Pre contract bug

Product: EA SPORTS FC 24
Platform:Xbox Series S
Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox Series S
What is your Gamertag/PSN ID/Switch ID? JamesRusty
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? Sign or sell a player on a pre contract, specifically a Bosman ruling. So a player with 6 months or less on their deal.
What happens when the bug occurs? The player joins the club in January instead of July. Simple fix I assume as you can sign players with a year left at any point this game.
What should be happening instead? Player joins at the end of his contract. July.

You can sign players with 6 months left of their contract in December and before. They will join you in January instead of July. The Bosman rule and previous games don’t allow this.

    @james2003russell This is a major bug... This needs to be addressed. Pre-contract players CANNOT join in January. This is stupid and against the rules of UEFA.

    It’s January and they still haven’t fixed it… How do they screw up so badly year after year?

  • @james2003russell You can now open talks with players in December so I guess the game let's the player join in the next window which os then January. It might have something to do with the date of contract expiry if they changed something there.
  • Does this game still have developers employed? If so why hasn’t this stupid * been fixed? It’s May and it’s still a bug.

  • Is this fixed in FC25 or were the developers too busy introducing new bugs?

    In fc25 I can’t even sign players who’ve got 6 months left and are over 23 just ruins the save
