Black Boots Bug in Career Mode (PS5) – Please Fix Without Requiring New Save

Hello,

I am experiencing the “Black Boots Bug” in Career Mode on PS5. Every time I play a match, all my players automatically switch to the same black default boots, even if I manually change their boots in the settings.

The changes do not save properly, and during the next match the game reverts all boots back to the black model again. This issue makes the Career Mode experience feel incomplete and visually broken.

I have already tried:

  • Editing player boots manually
  • Restarting the game
  • Clearing PS5 cache
  • Updating squads
  • Re-installing the game

None of these attempts fixed the issue.

Please note:

I have a long-term Career Mode save that I do not want to lose.

I kindly request that the fix for this bug does not require starting a new save file.

Many users are reporting the same issue, so it seems to be a global bug that needs an official patch.

Could you please forward this to the development team or confirm whether a fix is planned for an upcoming update?

Thank you.

    Ugh!  I couldn't kick off my career mode as a manager because I've no control over the team management menu. I can't change formats, assign captain, freekick etc.. I can't even replace the main XI no subs during the match or before the match 💔

    They seriously need to fix that black boot bug, it's not like it would be thst hard a fix yet they just keep ignoring fans requests, I don't think they care because they already made their money with us buying the game.
