Black boots
When I start a career mode all the players seem to have black boots on and not there original boots they wear when going into a game. Tried clearing cache tried editing manually and they just keep staying to the ea black boots when entering a game. Not sure if anyone else having the same issue.[Bug] Unable to Renew Contracts with Any Player in Career Mode
Hello, I would like to report a critical bug I encountered in EA FC 26 Career Mode (Manager). Issue: I am unable to renew the contract of any player in my club, no matter how many times I try. Details: The issue occurs both when starting a brand-new career and when continuing into later seasons (e.g., 5th year). After some time, players end up leaving the club for very low transfer fees, even if I don’t accept it. This completely breaks the career experience. I recorded a video as an example and attached it here. Platform: PlayStation 5 Game Version: Launch version (the game was just released today) Expected Behavior: I should be able to renew contracts with players in my squad and keep them unless I decide otherwise. Actual Behavior: The game does not allow me to renew contracts at all with any player in the squad, and after some time, players leave for cheap transfer fees without my approval. It’s very clear that this hasn’t been properly tested. Even if this is presented as a “new feature,” it makes no sense that all 32 players in the squad would refuse to renew their contracts. That’s completely unrealistic and ruins the career mode experience. This issue makes Career Mode frustrating. Please fix this as soon as possible, otherwise buying early access feels pointless. Please see the attached video for a clear demonstration of the issue. Thank you for your support and hard work! Best regards,
FC 26 CAREER MODE PLAYER PLAYER TRANSFER REQUESTS [BUG]
There is an big issue with players requesting for transfers when unhappy. There are no clubs who actually make any bids no matter how long they try to leave the club. You can’t even renew their contracts or do anything with them. Please fix this issue with the next patch update because it ruins the player experience.Problems with the artificial intelligence in FC 26 Career mode
Problems with the artificial intelligence in FC 26 Career mode I wanted to understand what they did with the machine's intelligence in FC 26 Career mode. The AI's behavior is really bad: Doesn't attack, doesn't shoot, and doesn't cross. Holds the ball too much, even when it should advance. Doesn't do one-two passes or collective plays. On defense, holds the ball in the back in an absurd way. If I press, closing the passes, they lose the ball easily and a goal is scored. I have the aggression on 100 and they haven’t made a single foul. I've already tried all possible settings: Authentic Gameplay, Competitive Gameplay, Ultimate and Legendary difficulties. The result is still really bad: the game is extremely easy, without a challenge, and the matches end in routs. Sadly, you can't enjoy Career mode like this. EA please fix it. I buy this game only for the career mode and it’s completely unplayable.I cannot respond to offers for player transfers in career mode.
In the manager career mode that I started 7 days ago on PlayStation 5, I see a 'no action available' notification in the offers made to the players and I cannot respond to transfer offers. Depending on this situation, transfer requests are automatically rejected after a few days in the game. This issue started three days ago, early in my second season. It's definitely not related to the club's financial situation or the players' contracts. I've tried checking for updates, creating a new save, and continuing the game, but nothing seems to work. At the same time, my scouts started to be unable to find players. Even though their player search filters were set to "all". These appear to be bugs in the game at this stage. Can you help me with this issue?Manager Career sim match bug
Hello, I have been playing the manager career mode, FC 26 on my PS5 and I am really enjoying it aside from the fact that I played through an entire season with 26 of my games ending in 0-0 ties. Most of the other games in the season only ended 1-0. If I quick sim this seems to give more realistic scores but I don’t have the option to substitute the players I want. I really enjoy the sim match feature. Please look into this, I really want to continue my season without seeing a 0-0 tie every match. Thanks!

I have turned the sliders up to 99 injury frequency and 90 injury severity. There are only 2 injuries that pop up during the season (not frequently) Broken toe (3 months) Bruised shoulder (5 days) This isn’t new. This was in 24 and 25 as well. Before you start a season you are able to choose if you want certain players to have an injury at the start of the season. When you have a look at what injuries are actually available, there are at least 50- 60 different injures. That’s great to have them within the data base so WHY don’t players get more variation of injuries. Give me some random knocks in training, or pulled hammy, or sprained ankle, or something else. I don’t even care at this point but I’m sick of only getting 2 injuries every season. It makes it pointless to rotate the squad or look for depth in transfer market.Online Career Mode Should Be Added to EA FC (Detailed Suggestion)
Dear EA Sports Team, I’m a PlayStation 5 user and a longtime fan of the FIFA series—I've played every game from FIFA 18 to FC 25. But to be honest, the spirit of FIFA feels like it's fading. Ultimate Team has become a game mode purely focused on opening packs and spending money. It’s the same game every year with just new cards, and for real football lovers like myself, it gets boring. What we really want is clear: an Online Career Mode. I’m talking about: - Players choosing a team and managing it in real-time - Competing in a league with other real online users - No more AI matches—only head-to-head against real people - Stadium upgrades based on club success and earnings - The ability to build training grounds, medical centers, and other facilities - Fanbase growing with your club’s performance - Optional cosmetics like custom kits, club logos, and manager outfits that could be monetized This kind of mode would take FIFA to the next level. Personally, I would jump straight in with Newcastle United, start from the bottom, and fight my way to Premier League and Champions League glory. That’s the kind of meaningful, competitive, and rewarding football experience we're missing. If you still want to make money, no problem—include cosmetic packs, custom visuals, etc. But continuing to release the same game year after year focused only on Ultimate Team is not what your loyal players deserve. We’re not just chasing goals—we’re chasing legacy, passion, and real football strategy. And only you can bring that to life.
Career mode injuries
So far I seem to only encounter shoulder injuries, player out for 5 days or my biggest bug bear, broken toe injuries, player out for 3 months. I am near the end of my 2nd season on a new save and have just picked up my 5th broken toe of the season, the 2nd one for the same player. It never use to be this bad, in fact I had to set injury slider to high to get players injured at all in older FIFA games... but I don't know what's going on with FC25, it's like they've only programmed in 2 injuries. Can this please get addressed in a future update?
