FIFA ultimate team
Hi, I’m looking for some clarification regarding older FIFA games and community-run revival projects. I’ve already read through EA’s Terms of Service and relevant policies, but I’m hoping to get a more specific answer from EA’s legal/IP perspective regarding FIFA, because FIFA is a somewhat unique situation due to EA’s previous licensing agreement with FIFA ending and the series continuing under the EA SPORTS FC name. Some community projects are trying to restore online functionality for older FIFA titles where EA has officially shut down the original online services. This can include Ultimate Team, online seasons, matchmaking and other online features that are no longer supported by EA. If a project is completely non-profit, doesn’t charge users, doesn’t distribute EA’s game files or copyrighted assets, and only provides replacement/community servers to allow players to use online functionality that EA has discontinued, could EA still request that the project be taken down? I’d also like to know whether the situation differs between individual FIFA titles, such as FIFA 17, FIFA 18 and FIFA 19, particularly where EA has already shut down the official online services for those games. Most importantly, does EA still retain the relevant rights over the older FIFA games themselves, including their game code, Ultimate Team systems, online infrastructure, branding and other game-specific IP, despite EA no longer holding the FIFA licensing partnership? I understand the general EA Terms of Service may cover this, but I’m specifically looking for clarification from an EA legal/IP perspective on FIFA revival projects, rather than a general answer about EA games. I’m not asking for legal advice — I’d just appreciate knowing EA’s actual position on this specific situation. Thanks.FC 27 Closed Beta - Original and Replacement Codes Both Rejected on PS5
Hi EA team, I received an FC 27 Closed Beta code, but PlayStation rejected the code when I tried to redeem it. I then used EA's official Beta Code Tool and received a replacement code, but the replacement code is also rejected by PlayStation. I contacted EA Support via Live Chat, and the advisor confirmed that Beta code issues are being handled by the FC 27 Beta team on the forums. Could a Community Manager or Beta team member please check why both my original and replacement codes are being rejected? Platform: PS5 Region: North America PlayStation account and The USA EA account I have screenshots showing the issue and can provide them if needed. Thank you.FC 27 Ultimate Edition missing on Epic Games Store
Hello EA Team, I noticed that EA SPORTS FC 27 Ultimate Edition is available for pre-order on Steam and the EA App. However, the Epic Games Store currently only shows the Standard Edition. Epic Games Support informed me that the availability of each edition is determined by the game publisher and advised me to contact EA directly. Could you please confirm whether the Ultimate Edition will be available on the Epic Games Store, or if there is currently a delay in the store listing? Thank you.
