Substitutes Reduced from 9 to 7 in Career Mode (PC - Steam)

Dear EA Support Team,

I am experiencing a bug in EA Sports FC 25 Career Mode on PC (via Steam). When I start a new Career Mode save, I have 9 substitutes available on the bench as expected. However, when I progress to the second season, the number of available substitutes decreases from 9 to 7 without any changes in settings or regulations.

This issue affects squad management and tactical flexibility, making it difficult to adapt to matches. I have checked my settings, ensured my game is updated to the latest version, and restarted the game, but the issue persists.

Could you please investigate this bug and provide a fix? Let me know if you need any additional information.

Thank you for your support.
