Server Release Notes Introduced
EA Sports continuously works on the servers. Most of the work improves the infrastructure or keeps the databases current. In other words, these server tasks are essential to keep the game running but do not have a direct impact on your gaming experience.
However, in the last two weeks, server-side changes have also been made that affect your gaming experience. EA Sports now aims to be more transparent than in previous years and to lay this out openly:
- The problem in the EASFC catalog where players did not earn EASFC points has been fixed. This issue has been long complained about in the community.
In addition, inconsistencies in the Switch version have been resolved, as well as an issue in FUT when having multiple accounts on a platform linked to a single EA account.
The server release notes will be kept up to date continuously.
