Mass False Bans for “Balance Transfer” on PC
Throwback to 24.12.25, when EA’s automated detection system flagged thousands of PlayStation accounts for “balance transfer.” After 8–10 hours, they fixed the issue and unbanned everyone with a single click. Everyone thought the problem was resolved, the Wildcards promo continued, and the money kept flowing. Now, three weeks later, guess what’s happening on PC? Exactly the same thing that happened on Christmas Eve. Multiple accounts in my community have been banned over the span of just two days. Casual players, traders — you name it. I even tested the issue myself by hopping onto unused accounts, trading a few cards, and playing a couple of Rivals games. And guess what? After about 10 hours of normal gameplay, I got banned for literally no reason. We didn’t sell coins. Most of us didn’t use any external web app add-ons or bots. Just regular Weekend League gameplay with some trading on the side to improve our teams — literally using the in-game market as intended. My friends and I did some research to figure out what might have caused this. We reviewed the cards we bought and sold, as well as our profits and losses. Across all 14 accounts, there was exactly one common card purchased on every single account: Ibanez Winter Wildcard. The point of this post is to make this issue public and hopefully get it noticed by someone at EA. Many people have lost their time, money, and nerves. EA Help’s policy is based almost entirely on automated responses, so when you try to appeal a ban, you’re stuck resending the same message only to get rejected by a bot 24 hours later. It’s incredibly frustrating. I've already made a post on Reddit and X both got quite a big attention, but still no action by EA. So please, if you’re in the same situation, upvote this post. Feel free to comment about your experience with EA Help, and if you managed to get unbanned, let us know how you did it. Fellow EA FC 26 players — cheers.
[Bug] Unable to Renew Contracts with Any Player in Career Mode
Hello, I would like to report a critical bug I encountered in EA FC 26 Career Mode (Manager). Issue: I am unable to renew the contract of any player in my club, no matter how many times I try. Details: The issue occurs both when starting a brand-new career and when continuing into later seasons (e.g., 5th year). After some time, players end up leaving the club for very low transfer fees, even if I don’t accept it. This completely breaks the career experience. I recorded a video as an example and attached it here. Platform: PlayStation 5 Game Version: Launch version (the game was just released today) Expected Behavior: I should be able to renew contracts with players in my squad and keep them unless I decide otherwise. Actual Behavior: The game does not allow me to renew contracts at all with any player in the squad, and after some time, players leave for cheap transfer fees without my approval. It’s very clear that this hasn’t been properly tested. Even if this is presented as a “new feature,” it makes no sense that all 32 players in the squad would refuse to renew their contracts. That’s completely unrealistic and ruins the career mode experience. This issue makes Career Mode frustrating. Please fix this as soon as possible, otherwise buying early access feels pointless. Please see the attached video for a clear demonstration of the issue. Thank you for your support and hard work! Best regards,Can’t Find Rush Matches, Can’t’ unlock Transfer Market (Switch 2)
Hello! I have been playing since day 1 of early access and I have spent many hours trying to find rush matches to complete the early foundations objectives to unlock the transfer market. Unfortunately, I have not been able to play a single rush match. I have, on a few occasions, found a team, but not an opponent. But most frequently, I can’t even find teammates. I worry the player base is not there for this to be a requirement for such an important feature. I would love for EA to change the requirement, maybe to some Rivals or live friendly matches, that still require a person and helps prevent bots, but doesn’t require a whopping 8 people to match together to play. I’m sure it’s a fun game mode, but didn’t have a large player base on Switch 1 in FC25, and It doesn’t seem to on FC26 on Switch 2 either. playing from Oklahoma, USAXbox FC26 Mass “Coin Distribution” Permanent Bans

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?RUSH MATCHMAKING SWITCH 2
I’m sure some of you are aware but Rush matchmaking is completely busted on switch 2 and is required for objectives to unlock the transfer market. If EA took one second to scan through the r/Fifaswitch page they will understand. Paying extra money to play get early access and a core element is locked behind multiple barriers is a disgrace
Suggestion: Add Private/Friendly Matchmaking to Rush Clubs like the league
Hi everyone, I’ve been playing the Clubs Rush mode for years now and it’s arguably one of the most fun additions to the franchise recently. However, there is a significant feature missing that would greatly improve the community experience: Private Friendly Matches. Currently, if we want to play against our own club members or a specific group of friends in a 5v5 (4v4 + GK) format, we have to rely on "perfect matchmaking" (trying to search at the same exact time), which rarely works and is very frustrating. Why this is needed: In-Club Tournaments: Many clubs have more than 4-5 members active at once. We want to be able to play against each other to practice or run internal competitions. Competitive Scene: For the Pro Clubs competitive community, being able to set up specific matches against rival teams in Rush would open doors for organized leagues and tournaments. Casual Fun: Sometimes we just want to play with other friends in a controlled environment without the pressure of public rank or random matchmaking. Proposed Solution: Add a "Friendly Match" or "Invite Club" option within the Rush menu, similar to how Friendly Matches work in traditional 11v11 Pro Clubs. A simple "Matchroom Code" system would also work perfectly. This feature would significantly increase the longevity of the mode and keep the community engaged for much longer. Pics for our latest in-club training sessions that relied on perfect matchmaking:Can’t find opponents
I’m on Switch 2 and for a week now have not been able to find 1 opponent on rush or rivals “no team mate found” and “no opponent found” I need to complete 3 rush matches to unlock the market, bit hard when there are no opponents to be found. no response from EA - really should be refunded for online pass
