Four Friends 🫂, Two Teams ⚽, One Missing Feature 🥺, Don’t Skip 2v2 Again!
One of the biggest letdowns in EA FC 25 was the absence of online 2v2 friendlies using real teams — something that’s been a dream feature for many of us. Right now, you can only play 2v2 locally with friends using clubs or national teams. But if you’re online and want to play 2v2 with three other friends (that are seperated), you're out of luck. We’re asking for a simple but powerful feature: Let four separate players (two on each team) play online using real-world teams in a friendly match. Why is this important? Siblings, cousins, old friends — people who live apart — want to team up like old times. It was heavily requested in FC 25 forums and left a lot of players disappointed when it didn’t return. We know the mechanics exist — it works locally. Let’s make it online. > 🎮 Let’s bring that community fun back. The demand is real.
Support Process Question: EA Help vs EA Forums
Dear EA Sports, I was advised by the EA Sports Support team (EA Help) to raise my concerns and issues with the game on the EA Forums, and I was assured that developers and relevant teams are active here. However, despite creating multiple posts outlining my concerns, none of them have been acknowledged by EA staff. I have worked in a corporate environment for over 25 years, and I must say that this level of communication falls well below the standard one would normally expect from a customer support structure. What I find particularly confusing is the process itself. EA Help, which is meant to support customers, redirects players to these forums to raise issues. Yet once customers follow that direction, it appears that no meaningful engagement takes place. From a customer perspective, this creates a situation where players are effectively moved from one support channel to another without their concerns actually being addressed. The only time I received a response was when a post included a three-letter word that apparently violated forum rules. That post received attention immediately, yet the actual concern raised in the post was not addressed in the response. This sends a rather unfortunate message that moderation is active, but meaningful engagement with the issues themselves is not. As a long-standing customer, this is disappointing. I have been playing EA football titles since the very first FIFA, well before the PlayStation era, and I have remained a loyal player for decades. Because of that, I find it difficult to understand why concerns raised by players here receive so little acknowledgement. I fully understand that companies must be careful when responding publicly. However, complete silence is also a response, and it is not a particularly reassuring one. If EA Help directs players to the forums, then the forums should function as a place where issues are at least acknowledged or discussed. Otherwise, the process risks appearing circular — players are redirected to the forums for help, but once they arrive, no help is provided. I would respectfully ask that this process be reconsidered, and that concerns raised here receive at least some level of acknowledgement from the relevant teams. I have earned badges and profile levels on this forum over time, but those are secondary. What matters far more is meaningful communication with the player community. Could EA staff please clarify whether posts raising gameplay concerns are reviewed and whether players can expect responses here? For clarity, could a member of the EA community team or moderation team please confirm whether gameplay concerns raised on this forum are reviewed by the development team, and whether players should realistically expect feedback or acknowledgement when such concerns are raised here? Understanding how this process works would be very helpful for players who have been directed here by EA Help. Thank you for your time and consideration.PC steam and ea play(10 hour trial) launch and rewards Question
I have the PC Steam Ultimate edition Pre ordered but also have the EA play 10 hour trial. 1. Would i be able to play the Ea app version of the game for the first 10 hours and then switch over to the steam version? 2. Will i still receive the pre ordered icon and ultimate edition rewards(fc points etc) if i switched from EA app (10 hour trial) to ultimate edition steam version?Authentic gameplay be added for online matches and seasons
Could the option of authentic gameplay be added for online matches and seasons? At least have the option to choose. I'd like to play against friends or people in simulation mode (seasons already let you filter if you want to play in manual mode, so it wouldn't be so difficult to do). EA, give us options, don't limit your game!
No viewership rewards on YouTube.
