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.
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
