FC 26 Career Mode Bugs

Hi,

I’ve spent a significant amount of time playing Career Mode and wanted to highlight a couple of issues that consistently break immersion and reduce the overall quality of the experience.

First, the way injuries are handled in relation to expectations feels fundamentally flawed. When my player is sidelined with a long-term injury, I still receive negative feedback from the agent and social media about not meeting objectives or needing to improve performance. This creates a disconnect between gameplay and progression systems, as the player is being penalized for something entirely outside of their control. Ideally, expectations and related messaging should dynamically adapt to injury status.

Second, the in-game social media system appears to be contextually inaccurate. For example, after joining a new club less than a month ago, I’m seeing posts referring to this being my “third season” at the club and making long-term narrative claims that simply don’t match the actual timeline. This gives the impression that the system is either using incorrect data or relying too heavily on generic, non-contextual templates.

More broadly, the social media feature has strong potential but currently feels disconnected from the player’s real career progression. It would be a major improvement if it reflected actual milestones, tenure, performance, and player status in a more believable and dynamic way.

Overall, these issues don’t relate to core gameplay, but they have a significant impact on immersion—especially for players who invest heavily in Career Mode as a long-term experience.

I hope these systems can be revisited and refined in future updates, as they have the potential to add a lot of depth when working correctly.

Thank you for your time.
