Rampant Leaks are Killing the Magic of Ultimate Team
Content leaks have completely destroyed the sense of mystery, community anticipation, and genuine excitement that used to define Ultimate Team promos. Then vs. Now : The Golden Era of Anticipation: In previous titles (such as Futmas in FIFA 19), the buildup to daily content was an event in itself. The community actively engaged with clever loading screen teasers, deciphered national flags, kit numbers, and player riddles, and eagerly counted down to the 6 PM content drop. That collective guessing game and authentic suspense were the lifeblood of the community. The Current State of Spoilers : Today, that excitement is entirely replaced by premature spoilers. Days or even weeks ahead of time—and currently over a full week before the game has even officially launched—the entire roadmap is out in the open. The community already knows the season ladder rewards, upcoming promo concepts, and the exact player selections featured in the very first promo squads. Impact: Knowing everything well in advance turns what should be a thrilling, dynamic live service into a predictable chore. It robs the game of its spark, renders teaser campaigns obsolete, and kills the organic thrill of discovering new content alongside the rest of the community on launch day. Proposed Solution: Overhaul backend data security and delay pushing unreleased promo assets, card designs, and database IDs to public-facing Web App APIs or local game builds until minutes before their official release. Restoring strict confidentiality is essential to bringing back the authentic hype and mystery of content drops. I have discussed this topic at length in several other articles regarding FC 26, but ultimately, the situation is exactly the same.

Early Access
Dear EA, Pre ordering games has loads of perks, specially if you opt for the higher tier editions. One of those perks is early access to the game. With the ultimate edition and above, players get a whole week of early access which all fine and dandy. However, for people who pre orders the standard edition they only get 1 HOUR. I myself pre orders the standard edition because quite frankly splashing over $100 on a game seems a bit excessive. So I don’t find it fair that even if we pre order a game and not buy it on launch day or in November when your game goes for half the price, that we at least don’t get to play the game 1 DAY in advance. Please allow those who pre order the standard edition a respectable early access to the game. And I think 1 DAY is more than fair compared to the whole week the other people get. thank you.Ultimate Team: Kit Scarcity & Bring Back Starter Kits
Summary: The Ultimate Team Transfer Market suffers from a severe scarcity of authentic club kits. Players are routinely unable to find or represent the teams they support due to a dry supply chain driven by untradable pack weight. Legacy vs. Current System Comparison: The Old Approach: In earlier titles, players explicitly selected their starter kits, which were frequently tradable. This ensured an abundant, continuous supply of domestic and international kits on the market from day one. The Current Meta: Kits are almost exclusively sourced through untradable reward packs, choking the market supply and rendering popular club kits practically extinct. Market & Gameplay Impact: Popular kits either do not exist on the market or appear only at extinct maximum price caps, forcing players into sniping wars just to obtain basic cosmetic club identity items. Proposed Solutions: Bring Back Tradable Starter Kits: Restore the classic club setup system allowing players to pick tradable home and away kits at club creation. Dedicated Cosmetic Hub / SBCs: Introduce repeatable club pick SBCs or a fixed-price catalog allowing players to purchase their favorite team's official kits directly.Please add Alex de Souza as a Hero/lcon in FC 27
Hello EA SPORTS FC Team, I would like to suggest adding Alex de Souza to EA SPORTS FC 27 as a Hero or Icon. Alex de Souza is a legendary Brazilian footballer who became a huge icon at Fenerbahçe. He is especially loved by Fenerbahçe fans and is remembered as one of the greatest players in the club's history. I believe adding Alex de Souza to FC 27 would be amazing for Fenerbahçe fans, Turkish football fans and the EA SPORTS FC community. Please consider adding him to the game. It would be incredible to see Alex de Souza in Ultimate Team! Thank you!Spending Money in FC 27 Doesn't Feel Worth It
I've been playing since Early Access and have spent over $3,000 USD on FC Points. Honestly, I don't see any advantage in spending money on this game anymore. The pack returns are terrible, and after opening countless packs, it still feels impossible to build the squad I want. Spending money should at least feel rewarding, but right now it just feels like throwing money away. Another issue is the objectives. Why are we constantly forced to play AI matches every day? This is a football game. Most of us just want to play Rivals, Champs, Rush, or other online modes. The objectives should fit naturally into gameplay instead of feeling like daily chores. And can we talk about Erling Haaland? He's one of the best strikers of this generation, yet many of his cards feel average and become outdated almost immediately. A player with his achievements should feel like a top-tier superstar in-game, not just another pack filler. My feedback is simple: Make spending money feel worthwhile. Stop forcing players into repetitive AI objectives. Give elite players like Haaland cards that actually reflect their real-world status. Curious if other players feel the same.PLEASE BRING MY GRANDFATHER JAN JARKOVSKÝ TO EA SPORTS FC 27 ❤️🇨🇿
