Career Save File Corruption -“Appears to be damaged” Error

Hi,
I'm facing a recurring issue with Career Mode in EA Sports FC 25 (PC/Steam) where my save files consistently get corrupted once they reach exactly 14,575 KB.

After that point, trying to load the career gives me this message:

"The save file appears to be damaged and cannot be used. If you choose to delete the damaged file, it will be removed from your storage device."

This has happened in three different careers, even after:

Fully deleting the Settings folder

Clean reinstalling the game

Disabling Cloud Save (Steam and EA App)

Verifying game files

Using different career names and slots

Each time, the file size reaches exactly 14,575 KB and then breaks. I suspect there's a file size limit or memory bug involved.

I’ve backed up the .sav files and I’m happy to share them for technical inspection.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
