Has either side addressed this yet?

If it was a simple oversight I would have expected it to be patched by now.

I thought it prudent to follow-up with EA to ask for an explanation for this omission. Does it have to do with the Switch and the way it works, or did EA simply not fancy it?

Unfortunately, EA's response is a frustrating mess that completely dodges the question.

"FIFA 18 on Switch offers Local Seasons allowing friends to play against each other across two consoles in close proximity to one another, and we encourage those looking to compete online to take advantage of online modes on Switch including FIFA Ultimate Team, Online Seasons, and Online Tournaments."

Just as a side note, NBA2K just patched in the ability to play with friends without having to jump through any hoops. Hopefully FIFA is next.

That would require EA to care and it's obvious they don't. Good luck with that, though.

Good on 2K

Despite the issues with the physical edition requiring a download, they have done a great job with the Switch version, even having a Switch only commercial during opening Night of the NBA
