Hello,
I am experiencing a critical bug in EA FC 26 Career Mode on PS5. Starting around the 2027/2028 season, absolutely all of my players (with no exceptions) show the status “Does not want to renew contract” even when they:
- have high morale
- play regularly
- have an appropriate squad role
- recently joined the club
- have a fair or increased salary
This issue has been going on for two full seasons, and it affects my entire squad every year. It is impossible to negotiate any new contract unless a player sends a complaint message, which is clearly not normal gameplay behavior.
Even players I signed recently immediately refuse all negotiations. Most of the squad is now entering the final year of their contract, meaning I will lose the entire team through no fault of my own.
This is clearly a systemic Career Mode bug, not intended gameplay. It completely ruins long-term careers (5+ seasons) and makes the save unplayable.
I have invested dozens of hours into this save and it is now impossible to continue.
Please escalate this issue to the development team, or at least officially acknowledge the bug so players know it is being worked on.
Platform: PS5
Mode: Manager Career
Season: 2028
Game version: EA FC 26 (latest update)
Thank you.
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.
