[BUG] All players refuse to renew contracts – Career Mode save corrupted

PC player here, also in my first season 25/26 I can’t renew any contracts, in the next season the players are angry but still can’t negotiate a new one, this has ruined Career mode completely.

I’m in the year 2029 and just in the last day EVERY player on my team has a “Not willing to renew contract” status, even players out on loan show the same message and guys that I just recently signed to 4yr deals. Even players i recently promoted from the academy.

Literally one day it was normal and the next it’s this

Same issue here. Logged in today in my year three season. Not sure if a new update these past few days triggered something but now 40/44 of my roster has the message “not willing to renew contract.” The only four that instead say “contract accepted” I just signed in the latest transfer window.

Other EA forum posts on this subject I saw EA reply this is a new feature and is working as intended. There is NO CHANCE that this is working as intended. 100% roster turnover for your existing team? 

Need to literally freeze our career modes until they fix this. Never seen a bug so game breaking as this one. 10% of roster choosing this option seems excessive. 100% is ludicrous.

I can confirm this bug is present on PC as well. And it does not only affect manager career. I also created a save on player career mode and all squad players, including your own has this bug. A fix for something this game breaking cannot wait until next title update. 

Experiencing similar issues in present Manager Career mode saves. The problem was slightly mitigated in a previous Title Update, however, again as always, less than half the problem was fixed, and completely ignored for the past few weeks. The entire system to be removed, developed from scratch, and re-introduced in FC 27 at a minimum. Another game breaking issue with this new methodology is when starting a new career mode save with existing players on long-term contracts with low release clauses, am unable to renegotiate to remove them, causing all players with release clauses to be sold as soon as their value is equal to, or greater than the release clause. Had a number of instances where an existing player had six years or more left on their current contract, all of them were sold below market value, and the manager rating plummeted by the board for taking huge loses.
