Still No Fix for the Career Mode Boots Bug – Are We Invisible?

Hey everyone,

 

Has anyone heard anything official from EA about the boots color bug in Career Mode?

Every single player still shows up with generic black boots — no brand, no color, no personality — and it completely kills the immersion.

 

This isn’t some minor detail. For Career Mode players who care about realism and identity, it ruins the entire vibe. We spend hours customizing kits, storylines, and lineups… only for everyone to look the same.

 

We’ve seen patch after patch for Ultimate Team — but zero mentions of this issue in any of the updates. It’s been months since release, and nothing.

 

EA, if anyone from the team is reading this: please at least acknowledge the problem. We’re not asking for new features — just for the mode to look and feel like football again.

We’re a huge part of the FC community — players who buy the game every year specifically for Career Mode.

We’re not here for Ultimate Team or online packs. We pay full price from our own pockets because we love building clubs, stories, and realism.

It’s frustrating to feel like this entire part of the player base is being ignored.

 

Anyone else here as frustrated as I am?

Let’s keep this thread visible until we get an answer.

    It's unbelievable that this is the only mode I've played, and I've lost a significant part of the fun. FC26 now looks like FIFA 95. I don't pay money for these trivial bugs that they haven't fixed yet.

    seriously, does anyone know if EA is acknowledging the black boots glitch? every time i start a live career, players boots revert to the generic black ones. it makes the game feel unfinished and kills the realism. we are months into the game, and this is still an issue. are you guys gonna fix it or just leave it like this?

    This issue is STILL present...

    Three months have passed, and the bug remains unfixed. What exactly is the reason for this delay?

    It’s hard not to conclude that Career Mode is simply not a priority, since it doesn’t generate direct revenue — unlike UT mode.

    We are REALLY annoyed by this stupid bug.

    Please clarify whether this issue is actually being worked on.
