Measurement System Setting NOT Persisting – "Metric" option

Product: EA SPORTS FC 26

Platform: All Platforms (PS5, Xbox Series X, PC)

Issue Type: Visual / Settings Bug

I am writing to report a persistent and extremely frustrating bug that has plagued this franchise for years and is still present in FC 26.

For decades, EA Sports forced the Imperial system on players simply because they selected the English language. Finally, the team realized that a vast majority of the world (Europeans and others) play the game in English (as a universal language) but use the Metric system (cm/kg). While the option to manually change the "Measurement System" in the Visual settings was finally added, it is fundamentally broken.

The Bug: Even though I have set the Measurement System to METRIC in the settings menu, the game fails to apply this setting correctly upon restarting the game.

1. I set the Measurement System to Metric and save.
2. I restart the game.
3. When I check the settings, it still says "Metric" (as seen in the attached screenshot).
HOWEVER, inside the game modes (Global Transfer Network, Squad Hub, Player Bios), all player stats are displayed in IMPERIAL (ft/lbs) (as seen in the screenshot with Hakim Ziyech).

The Only Workaround: To fix this, I have to manually go into Settings every single time I launch the game, toggle the setting to Imperial, and then toggle it back to Metric. Only then does the game refresh the UI to show cm/kg.

It is incredibly frustrating to have to perform this manual toggle every single time I play. This issue occurs across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC for years. Please fix this save state issue so that "Metric" actually stays Metric after a reboot.
