Career Mode - European Competitions Glitched

Started a career mode with Shamrock Rovers, where their league season runs from February-November, similar to MLS. I enabled European competitions and I'm trying to play the Conference League play-off ties in February, but all the European competitions are gltiched. I think this has to do with the career mode beginning in January unlike the majority of other clubs in the game, where their seasons begin in August. I then simmed to August and the European competitons were still glitched, meaning you have to sim about a season and a half to get these competitons to begin to function (with new teams in each due to a full season having just been simulated). Is there any fix to this? Thanks
