Critical Career Mode Issues – Contract Renewal Bug and Save-Load Accessibility

Dear EA Sports Team,

I am writing to report a major issue in EA FC 26 Career Mode that makes the game mode extremely difficult—if not impossible—to enjoy.

1. Contract Renewal Bug

A significant portion of players are unable or unwilling to renew their contracts, regardless of performance, role, or negotiation attempts. This results in large parts of the squad leaving the club against the player’s intentions, ultimately breaking the long-term progression that Career Mode is built on.

EA has stated that this is an intentional new feature, but the current implementation severely damages the gameplay experience. Instead of adding realism, it removes control and makes team management frustrating and unplayable. The feature needs to be rebalanced or redesigned so that players have a fair chance to retain key squad members.

2. Save-Load Accessibility

Currently, loading a saved Career Mode file must be done through the main menu. This is unnecessarily time-consuming and breaks immersion. Players should be able to access, load, and manage saved files directly from within the Career Mode menu itself, without having to return to the home screen.

These issues significantly reduce the quality and playability of Career Mode in EA FC 26. I hope the development team will take this feedback seriously and implement fixes or improvements as soon as possible.

Thank you for your attention.
