IT IS NOW IMPOSSIBLE TO UNLOCK THE TRANSFER MARKET (PS4)
I KNOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE TOO, unlocking the transfer market requires you to complete the "VENTURING OUT" objective, which playing 3 "RUSH" matches is also required but that is EXACTLY the problem. All the times I have tried to find teammates, it always says "no TEAMMATES found" and even when I finally assembled my own team, it still says "no OPPONENTS found". This is so FRUSTRATING as I have spent soo much time trying to make it work but it never worked till now. Like I said earlier, I know I'm not the only one having this issue. I plead with EA to at least look into the matter and do something about it. I think mostly PS4 users are facing this issue. Thank you for your time.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, USATransfer Market - Can not unlock
I recently bought EAFC 26 on my Switch 1, and am trying to find rush lobbies, but the issue is is that the Switch 1 does not have crossplay, and the playerbase on it is low, making it so i have to be up late to even get a chance to play one of 5 matches, also living in Australia. If easy, can EA unlock the market on my account due to this incovenience.Queue time penalty
EA you should be absolutely disgusted with whoever decides this was a fair thing to implement. Your servers once again have been so bad that disconnects are happening every 10 mins tonight. Now you’ve given me a queue time penalty for 30 mins!! For a game thats been horrendously bad this year and you add this? Thank god the only preorder in this household will be for GTA6 because you have repeatedly screwed your customer base over this entire year!!Another week or rush, more time wasters
I don’t play much. Because of how bad the game is currently. I like to do challenges, I’ve play 5 games of rush and I’ve noticed still people playing, but not playing the game that have no consequence for being toxic, yet if I leave I’m in trouble with the EA police for bad sportsmanship. Joke one GL is always outstanding. 1 of the games the GK got a 9.8 and got MOTM, but my GK lets in 7 matchmaking is not competitive still, but you say this is a competitive mode still have players who get good ratings for hogging the ball trying to take it around everybody being a non team player etc but EA seems that as a good thing people staying in the goal, thinking they a GK when in a huff because they get tackled, or don’t get passed the ball enough etc yhis game is not even a game now, it’s a joke that EA don’t sort out rush, it could be a great game mode. But no, it’s always spoilt
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.
Disconnection Penalty
I'm playing Rush. The game matches me with three teammates who have absolutely no interest in playing as a team. One starts shooting the moment he crosses the halfway line. Another spends the entire match standing inside the center circle without taking part in the game. The third picks Yamal, spins around in circles, runs all over the pitch trying to pull off skill moves instead of making simple passes. So here's a question for the developers: as a grown adult who's been playing this game for years just to have some fun, am I really expected to waste five minutes of my life in a match that was lost the moment it kicked off? A match where the only real question is how many goals the other team is going to score. Or do I have the right to leave because I'm stuck in a game where nobody is trying to play proper football? Of course, I leave the match... and I get a 15-minute matchmaking ban. Is that normal? Is it normal for one teammate to stand in the center circle for the entire game and contribute absolutely nothing? Is it normal for another teammate to blindly shoot from midfield every single possession? Is it normal for the third teammate to spend the whole match treating it like a skill practice session instead of actually playing football? Apparently, I'm the problem because I refused to waste my time on that match. I'm the "toxic" player. Yes, punish me. Meanwhile, the three players who completely ruined the match for everyone are probably spending those same 15 minutes ruining someone else's game. But hey, who cares? It's much easier to punish the player who actually wanted to play properly. Players like that are becoming rarer and rarer in this game anyway. From now on, I'll just stand in the center circle, stare at the sky, and randomly move my controller for five minutes. Apparently, that's considered more acceptable than leaving a match that stopped being a game the moment it started and turned into five minutes of frustration for everyone involved. So thanks, EA. You just made my decision not to buy FC27 a whole lot easier. You reminded me exactly how little this game cares about people who simply want fair matches and to have fun.
Matchmaking is totally unfair
Playing from Egypt with best ping 50 against those from Europe is completely unfair give us fair matchmaking cause imagine you are having fun in a race car but guess what you are riding a fiat against Ferrari is this what you want EA Idont mind waiting for 10 minutes to have a fair game instead of matching someone from Europe I’m complaining about this issue for five years and I’m fed up i only play because of football passion
