Issue has persisted has game release in September on every platform. Problem stems from EA server career mode cloud storage saves becoming outdated or corrupted after Title Updates, and occationally squad file downloads. On Xbox Series X/S platforms have been able to continue career mode save, only when a manual save is created, in addition to the hard coded auto save. Personally, at the start of every new career mode, I append the file save name with a 'MS' (e.g. Chelsea MS) (MS abbreviation for manual save) for the initial autosave prompt, then immediately create a second save file with 'AS' (Chelsea AS) (AS abbreviation for autosave to distinguish between the two, and ensure always the one auto saved by the game system). As the career progresses, I manually save both files after significant events transpire (closing of transfer market, four or five matches played, etc.) to ensure if update occurs, or game crashes, can avoid redoing several weeks of the career. Remember, whichever career mode save is manually saved last, that becomes the new game autosave, which is overwritten when progressing. If a new bug/glitch has been introduced after Title Update 13 last week, perhaps try three manual saves, instead of the two that have worked, since game launch.
Let's be honest. We know there won't be a fix for this, infact, it'll probably continue to FC26. Career mode players are neglected for one and only one reason... Money.
Ultimate team problems are always addressed or "Solved" because it cost them money and UT players are aggressively vocal online.
Having to solve it with multiple save work arounds and having no support for a known issue is ridiculous, but if they don't acknowledge it, the problem isn't there (to them).
If I come across a fix, i'll 100% make the time to post it here. But for now, to my pals who have lost hundreds of hours of progress, I'm just as angry as you and hope your next Career run is more exciting than the one(s) you lost!
