Unable to Access Ultimate Team Trial
I’m on the FC 26 EA Play trial and every time I try to load Ultimate Team I get the message: “The Football Ultimate Team service is currently experiencing a high volume of server traffic.” I have only used 7 out of my 10 trial hours and I am unable to access UT at all.Edit Teams and Kick Off mode are broken functions of EA FC26
We play locally and edit teams to make custom squads. We have done this for years on FIFA and there was never an issue until FC25 where the game crashed after you edited teams and tried to play The issue was fixed FC25 in January. To our disbelief the issue is back in FC26.

Some suggestions for FC 27 Career Mode: The CPU commits too few fouls. Across an entire season I maybe see 2–3 yellow cards and almost never a red card. In 4 seasons I’ve only received 1 penalty. I don’t want to force more penalties by enabling handballs because then there are way too many. CPU teams never seem to have injury crises. Increasing injury sliders only affects matches you play against the CPU, not CPU vs CPU matches during the season. Make transfers more realistic. For example, why would Arsenal buy Dembélé and Salah when they already have Saka and Madueke? Expand the “realistic transfers” option with clearer player demands like minimum games played, guaranteed starting roles, etc. Career Mode is built for long-term saves, so youth development should be deeper. Give us the option to train young players to develop specific playstyles. It doesn’t need to succeed every time, but let us focus on it. Before starting a career, let us fully control training schedules on non-match days. For example, training certain players together could improve chemistry, leading to fewer misplaced passes and better runs. Players should build stronger links with teammates they train with regularly, while connections weaken if they rarely train together. These changes would make Career Mode feel much more realistic and immersive.2 online players vs IA
I would like to suggest a game mode where 2 friends can play online (each one on his home) in the SAME TEAM vs IA. So, they can play tournments, championships, togehter vs IA. Actually there is only 2 vs 2 matches mode. This mode I'm proposing can be used as a training for the doubles, before face 2 vs 2 onlie matches. Sometimes friends just want to play along without much pressure, just to catch up. So, this mode is the right mode. I believe there is no much trouble to implement that. I found that in squad battle there is a way to play 2 online gamers vs IA. But is only 5 matches with a unknown team. I hope for a patch with this mode, later this year.

So I've been losing my mind trying to figure out what's going on with my setup and I finally figured out it's not me — it's FC26. Basically, every time I play FC26 on my Xbox Series X, the whole console shuts down completely. Not just the game crashing, the entire console. Dead. I've tried everything — checked the ventilation, cleaned the vents, moved the console, checked the power cable, cleared the cache, the works. Nothing. The thing that made me realise it's a game issue and not a hardware issue? Every other game runs absolutely fine, and has for the 6 years I've owned the console. It's only FC26 that causes the full shutdown. The console isn't even hot when it happens either, so it's not a genuine overheating problem. I've seen a few others mention switching to the Xbox One version of the game as a workaround but my friends all have Xbox series X and play this game so I can't go to the One version, and it really shouldn't be necessary 8 months after launch. Has anyone else been dealing with this? Has EA said anything about a fix? It happened with FC25 too apparently and got patched eventually, so hoping the same happens here but would be good to know if there's anything else worth trying in the meantime. ThanksSeason Pass Being Unavailable to access on Console

Add Boot Customization in Ultimate Team
I’d love to see a boot customization feature added to Ultimate Team. We already have customization for kits, badges, balls, and goalkeeper gloves, so customizable player boots would be a great addition. Many players enjoy creating a unique visual style for their squad, and being able to choose boot colors (especially classic white boots) would make teams feel more personal and immersive.Wins not awarded in Seasons
Very often when an opponent quits the game whilst playing Seasons, the match result is not reported and you are not awarded the win. It happens so often it has made the game unplayable. It is also really infuriating. In previous years, you could negate this by turning off cross-play. But this year, it doesn't make much difference. I am playing on Xbox Series X. One of the claims during the advert for this year's game was that you'd fixed this issue. But it's now worse than it's ever been. This is also the 5th time I've reported this bug in the last 5 months. The game came out in September 2025. It's now May 2026, the football season is about to finish, and the issue still hasn't been fixed. If cross-play wasn't enabled in previous years, this issue wouldn't occur. So why is it such a problem with FC 26? I've been playing Seasons since it was introduced in 2011. It is the main game mode I play. This is the first year it's had this problem, at least to this extent, and it's totally unacceptable. SORT IT OUT!
