Guest play, which featured in FIFA 17, lets two players to team up to play FUT Online Seasons and FUT Online Draft.
The mode is loved by fans, so many were shocked they discovered it was absent from FIFA 18.
In response, the FIFA community created the #bringbackguest hashtag and kicked off a Change.org petition, which has amassed more than 10,000 signatures.
Explaining why the feature was cut in the first place, a FIFA community manager wrote on EA’s website that it was “to create competitive balance for all players”.
The company has since stated: “We have heard your feedback about guest functionality in FUT Online Seasons and FUT Online Draft and are happy to announce that we have added this functionality back into FIFA 18 PS4/XB1/PC effective immediately.”
Hats off to EA for listening to the fans.
