[Career Mode] Unable to change squad or swap youth players
Product: EA Sports FC 26
Version: 1.6.1
Platform: PC
Game Mode: Manager Career Mode (Youth Academy Tournament)
How often does the bug occur? Often
Bug Description:
In Manager Career Mode, during the quarterly Youth Academy Tournaments, there is a major UI issue on the pre-match Team Management screen. Before the match starts, players are listed correctly and can be selected, but it is impossible to swap a starting player with a bench/reserve player. The UI completely fails to execute the player replacement function, locking the squad to its default state.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Advance to the quarterly Youth Academy Tournament in Manager Career Mode.
- Enter the pre-match setup screen and open "Team Management".
- Select a player from the starting V.
- Try to swap them with a player on the bench or reserves.
- Observe that the selection goes through, but the players do not swap positions on the screen, making it impossible to change the squad line-up.
Actual Result:
The user interface visually allows selecting players, but the actual swap action does not trigger. The starting line-up cannot be modified before the tournament match.
Expected Result:
Selected players should successfully swap positions between the starting XI, bench, and reserves, allowing full tactical customization before the match begins.
