This game mode featured two real teams (Not Pro Clubs or a Virtual Pro Drop-in match) with real players (which for a lot of players is more fun than playing with your virtual pro and being limited to one ANY, who has to defend with 70 rated randomly generated players against your opponents highly rated virtual pros) for which you could have up to an 11v11 of online players playing for each team, with one captain on each side who selects and manages the team and tactics.
EA Sports made no announcement or notification that they had removed this game mode for the release of FIFA 14 which left plenty of players disappointed, the only reason I can gather for removing this game mode was to promote the cash cow of which is Ultimate Team.
Removing this destroyed multiple large fifa community websites such as TotalFifaLeagues.net and YourFifaLeague.net.
As well as above, by removing this game mode you are unable to play with more than 2 friends other than on Pro Clubs, if you had say 6 friends in your party on previous FIFA's you could play a 3v3, 4v2, 5v1 ect. or all 6 of your friends could play another group of friends with Online Team Play, with FIFA 14 this cannot happen.
In my personal opinion, Online Team Play was the most fun game mode on FIFA and removing it has degraded the game, they have removed more game modes than adding since moving from FIFA 13 to FIFA 14 when surely the main objective of "upgrading" your game would be to add new features rather than remove them?!

I am currently compiling a list of community leagues that were forced to shut down after the removal of this mode. Send me a message with any details about the communities you lost so I can include them in my direct correspondence with the developers. Post this link on your social media feeds to ensure their office sees how many players miss this feature.

We hit our first big goal and the momentum around this issue is undeniable. Email the EA Sports community managers today and tell them specifically why you miss playing 11v11 with your friends. Post the petition link on your Facebook feed so we can keep this pressure on them.

Miss this mode so much. Pro clubs is boring with all the glitches and pay to win stuff. Just let us use real teams again for 11v11
Bring back OTP and give it a massive overhaul by implementing: - a new match lobby (like Pro Clubs) - votekick system - disable/limit ball callings - NPCs w/ legendary difficulty - player matching system - 11 vs. 11 - "Mute All"-button Please listen to your playerbase, EA!
EA really ruined the social aspect of this game. Used to play all night with my friends now we cant even get a decent squad together.
You can still find games with 10-22 people in OTP matches on fifa 13 now. That's just their poor excuse, in my opinion.
Shame but i spoke with Ea team about this when removed and they say its down to there stats showing it would be a pretty unused game mode.Wish they would listen
please bring back fifa 13 please and the old ones
This feature really needs to rerturn...
