Men's Career Mode has Women in Youth Team

Product: EA SPORTS FC 25
Platform:Xbox Series X
Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox Series X
What is your Gamertag/PSN ID/Switch ID? F2 MFKR78
Which mode has this happened in? Career Mode
Which part of the mode? Manager Career
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Check youth teams in career mode. One save had male players, my next had several female ones.
What happens when the bug occurs? Most of my youth team in the men's league are actually women. They have male names but the models are clearly women as not only do they have female hairstyles and features but the bodies are women's bodies.
What should be happening instead? All players should be men

I've just set up a second career mode and had to abandon this one now because most of my youth team in the men's league are actually women.

They have male names but the models are clearly women as not only do they have female hairstyles and features but the bodies are women's bodies too.

Without wanting it to come off wrong, when these players bounce on the spot, certain areas jiggle that shouldn't/wouldn't be jiggling on male characters.

    Career Mode.

    Looking at my youth players I see a girl/woman as one of the players.   

    I'm sure thats all fine in Ultimate Team, but in real life no women play on men's teams.

    Second attempt and it's ALL women in my youth team this time.

    Birmingham City Career Mode

    Transfers On

    Takeover 50 million.

    Realistic settings.

    Game now broken for me and not playable until fixed 😡 and it played SO well too.

    Yep this is a bug.  They made all the young players look like girls and if they give them longer hair they are female with men's names...One of my players actually has breasts...  I guess EA is going for the diversity thing and ruining the game's youth system which isnt even working properly anyway.

    @aenima6969 yeah that's the issue, the majority of the players have breasts so it's not like you can even kinda ignore the women's looks and say it looks like a slightly feminine man.

    I hope this gets fixed quickly as it's now ruined career mode instantly when I was finding it really immersive this year.

    @ANJB1978 They have a lot of bugs in this game... sometimes I think EA overdoes it with changes to impress people and doesnt fix the old stuff that was already broken. There are minor bugs like a HE being referred to as a SHE in the social media posts, as well as incorrect player positions in there as well. All the way to custom tactics resetting themselves etc. Once the game comes out officially I'm sure we will see many more threads regarding every little issue imaginable.

    @aenima6969 Actually looking back at my first save, all but one of the youth players in that are women too...I just didn't notice it as blatantly at the time.

    Different team and settings aswell so I'm guessing it's like this for all teams.

    So annoyed, I was enjoying it so much and looking forward to really delving in today but now I can't play until a fix. Which of course I'm sure will come much much later than any Ultimate Team fixes unsurprisingly.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play Career Mode and add some players to your youth academy
    What happens when the bug occurs? When playing career mode with a mens team, all youth academy players are women (their faces and body). Please fix this immediately
    What should be happening instead? They should have mens/boys faces/body.

    Are EA even trying the new features (not being in UT) before releasing the game?

    @EA Why do you even let us report bugs in career mode, when you clearly don't give a [edit - EA_Barry] about fixing it, not even acknowledging the bugs?

    Disgraceful behaviour to be honest.
