This is happening to me to. I am playing on ps4. I downloaded the game via ea access. I was looking forwards to paying this however I am frustrated as every time I switch face of franchise mode to classic it deletes the save. Then I have to start over. I tried to manually save, however pressing the touch pad does not bring up the save menu. EA needs to fix this asap as it's un-playable and frustrating as hell. I do not change any settings on the console or game. Hope this helps.
@Paramore89 did you also have a look at the Franchise tab already (after switching it to classic franchise)? I've read that after converting to classic franchise the save should be found there (but I did not try it myself).
hope that helps. good luck!

I'm having the same problem any time I leave the game mode, switch to classic, or close the game.

Hey, all.
If you switched your Franchise to Classic and lost the save please provide me your PSN ID/Gamertag/Origin ID so I can forward this to the team so they are aware of it's impact. I cannot guarantee they will be able to recover a save file, but knowing how much time and effort goes into a Franchise it's upsetting to hear they can be lost when switching to Classic.Face of franchise gets moved to a franchise file once story is over, correct? And you can’t play franchise mode without subscription, correct. So I can’t play a career in classic mode without a subscription?

You can play an offline Franchise mode without a subscription. Is it deleting the save for you every time you switch it to Classic? After I finish story It deletes from face of franchise, takes me back to create character and start over. As soon as I switch to classic mode. When I open the franchise mode all of my characters from face of franchise are there. When I try to click on that franchise character it tells me I need a subscription to play.
- EA_Blueberry@hazmatt721 That's bizarre.
Do you have an external hard drive hooked up to your console? Are you on Xbox One or PlayStation 5? Play station five, no external hard drive, no external anything. So yes I am able to start a franchise and play off-line but it’s the character that I brought through the story mode of face of franchise that I want to continue the career of. And that saved player has a cloud in the upper right hand corner in the franchise save menu. Can I switch that? Or do I have to start a new league?

If you're not able to access the play you want to play with right now I don't see any problem attempting to play the cloud save version of it. The cloud save version requires a subscription.

Thank you for your patience. I sent this over to the team to verify whether this is a bug or working by design. I'll update the thread when I find out more. I have gone now through 3 different players and every time i shut down the console it deletes the progress. I havent even made it through a single season yet and this keeps deleting it. Coming from the older versions on my xbox 360, this is very frustrating. Seriously, how hard is it to just make the game saveable to the console? There has to be an easier way to keep this from happening. I dont want to sound like the old guy and be like "back in the day" but this is very frustrating and makes me want to return my game to the store since i bought a hard copy disk. Yall need to get this fixed ASAP

Hey there.
I really want to help you out with that, sounds extremely disappointing when you've gone through that many career saves.
I take it you're shutting down the console after a save is done in progress, otherwise that can cause the file to get corrupted.
Do you happen to be using an external hard drive for your console?
Do you have multiple save points for each Franchise? I tend to manually save a fresh file throughout my Franchise and alternate which save file to save the latest progress to. That way if worse case scenario happens and it gets corrupted, I can always go to the save file that is only a week behind. This is a habit I've done all my life going back to Half Life 2 when I got put in a bad spot causing me to start all over. :\
