Where are the Squad Updates with January Transfers?

Title Update 1.4.2 was released over twenty-eight hours ago, and we are still awaiting the two squad updates that will first unlock hidden game content (real player face scans, boots, balls, kits, etc.), and second, transition players between clubs that occurred last month during the January transfer window. After more than a decade of playing the game, still do not understand why squad updates are not released immediately following Title Updates, instead of the random and incessant delay period of between twelve hours to over an entire week.

    After thirty-six hours, the first squad update has finally been released, however, for anyone wanting to start a new Manager Career mode save with January transfers included, you still must wait for the second upload, presumably arriving in the next three hours or tomorrow morning.

    I’m also waiting, it’s also the 2D pictures that need updates, I hate players playing for my club with old kits from previous clubs showing.

    Is that how EA usually do it. I vaguely remember that year the same thing happened and we had to wait for a week for the next squad update? But might be remembering wrong.

    If you are starting a new Manager Career mode save utilizing the Live Start Points, probably have to wait until tomorrow when that game mode updates. Personally, only play using a Fresh Manager Career mode at the start of the season because the black boot issue when modifying user squad players is not patched. In addition, always delete all Profile files and perform a clean installation after Title Updates. Merely starting a new career mode save with the squad file download normally always works. If you are starting a Fresh career mode save, and have not performed a clean installation of the game in some time, either navigate to the Edit Teams section of the main game settings (see link) or go to Profile section of the settings, delete all existing squad files, and start new career mode save using the standard (normal) method downloading the most recent squad file.

  • Does anyone know when the free transfers signed after the window shut will be added to squads? I keep looking for updates but none so far.....for example Alex Oxlaide-Chaimberlain now at Celtic isn't even in the game

    I had the same problem MP but it was a clitch, all I had to do was reset squads and new update was available.
