Bugs regarding team management

This issue has now existed for around 7 months, has hundreds of reports and replies, and still has no actual acknowledgment or communication from EA besides “Needs more info”.

The problem is extremely simple to reproduce. Go to Edit Teams and transfer players such as Kylian Mbappé, Mohamed Salah, Cole Palmer, Michael Olise, Alisson and others. The game creates duplicate player instances because these players are somehow linked to Classic XI. Team Sheets become corrupted, tactical systems break, lineups bug out, and the entire offline sandbox experience becomes unstable or unusable.

This is not some advanced edge case or obscure exploit. This is literally one of the most basic functions in football games for decades - moving a player from one club to another. Edit Teams exists specifically for this purpose.

People are not asking for miracles anymore. Most of us simply want communication. Even a response like “this is not currently a priority”, “we are aware but do not have a fix”, or “this issue will not be fixed in FC26” would genuinely be better than complete silence for 7 months.

What makes this worse is that many users report a similar Team Sheets corruption issue already existed in FC25 and was supposedly fixed around January 2025, meaning this appears to be a regression caused by the Classic XI integration.

The most frustrating part is the complete contradiction between marketing and reality. The game is advertised around deeper tactics, authenticity, realism, team management and player freedom, yet a fundamental offline feature - transferring players in Edit Teams - can corrupt the game.

Many of us paid full price for this product. We are not complaining about subjective gameplay balance or minor visuals. We are reporting a reproducible, game-breaking issue affecting a core feature of offline play.

Please acknowledge this properly.
