PS5 Ultimate Team menus freezing (possible Sky Broadband routing issue)
Hi, I’m having ongoing issues with Ultimate Team on PS5 in EA Sports FC 26. Main problems: Ultimate Team menus frequently freeze (e.g. “Updating Store”, “Checking Squads”) Green loading icon spins indefinitely Sometimes get kicked out of Ultimate Team with connection errors Important details: Gameplay is completely fine (around 8 ms ping, no lag in matches) Companion App and Web App work perfectly with no issues Problem only affects FUT menus on console Internet speed is very high (800+ Mbps) NAT Type 2 Key observation: When I connect my PS5 to a mobile hotspot, Ultimate Team loads instantly and works perfectly When I switch back to my home broadband (Sky), the issue returns What I’ve already tried: Reinstalling the game Rebuilding PS5 database Restarting router (including long power-off) Changing DNS settings Testing MTU Using both Ethernet and Wi-Fi Logging out/in of EA account Clearing saved data Conclusion: This appears to be a routing issue between Sky Broadband and EA servers affecting FUT content (menus/store), while gameplay servers work normally. Would appreciate any help or confirmation if this is a known issue.Missing reward from season pass on EA FC26
Dear EA FC team, I've reached level 25 from the season 6 on EAFC26 and did not receive the premium reward (Goalkeeper Oliver Kahn), which I paid money for it. I've tried all the possible solutions, and the player is not in my club, and I have never received it. I've contacted the support, and they don't care about it. I would like to either get my reward or a refund for the premium content. I'm on PS5. Thanks!
Seasons much better than UT - A lot more Responsive
I used to be Elite Division in previous FIFAs, but since FC25 then FC26, max Div2 because of massive input delay and dumb meta mechanics that I refuse to abuse, it's against football intelligence. Some days ago, during UT server maintenance, I decided to go back to play Seasons. I was amazed by the fact that Seasons was not affected by server maintenance, what I assume it does not require a server. So probably it is a peer to peer connection? Responsive was so much better. Passes going to right players. No bounce backs. Manual defending being rewarded. And player base much nicer, no rage even if the guy is loosing 10-2. Nobody abusing stupid mechanics. If you pause the game and stop playing, the guy will wait for you to come back. No toxic celebrations. I usually have 10ms latency, I live fairly close to one of EAs server. Using all recommended stuff to maximize connection quality, I was not supposed to have input delay in UT. The fact that I don't have any input delay in Seasons made me realize I'm not crazy, the reason for bad gameplay is the UT servers! Now I'm going back and forth playing UT and Seasons to compare responsiveness. Just for the sake of testing. Different hours, different days, all the same result, Seasons is a lot better. Feels like the beginning of FC26 without any patch. EA, fix your servers!Add Missing Leagues, Cups & Nations to EA FC 26/27
Dear EA Sports FC Team and Community, I would like to share a detailed look at what EA Sports FC 26 currently includes in terms of licensed competitions, and what important additions are still missing. Adding these missing items in FC26 updates or FC27 would make the game significantly more realistic, enjoyable, and globally appealing. ✅ What FC26 Already Has EA FC 26 currently features more than 35 officially licensed leagues, 20,000+ real players, 750+ clubs and teams, and 120+ authentic stadiums. It includes major competitions like: UEFA Champions League, Europa League, Conference League Major leagues like Premier League, LaLiga EA SPORTS, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 Women’s leagues such as Barclays Women’s Super League and Liga F Moeve These bring excellent realism to Career Mode and Ultimate Team. ❌ Major Missing Leagues That Should Be Added Brazilian Campeonato Brasileiro Série A One of the most followed leagues in the world with huge clubs like Flamengo, Palmeiras, and São Paulo. Adding it would boost Career Mode realism, diversity, and global fan engagement. Mexico’s Liga MX A popular and competitive league in North America with iconic teams. Adding it would expand options for career mode and FUT. ❌ Important National Teams Missing Brazil National Team One of the most iconic football nations in history. Adding it would make international modes and tournaments more exciting and complete. Canada Men’s National Team A rising football nation, recently strong in major tournaments. Its absence is noticeable given its competitive level. Other missing or poorly licensed national teams include some European, African, and Oceania teams — all of which would improve global representation in the game. ❌ Major Competitions & Tournaments That Should Be Included FIFA World Cup (Men’s & Women’s) The biggest global football event. Its absence weakens the international experience. (requires official FIFA license) Copa America A major continental tournament for South American national teams. Would deeply improve international Career Mode and tournament play. Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Highly competitive continental championship with fans worldwide. Adds more meaningful global content. CONCACAF Gold Cup Main North and Central American national team tournament. ❌ Stadiums Still Not Fully Represented Although FC26 has 120+ licensed stadiums, some iconic grounds are still not fully modeled with authentic crowd graphics, pitch details, or atmosphere differences: Historic South American stadiums like Maracanã in Brazil Classic Mexican stadiums like Estadio Azteca Some large national stadiums used in Africa and Asia Adding these stadiums with full authenticity would elevate immersion in Career Mode and Ultimate Team matches. ✅ Why These Additions Matter Global Football Authenticity: More leagues and nations means more realistic football ecosystems. Career Mode Diversity: Players can manage truly global teams and face real rivalries. Ultimate Team Variety: Adds more clubs, cultures, and players for packs, squads, and meta. International Experience: World Cup and continental cups bring top-level drama. By adding these missing leagues, national teams, competitions, and iconic stadiums, EA Sports FC can create a more complete and immersive football simulation that feels truly global and inclusive. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards,I’m officially done!
