I can see how frustrating this is for you. Please monitor future updates/patch notes for any available updates on this. Thank you, EA_Barry.
Are you able to bring this thread to the attention of the development team? It feels like it is just being ignored/forgotten about.
Thanks.

blue166 The feedback from these threads are sent to the studio teams. That is a part of our job. However, what, how and when they resolve an issue in an update is up to that studio team. We have no say so in it. We pass it along, and after that, we wait just like the players.

EA_Shepard I appreciate the response to this thread.
I am becoming more impatient with this game this year than ever before.
This issue is very frustrating. For example if you play with Chelsea your reserves include, Quenda, Estevao, Wellbeck, Henderson just to name a few. Being unable to move these players onto the bench which mostly consists of defenders is absolutely criminal. There is no work around and we are totally stuffed.
The immersion for playing this title is fading out for me and very fast.
I truly am ready to just make the jump to Konami's eFootball now. Saddens me to say that and feel that way but can only watch so many updates drop and this issue ignored I and other people can take.
I would say that this UI issue is so broken it actually deserves a hot fix to be dropped to correct it. It's that big of a deal.
Thanks.

blue166 I get it. It is totally valid to get impatient with a game you play every year. There are games I buy every single year, and there are issues every time. We have all been there. You need your defenders. Really hard to play without them. Defenders are arguably the most critical foundation of any football team. Depending on who you ask, of course, but still, when you cannot use them, it kind of puts a hard stop to the matches.
I have looked for workarounds, and I see some but none that are guaranteed; they could also just be a coincidence that they worked. I get the readiness to jump ship. I have been in this industry a long time, and I have been a gamer for more years than I can count, so i get it. I wish there were things we could say that would guarantee any issue would be resolved but we cannot.
We watch these updates all day, and we look for those messages that something will be updated, but sometimes they don't come as quickly as we want them to.
