Legacy Bug

I am mostly offline player who likes to play career mode and kick off custom matches. So, my biggest hope for FC 27 is that EA managed to fix a bug that made the game unplayable for me. Thus, decided to remind them of the bug here because it persisted throughout the entire FC 24, 25 and 26 games. 

Platform: PC

Bug Description:

There is a severe legacy issue carried over from previous titles (FC 24, FC 25 and FC 26) and hopefully not into the current game settings. When attempting to customize and save multiple team lineups or team sheets back-to-back via the main menu (Settings > Edit Teams > Team Sheets), the game completely freezes or crashes to the dashboard.

The system fails to handle multiple squad database rewrites in a row. If you modify the starting 11 or tactics for more than several teams without fully restarting the menu, a crash occurs, and all unsaved progress is lost.

Steps to Reproduce:

Go to Customize > Settings > Edit Teams > Team Sheets / Club Transfers.

Select a team and modify its default starting 11, formations, or custom tactics.

Move directly to another team and repeat the process.

After modifying several teams /maybe 3 or 16 or more teams consecutively, inevitably the menu will freeze or the application will hard crash when trying to back out and save.

Additional Critical Issue (Kick Off Reset):

Furthermore, even if the game doesn’t crash and I manage to manually save the custom lineups, the changes do not persist. The moment I close the game and relaunch it later or the next day, entering Kick Off mode resets all teams back to their default factory/live settings. 

The game forces a server-side profile or squad update that completely overrides and obliterates hours of manual customization. The fact that personal user data cannot be hard-locked and loaded consistently makes offline play entirely pointless.

Product Impact:

This is a critical legacy bug that ruins the experience for offline and Career Mode players who prefer customizing their game database before starting a save. Due to this issue remaining unfixed for multiple consecutive years, I have decided not to purchase the game this season without a confirmation that the issue is resolved. And I am a buyer of the game since FIFA 98. Legacy menu stability bugs like this should be a high priority for the development team.

    I completely agree. We are aware, the cash cow of the game, namely it Ultimate teams is the most important and it is mainly on it that they waste their time on updates and improvements, but aren't the rest of us who play the standard game people..??? Don't we pay this amount of money for this product. What is this discrimination and complete disregard for users like me and you for several years?

    This is a super unprofessional attitude in the full sense of the word.

    I think that as many people as possible should signal this problem so that they take it into account. Let's fill their mailboxes with emails, letters, comments and complaints.. I hope they don't hear..
