Description
In Career Mode, the substitutes bench incorrectly displays only 7 available players instead of the expected 9. This limitation affects both pre-match team management and in-match team management screens.
Steps to Reproduce
1. Launch EA FC 26.
2. Enter Manager Career Mode.
3. Navigate to Team Management.
4. Check the substitutes bench → Only 7 slots are available.
Alternate Steps
1. Launch EA FC 26.
2. Enter Manager Career Mode.
3. Start or simulate a matchday.
4. Open Team Management from the matchday screen.
4. Check the substitutes bench → Only 7 slots are available.
Expected Result
The substitutes' bench should display 9 players, in line with updated football regulations and match rules.
Actual Result
Only 7 substitutes are shown and selectable.
Impact
Limits tactical flexibility for users.
Reduces realism compared to real-world football rules (most major leagues and tournaments now allow 9 substitutes on the bench).
May affect immersion and player satisfaction in Career Mode.
