Discrimination
Subject: Concern Regarding Potential Discrimination in EAFC 24 Player Awards Dear EA Sports Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to raise a serious concern regarding a recurring issue I’ve experienced in EAFC 24 Career Mode, which I believe may reflect bias or discrimination based on nationality or ethnicity. I have consistently maintained the highest player rating and performance statistics over eight consecutive in-game seasons. Despite this, my created player — registered as South African — has never won the Ballon d'Or, even while breaking records and leading in all key performance areas. I accepted this lack of recognition for a while, assuming it was perhaps random or statistical. However, after winning back-to-back UEFA Champions League titles — an achievement that in every previous season triggered a Ballon d'Or award for other players — the award was not given to anyone at all. This is extremely disappointing and raises questions about whether the game algorithm treats players differently based on the nationality or origin chosen during character creation. This experience has led me to question: Is this a bug, or is there an inherent bias in the system? Would the same outcome occur had I registered my player as European or from a more widely represented region? As a dedicated supporter of EA Sports and a proud African gamer, I believe that fair representation matters, especially in a game enjoyed by people from every corner of the world. I kindly ask that this matter be investigated and clarified. I look forward to your response. Kind regards,Manager Mode: Manager Popularity Rating not working

Hello EA, Since FIFA 20, I've been creating players to make custom teams to create tournaments with multiple countries, including Algeria, Senegal, Madagascar, etc. But now, with the rule that only a maximum of 50 players can be created, I can't complete my teams. EA, please, can you remove this limit?FC 25 Live start points - missing face scans added after the date.
Hello, purchased FC25 this week and earlier today I decided to get started on my 1st career mode. I wanted to select the october 28th live start point with Manchester United, the last under Erik Ten Hag as manager. The problem for me is that this save is missing the face scans of players both at Man Utd and the promoted premier league clubs that are in the game. Sours the experience to be missing so many face scans of relevant players, including those at my club or transfer targets. Could you please make the change to include the new face scans for all the live start points?Career Save File Corruption -“Appears to be damaged” Error
Hi, I'm facing a recurring issue with Career Mode in EA Sports FC 25 (PC/Steam) where my save files consistently get corrupted once they reach exactly 14,575 KB. After that point, trying to load the career gives me this message: "The save file appears to be damaged and cannot be used. If you choose to delete the damaged file, it will be removed from your storage device." This has happened in three different careers, even after: Fully deleting the Settings folder Clean reinstalling the game Disabling Cloud Save (Steam and EA App) Verifying game files Using different career names and slots Each time, the file size reaches exactly 14,575 KB and then breaks. I suspect there's a file size limit or memory bug involved. I’ve backed up the .sav files and I’m happy to share them for technical inspection. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.Edit mode in FC 26
Hi EA team, I’d like to suggest an improvement for Career Mode — the ability to edit kits, crests, names and sponsors for unlicensed teams in all platforms. Reasons: 1. Similar to Konami’s Option Files in PES, players could import custom kits, logos, fonts and sponsors. You could implement a similar system. 2. On the “Edit kits” forum many users request the option to customize kit parts (shirt, shorts, socks) — either via colour palette, or by allowing PNG imports for crests and logos (cite included). 3. The editor could be restricted to unlicensed teams only (e.g. Bergamo Calcio, Latium... ), so it wouldn’t conflict with existing licensing agreements. Suggested features: - Replace textures for shirt, shorts, socks separately - Upload logos, sponsors, numbers via PNG - Activate only for teams without real license - Change team names This would greatly improve Career Mode experience as it is annoying to play for/against AC or Inter Milan with random kits or names. Thank you for considering this request! Best regardsSuggestions For Career Mode EA FC 26
