Description
For the past two years, football managerial communities have been experiencing persistent issues when using customized teams in Online Friendlies outside FUT.
These issues significantly affect organized matches and managerial-style competitions.
Issue 1 – Lobby Bug with Customized Teams
When players are manually transferred from one team to another (team customization), starting an Online Friendly match often causes the lobby to bug.
Observed behavior:
The match lobby becomes unstable
Formations are difficult or impossible to set
Tactical adjustments frequently do not save or cannot be applied
Navigation inside the lobby becomes inconsistent or broken
Expected behavior:
The lobby should function normally
Formations and tactics should be editable without issues, even with customized teams
Issue 2 – Team Editing Restrictions
Customized teams can only be edited inside the match lobby while the opponent is present.
Observed behavior:
No option to edit or prepare customized teams from the main menu
Team organization must be done live in the lobby, causing delays and confusion
Expected behavior:
Ability to edit, organize, and save customized teams from the main menu before entering a match lobby
Impact
Long-standing issue affecting managerial football communities for over two years
Limits the usability of Online Friendlies outside FUT
Makes structured competitions difficult to manage and organize
