Gameplay Enhancement Suggestions
Displaying the Opponents Country Flag with an Option to Hide It is suggested to display the opponents country flag before the match starts with an option allowing the player to hide this flag if they wish This addition adds a realistic touch and enhances the global competitive spirit among players Displaying Opponent Statistics Before the Match It is recommended to show key statistics of the opponent such as the number of wins goals scored and medals earned This helps increase the players motivation and fosters a competitive spirit Creating a Country-Based Leaderboard It is proposed to create a global leaderboard ranking countries based on the number of winning players from each country This feature would boost national pride and encourage users to improve their performance Card Investment through Renting We hope to add a feature that allows players to rent out their cards to other players enabling the owner to earn profits such as coins while the renter benefits from using the card under specific ingame conditions Server Selection Option We recommend providing players with the option to manually select their game server due to restrictions on certain connection ports in some countries that may negatively affect smooth gameplay with international players Launching an In Game Club Stock Exchange We propose creating an internal club stock exchange system where players can establish clubs under their names The clubs stock value would increase based on the number of victories and achievements Other players can invest in these clubs and earn ingame rewards such as coins or additional perks Displaying Match History with the Same Opponent It is advisable to add a feature that allows players to review their previous match history against the same opponent including the number of wins losses and draws to enhance tracking and competitive analysis Gender-Based Gameplay Separation It is proposed to separate gameplay between male and female players to support realism especially considering that the majority of players are male while female participation remains limited Reducing Events to a Monthly Schedule We recommend reducing the number of ingame events to one major event per month This would add greater significance to each event and give players ample time to prepare and participate effectively Matchmaking Based on Player Level We request adjusting the matchmaking system so that lowerlevel players face opponents of similar skill levels This ensures fairness balanced chances of winning and helps players gradually improve their skillsImmediately locked out in transfer portal
Has anyone else noticed that they are being locked out of almost every recruit. I have my transfer cap at 30 per team so there are usually around 2,800 in my portal however I could only bring in about 7 or 8 transfers last year because 90% were already in there top 5. That could make sense for the top top players in the portal however when it gets to the 3 stars and even some 4 stars, it gets ridiculous. Even 1 and 2 stars are in there top 5. At the beginning, the only thing that should stop you from recruiting any transfer should be a deal breaker. Let me at least get a chance in week one to bring some people in. I have seen so many 4 star transfer who because they were already in their top 5, no team offered them and no team in their top 5 offered them either meaning that once the transfer portal closed, these guys were deleted from the game. Some of these guys are big names in college football. my proposed solution is that if a player doesn’t have an offer, then their recruiting should be open. Now let’s say that a team has offered them and they had recruited them into a top 5 but then decided to remove their scholarship. My solution would make it so their recruitment would open up again so that they will would have a chance to go somewhere or another team who Wasn’t in their top 5 would have a chance on them. This would apply to high school recruits as well. Last year in CFB 25 I saw a 5 star who was removed from a team’s recruitment and they had locked everyone else out and ended not going anywhere. Another thing I would like to see fixed is that for every player who transfers out, you should be granted an extra scholarship spot when recruiting. Last year I had 51 players either graduate or transfer out, and because of the limit of 35 scholarships per year, I could only bring in 32 meaning I was stuck at 66 players in my roster. Even if I recruiting 35 players I would still not have anywhere near the amount of players I want and should be on a team. Now 32 recruits and transfers does feel like a lot so I should at least be able to choose from a list of walk ons to fill up my roster spots. Let me know what you think.FC 25 servers
I really hope you have something coming by way as an apology for how tragic your servers have been in the past 48 hours. I have tried playing rivals today and have been kicked off the servers in each game, each time receiving the DNF pop up when returning to the menus. This issue is not internet related. This is purely your awful server related. I demand you restore my rivals back to being one win from Div 2 which is where I was before I tried playing your game today. This is the only way I'll be satisfied with how poorly your game has been. There is no excuse for your servers to be THIS bad in 2025. Dial up connection in the mid 00s was nowhere near this slow. Shape up EA and fix your nonsense. Your player base is suffering and your lack of action, solves and silence are all equally as deafening as the other. genuinely embarrassing.Oversimplified Mechanics & Loss of Skill Gap
I've been playing Fifa/FC for many years, and I've noticed a trend that concerns me: the gameplay mechanics are becoming increasingly simplified. Mechanics that once rewarded skill are being replaced by features that remove challenge and execution. Dribbling Dribbling now relies heavily on holding one button (R1) for controlled sprint, allowing players to glide past defenders without needing to learn proper dribbling techniques. In previous games, effective dribbling required mastering traps, feints, short bursts of acceleration, and skill moves. The current system doesn't reward that learning curve, when a single input can be just as effective, it reduces the gap between experienced and new players. It punishes those who took the time to learn the complexity of dribbling and risks alienating the most loyal player base. Tackling Defending feels too automated. I can understand that auto-tackling is useful in certain situations, but players with low standing tackle stats often win the ball just as effectively as those with high stats. Giving the feeling that attributes have less meaning Shooting Outside the box shots, especially trivela and finesse shots are more consistent and dangerous than well-worked chances inside the box. Timed finishing was meant to add depth, but once mastered, it becomes muscle memory rather than a true skill test. Choosing the right shot type in the right moment should matter more than tapping a button twice. The newer free kick system uses a trajectory line showing you exactly where the ball will go. It turns free kicks into something predictable and overly guided. I believe a more natural system, where the players use their own perspective to aim, would be more satisfying and immersive. Gimmick Mechanics Player Lock and Power Shots feel more like gimmicks than skill-based mechanics. Player Lock relies on AI involvement as much as user input, and Power Shots break immersion with unrealistic speed and animation. I feel like past Fifa games would reward you for the time and effort you put in to understand the deeper mechanics. Now it feels like mechanics are simplified to accommodate quick, casual play, which comes at the expense of the skill gap, making high-level mechanics feel irrelevant when low-effort inputs get the same results I'm not sure if everyone would agree, but I wanted to share my thoughts in the hope future iterations of the game consider bringing more depth and skill based mechanics back to the gameplay.
Career Mode
Hello, the feature I'm requesting from you is not difficult to implement and wouldn't take much time. I'm sure that many Career Mode players have been waiting for something like this. For example, when we complete a 5-year career, there could be a special trophy room dedicated to that specific career. It could show which trophies we won during those 5 years, how many matches we played, how many we won, drew, or lost. It could also highlight our top scorer and the player with the most assists. If you add something like this, Career Mode would become a much more enjoyable experience. I truly hope you consider adding this feature to the game.
FC 26 PRO CLUBS THREAD AND DISCUSSION ( IMPORTANT )
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. I know admins will ban me yet again for expressing a VALID and Legit concern as a paying customer. As usual...
