Secure Boot asking for refund .
Good morning. I am writing because, due to the changes you made to the game, I am no longer able to play; my computer locks up because of the new Secure Boot requirements you introduced. The product I purchased from you was not cheap, and I would like to request a refund. As a consumer, I have this right because the product was altered after my purchase—half the content I paid for was removed, and the changes make it completely impossible for me to play the game I bought. After applying your recommended settings, my computer freezes and an error appears, making it very difficult to revert to factory settings.FC 27 Chairman Mode
Hello EA and FC community, first of all thank you for your efforts. I am a football fan who has been enjoying playing EA FC for a long time. Career Mode is especially the most important game mode for me. Among the rumors and leaks about the upcoming FC 27, the possibility of a Chairman Mode (Owner Mode) is what excites me the most. I have a few questions about this: Is it planned to add a “Chairman Mode” to FC 27 Career Mode, or is this purely a community rumor? If it is added, what kind of authority will we have as players in this mode—will we have full control over club finances, sponsorships, stadium management, youth development, and hiring managers? Is there any officially confirmed information or timeline from EA regarding the development of this mode? I believe this feature would bring a completely new level of strategy and depth to the game, and I would be very happy if any official statement or hint could be shared on this topic. Thank you in advance and best regards.

They do not chase glory or secrets; they stand where failure would ripple outward. To be a Sentinel is to accept stillness as a duty to watch the gates long after others have logged off. Their creed is simple: nothing breaks on their watch without warning. Function Sentinels are defenders of accounts, systems, and digital identity. They focus on prevention, secure practices, threat mitigation, and resilience, teaching others how to stay protected before anything goes wrong. Emblem Meaning The helmet is not a weapon, but a promise. It symbolizes vigilance, preparedness, and the quiet strength of someone who stands between chaos and everyone else. It hides the face because the role matters more than the individual. Scout Emblem: The Hawk Story Scouts see what others dismiss as noise. From high above the systemscape, they trace weak signals, subtle delays, patterns that don’t quite fit. Many crises are stopped not by force, but by a single Scout asking the right question at the right time. Function Scouts specialize in early detection and diagnosis. They identify emerging threats, suspicious behavior, and hidden causes behind visible problems. Where others see errors, Scouts see intent. Emblem Meaning The hawk represents elevated perspective and precision. Its sharp gaze reflects the Scout’s mindset: fast, alert, and intolerant of blind spots. It is always in motion, always scanning. Archivist Emblem: The Fox Story The Archivists learned early that knowledge without structure decays into noise. They gather fragments of articles, incidents, lessons learned, and weave them into an understanding. In times of confusion, they are sought not only for answers, but also for context. Function Archivists interpret and organize knowledge. They summarize, document, explain, and preserve information through guides, FAQs, and structured resources that others can rely on long after the moment has passed. Emblem Meaning The fox symbolizes intelligent adaptability and careful organization. Clever but not reckless, it reflects the Archivist’s ability to navigate complexity and emerge with clarity intact. Cipher Emblem: The Owl Story Ciphers walk the boundary between sense and paradox. They delight in locked doors, twisted logic, and problems that refuse direct solutions. Where rules feel rigid, Ciphers bend perspective until a new path appears. Function Ciphers engage with puzzles, obfuscation, lateral problem-solving, and experimental thinking. They challenge assumptions, explore unconventional solutions, and thrive in intellectual uncertainty. Emblem Meaning The owl is the keeper of hidden wisdom, alert in the dark, silent until insight strikes. It reflects the Cipher’s relationship with mystery: not to dispel it immediately, but to learn from it. Shared Universe Together, these four classes form a balanced system: Sentinels protect Scouts detect Archivists preserve Ciphers challenge None outrank the others; each answers a different kind of threat. In a universe built on information, survival depends not on strength alone, but on awareness, memory, and imagination.
