There was surely a recent victory through the Europa League for going into posterity, and among the first to congratulate them on social media was EA Sports. Instead of celebration, it became a battleground for fans to hoist one common demand—Battlefront 3, yes, you read that right. While the Spurs went on to lift trophies, the gamers busily flooded the replies with requests for this Star Wars game that really does not exist. Just some plain internet chaos.
EA posted a tweet, simply reading, “Spurs taste European success again. Congratulations to @SpursOfficial on winning the @EuropaLeague title.” It was a tweet supposed to be a take on celebration itself. The replies? It was pure anarchy! The top comments were not even talking about football—they said variations of “Make Battlefront 3” or “We want Battlefront 3.” While at it, some even just punched in “EA you suck” for laughs.
And honestly? It’s understandable. The Battlefront community has been craving a third installment since the moment EA stopped supporting Battlefront II. Despite its rocky launch, the game slowly began winning people back with updates and improvements. Now it’s silence again. There have been no announcements, no teases—just an emptiness where Battlefront 3 is supposed to be. So when EA made an invalid football tweet, the fans took the bait and went on the assault.
But wait, it gets better. Amid the battalions of Battlefront chants came some spicy critiques on EA’s football games. One user dubbed FIFA “the worst football game ever released,” while another came with a critique of scripting ruining matches. There were even proposals about special in-game cards to commemorate Tottenham’s win, because apparently, virtual trophies matter.
Oh, and let’s not forget the career mode rant. One user was outraged that their striker, with 27 goals, somehow snagged the Ballon d’Or over an attacking midfielder with 63 goals and 34 assists. The injustice! Meanwhile, others just wanted EA to fix their server glitches. Because nothing says “congrats on the trophy” quite like “why can’t I log into FUT?”
So, what is the takeaway? Two:
1. Hypothetically, Tottenham fans are happy.
2. Gamers will use any EA post as an opportunity to demand Battlefront 3 even if it is really about a sport.
Maybe one day, EA will be obliged to address the screams for a new Star Wars shooter. Who knows? One thing is certain: whenever they will actually announce Battlefront 3, they better not choose an EA football post to do it on. Unless they want to stir up waves of “fix FIFA first.”
As for Spurs? Enjoy the win. Just don’t expect EA’s reply to be about your success. The internet has other priorities.
