Hello,
I would like to report a bug I encountered in EA FC 26 Career Mode (Manager).
Issue:
I am unable to renew the contract of a player who is already in my club, no matter how many times I try.
Details:
- The issue occurs both when starting a brand-new career and when continuing into later seasons (e.g., 5th year).
- After some time, players end up leaving the club for very low transfer fees, even if I don’t accept it. This completely breaks the career experience.
- I recorded a video as an example and attached it here.
- Platform: [PlayStation]
- Game version:
Expected Behavior:
I should be able to renew contracts with players in my squad and keep them unless I decide otherwise.
Actual Behavior:
The game does not allow me to renew contracts at all, and after some time, players leave for cheap transfer fees without my approval.
This issue makes Career Mode frustrating. Please fix this as soon as possible, otherwise buying early access feels pointless.
Thank you for your support and hard work!
Best regards,
Highlighting official EA response:
Thank you for all your reports. I've asked our Career Mode team about it, but they confirmed, this is working as intended. This has been a recent change in FC 26, where players in the last year of their contract will not be willing to renew their contract right away.
Instead, over time, depending on variables like morale and matches played, they can become willing to expand the contract.
We've actually highlighted that change in our Career Deep Dive. I'd recommend reading through it all to better understand the intricacies and new changes in FC 26.
