Right looks like no fix is either possible or going to be done. Spoke to someone on chat and here is the log:

(EDITED THE IMPORTANT PART IN RED)

Azad Thanks for contacting EA Customer Experience, my name is Azad. How may I assist you today?

you hi

Azad Hi there!

you I have an on going problem with fifa 15

you I spoke to someone last week and was said a fix would be done in a few days

you as of yet nothing has been fixed

you here's a thread with everyone with the same issue: (thread link)

you and I spoke to joanna who said: Joanna: I was advised by our specialist that this is a known issue and our studio is currently working their best to get this resolved in no time. I will suggest you to wait for few days for them to have this fixed. Thanks for your continued patience.

Azad Could you please elaborate your issue?

youhas been a week now and it is still fixed, and more annoyingly despite the thread reaching 25! pages no one from EA has replied to acknowledge the issue

you right basically in on career pro you can be picked for your country to play in internationals

you however when an international tournament comes around in the summer (eg world cup), a news items says your country has selected you

you but you don't actually get to play a single match

you it's not like you click sim match, it's as if you weren't picked at all. You go to a new season, can see your country played in the tournament, but you're not there

you as I said the thread I gave you has 25 pages of people saying the same thing and they explain it a fair bit better than myself

Azad Thanks for the information.

you np

you I'm getting a little frustrated atm with this issue, it's only a game, but I bought it expecting it to be a full game

Azad I really understand that how frustrating this could be.

you ito play for your country in fifa and then qualify for a major tournament is an achievement... to then not be able to play because the game is broke is a little crappy tbh

Azad It seems that you faced this problem during the period when the web app is down. Correct/

you ?

you I experienced this problem multiple times whenever I get to a major tournament, and if you look at the first page of the thread I gave you the link to 127+ people also have this issue (and that is just the ppl who use the forums and saw the thread)

Azad Okay.

you this isn't an issue of connectivity, this is an issue where the game has been made with a major bug in it that needs a patch

Azad So you are not able play international tournaments.

you nope

Azad Then?

you my country qualifies, I see a news item saying that my country picked me to play at the euro's/world cup

you and then I click "end season" as that is the only option, and when I come back my country has either started to play/been knocked out and I have not played a minute

Azad Okay.

you not even had an option to click "sim match" which is what happens if you are in a team but not selected to play

Azad Could you please hold for a couple of minutes so that I discuss your issue with our specialist.

Azad I understand your concern.

you it's as if my pro does not exist basically (even though in the news item I am clearly selected)

you 1 guy on the forum has a goalkeeper for Northern Ireland and his pro is rated as 87

you he got to a major tournament because he kept keeping clean sheets.... and at 87 he is not only the best pro for that country but one of the best in the world

you he gets news items saying he got selected by his country, and then he clicks end season and the same thing

Azad Okay.

you so many people have this issue (basically anyone who plays career pro on this game has the issue)

youquite surprised that as a know issue no fix has come about, or even EA acknowledging the problem on a thread that is currently 25+ pages

Azad Could you please hold for a couple of minutes so that I discuss your issue with our specialist.

you sure

Azad Thanks.

you np

Azad Please confirm me that are you talking about career mode?

you yup career mode

Azad Okay.

Azad I want to inform you that you do not get to play these matches, the computer does.

you that's clearly an oversight or bug

you in previous games you would be able to play these, and it makes no sense that I can play the qualifiers but not allowed to play the tournament itself

you also 1 week ago the person I spoke to said she spoke to a specialist who said it was a known issue and a fix was apparently coming out in a few days

Azad Okay.

you seems strange it has gone from a known issue that should be fixed to "working as intended" in a week

you any reason why that would be?

you and I'm not the only one who has had a reply from chat stating this is an issue

you although I am the first to be told it is working fine and basically no fix will be done

Azad This is a career mode feature, nothing we can alter for this, please voice your concerns on the Answers Hq forums.

you wow, so it has gone from a bug to a career mode feature...

you why would it be a feature to play qualifiers and then not be allowed to play a major tournament and why would plenty of others from your dept say it is a bug