1. Add unique “frustration” animations for each player when they miss a golden opportunity. 2. Introduce “greedy reaction” animations for Atalanta defender Isak Hien (e.g., during the UEFA Champions League playoff match against Club Brugge) when he placed his hand on Club Brugge striker Nelson’s chest inside the box, resulting in a penalty call. Bonus suggestion: Allow viewers to trigger custom celebration animations on TV/monitor by pressing dedicated buttons (similar to post-goal celebrations). 3. Add animations for opposing fans’ reactions when a player celebrates a goal in front of them. 4. Substitution realism: Substituted players can shake hands with teammates, exit the field, watch from the bench, and drink water or juice. 5. Player protest during substitutions: Include animations of visibly upset players when substituted (e.g., Sadio Mané’s famous protest toward Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool). 6. Pre-match training routines: Let players train in gyms, saunas, jacuzzis, and aerobic facilities at their home stadium days before crucial matches (e.g., Barcelona vs. Dortmund in the Champions League). On matchday, allocate 15–20 minutes for both teams to practice stretches, set pieces, and drills on half the pitch, condensed into a 5-minute sequence to avoid tester fatigue. 7. Technical staff analytics: Coaches and analysts hold tablets during matches to review and explain opponents’ weaknesses to the manager. 8. Post-match interviews: The Man of the Match receives a tournament-specific award (e.g., the Champions League trophy). Use prerecorded player voices (studio-recorded pre/post scanning) for interview responses. Testers can choose from 3–4 dialogue options for players’ replies to journalists. 9. Custom celebrations for the top 10 league players using motion-capture technology. 10. In-game player chatter: Top 10 league players speak in their native language or English during matches, each with unique voice lines. 11. Head-injury realism: Add blood effects when players clash heads in aerial duels. Medical teams treat injuries on the field (e.g., applying white bandages or stitching cuts without anesthesia, similar to Dutch player Strapp’s eyebrow stitches). 12. Custom pitch design: Unique grass textures and colors for each top-10-league team’s home stadium. 13. Tattoo customization: Add 50+ tattoo designs for players’ arms and legs. 14. Stadium snacks: Include animations of fans eating or drinking (e.g., popcorn, beer, pizza, soft drinks). 15. Story mode revolution: Create a unique narrative (à la Alex Hunter) set in 1754, featuring Pele-esque gameplay with period-accurate stadiums, muddy pitches, and vintage kits. 16. Pitch invasions by animals: Dogs, cats, squirrels, frogs, etc., referencing real-world football incidents. 17. Selfie mode: Let pitch invaders like Jimmy Jump take selfies with their favorite players. 18. World Cup stars: Add a star to each national team’s jersey logo for every World Cup title they’ve won. 19. Pre-match strength training: Players visit the gym two days before an official match to perform exercises—such as bench press, leg press, and barbell lifts—according to the program provided by their strength and conditioning coach. 20. In the Settings menu, under Edit Real Player, we want to be able to select any number of players and change their nationality to whatever we like, lower their age all the way down to 12 years old, and add any variety of arm and leg tattoos to our chosen players. 21. In Player Career, we should be able to sign a 5-, 6-, or even 7-year contract with a club, so that we’re not forced to negotiate a new deal every single year—unless our player wants to move clubs and has received compelling offers from elsewhere. 22. We should be able to play at least 30 seasons—i.e., 30 years—in Player Career with our chosen player, and retirement should be entirely up to the user. Also, include a special “farewell match” for our player at the end of their career in Player Career. 23. In Player Career, at the start or mid-season, our player should have the option to request a loan for one or two years to help them develop their skills. 24. In the Settings menu, under Edit Real Player, we want to be able to set our player’s potential growth rating—for example, increasing Jude Bellingham’s potential rating up to 99. 25. In both Player Career and Manager Career, whenever our chosen club (for example, Manchester United) wins the league or the Champions League in any season, add a star above the club badge on the kit for each Champions League title, and place a Champions League winners’ badge in the center of the shirt for every season they win it. 26. A very important feature in Real Player Career: we want to be able to raise our player’s Skill Moves to 4 or 5 stars, and add 2, 3, or 4 Playstyle Plus traits to our player. Thank You EA Team 🙏
Reject all option/button for youth player reports
Please add a 'reject all' button in the youth scout reports for EA FC 26. It's so unnecessarily time-consuming to reject each youth player individually every single time. It would be so easy to implement but would make such a difference for players like myself who use and enjoy the youth scouting so much. Please look into this and see for yourselves; it will take a few minutes to review this and see that it needs adding. There are already 3 buttons in use, so that leaves one button left for this option that should be there (X button on an Xbox controller for example). If you press X, it should give you an option to reject ALL players. Usually, 99% of youth players wont be signed, so when I'm finished scrolling through them all and I can see that none of them are good enough, then it makes sense for me to have an option to instantly discard them all. It allows us as players to very easily cherry-pick the youth players that we want to keep and then get back to other parts of the game rather than taking needless amounts of time to manually reject each player; this can become extremely tedious if you use youth scouting as much as I do.
