leaves me feeling worse. I’m not saying I need to win all the time, but if I’m losing 10+ games in a row, the fun is completely gone. Skill-based matchmaking in Online Friendlies is not working and needs serious attention going into FC26. TL;DR: Lifelong FIFA player here. Online Friendlies matchmaking in FC25 is totally broken. I’m constantly matched against players way above my level, and it’s making the game frustrating and joyless.
EA’s pathetic fc25 showcase glitch
I have the glitch where my fc25 is restricted because I’m stuck in the ridiculous showcase instead of the full game. I have brought the full game on ps5 and after multiple deletion tries I still can’t access the full game. It’s an annoying issue and I can’t see EA providing the appropriate help to counter this issue as far as I’m concerned. Someone please assist me in this
Slow game
I dont what is with this game ! I had a couple of months of nice fluid even fast game and this week from the 15/06/2025 the game is scattering and slow. I mean its frustrating because I can't actually enjoy it anymore. I post few month back the same problem and observe afterward the game become much more fluid. So for the technical aspect check my previous post. Please make it more fluid for my configuration i7 1050ti 16gGetting on correct server
Hey everyone, Playing Ultimate Team on Nintendo Switch and constantly getting random ping when searching for Rivals or Champs matches—from 16ms (ideal), 36, 70, 90 to 110ms. If it’s not 16 or 36ms, I have to close and restart the game until I land on a good server. It’s super time-consuming, especially with the Switch’s slow menus and matching. Once I get on a server, most matches stay that consistent ping 16, 36, etc. its crazy im matching with people in Japan and Europe. My matchmaking setting is also set to local. Do players on PC or other consoles deal with this too? Any way to consistently get matched to local servers?Dribble mechanics discuss
hi i'm a self taught game developer. I'm making a football game in unreal engine 5. I notice that in game when we press left stick once while dribbling then release, the player quickly decelerates, animation transition from jogging to walking follow the ball then stop when the ball's vector is about zero. I wanna ask devs about the mechanics/logic behind this as a guide/direction for me, i just want to understand and have to do it all myself of course. Thanks in advance.
