Noticing Several Bugs in Career Mode on PS5

I’ve run into a handful of bugs while playing Career Mode on PS5 and wanted to share them here in case others are experiencing the same issues:

Incorrect Pronouns in Emails
Whenever a male player gets injured or has an issue, the email refers to them as “she.” For example: “M. Ugarte is injured and she will not be available.”

Press Conference Glitch
If you do a pre-match press conference, the game brings the same conference back after the match. When you try to complete it again thinking it’s for the next game, there are no questions available. The only fix is restarting the entire game—meaning you have to replay the match you just finished.

Crashes When Managing the French Women’s Team
Whenever I try to make lineup changes before a match while managing the French women’s team, the game crashes instantly.

Youth Matches Using Generic Kits
Youth team matches always load with a strange generic white kit instead of the actual team kits. You have to manually change it every single time.

Weird Kick-Off Animations Across All Teams
Every team now performs that awkward, unrealistic kick-off animation.

Broken Manager Introduction Graphics
During the pre-match introduction (where the game shows your number of matches, etc.), the manager’s name doesn’t show properly. It displays what looks like unfinished placeholder code inside parentheses.

Crossing Has Been Made Worse for No Reason
Crosses used to work perfectly. Whatever adjustment was made recently has made them noticeably worse—and they didn’t need to be changed in the first place.

EA, please: when you update or tweak something, focus on what actually needs fixing.
You make a lot of money from loyal players every year. Not everything needs to be touched or rebalanced. Games will never perfectly replicate real life, and that’s okay—just fix the essentials and leave the rest alone.
