Can’t Find Opponents in Ultimate Team – Division Rivals Time Lost
Hello EA Support, I cant find any opponents in EA FC 26 Ultimate Team Division Rivals. It keeps saying Searching for opponent and never connects. I already tried everything: restarted router, disabled crossplay, flushed DNS, renewed IP, and checked NAT type but nothing works. I just came back from my night shift and wanted to finish my Division Rivals games before the weekly deadline but I lost all my time because of this issue. Please fix this problem or compensate players who missed matches because of the server issue. Platform: PC Region: Germany (EU Servers) Issue start time: 2 Hrs ago“Connecting to ultimate team is not possible at the moment”
I was playing gauntlet Tuesday. Was kicked out of ultimate team. since then, whenever I try load ultimate team I am greeted with “connecting to ultimate team is not possible at the moment” I’ve tried every single fix under the sun and nothing works. anyone has this issue?BRING BACK WIDTH ADJUSTMENT + FIX FORMATIONS AND ROLES!
Chemistry and Positions EA needs to drop the realism gimmick. This is a game, not a simulation. It makes no sense that a professional RW cant play LW because of position locks. Top athletes can adapt - maybe less effective, but still functional! The old chemistry drop (10 to 7) made far more sense when playing someone out of position. Let us manage our own club. It should be our tactical choice - not a system restriction. Bring back managerial freedom! Menus and Game Modes Neglect Every year we are told menus are revamped, yet they are never finished. Once sales targets are met, support stops. We were promised stadium customization back in 2021. Four years later, we still cant search or filter stadiums, kits, or badges, or the option to search for long sleeve kit. Moments mode was meant to be a fast, fun alternative to Squad Battles. It hasnt been updated for months. Formations and Tactical Imbalance Formation behavior has hit rock bottom. Old, balanced systems are now unplayable because of Roles and neglected tactical tuning. 4-3-2-1 needs a narrow variant with a CDM and inside forwards (LF/RF). 4-2-3-1 and 4-2-2-2 play like a 4-2-4. CAMs push too high. 4-4-2 (standard): CMs move higher than LM/RM, even with balanced instructions. Wide players ignore all defensive duties. Inside forwards, wingers, and wide midfielders do not respond to any defensive role. CMs: Defensive midfielder, yet the description says offers themselves in attacking phase. Wasn't he a defensive midfielder? 4-4-2 (2) CDM: Far too wide wingers, wide CDMs, wide strikers and unsynchronized. Huge gaps between lines, no compactness. Gameplay / Rewards Finishing is horrible. Power shots, driven shots, finesse - all unreliable unless tied to a PlayStyle+, which still is barely good enough. Competitive balance is gone; Division 1 players can lose to Division 10 opponents in chaotic, random matches because of the lack of tactical variation, lack of skill gap, and lack of attacking mechanics. Rewards/Red Picks were never the issue – the content inside them was. Bring them back with better rewards and Evo integration. Skill Expression and Reward Players who have mastered advanced mechanics – cancels, directional exits, ball rolls, McGeady cancels – aren’t rewarded anymore. The game rewards straight-line running and low-effort play over creativity or precision. Draft and Motivation Draft is the same as FIFA 19 – outdated interface, broken chemistry, repetitive teams. There’s no excitement left. Nobody pays 80 dollars to scroll menus and look at 45 different store packs. What EA Needs To Do: Add new and updated formations, including modern systems used by top managers. Rework and update all other formations. Manually fix formation width, attacking and defensive AI, and player positioning across all setups. Or give us the option ASAP until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Reduce the distance between the striker and the rest of the team – attacks constantly break apart. Fix 4-4-1-1, where CAM and ST push too far forward with no support. CMs should act as deep-lying playmakers who defend, not statues, and wingers must actively attack and defend until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Fix 4-2-3-1 so half-wingers actually track back, and Playmaker + Build Up creates a CAM that defends realistically like the come-back-on-defence mechanic until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. In 4-4-2 and 4-4-1-1, CMs should behave closer to CDMs, not acting like shadow strikers leaving all defensive duties until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Wingers in 4-4-2, 4-4-1-1 etc. must be able to track back, not stand still watching the defence suffer until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Buff finishing outside the box. Give all wingers the opportunity to play on both