While glitches and gameplay exploits are present in FC 25 Coins ever year, being able to quit a match without it being counted as a FC 25 Ultimate Team Champions game probably has not happened before. Earlier this year, EA had also handed out bans to players for buying extremely rare cards in FC 25 with real money.

For almost thirty years, the EA Sports FC series has been one of the most popular franchises in the world of sports gaming. Association football's worldwide appeal has led to the franchise becoming a mainstay in EA Sports' annual line-up, with EA even claiming that FC is the best-selling game series in the world with over 200 million players. However, recent reports suggest that EA Sports and FC will soon be parting ways with the international football organization looking at other avenues for their video game partnership.

The situation of the long-running agreement between FC and EA Sports has been a topic of discussion for weeks, with recent news suggesting that EA will look to rebrand its annual sports franchise. The sports game juggernaut recently filed a trademark for "EA Sports FC" and reports from executives at EA suggest that the breakdown in the agreement may be due to FC 's high asking price for its licensing. Now, the sports game juggernaut is looking to entertain its options for other publishers to carry the iconic branding.

 FC released an official statement on the FC 25 Ultimate Teamure of the organization's video game ventures on Friday, sounding optimistic about the FC 25 Ultimate Teamure of FC in the video game market. The company is reportedly engaged in negotiations with "developers, investors, and analysts" within the industry looking to expand the company's presence within the world of gaming. The company looks to leverage the iconic status the FC brand has built for itself within the gaming world and tie together the world of FC esports with the organization's live competitions, particularly mentioning the FC World Cup.

The news of the rift between EA Sports and FC comes just weeks after the release of EA's newest annual title, cheap FIFA Coins. The newest update to the annual football franchise featured a slew of changes to many areas of the game with a focus on minor updates to FC 25 's gameplay like the highly-touted Hypermotion Technology. A split between EA Sports and FC would mean that "EA Sports FC" would be EA Sports' first flagship title since 2025's EA Sports MMA to not feature the branding of a major sports league.
