This is why im not buying FC 27
The FC 26 development team at EA Vancouver and EA Romania did not simply fail. They engineered failure while treating the player base with open contempt. These are the people who looked at years of clear feedback and decided the bold move was to make free progression in Ultimate Team even more miserable. They reduced rewards, slowed the power curve just enough to punish anyone who refused to spend, and watched major creators publicly abandon the mode while the rest of the community quietly left. That was not an accident. That was the design. Make the non-spenders suffer so the only remaining path is the store. They marketed the entire release around better communication and listening. They filled pre-launch interviews and Pitch Notes with promises. Then the second the full-price copies stopped selling they went silent for months. When they finally spoke it was only to admit they “missed the mark.” Missed the mark on the one thing they had spent months claiming was their priority. The same team that demanded trust before launch decided the players who actually buy and grind the game were not worth consistent updates or honest dialogue once the money was secured. On the pitch they delivered the same broken defending, unreliable passing, and lifeless AI positioning that has defined the series for years. They patched one problem and immediately created three more. Spinning metas, unresponsive fullbacks, goalkeepers who forget how to move, and a Career Mode still full of the same ancient bugs and unrealistic systems. Decade-old issues treated like optional extras. This was never just incompetence. It was a calculated lack of respect. They knew what the community wanted. They nodded along. Then they shipped a product that showed exactly how little those players mattered once the pre-order numbers were locked in. Every delayed response, every half-measure patch, every quiet removal of grindable content sent the same message: your time and your feedback are optional. They should not get to hide behind “we are listening” any longer. Listening without acting is just noise. Promising better communication and then vanishing is not a mistake. It is a choice. And that choice proved, once again, that the people in charge of FC 26 are structurally incapable of delivering anything better while the cycle continues.How to remove EA from my Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony accounts
After being unjustly banned and subsequently repeatedly being called a cheat and a liar by EA, I have reached the point where I would like to remove any EA related purchases from my Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony accounts. I cannot find options to do this myself so I am looking for advice on how to do this. To be clear, I do not only want to delete EA titles from my consoles, I want to remove all EA titles from my accounts, so they can never be downloaded again. I don't want to see their games in my lists. Please help if you can, EA_Darko or anyone else.FREE KICK AND PENALTY KICK TRAINING IN CAREER MODE.
Please EA. Update the game so that i can train my academy players on fk accuracy, curve and pk taking. There's currently no training plan that allows me to train academy players on such, making playstyles like deadball and finesse shot absolutely useless. Please give us career mode enjoyers alittle consideration and allow us to enjoy the game we love. You worked so hard on the game and we also worked so hard to support your work. Thank you.
EA FC 26 – Rush mode not finding teammates on Nintendo Switch.
I’m playing EA SPORTS FC 26 on Nintendo Switch and I’m unable to find matches in Rush mode. The game stays on “Finding teammates” for about one minute and then automatically cancels with the message “Unable to find teammates”. This happens consistently and is fully reproducible. Other online modes (such as Division Rivals) work normally, so this is not a connection issue. The main problem is that Rush mode is required to complete mandatory Ultimate Team objectives, and because I can’t find Rush matches, I’m blocked from progressing and from accessing the Transfer Market. This is a clear progression blocker on Nintendo Switch. I’ve already contacted EA Support and provided screenshots showing the issue. The case was registered and marked for further investigation. I’m posting here to report the issue publicly and to check if other Nintendo Switch players are experiencing the same problem. Update: Still unable to find Rush matches on Nintendo Switch. Tried Late Join multiple times today with no success. Update: Managed to unlock the market after coordinating with multiple friends and entering Rush matchmaking together. It appears to be a low matchmaking population issue on Nintendo Switch rather than account restriction.Severe Input Delay in many different regions
Unbearable Gameplay and no ones listening I don’t know why fixing something in FC 26 always lead to destroying multiple different things apart from this game being such a sweat fest we now welcome the arrival of input delay such a great addition to an absolutely great Responsive game. great Job GTA 6 waiting room.
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.Clarification
Hi there, I was just wondering if I could have some clarification over how much influence the EA employees on forums actually have over decisions made? It feels too much like this entire website is just a ploy for EA to be able to say 'we listen' and then execute no real change based on that feedback. If one of the employees could flesh out whether they have any influence beyond just 'feeding back to the team', that would be great.
