Classic Squads made Team Management even worse

We all know by now, that Team Management (tactic, formation, transfers...) is completely broken and useless. And we all know you don't care about fixing it (although you did alreaday in EA FC 25, but didn't care enough to do the same in EA FC 26...) because it's isn't a money grabbing cash cow like Ultimate Team i.e. ...but nevertheless people are disappointed, suffering, remorseful, because they did spent a lot of money on a unplayable game. 

So to add something to the countless unawswered threads in this forum, I have to say, that Team Management got EVEN WORSE since Classic Squads have been introduced to the game. The problems so far have been: formations couldn't be changed, sometimes they did through intense work-arounds, but most of the time, they didn't and if you edited to much, an CE-108255-1 occured; you couldn't change positions of some players, they were stuck in their positions; you couldn't transfer some players...because they have a "role" in their squad? because of the national team there in? because of some random stuff? because of an corrupt database you don't care to fix? Nobody knows....

...AND NOW - in addition to all of that: you are limited the amount of players you can transfer of Teams who have a Classic Team. For example: You can move Mbappe out of Real Madrid and transfer him to Monaco (if you're lucky and no other random bug occurs). But after that YOU CAN'T move Carvajal because it says the Classic XI can't have less than 18 players. Which could be worked around if you could add players to Real Madrid Classic XI (or if removing a player from the real club wouldn't remove them automatically from the Classic XI...), but you can't do that.

In conclusion: you didn't lift one finger in trying to fix (OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE!) a problem that makes this expensive game finally playable for countless people who bought it, thinking they could use it, NO YOU MADE IT EVEN WORSE! Everything is a scam nowerdays and you are, too. Thank you for absolutely nothing.

  • Thank you EA_Vendcera​ for finally responding. To ensure that this carefully prepared response does not get lost in the other thread, as numerous carefully written threads have apparently been lost, since people are still asking for “more info,” I am creating a separate thread for it, just to be on the safe side. 

    But first of all, I have to wonder: did you read ANY of those threads mentioned in this forum? Because if so you shoudln't need to ask how to reproduce these issues. That you STILL need to ask something like that shows how little attention you and your team have given the Transfer/Team Management issues. BUT to not hinder the little progress made, I try to give you an overview of the problems and how to reproduce them. It's seems to happen on any plattform - I witnessed it on PS5. 

    PLAYERS STUCK AT THEIR POSITIONS -> Sometimes players are radomly stuck at their positions. You can't move them. I can't see a reason or a rhyme why this happens. Is it with players who have also a certain role? We don't know. But it happens. A lot. For further information look at this thread with clear reproduction-instructions: Unable to Move or Substitute Players in Team Management (Some Teams Only)

    EDITED SQUADS ARE NOT SAVED -> After editing Teams in Team Managemt, you close the game and log back in later, the changes will be reverted back to the default line-ups and the changes to the Starting XIs and Substitutes Benches were gone. That was a problem in EA FC 25, too. But was fixed in january last year. For further information look at this thread with clear reproduction-instructions: EA Sports FC 26: Customised Team Sheets, Line-Ups and Custom Tactics not Saving

    TOO MANY CHANGES: CRASH WITH CE-108255-1 ERROR -> For a game among friends, we need 20 teams with 25 players each. All players available in the game can be selected once. Each team selects a representative team and then the 25 players are added to Chelsea FC, for example. The actual players must be removed beforehand. In total, this principle requires approximately 1300 to 1350 transfers for 20 teams that have to be emptied and then refilled. The current database does not seem to be designed for this, because after the first few changes, problems arose in the tactics area, meaning that no new lineups could be created for teams or players could no longer be swapped out of positions. Finally, when all 20 teams were set up, it was no longer possible to start a game between two of these teams, as the game crashed and displayed the code mentioned above. For further information look at this thread with clear reproduction-instructions: Game crash with error CE-108255-1 in different modes

    PLAYERS ARE LOCKED IN CLASSIC XI TEAMS -> Since December, certain teams such as Chelsea, Liverpool, and Bayern have been playing in this Classic Team. These XI teams include both legends and current players. At Chelsea FC, these are Caicedo, James, Palmer, and the goalkeeper. If you want to move these players, you can't, or only if the Classic XI still has at least 17 players. So it's not possible to transfer Caicedo. But since you can't add ANY players to the Classic XI, the workaround doesn't work either. The players are trapped. It is very reminiscent of the situation a few years ago when there was an “Addidas All Stars” team in FIFA where players with exclusive Addidas contracts could not be moved for weeks. My account, Layten-NR1, also sent various screenshots and videos of the game crashing to the problem server department of their system.

    This is just a selection. There are various other problems and existing, detailed threads describing additional problems with the database, team management, and transfers in normal offline mode. Like this:  Squad Changes Not Saving / Team Sheets Frozen After Transfers - or just have a freakin' look at the initial posting of this thread  you already posted in. THEY ARE ALREADY MUCH MORE LISTED THERE! 

    There is no workaround, and deleting the temp files does not help. And now I would be grateful if you would stop letting users who have paid a lot of money for a game they haven't been able to play so far spoon-feed you everything, and instead do your job, click on the links here in the thread, or simply get an overview of the problem yourself. It's outrageous to ask for MORE INFO at this point – the whole bug report forum is full of it.

    You just need to allow players to get transferred to the Classic Squads. That all of this is in issue in the first place is astonishing. How could this not get checked before it's added to the game?