Moderators you can celebrate. You are finally rid of me!! This will be my last post here... Not because I’m losing. Not because I can’t improve. But because the game has completely lost sight of what it’s supposed to be: Fun. Somewhere along the way, EA forgot that. And worse — the way they treat their player base keeps showing the same thing over and over again: a lack of respect. This isn’t just a “bad patch” or a few bugs. The core of the game is broken. Passing feels like a suggestion, not an input. You can aim perfectly and still get the wrong result, while through balls cut through defenses like logic doesn’t exist. And the worst part? A bad pass isn’t just a mistake — it’s a guaranteed turnover. It doesn’t go slightly off. It doesn’t miss your player. It goes perfectly to the opponent like it’s magnetized. You can win a tackle cleanly — perfect timing, perfect positioning — and the ball just bounces straight back to the attacker like nothing happened. Over and over again. Defending doesn’t feel like skill anymore. Tackles from behind work better than actually defending properly. Physical battles make no sense. Stats feel irrelevant. AI is either asleep or actively working against you. Defenders wander out of position, attackers hide behind opponents, and midfielders react like they’re a few seconds behind real time. Dribbling? Dead. Creativity? Punished. Mechanic abuse? Rewarded. And then there’s how the game actually feels to play. Players are unresponsive. They turn like trucks. Everything feels heavy and delayed — like your inputs have to fight through mud before anything happens. • Players randomly slow down for no reason • First touches turn into disasters • Simple passes become impossible • Speed stats feel meaningless • Input delay makes every match feel different You’re not just playing your opponent — you’re fighting the game itself. Add in servers that feel worse, rewards that don’t match effort, and a system that seems more focused on monetization than player experience, and it’s hard not to see where the priorities are. Even outside gameplay, there are issues. Legit players getting flagged by automated systems with no clear explanation, no transparency, and no real support. That’s not just frustrating — Its treating your players like they are your enemies... That breaks trust. And that’s really what this comes down to. The game doesn’t reward football intelligence. It doesn’t reward good decisions. It doesn’t reward skill. It rewards whoever is best at abusing what’s broken. At that point, what are we even playing? This isn’t competitive. It isn’t realistic. And most importantly — it isn’t fun. Until that changes, u all take care✌️Feature Suggestion: "Check Available Evolutions" Shortcut in Player Context Menu
Hi EA Sports FC Team, I would like to suggest a Quality of Life (QoL) improvement for the FC 26 Companion App and Web App that would significantly enhance the user experience regarding the Evolutions feature. The Problem: Currently, players have to manually navigate to the "Evolutions" tab and scroll through every active Evolution to check if a specific player in their club meets the requirements. This is time-consuming and often confusing, especially when managing a large club. The Solution: Add an "Available Evolutions" option directly within the Player Context Menu (the menu that appears when you click on a player card). How it would work: A user clicks on a player card in their "My Club" or "Squad" view. Among options like "Quick Sell," "List on Market," and "Apply Consumable," there would be a new option: "View Eligible Evolutions." Clicking this would open a filtered view showing only the Evolution paths that this specific player is eligible to enter. The Benefits: Efficiency: Saves players from "menu-hopping" and manual checking. Accessibility: Makes it easier for casual players to discover and engage with the Evolutions feature. Engagement: Encourages more frequent use of the Companion App for club management. I believe this small UI addition would be a huge win for the community. Thank you for your time and for all the work you put into the game! Best regards, NaorEA FIX YOUR GAME WE ARE TIRED TO PLAY THIS DEMO VERSION OF A GAME
Hello EA I’m writing to report several gameplay issues that are seriously affecting my experience. Firstly, player movement feels inconsistent and unresponsive. My players are often out of position without reason, which makes defending very difficult. On top of that, AI defending seems overpowered, with opponents getting a high number of automatic blocks Passing is also a major issue. I frequently experience inaccurate passes, including simple short passes and long balls going in completely the wrong direction. The “Bruiser” mechanic does not appear to be working as intended. My players are often knocked off the ball or sent into the air by opponents using Bruiser, yet no foul is given. Goalkeeping is another concern. My goalkeeper struggles to make even basic saves, while my opponent’s goalkeeper performs unrealistically well, saving nearly every shot. Additionally, I’ve encountered a bug where I’m unable to pause the game, make substitutions, or activate team pressing. These features simply do not respond during matches. Overall, these issues are making the game frustrating and difficult to enjoy. I would appreciate it if you could investigate and address these problems as soon as possible.Connection drops
Is anyone else being kicked out of fc26 whilst playing the game, the message says that I've been disconnected from the ea servers or ultimate team servers. This occurs once every 5 or so minutes but most of the time less than 5 minutes. I have a very stable full fibre network with high speeds and this is not causing the issue. I'm assuming ea has an issue with servers? If not, I don't know what the problem is. Does anyone know whats happening and how to fix it please.
