Substitution button BROKEN in FC 26

I paid for EA SPORTS FC 26 and encountered a game-breaking bug: the substitution button (substitution menu) does not work and the menu cannot be exited, forcing a full force-quit and lost progress. This is a core mechanic — not a cosmetic bug — and it wrecks online play and career modes.

EA Support: you have a support case (ID: [CASE_ID]) and a video proof here: [VIDEO_LINK]. Reproduce steps are simple and consistent. This level of QA failure is unacceptable for a paid release.

Demanding immediate action:
1) Acknowledge within 48 hours that you reproduced the issue.  
2) Publish a clear ETA for a fix.  
3) Provide compensation options for affected players (refund, match recon, in-game credits).  

Why this is intolerable:
This is a core gameplay mechanic. Releasing a paid product where fundamental in-match controls can lock up the game demonstrates gross negligence in QA and a reckless prioritization of shipping over basic playability. Players have paid real money for this. The problem is systemic and must be treated as high-priority. Seriously, what have EA’s developers been doing all year? It feels like the design team’s only goal is to squeeze money out of players instead of delivering a functional, polished game. Their parents will be shamed for that -- If they have! The developers 4000+ , NMSL !!!

    I also had similar issue on XBox this morning. Unable to make substitutions during FUT League game. Menu button pressed numerous times and didn't work. This happened during two consecutive games before I stopped my play session. Was working in earlier games.
