Bug in Seasons Mode: Missing Player and Strange Substitution with Real Madrid

Hi EA Team,

I wanted to report a strange bug I encountered while playing Seasons mode with Real Madrid.

I played three matches, and during the first two, I noticed something odd—I couldn’t see Vini Jr. on the field, but I thought maybe I just wasn’t paying enough attention. However, in the third match, I decided to check the lineup, and Vini Jr. was indeed selected. But again, I couldn’t see him on the field. I started counting the players and realized there were only 10 players on the pitch—9 outfield players and the goalkeeper. Even the commentator mentioned that I was a player down. Just to clarify, none of my players were sent off or anything like that.

At halftime, I opened the management screen and decided to swap Vini Jr., who was already selected, with Bellingham. That’s when something even stranger happened—the game substituted Bellingham with Vini Jr. instead of just switching their positions! Despite this, I still had only 10 players on the field.

And if you look closely, you’ll notice that in the team management screen, Vini Jr. has full stamina while the other players’ stamina is partially depleted.

I’ve attached some screenshots to show what I experienced. This bug was quite frustrating, and I hope it can be looked into.

Thanks for your attention!

  • I am having this exact problem with Real Madrid. Whoever is the striker basically starts glitching after the first pass and just runs out of the pitch and I am one player down all game. 

  • This bug occurred for me a week and a half ago on both PS4 and PC.

    I tried playing with Real Madrid and France multiple times, but the same issue keeps happening—Vini and Mbappe leaves the pitch.

    I thought the latest update would have fixed this.

    Why is this still affecting so many people?

    This is the first time I’m experiencing this issue.

    If it’s not resolved soon, I’m considering switching to FIFA2K after being loyal to EA SPORTS since 1999.

  • Had the same issues. Couldn’t move Vini or even change players. He would just glitch around like Vanellope from Wreck-It Ralph lmaooo. He would some times disappear off the field and similar to others, any attempt to change his position in the field with a player on the field would result in them being subbed off. I also had Courtois disappear once lmao. What a joke.

  • Meanwhile you can start with other player and then change it to Vini, works for me 

  • I had exactly that too, but with Liverpool, now I can't pass or it does it very inaccurately, it's just unplayable
