Update on points transfer
I had opened the same discussion a few days ago regarding the points transfer, and as helpful as the managers of the threads have been, we are now 3-4 days (depending on console) from release and we still aren’t sure on the points transfer system. Now I understand it might come out later on with the FC27 deep dive, but I know this is a subject alot of people are waiting for. I have seen a lot of accounts on twitter post about buying points from a company for FC26 to transfer onto FC27. Do they know something we don’t?Marco van Basten rating refresh
I would like to provide feedback regarding the ratings and in-game representation of some Dutch Icons, particularly Marco van Basten and Johan Cruyff. Marco van Basten being rated only 91 does not accurately reflect his historical status in football. By the age of 28, when injuries had effectively ended his playing career, Van Basten had already won three Ballon d’Or awards. He was a European champion with the Netherlands, won the European Cup twice with AC Milan and was one of the defining players of one of the greatest club teams in football history. My main issue is not only his overall rating, but also his in-game representation. Van Basten is often portrayed in FC as a relatively slow and stiff traditional target striker. That does not represent the player he actually was. He was exceptionally technical for his size, elegant on the ball, intelligent in his movement, outstanding in the air and capable of scoring with both feet and from extremely difficult positions. When Icons such as Ronaldo Nazário, Zidane, Ronaldinho and Maldini receive significantly higher ratings, while Van Basten sits at 91, the difference seems difficult to justify based on their historical standing. Zlatan Ibrahimović being rated higher than Van Basten is particularly surprising. Zlatan had an extraordinary career and remarkable longevity, but Van Basten reached a level of individual recognition and success that included three Ballon d’Or awards despite having his career cut extremely short by injury. I also believe Johan Cruyff deserves reconsideration. Cruyff was not only one of the greatest players ever, but one of the most influential figures in the history of football. A noticeable rating gap between Cruyff and the very highest-rated legends such as Pelé and Maradona does not properly represent how highly Cruyff is regarded historically. This is not about making Dutch Icons overpowered simply because they are Dutch. It is about representing football history accurately. I would suggest: Marco van Basten: approximately 93–94 OVR, with significantly improved agility, ball control, dribbling, finishing, positioning and appropriate PlayStyles to represent his technical ability. Johan Cruyff: approximately 95 OVR and placed in the same highest historical tier as Pelé and Maradona. Most importantly, Icons should feel like the players they represent. Younger FC players who never watched Van Basten should be able to use his Icon card and understand why he won three Ballon d’Or awards before injuries ended his career. Marco van Basten should feel like one of the greatest strikers football has ever seen — because that is exactly what he was.
Missed the deadline with only 6 minutes. Any chance to get the icon pick?
Hi EA, I pre-ordered the EA SPORTS FC 27 Ultimate Edition on August 31st at 16.06 UTC I understand that the early-bird deadline for the 85+ OVR International ICON was August 31st at 16:00 UTC, meaning I missed the deadline by only 6 minutes. I fully understand the terms and I’m not claiming that I’m technically entitled to the reward. I’m just asking if there is any possibility of a one-time goodwill exception in this case, considering how close the purchase was to the deadline. I have already tried contacting EA Help, but the support system only gives me the automated/self-service options and I cannot reach an EA Advisor or create a support case. Would an EA Community Manager or anyone from the EA team be able to advise whether this can be escalated or reviewed? I can provide proof of purchase showing the exact purchase time if necessary. Thank you!Career Mode idea :
Let youth players return to the Academy In real football, young players can train with the first team, play a few games, and then return to the youth team to continue developing. In Career Mode, once a youth player is promoted, they can never go back. It would be great to allow academy-eligible players (especially under 18) to move between the Youth Academy and the first team. This would make youth development much more realistic and give managers more control over their young talents.FC point carryover
I know we do this every year but is there any info on if we will have the 1x transfer of our FC26 fc points or not? it's hard to pre-order before 31st of ausgust cut-off for additional bonuses when you won't release info on this simple type of thing before early-mid september when release happens and helps us prepare better on a already 140 ultimate plus edition rather than waiting and missing the cut-ff because you guys don't release this info early enough cheers.