wings until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Bring back Red Picks. Fix Moments. Fix transfer market filters (stadiums, kits). Fix 4-2-3-1 CAMs and 4-2-2-2 half-wingers so they defend and stay compact. Fix CM behavior in 4-4-2 and 4-4-1-1 so they don’t stand still waiting to crash the box until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Allow wide midfielders and wingers to defend. Provide more Role+ and Role++ options for wide midfielders. Allow wingers to play in central formations (4-3-2-1 / 4-2-3-1 / 4-2-2-2) until you bring back the Legacy system from FUT 23. Add a Defend and Support instruction for LM, RM, RW, LW, and CAM. Add a Stay Central option for CAM and ST. All these solutions would be half-decent until you bring back the legacy system. The game hasn’t been half-decent since the switch from FIFA to FC IQ. IQ is the biggest lie of them all. The tactical system peaked in 23, where we had 33 chem but could still play players out of position, like RW Jairzinho lining up at LW. Does EA even realise how insanely hard it is to build a good team now? No red picks, no icon picks, no icon swaps, barely any player picks. I haven’t packed anything useful since FIFA 23. Example of why, EA should allow us to field our best XI: Pretty sure, i had nothing else than bronzes left in the club, after grinding, Cruyff, Jairzinho, Kaka, Alonso, Zidane, Cafu, Ramos all were SBC! Everything is untradeable, so after months of grinding you sit with great players you can’t even fit. Imagine packing Jairzinho or Zidane and wanting them in 4222 or 4231 – what then? Zidane at CDM? Kaká out wide in 4411? It’s not a free game. We grind every week, coin balance sits at 10–20k, and we still get punished. And then I'm expected to bench Kaká or Jairzinho because the game won’t let me use my own players where I want? Just let us place our best cards anywhere like before. Stop forcing restrictions. We play the game – give us control over our own squads.
What the heck is going on?????
I have zero control over my team since the latest patch. I hoped that after the server maintenance the gameplay would at least be a little better, but no. My players are slower, weaker, out of position, defensively worse than a bronze team. What is going on with the gameplay????? My opponent however, his team is much stronger, much faster and literally every pass imaginable has a receiver. I was happy that I was able to make a short pass to my player 2 meters apart. I am sick and tired of this game and it will be the last game, for good. I swear, there's never been another game so stressful, so infuriating, so unrewarding, so frustrating, than FC/Fifa!!! I really don't know how EA does it. How can they still be in the business with literal trash games each year!?!
Bring Back VOlTA!
Hey EA team, I really think you should bring VOLTA back. In FC 24, it was honestly perfect — complete, stylish, and full of fun. Then in FC 25, you changed it to “3v3” and removed goalkeepers. We accepted that and moved on, even though it was a big downgrade. But now, in FC 26, VOLTA is gone completely — and there’s really no logical reason for that. It doesn’t hurt anyone to keep it in the game. Those who enjoy it will play it, and those who don’t can simply ignore it. You wouldn’t lose anything by keeping it, but you’d make a lot of players very happy. Please reconsider bringing VOLTA back. It was pure football fun — colorful, creative, and one of the best ways to just enjoy the game with friends. ⚽💛
EAFC 26 keeps crashing – EAAntiCheatService exit code 0xC0000005
Hi, I'm experiencing constant crashes in EAFC 26 on PC. The game closes after 2-5 minutes in a match without any error popup. Event Viewer shows: EAAntiCheatService The game fc26.exe exited unexpectedly, exit code: 0xC0000005 My specs: - CPU: Intel Core i9-13900KF - GPU: NVIDIA RTX 2080 (tested with latest driver 581.42 and rollback 552.44) - RAM: 32 GB DDR5 - OS: Windows 11 64-bit (Memory Integrity ON) Troubleshooting already tried: - Reinstalled EA App, EAFC 26, and EA Anti-Cheat - Changed installation folder and drive - Updated and rolled back NVIDIA drivers - Reinstalled Visual C++ Redistributables (x86 and x64) - Ran sfc /scannow and DISM - Disabled all overlays and background apps - Memory Integrity ON in Core Isolation Despite all this, the game still crashes mid-match with the same Anti-Cheat error. Please escalate this issue – it seems to be a bug with EA AntiCheat.I haven't received my pre order perks fc26
I ordered before 26 August and still haven’t received any of my perks in FC26. I have already Restarted my PS5, Reinstalled FC26, Restored licenses but nothing works. I even contacted chat support, waited 2 hours, only for unqualified support to tell me to post here in the forums for other members to upvote. This is so frustrating. I can't even play any of the game modes because of a poor team.
