[Bug] Unable to Renew Contracts with Any Player in Career Mode

Hello,

I would like to report a critical bug I encountered in EA FC 26 Career Mode (Manager).

Issue:

I am unable to renew the contract of any player in my club, no matter how many times I try.

Details:

The issue occurs both when starting a brand-new career and when continuing into later seasons (e.g., 5th year).
After some time, players end up leaving the club for very low transfer fees, even if I don’t accept it. This completely breaks the career experience.
I recorded a video as an example and attached it here.
Platform: PlayStation 5
Game Version: Launch version (the game was just released today)

Expected Behavior:

I should be able to renew contracts with players in my squad and keep them unless I decide otherwise.

Actual Behavior:

The game does not allow me to renew contracts at all with any player in the squad, and after some time, players leave for cheap transfer fees without my approval.

It’s very clear that this hasn’t been properly tested. Even if this is presented as a “new feature,” it makes no sense that all 32 players in the squad would refuse to renew their contracts. That’s completely unrealistic and ruins the career mode experience.

This issue makes Career Mode frustrating. Please fix this as soon as possible, otherwise buying early access feels pointless.

Please see the attached video for a clear demonstration of the issue.

Thank you for your support and hard work!

Best regards,

Having paid £90...for EA26.... I am left with the only highlight being my cat mascot(who I find quite entertaining). As my expectations are so low, I am truly disappointed in the way this game has gone backwards in many ways.
The contract situation is a complete farce. My controller now has no vibration just a whistle that sounds like the batteries are running out on an old front door bell.
The total lack of effort with the kits, Boots and GK gloves are a joke!. The complete lack of new stadium.. Chants....crowd songs... New pitches, nets etc.
It just shows a total lack of care and respect for the player. EA have no competition when it comes to this game. Complacency for this cash cow is now embedded and condoned by EA.... Sad (loved this so much)
