What To Should I Do If I have been phished ?
If you believe you have entered your login info into a phishing site by accident, if the email linked to your account has suddenly been changed or if players have been sold from your FUT account without your permission, change your password right away. It is likely that your account has been compromised, but you may still have time to save it.
Then contact EA’s customer service team immediately (click HERE to see how to do it), providing as much detail and evidence as you can. In particular, EA’s team will need accurate details of what items (if any) you have lost, plus the date and time that you lost them.

What To Do If I have received a phishing e-mail ?
If you have received a phishing email message, do not panic. Your account has not been compromised. All the scammer has is your email address, which can be relatively easy to find. Scammers duplicate the images and text from an official EA email in the same way they copy websites. If you receive a suspicious looking email, check who the sender is, as well as where the links in the email are taking you.
Some things to be aware of with phishing emails:
Names are easy to obtain. Phishers will almost always use these in emails;
Other links or elements in the email will actually take you to the real site, but the “click here” or “login” link will always be to a fake site;
When clicking on links in emails, be sure it is directing you to the same place that was advertised;
The only time EA will contact you through email regarding your account is if you have forgotten your password and you make a request to have it changed.
Always double check the URL of the webpage that you are accessing

How can I report a phishing website to EA Sports ?
Electronic Arts is continually taking action against phishing sites. They are also taking strong, prompt action against any users attempting to scam others using these sites or any other scams.
If you know about phishing sites, contact EA Support Center (click HERE to see how to do it).

I turned off my console (or it crashed) while I was logged into FUT 14. Now I can’t seem to access FUT Web. What happened ?
To prevent any interruptions during FIFA Ultimate Team game-play, EA Sports prevent users from logging from the web and console at the same time. If you turn off your Xbox, Playstation while logged into FUT, or if your console crashes, you must wait for your session to time out before being allowed to log in on the web.
If you don’t want to wait 20 minutes you can log back into FUT on your Xbox, Playstation and log out. You will then be able to immediately log into your FUT Web account.
Mobile
I can not connect to Origin in FIFA 14 mobile. What should I do ?
Try re-booting your phone first, or switching to Airplane mode and turning it off before starting the game to see if this resolves the issue. Otherwise, contact EA Support Center.
I have too much lag, trouble to find an opponent or Connection drops too often damaging my %DNF. What Should I do ?
As you may imagine, the problem is in your connection. Do not blame EA Sports by everything. Check your firewall status inside the game and follow the instructions of THIS guide.

PS
FUT 14 is disconnecting several times after a match. What should I do ?
Delete your gameface, from your FIFA web account, and all saved files from the previous FIFA games (FIFA12, FIFA13, etc…).
FIFA 14 is crashing or freezing on my PC. What should I do ?
If you are having trouble running the game on your PC, check that your Graphics card has the most recent drivers installed, make sure that you have the latest version of DirectX installed on your system, check that you have the latest Service Pack and Windows Updates installed for your operating system including the optional updates such as .NET Framework and Visual C++ features and check if your drivers are up-to-date.
If after the most recent FIFA 14 game update you are still experiencing crashes or freezes, use the Repair Install function in Origin (see the following picture).
Repair install is the third option
To prevent the game from further crashing, follow these two steps
In your games library, right click on FIFA 14 and choose Check for Update. Update the game.
If that does not fix it, return to the Games Library, right click on FIFA 14 and choose Repair Install.
If it did not work for you, you should know that FIFA 14 is currently unable to support special characters (such as àéñõü). In the case where you PC name (or your Windows username) contains at least one of these characters, it will cause FIFA 14 to crash. Rename your PC name or your Windows user name by following the two solutions provided below:
If your PC name contains special characters, please rename your PC name. To do so, click on the Start button and follow the below instructions:
Click on the “Control Panel” and in the “System and Security” section, select “System”.
Under “Computer Name, domain and workgroup settings” click on the “Change Settings” button.
On the “Computer name” tab, click on the “Change” button.
Then, change the computer name and reboot your computer to ensure the changes take effect.
Verify if your FIFA 14 config. files are located in a path similar to: C:\Users\Usernàmé\Documents\FIFA 14 (with special characters). If this is the case, follow the instructions below carefully. As this process is a bit more complicated, if your Windows username contains special characters, you will not need to rename it but simply add a new username.
Click on the Start button.
Click on the “Control Panel” and in the “User Accounts and Family Safety” section, select “User Accounts”.
Click on “Manage User Accounts”.
Click on “Add” and enter a new user name (no special characters), and click on “Next” to finish.
Make the user is an Administrator by clicking on the “Administrator” option and click on “Finish”.
(Please be aware that if you are on a network, you may need to create a local user first from the “Advanced” tab.)
Once you tried the above solution, try to login with this new Windows user account. Once logged in, launch Origin, then launch FIFA 14 if both options are available to you. If you do not have the Origin icon on your desktop, please reinstall the clients on this new Windows session.

Why I did not get my FIFA Points that I have purchased on my PC ?
This issue occurs when a player has accidentally closed the Origin overlay before the transaction has fully completed.
It is recommended that you do not close the in-game Origin overlay until your transaction has fully completed. In the event that you have accidentally closed the Origin overlay during your initial purchase, you have two options in resolving this issue:
Re-enter the Origin overlay and ensure that you cancel the pending transaction. You can now start over with your intended purchase.
If you accept the pending transaction, the FIFA Points will not appear, but this can also be resolved by performing a second purchase for FIFA Points. Both purchases will now appear correctly.

My Players are missing or getting stuck into my Trade Pile. What should I do ?
First, be sure to check your Watch List, Trade Pile, and Club. Your player may be there. If you cannot find your player in your Watch List, Trade Pile or Club, give your trade pile up to 3 hours to appear.

Once the trade is expired, re-list it. Other players will be able to buy it using “bids“or “buy now” options. Should that trade expire again, you will be able to interact successfully with it then. As an alternative solution, please note that you can also access, manage and resolve trade pile issues via the FUT web client or mobile companion app.
