How to play a match?

1. Add your opponent's online ID as a friend on PSN or Xbox Live.

2. Start the FIFA game and go to the Online tab, then open the Online Friendlies mode.

3. Start a new season or open an existing season with your opponent.

4. Confirm the match rules and settings.

5. Play the match.

* Non-standard formations cannot be used unless the both parties agree.

* Matches must be played with ‚Online Squads’ only.

1. When you enter the game, make sure you don’t have problems with the connection. If you think there might be issues, don’t play the game, tell your opponent about the situation and select the result “Cancel Match”. If you decide to play, after 1 minute of gameplay, complaints regarding the delays or settings before the match, etc. will be not taken into consideration.
2. There are no draws in Skillmatches. If the match ends in a draw after full time, carry on with extra time and penalties. If the game still ends in a draw, it is required to play another match.
3. When you disconnect, try to reconnect to the game, you and your opponent must complete the rest of match time with the same number of points from the moment when the game was disconnected. For example, if the disconnection occurred in the 30th minute, the new game should be played until the 60th. When the 60th minute is reached, as soon as the ball is no longer in play, the match is over and both players must quit the game. If you continue to play and goals are scored, the goals will count. If you disconnect during the game and don’t want to continue – you will lose the game or will be cancelled depending on the circumstances.
4. Video evidence is the best proof during a dispute. You can record the game, or you can also show us the screenshot with the final result of the match. In the case of any disconnections, it may not be enough to show us a screenshot from the game. That’s why we encourage you to record the game.
5. Disturbing or making the game difficult for the opponent is forbidden.
6. We impose fines on users who cheat or cause a dispute without any reason. We make every effort to ensure that players use our portal accordingly following fair play rules. Disputes are solved by our team of specialists. The fines are as follows:

1st time = £5

2nd time = £20

3rd time = 100% account balance removal + Ban
