Bug in EA FC 25 Career Mode

So ... Me and a friend have now played and tested the FC 25 career mode for about 20 hours and have encountered countless bugs. If you (the developers and testers) had tested your game and especially the career mode, then so many obvious bugs would not be in the game. Or you just don't care because the career mode doesn't make any money. It's just a shame.


1. import tactical template using code

We imported a tactic with a code in the main menu for a club as a standard tactic template and then started the career with this club. However, we were then no longer able to change players, be it within the starting eleven, from the bench to the starting eleven or in the reserves. We had to reset the squad and start a new career. Actually a great feature, but game breaking.

2. youth players have extremely low values

It was immediately noticeable that all types of players always have between 1 and 20 header precision and goalkeepers always have miserable diving. And by always, I really mean always.

3. youth tournament won on penalties, or not

I won the first youth tournament in extra time / penalty shoot-out. However, the menu then says that I was eliminated. The same thing happened the second time. Bravo!

4. Scout report from Scout who is not assigned to a country

We always use a scout who has not been sent to a fixed country, as he can scout individual players from various countries. However, this always raises a task in the menu, which then cannot be completed, as scouted players cannot be called up afterwards via the scout and instead the screen appears where you can send the scout to a specific country.

5. exchange deal canceled, task in the menu does not go away

I accidentally accepted a trade deal for one of my players and when I had to negotiate with the player from the other team, I rejected it because the player is garbage. The task where I have to negotiate with the player hasn't gone away for a year now.

6. extremely slow menu

In general, the menu reacts extremely slowly and feels laggy and I have read this several times now. It's a shame that EA have changed the only thing that works about career mode in FC 24 to make it seem like they've changed something.

7. boys tournaments can only be played solo

Once again incredibly lazy. Is it that difficult to implement the ability to play youth tournaments in co-op?

8. Weird facial hair and hair bug

Every few times when I startup the game all players randomly have light blue facial hair and a weird white texture on the scalp. Had this same issue in FC 24 and my ticket has never been answered and I've read about this bug now multiple times (see attached Image)

Etc.

  • Well I've stopped playing it already, just bought it but done my usual edit team ready for manager career mode. I can't change players from the team at all, change subs or change the team with anyone of the rest of the players I have. EA basically put out a worse game than all their previous including fifa. Absolutely shocking these types of glitches should definitely have been sorted if they couldn't they should have pushed back the release as many gaming companies do if their are way too many bugs etc.

    @joeyblade11 same issue with freekicks too but knowing EA the camera angle will now probably be locked behind a paywall 😂
  • Beyond all of your (OP's) mentioned points, and others' points, I also noticed in my Career Mode that my bench during games is often randomized, instead of being the one I set up in team management (accessed through the main menu). I am honestly quite surprised that there are this many bugs this year, despite many of the features being copies from the last few iterations of the game. Reminds me of when many of the bigger game studies got angry at Larian Studios for making a game that was actually finished, and with only a few bugs of which were fixed asap. 

  • There is a bug when you play in one of the nordic leagues like Sweden and norway that you cant play European fotball in the first season. 

  • 1. In game bug unable to change corner/free kick taker

    2. the R2 quick sub comes up every stoppage from minute one but can’t be used

    3. As OP said, really laggy menu so I’m constantly pressing the wrong thing. 
    4. I didn’t play FC 24 but when did they get rid of team lineup before a match?

    5. The game in general just feels slow and horrible, like your players are in treacle, I even created an all 99 attributes player and they still feel awful

    6. The whole tactics part just doesn’t seem to make sense, the ui for it feels awkward

  • I'm having the same issues. I'm also having an issue with my scouts, I've set up instructions on all of them, It keeps saying that I don't have any instructions on them, & continues to not scout any players at all. It's extremely odd

  • also you send a player on loan, he won't grow and you can't see any kind of info about his usage in the team. Not a single info  about minutes played, overall increased etc.

  • Regarding winning on penalties and then the game decides no. I had the same exact situation yesterday.

    Was playing in the FA Cup with Portsmouth in the 3rd round against Wycombe. Drew 2-2 after ET. Went on penalties to win 11-10. Did the post match interview. Went back to menu. Checked the table and it registrered as "Wycombe won on penalties 10-9" !!!

    I won but got eliminated. The game highlights, funnily enough, showed my winning penalty but to no avail I guess haha...

    This is the worst bug I have ever encountered on fifa. Ever. This did it for me. Actual gamebreaking bug. Apparently the same happened to the famous youtuber Mark Goldbridge while playing the League cup.

    This is unbelievably bad.
