Career Mode Contract Renewal Loop Causes Unavoidable Player Transfer Requests
There is a persistent bug in Career Mode related to player contract renewals that leads to unavoidable player dissatisfaction and transfer requests.
Steps to Reproduce:
- A player approaches the manager requesting a contract renewal.
- The contract is successfully renewed.
- For a few simulated days, everything appears normal.
- The same player then sends a message stating they are unhappy with their contract and want to discuss it.
- Attempting to negotiate is impossible because the game blocks the action with a message such as “Recently signed a new contract.”
- After additional simulated days, the player sends another message complaining that the manager has not spoken to them about renewing their contract.
- Shortly after, the board contacts the manager stating that the player has complained about zero attempts being made to resolve their contract situation.
- Despite previously being very happy (good morale, regular playtime, etc.), the player submits a transfer request.
Additional Notes:
- This issue occurs regardless of whether matches are played manually or simulated.
- It can happen as early as the second season in Career Mode.
- Player performance, morale, and playtime do not prevent the issue.
Career/Manager Mode is the only mode I play, making this bug particularly disruptive and disappointing. This bug undermines core Career Mode mechanics, removes meaningful player-management control, and can derail a save through no fault of the player.
Basically it sucks and please fix it!
