[Bug] Unable to Renew Player Contracts in Career Mode

It's not a game bug, but a stupid new feature from EA Sports. This prevents you from playing a realistic career, because you can't extend players who don't want to extend their contracts, and players are simply bought off with a release fee, which often results in players leaving for free, even though you don't want them to. This makes the career unplayable for me, and I think for many players, too. I don't know what they're doing there. They don't test their career beforehand, or what?
