Awful game play with so many bugs, they either don’t fix or take months to look at
An exploit that effects no one and it’s instantly patched
Money hungry company, absolutely shameful
EA Sports' announcement did not state any specific punishments for leveraging this exploit. However, some users have reported bans as a result of its usage, although definitive ban criteria has not been outlined.

EA FC was a pivotal moment for EA Sports as the first title in the popular soccer sim series to forgo the FIFA name. While online discourse may show frustration among players, the game was an overwhelming success for EA, generating more profit than FIFA 23 due to Ultimate Team live service transactions. However, the game sold fewer copies than its licensed counterpart, so it remains to be seen if EA can maintain the long term profitability of its major sports franchise as the release of EA FC 25 nears.
