Currency Problem since eafc26

Title:

[BUG] Retiring in Player Career forces currency to USD ($) instead of Sterling

Body:

Platform: PlayStation 5 / Xbox Series S / PC

Game: EA Sports FC 27

Mode: Player Career Mode \right arrow Manager Career Transition

Issue:

Retiring a player to start a Manager Career automatically converts the save currency to US Dollars ($).

Even when the original Player Career and profile settings are set to British Pounds (£ / Sterling), the transition script ignores this and forces USD. Because Manager Career locks currency at creation, there is no option to change it back to Sterling.

Notes:

This bug has persisted since EA FC 26.

Steps to reproduce: Set currency to Sterling \right arrow Start Player Career \right arrow Select 'Retire' \right arrow Accept a manager job. The budget and wages will revert to USD ($).

Requested Fix: Retain the original save/global currency selection upon retirement or prompt the user with the standard Manager Career setup screen.

    This issue has been addressed in the most recent game update. Thank you for your patience while this was worked on.

    • In Manager Career, incorrect currency symbols could show in some of the menus.

    Hello EA team,

    This bug happened in FC26 and its disappointing to see it carried over to FC27. 

    When setting up a player career, you choose the currency of choice. 

    When you retire your player to use as a manager, the currency always defaults to dollars and you are unable to change it back to the currency of choice at the beginning. 

    Its a really frustrating quality of life issue as I'd like to retire a player, use them as a manager in career mode and buy players in Stirling! 

    Please fix this. 

    Thanks,

    Liam 

  •  Bug Report] Player Career Mode retirement forces Manager Career currency to USD (Pounds / Sterling reset)

    Platform: PS5 

    Game Title: EA Sports FC 27

     

    Mode Affected: Player Career Mode / Transition to Manager Career

    Bug Description:

    When retiring a creation/real player in Player Career Mode to transition into Manager Career Mode, the currency automatically defaults to US Dollars ($). This happens even if the initial setup settings, general game settings, and main menu preferences are strictly set to British Pounds (£ / Sterling).

    Because Career Mode locks currency settings upon save initialization, there is no in-game setting to revert it back to Sterling once the manager transition takes place. This bug was present in EA FC 26 and has carried over unaddressed into EA FC 27.

     

    Steps to Reproduce:

    Set global menu currency settings to British Pounds (£ / Sterling).

    Start a new Player Career Mode save.

    Go to the "My Player" / Actions tab and select Retire.

    Accept a management job offer to transition into Manager Career Mode.

    View squad values, transfer budgets, or contract negotiations—the currency permanently changes to US Dollars ($).

    Expected Result:

    The manager save should retain the global or initial save currency setting (£ / Sterling). Alternatively, players should be given the Manager Career setup screen upon retirement to select their preferred currency and settings.

    Actual Result:

    The game hard codes the transition state to USD ($) without giving the user a prompt to keep their original currency preference.

    Please log this with the UI / Career Mode dev team for an upcoming title update patch.

  • When i retire in Player Career mode and continue in Manager Career mode with the same player, currency becomes in Dollars even if in the initial setup i chose Euros. Please fix this bug, it Is in the game since FC 26.

    Quando mi ritiro nella modalità giocatore e continuo nella modalità allenatore con lo stesso giocatore, la valuta in gioco diventa in dollari anche se nel setup iniziale della carriera giocatore era in euro. Per piacere sistemate questo bug, è presente nel gioco già da FC 26