Drops are not available on YouTube. What about players who do not have a Twitch account and/or the Twitch account is already linked to another EA account (inactive, banned or deleted EA account)? Will you offer a re-live on YouTube (with active rewards) so that all players have the opportunity to receive the packs for FC26? Thanks in advance.Israeli League fc 26
*To the EA Sports Team,* I'm reaching out as a longtime player, with a request that has been raised for years – the inclusion of the *Israeli Premier League* in EA FC 26. This is an active league with history, tradition, and passionate fans. Clubs like *Maccabi Haifa, Maccabi Tel Aviv, Hapoel Tel Aviv, and Beitar Jerusalem* participate regularly in European competitions, facing teams that already exist in the game – yet they themselves are not represented. In community polls and feedback, *Israel consistently ranks high* in demand for new leagues. Still, despite strong support, this request remains unanswered. Commercial considerations are understandable, but from a marketing standpoint – *adding the Israeli league would significantly grow the local player base* and generate renewed interest in each new edition of the game. Moreover, this is also a cultural matter. For many of us, seeing our local clubs and players in the game is a dream that connects our love for football games with our love for our teams. We’d love to see EA take this step – both for the community and for the brand. Sincerely, Yosef
FC 26 draft cheaters
Wasted coins in draft game mode in ultimate team due to cheaters instantly disconnecting me in my first game, I spend like 5 minutes attempting to build a solid squad and then every 2-3 draft games I play I'm going up against a cheater, how can a multi billion dollar company still not manage to sort out their anti cheat and that's not even the worse thing, I can't even let support know about this because their help websites sucks **bleep** and trying to get in contact with someone is impossible, so I'm making this post in hopes that this reaches a staff member who can potentially pull their finger out and bring this issue up. Playing on EU servers on pc, I've turned cross play on to try and limit the amount of cheaters I come across. please leave a comment below if you have had this issue too hopefully this will boost this thread to the top.
FC 26 Create-A-Club
I think a really good idea to make FC26 a bit more realistic is to add Kit sponsors to the Create-A-Club option. For example in the first season you get a contract offer from either a real Sponsor or a fake/made up one. And it would have a contract length plus some challenges you may need to achieve throughout the season. It would just make the Create-A-Club choice way better as I feel like it doesn’t really get much recognition. Also you already have things like the Beats Cup in pre-season and multiple of companies in add boards in a stadium so it should make sense if this isn’t possible.
FC 26 Ultimate Team is a disaster
A fierce and pointed analysis • Incoherent playstyles and “broken” players Mbappé with the rocket who doesn’t run, other stars stripped of their defining traits: the playstyle system, marketed as innovation, has backfired. What was promised as more realism has collapsed into chaos, where top players underperform and average ones are pushed around by an AI that makes all the decisions. • The dictatorship of AI FC 26 has gone in the opposite direction of what was announced. We are no longer in control: the AI dictates movements, interceptions, and even match outcomes. The result? Games already written before kickoff, where player skill counts for nothing. We pay for the game, maybe even spend real money on packs, only to watch an algorithm play in our place. • Predetermined and frustrating matches The community has been complaining for weeks that matches always end the same way, regardless of how you play. Whether you dominate possession or create chances doesn’t matter: the outcome feels preordained. Ultimate Team has become a rigged lottery, where fun is replaced by frustration. • Technical problems and embarrassing glitches • Input lag and delayed commands make gameplay infuriating. • Severe frame rate drops and poor optimization on PC. • Outrageous bugs like the “FC Point glitch,” which let some users buy thousands of points at absurdly low prices, destroying competitive balance. • Updates that worsen stability instead of improving it, forcing EA to rush out emergency patches. • Ultimate Team in shambles The flagship mode is now the most hated. Social media is flooded with complaints: constant errors, broken matchmaking, unstable menus. EA has had to halt updates and scramble with fixes, but the core issue remains: gameplay that punishes players instead of rewarding them. • A title that betrays expectations With over 52% negative reviews on Steam, FC 26 is one of the most controversial entries in the series. Marketed as a revolution, it turned out to be a massive step backward. The community calls it a “broken game,” an “incoherent experience,” and an “unplayable UT mode.” Conclusion FC 26 Ultimate Team isn’t just disappointing: it’s a scam. We pay for a product that promises control and competition, but get a hollow shell run by AI, riddled with bugs and imbalance. We are no longer players, but spectators of an algorithm deciding winners and losers. EA has turned its flagship mode into a theater of frustration, and the community knows it: FC 26 is the chapter that destroyed fans’ trust.
