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:
- Permanently Locked Out of Bounties: Because this glitched Bounty refuses to clear—regardless of whether you win, lose, or repeatedly fulfill its objective—it completely blocks any new Bounties from appearing for the rest of the season.
- No Player-Side Fix: I have tried every possible workaround, including completing the objective multiple times in a row and even intentionally losing matches to force a reset, but nothing clears it. The only time it ever resets is sometimes during a full Season Reset/Division relegation (and occasionally it even persists beyond that).
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.

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.
