Issue Overview:
There is a severe, recurring progression bug affecting Division Rivals Bounties that has carried over directly from FC 26 into FC 27. Before a match, a Bounty appears normally on the Rivals menu. When completing its requirement during the match, the in-game completion banner pops up as expected, followed by a second green checkmark confirmation on the post-match Victory screen. However, upon returning to the Division Rivals hub, the Bounty reward is completely ignored, no extra stage progression is granted, and the exact same Bounty remains permanently stuck on the menu—preventing any new Bounties from ever spawning.
Step-by-Step Visual & Video Evidence:
1. Active Bounty & In-Game Completion:
Prior to the match, the active Bounty was "Goal Machine" (Score at least 2 consecutive goals in your next match for +1 Stage Progression). As shown in the gameplay clip below, upon scoring in the 75th minute to make it 5-5, the "Goal Machine" completion notification clearly pops up in the top-right corner of the screen:

2. Post-Match Victory Confirmation:
Immediately after the final whistle, the post-match VICTORY screen (shown in the screenshot below) explicitly confirms that the Goal Machine Bounty was completed with a green checkmark icon:
3. Zero Payout & Infinite Loop (Before vs. After the Win):
Despite both in-game and post-match confirmations, the Before/After comparison image below proves that the reward never registers. Before the match, my progression pointer was at Stage IV with an active Hot Streak! (which grants 2 stages per win). With the win + Hot Streak (2 stages) + Completed Bounty (1 stage), I should have advanced 3 stages to Stage VII. Instead, I only moved to Stage VI, and the exact same Goal Machine Bounty remained frozen on the Rivals menu:
Impact on Player Progression & Lack of Workarounds:
Update (October 22, 2026):
This issue has still not been fixed following the new season update. Unlike in FC 26 where a full Season Reset or Division relegation would sometimes force-clear the bug, this no longer happens—likely due to the removal of Division relegation this season, leaving the glitched Bounty permanently frozen with no reset trigger available at all.
Recommended Fix:
Fix the server-side synchronization for Division Rivals Bounties so that completed Bounties properly credit the bonus progression stage immediately after the match and clear from the active slot, rather than getting stuck in an unbreakable loop for the entire season.

Issue Overview:
I am experiencing a recurring bug in Division Rivals in EA SPORTS FC 27 Ultimate Team. The same Bounty has remained on my Rivals screen for a long time and never clears, even after playing multiple matches.
The Bounty appears to be permanently stuck, and no new Bounties appear. This prevents me from accessing new Bounty challenges and earning additional rewards or stage progression.
I have continued playing Rivals, but the issue remains unresolved. It appears that the Bounty status is not refreshing correctly or syncing with my account.
This is particularly frustrating because Bounties are supposed to provide additional rewards and progression opportunities while playing Rivals.
Expected Behaviour:
Actual Behaviour:
Request:
Please investigate this issue and fix the Rivals Bounty progression system in FC 27. If this is an account-specific bug, please reset the stuck Bounty and restore the functionality so that new Bounties can appear normally.
This issue needs to be addressed, as it is preventing affected players from accessing the intended Rivals Bounty rewards and progression.

Hello Darko, recently I noticed that some of my topics are being converted into replies in other threads. I don't mind this, but my problem is that they sometimes get moved to unrelated topics, or into threads created more recently than mine (for example, the thread we are in was created over 6 days ago, while the other thread is only 3 days old, which seems to follow thread seniority). In all these instances, I never find any reply from a moderator explaining who is responsible for moving the topic so I can discuss it with them. I don't have a big issue with this as long as our opinions help improve the game overall—whether through topics or replies—but sometimes the situation can be quite frustrating.
Community ManagerHey elsahy22 posts about the same issue will often be merged to an existing thread to make things easier. It is better to have one large thread for an issue rather than 10 smaller ones.

Hey EA_Darko
I know this, but my issue isn't with merging based on the problem matching and the seniority of the topics. Sometimes the topics are not matching; meaning, I post an issue and another person posts a completely unrelated issue, yet my topic gets merged with theirs. Like This one :
FC 27 PS5 – Mismatched Server Validation Error After Matches
The other issue is that, for example, my thread on this bug has been up for over 10 days, and it was merged into a newer thread, even though I am discussing more details—not just this bounty, but multiple types—whereas the author of that thread is only talking about one type.
Platform: PlayStation 5
Game: EA SPORTS FC 27
Game Mode: Ultimate Team – Division Rivals
I’m experiencing a persistent Division Rivals Bounty glitch.
My active bounty says “Win your next match” and offers +2 Rivals progression points.
However, after winning matches, I only receive my normal Rivals progression points. The additional +2 points are never awarded, and the same bounty remains stuck on my account.
I’ve played multiple matches, but the bounty refuses to clear or refresh. This also prevents new bounties from appearing.
Expected behaviour: After winning a match, the bounty should be completed, the additional 2 Rivals points should be awarded, and a new bounty should become available.
Actual behaviour: I receive normal progression points, but the bounty remains permanently stuck.
Please investigate this issue and reset the stuck bounty on affected accounts.