Dear EA SPORTS FC team, I am writing this because I have a very personal dream: I would love to see my grandfather, Jan Jarkovský, remembered in EA SPORTS FC 27. Jan Jarkovský was a Czechoslovak footballer who played for Bohemians Prague and represented Czechoslovakia during the 1970s. 🇨🇿 JAN JARKOVSKÝ — CAREER Position: Striker Born: 16 January 1947 Height: 175 cm Weight: 70 kg Club: Bohemians Prague Nationality: Czechoslovakia 🇨🇿 INTERNATIONAL CAREER Czechoslovakia: 5 international appearances Goals: 0 International period: 1973–1975 He represented Czechoslovakia against some of the strongest national teams of his generation. One of the most important moments of his career came on: 🇧🇷 Brazil 1–0 Czechoslovakia 📅 7 April 1974 🏟️ Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro Jan played for Czechoslovakia in front of the huge Maracanã crowd. After the match, my grandfather exchanged his shirt directly with Brazilian defender Marinho Chagas. Our family has preserved that Brazil No. 6 shirt to this day. That shirt is incredibly special to us because it is a physical connection between my grandfather and one of the most memorable matches of his career. He also played against France in the famous 3–3 match on 27 April 1974, as well as against Scotland during this period. 🟢 BOHEMIANS PRAGUE Jan had an important spell with Bohemians Prague in the Czechoslovak First League. Some of his recorded league seasons include: 1973/74: 26 appearances — 8 goals 1974/75: 28 appearances — 6 goals 1975/76: 27 appearances — 6 goals Across his First League career, he recorded around 133 league appearances and 29 goals, with some historical databases giving slightly different totals depending on which competitions and records are included. He also made 2 appearances in European competitions. ❤️ WHY THIS WOULD MEAN SO MUCH TO ME For EA, Jan Jarkovský might simply be a historical footballer from an older generation. For me, he is my grandfather. I grew up with his football story and with the memorabilia that he kept from his career. I have seen the shirts, heard the stories, and learned about the matches he played in. I would love to be able to open EA SPORTS FC one day and see his name in the game. I know that there are thousands of great footballers throughout football history, and I understand that adding a player to FC is a complicated process. I am not asking because I think my grandfather was the most famous footballer of his generation. I am asking because football history is made up of more than just the biggest names. Players like Jan Jarkovský were part of an era of football that deserves to be remembered. And his story has something very special: A Czechoslovak international playing at the Maracanã against Brazil in 1974, followed by a shirt exchange with Marinho Chagas — with that shirt still preserved by his family today. That is a piece of football history that I would love to see represented in EA SPORTS FC. 🎮 FAN-MADE FC 27 CARD CONCEPT If EA ever considered creating a historical card for him, this would be my personal fan-made concept: JAN JARKOVSKÝ 🇨🇿 ST — Bohemians Prague / Czechoslovakia OVR: 75 PAC: 76 SHO: 78 PAS: 72 DRI: 75 DEF: 38 PHY: 68 Weak Foot: ★★★★ Skill Moves: ★★★ Possible PlayStyles: ⚽ Finesse Shot 🎯 First Touch 🏃 Rapid 🧠 Technical 🎯 Poacher Special moment: 🇧🇷 Brazil vs Czechoslovakia — Maracanã, 7 April 1974 These ratings are only my fan-made idea, not official historical EA ratings. 🙏 MY REQUEST Please consider Jan Jarkovský for FC 27 — whether as an ICON, HERO, historical player, or another form of football-history recognition. I would be incredibly grateful if someone at EA took the time to look at his story. I can provide photographs, match information, memorabilia, and other evidence documenting his career. For most people, it might be just another player card. For me, it would be something much bigger. He had a lot of offers from Germany/Austria, but my grandma told him he should focus on his family, and he couldn't go:( It would be my grandfather's legacy living on in the game I love. Thank you very much for reading this. ❤️ Jan Jarkovský 🇨🇿 Czechoslovakia international Bohemians PragueQuick Sell Recovery Section in game
The Quick Sell Recovery feature has been restricted strictly to the Web and Companion Apps for a long time. Additionally, the feature frequently freezes, glitches, or fails to load properly on the Web/Companion app—especially when trying to recover items from a large history of quick-sold players. Proposed Solutions: In-Game Console Integration: Add a dedicated Quick Sell Recovery section directly inside the console/PC game menu (under Club management), so players can easily recover discarded players without needing an external device. Web/Companion App Performance Fixes: Resolve the UI freezing and loading issues on the Web and Companion Apps when handling large volumes of quick-sold items to ensure a smooth recovery process.Signature Amps should be permanent.
Signature Amps should be closer in line with Signature Playstyles to where they are permanent boosts to attributes and can be switched out, similar to something like loadouts in Call of Duty. Temporary boosts for these make no sense. I'd rather Sig Amps cost more and be permanent unlocks with PS+ to truly customize your builds vs everyone else to create unique builds instead of just copying everyone else's youtube builds. For example, I really like Press Proven + on a UT card from a few years ago. the only attacking build that had it was Target at the end of the year. Target was the worst build for attackers and I didn't want to use it but wanted the playstyle.
