So I have been playing with no issues since release and have attempted to load the game today and presented with a black/grey screen following the profile selecton screen and cannot get off of it. I can hear the music of the main menu but cannot navigate or do anything other than force close the application. I have installed originally on Origin and attemtped to reinstall both origin and Fifa 22 twice with no success. I have now attemped to try through EA Desktop App and having the exact same issue.

I found a fix. BY MYSELF. since ea were no help. so basically you go to your c drive and then to users and then pick your user then documents, then fifa 22 and delete the settings folder. After you load fifa you will have to make a new load , but you wont lose anything everythign will be in your ultimate team.

Go to Advanced Threat Defense > Settings and disable exploit detection. Or, disable advanced threat defense altogether. You can reenable this after launching the game, however you will need to disable it the next time you launch the game.

There are also some additional details in the post here for adding .exe files to the Advanced Threat Defense of your Anti-Virus program. Please make sure this is also attempted if the above does not solve this issue.

@EA_Barry Clean boot made startup situation worse. We're back to the memory dump files with no launch, similar to the Anticheat issues from other threads. I already attempted uninstall as well (plus the file checker routine, which is a really worrying step that's included in troubleshooting a triple-A title, signs of unprofessional development work).

I'm looking for better support for a game that I purchased at list-price and contributed towards in-game credits. Let's nix the snark and get down to actual support please. Very disappointed in this product.

I'm currently working with a 3700x, 2070 Super, 32gb DDR4 @ 3600mhz.

After the update the game simply wont launch. Its just a black screen!!!! EA, could u please help with this issue ? It is not normal to pay for something that is not working, hence if the problem does not get resolved I would like a refund of the payment

Fifa 23 Not launching with controller. I mange to launch the game without a controller but then when I plug my controller in the game becomes unresponsive. I have tried 2 different controllers and both have the same issue. The screen shot attached is the black screen that occurs when my controller is plugged in. The unresponsiveness of fifa 23 is shown in the video attached. the game worked perfectly fine with this controller when I launched it from origin. But since I moved to the EA app this error started occurring.

only 2 or 3 stadiums are having green grass while others all have black grass like this. The game runs fine without lag and I am using intel hd 5500 graphics card and the game is fully updated but this problem really hurt because people are using 4th gen cpus with amd or nvidea cards and everything is fine. please solve our issue too

Thank you for ur time but sir issues were solved with 6th gen or above and i have attached a screenshot where they have clearly said issued have been solved in fifa 19. i am not using legacy system. and if u have time u can play fifa 19 once more on hd 5500 but play at wembley stadium u will see green grass there. no issues with game play or lag just this black grass is problem. i have attached my system info picture as well. please if u can further help me or suggest something.

Or at least, that's the message officials for FIFA, the sport's global organizing body, seemed to give Friday when they announced that they'd dissolved their anti-racism task force, declaring its "temporary mission" a success. Ironic, considering that the very next day, racist taunts at a Scottish Cup match got so out of hand that a black player begged to be taken off the field.

This is either awkward or perfect timing for the release of the world's most popular soccer video game, FIFA 17, which officially dropped this week. This year's installment of EA Sports' blockbuster series contains a brand-new interactive story mode called "The Journey," where you play as a young man from London named Alex Hunter as he begins his career in the English Premier League.

Some people aren't happy about that last bit. Even before the game's release, comment sections of articles about "The Journey" invariably had a few comments complaining about the character's race. It seems that a lot of people are having trouble identifying with a black protagonist.

In short, it's pretty good. Safe, but good. Unlike NBA 2K16, which we'll come to in a moment, there's nothing identifiably black about the story. The protagonist, played by real-life actor Adetomiwa Edun, comes from a working-class background, but that's not particularly tied to his race (strictly speaking, Alex is mixed-race, with a black mother and a white father). His neighborhood buddy-turned-rival, Gareth Walker, is white, and seems to have had a similar upbringing. If anything, Alex might be more well-off than Walker, considering that Walker seems to rely on Alex's mom to drive him to games and tryouts.

In fact, the storyline seems to studiously avoid racial incidents. If the EA writers had wanted to, they could have depicted Alex dealing with racist taunts like the ones that happened at the aforementioned Scottish Cup game. Perhaps the tweets from soccer fans between matches could have been peppered with a racist slur or two, like the 4,000-plus racist posts that Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli endured last season.

EA won't give specific statistics on the demographics of the more than 100 million people who have bought a copy of a FIFA game since the series' inception, but it's safe to guess that the gamers are similarly diverse to the audience of the Premier League, which counts billions of viewers across the globe. Those core fans are probably aware of the darker side of soccer.

"We did play around with idea of letting you change your character," he told me. "But there's a number of reasons we didn't do that. We wanted to take the story very seriously. We want it to be as immersive as possible. If you change the name, the match commentators can't speak about you, the dialog starts to get generic."

When I brought up the fact that some people were upset about the character being black, he sighed. "Yeah, I've heard that," he said. But he maintained that he was focused on crafting a good story that reflects what soccer in the UK looks like nowadays (see, for example, rising stars Marcus Rashford and Dele Alli, both of whom EA consulted with during story development). Once people play the game for themselves, he said, the complaints will disappear. "It's all about the story," he said.

And if he had let people create their own player, he wouldn't have been able to tell the story he wanted. FIFA 17 opens with a scene of Alex as a 10-year-old soccer wunderkind, watching his parents fight on the sideline and wondering why his father won't even congratulate him for winning the city championship. Alex's grandfather, a former soccer legend himself, comes in afterward to cheer him up. This brief sequence lays the groundwork for Alex's relationship with his family, which is crucial for the rest of the story.

Just as with FIFA 17, people were complaining about the game's "blackness" even before NBA 2K17 was released. When the developers announced the story mode feature on their Facebook page, including the surprise announcement that the actor Michael B. Jordan would appear in-game in a supporting role, people began whining about race in the comments.

When FIFA the organization announced that it had disbanded its anti-racism task force, one of the people who was most concerned was British pro midfielder Paul Mortimer. As a black player, he's dealt with racism on and off the field, and since retiring in 2001, he's become increasingly involved in soccer activism. He currently works with the anti-racist group Kick It Out, which has been calling for transparency in FIFA's racism task force, and also works with youth groups, many of whom are gamers.

He hasn't played the game himself, he told me. "But I talked to the boys here who played it, and they told me about the story." They also told him about the backlash, and he said he wasn't surprised. He said he was less interested in the intricacies of the story in the game world and more curious about how the story of "The Journey" is unfolding in the real one.

"Let's see how people explain it," he said. "If they say they don't want to have a black character, see how they explain themselves. Then you'll start learning about people. They'll have to think about it. That gets the conversation out in the open. We've got to talk about it."

And perhaps that's all we can expect from a soccer simulator. When I asked Prior about the choice of a black player as the "face" of the story, he was hesitant to discuss any social implications. Instead, he talked about how popular the game was in the UK. "The only thing that outsold us last year was Adele's album," he joked. Giving this massive audience a fair representation of soccer, as it should be, was his primary motivation.

FIFA 17 might be a bit nave in its treatment of race, but no more so than any other major game title. Again, only days ago, soccer's organizing body proved to us that it is still struggling to address racism in in the sport. If FIFA 17's contribution to that issue is to quietly insist that a black boy's experiences can be universal, that's not a bad move.
