EA,The contract/transfer contract objectives you have set are outrageous. Most of them are simple and should be accomplishable. Examples of this are a striker having to score 10 headed goals in a season or 6 first time shot goals. Not necessarily easy, but doable.Then there are the ones that are just not achievable in my eyes. Examples of this are recording 100+ successful slide tackles in a season as a center back. If you’ve never tried it, it’s incredibly difficult to slide tackle, especially for it to be counted as a successful one, and there is absolutely no way you could hold an average of 3 a game.Another example are the assist requirements. You need record setting assist numbers for a single season just to move to a new club. As an example, I created a striker career. To get a move to Juve on the bare minimum wage, I would have to record 38 assists this season on top of all the other requirements. For Athletics Madrid, it’s 51 assists. Even Leverkusen requires 27.It’s ridiculous and desperately needs to be fixed. All the work you guys did updating the transfer system means nothing if we can’t use it. It makes playing this mode nearly pointless. This issue spans across positions as well as I’ve checked a few of them. Please look into this.Thanks.

Agreed! Absolutely ridiculous that the requirements are ridiculous. You should never need bicycle kicks or flair passes as a requirement. I even had one to beat players with skill - when the game even looks at beating players generally with dribbles - which is way more relevant.You shouldn't need any more than 25 goals or AT MOST 30 goals in a season. Ideally should be G/A not both separately. Long distance goals should never been a crazy requirement. I need 11 goals from outside the box in my first season. Why do my 30+ inside the box not matter as much? If you're a forward - the only important things should be G/A and rating. With additional things like dribbles, players beaten and maybe crosses for wingers. Actual useful parts of the game. And they should never ever been record breaking - should be 70% of the record if that. It should definitely not be so high when you're a young player on like $10k per week.If you're a defender - cleansheets, take ons. Tackles in the game don't even count properly so its really hard to even track - but it should be important and reasonable. I also believe the stats don't update properly if you are subbed off, so that's a really frustrating headache when you have a tight schedule.

I encountered a similar problem where I didn't complete 1 'Optional Objective' and wasn't able to re-sign my contract, even though I was offered more than I requested.

I don't think they will ever change the ridiculous objectives i had to leave my club when i won the league and got 40 G/A and was player of the season but because i didn't get 10 outside the box goals i had to leave even when i scored inside the box 40 times its absolutely stupid

For me the issue is the objectives not always tracking. I am trying to get a move to Dortmund, and one of the optional objectives is 7 first time shot goals. I have scored 12 and it's only tracked 1. It's the same with the chip shot goals.

Found an even worse example. Scored a hattrick of first time shots, and it was tracking during the game, but once the game was over, it reverted back to 1 goal scored.

It looks like Player Career Objectives have been looked at for the next update, it may be resolved.

EA have just picked up on the Renew Contract/Objectives issue. They may resolve this issue soon!

I could not agree more... it is like they don't care about career mode at all! I have been so massively disappointed with this years career mode so far. Not being able to resign with a team even if you dont hit the "goals" they set is just stupid! My guy is basically the greatest player of all time and my team wont resign him even for meager money??? That would literally never happen in real life. The tracking is aweful too which only compounds the issue. I need 80 something slide tackles and it isn't counting them correctly... So frustrating!

The objectives do seem unrealistic, and it's frustrating as you could have a perfectly good season and still be forced to leave because you didn't complete all of them. Hopefully after no Career Mode fixes in the Winter/December update, these changes are address in January.

I think the contract renew bug as well as the objectives are the biggest two problems and would fix most of the problems for a lot of players. But it's EA. We are not going to see these changes before FC 25, if we see them at all.
