Re: Player Career cant renew contract

It appears some people have found luck in renewing contracts. Has it been determined that starting a new career will fix the issue?

it works if you complete ALL objectives including the optional ones. if you don't you will run into the bug again!

Hey Everyone, I've had a reply back from someone in the EA Career Mode Team.

In regards to Players being Unable to Renew their Contract -

Indeed, the issue only occurs if you don’t complete all of your optional objectives. If you complete all objectives, you should be fine and have the option to renew your contract.

In their current investigation, EA have found a link with the issue - between a 'Wage Increase', the 'Optional Objectives' and the 'Renew Contract Option'. As it stands, if you request a higher wage than what you already have, and then fail to achieve all 'Optional Objectives', you won't have the option to renew.  

"The system is designed to convert all the progress you make on your objectives into monetary value and we wanted to make getting a raise a more significant achievement.

Thus, in order to get an improved contract, you would need to stay true to your commitment and complete all of your objectives. However, the contract renewal option shouldn’t have been restricted to the same standards as getting a raise, which is what we’re looking into fixing."

As when the issue will be resolved, they haven't given a time as to when the issue will be fixed, however they are currently actively working on the issue, and are taking their time to make sure they resolve the issue correctly.

If you're wanting to restart your Player Career again, my advice to overcome the issue at the moment, is to make sure you complete all objectives before the end of the season so you can have the option to renew. To make it easier for you, make your wage demand as minimal as possible so the objectives are easier to achieve. The other option is to wait until the issue is resolved, but be assured - they are working on it.

look on that

They tellin us *

Hey @Piropolska6a5 I'll send these screenshots to my contact within the Career Mode team, and see what they can do. 

If anyone has any screenshots of all 'Optional Objectives being achieved and you have no options to either renew contract or move to target club', submit them here and I'll also send them across.

Hi George 

Really appreciate what you have done here to get info out of EA, as their “official” response has been derisory to say the least. See attached where I have achieved all objectives, and requested the same as my current wage. I cannot progress beyond this screen.

I know this is not necessarily the fault of your contact, and definitely not yours (!), but it is shocking for something like this to not be stress tested from day one. They advertised the player agent as a brand new feature, and literally the only meaningful function of that agent, to help you progress and pick your next team, is broken. It almost defies belief but sadly as career mode players we are used to disappointment. It is also extremely poor of EA to only communicate with paid up customers like us, through people like you, rather than through official channels. That this thread is marked as “solved”, even for admin purposes is laughable, bordering on parody.

Thank for your efforts in getting this fixed.

I have another question, when will they fix the golden ball? because after changing colors, even if you complete all the records, you will not receive the reward.

so the optional objectives aren’t optional then ig lol EA is such a joke i pray to go another company tries to make a footy game cuz this is just embarrassing
