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.
[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,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.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!
FC26 Character Creation Sharing System (Face & Appearance Codes)
Hello EA SPORTS Team, I would like to suggest a feature that could improve multiple modes in FC 26, including Clubs, Career Mode, and Player Customization. Currently, in the tactics section, players can share and import tactics using codes. I believe a similar system should be added for character creation and player appearance. For example, many players create highly detailed and realistic faces (such as famous footballers) in Clubs mode and share them online. However, recreating these faces manually is very time-consuming and often does not result in the same accuracy. If there was a system where players could share a “character code” or “appearance code,” others could simply copy and paste that code to instantly use the same face or customization. This feature could be very useful in: - Clubs mode (custom player faces) - Editing AI players or bots in Clubs teams - Player Career Mode customization - Manager Career Mode character editing It would save time, improve creativity, and allow the community to share their creations much more easily—just like tactics sharing. I believe this would be a very popular and useful addition to the game. Many players in the community would love this feature. Thank you for your time and consideration.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?The Morale System in Career Mode is broken
The morale system in Career Mode is simply broken, it does not work; every player regardless of Squad Role requests to leave if you don't play them 95% of the time; I genuinely can't rotate my squad because I instantly get bombarded with messages consisting of unhappy players threatening to leave. How can I do an RTG if I can't rotate or experiment with my squad? How am I supposed to manage a huge squad if 90% of my players want to leave all the time? How can I build my dream team in this broken system? The worst part is, most of the players who have left/requested to leave are players that play EVERY WEEK, but the moment you rest them, drop them for the odd cup game or against relegation fodder they start complaining, followed by a transfer request. I forgot to mention that NOTIFICATIONS are STILL NOT SHOWING UP, having to check my messages every 10 seconds ruins the career mode experience, the notification for player messages should pop up on my screen but it doesn't. The constant messages sent by players on Career Mode this year is genuinely overbearing and tedious, it ruins the experience, it's genuinely gamebreaking and it wasn't like this prior to FC 26, fix the morale system, fix squad roles and fix contracts.

In the Youth Academy you can't scout Strikers taller than 6'3", this wasn't an issue prior to FC 25 and the problem is still occurring in FC 26, in fact it's honestly difficult to scout any Strikers above 6'0" in general. In the Youth Academy you should be able to scout Strikers who are 6'4"+, unfortunately we can't do that, for some strange reason it's capped at 6'3", not to mention most scouted Strikers in the academy are 5'7"'-5'9", the chances of getting Strikers within that height range is too high, and it shouldn't be the case, to reflect real life football, most scouted Strikers should be 6'1". It's extremely rare to get tall strikers in general, please fix this and patch it so we can get tall strikers on a regular basis, on previous editions of Career Mode I could scout "Physically Strong" or "Striker" and come back with Strikers who were 6'4"+, why has this changed? It's so unrealistic to scout "Target Forward" to only comeback with a bunch of Strikers who are all in the 5'7"-5'9" range, please resolve this, it's so frustrating, we should be able to scout Strikers who are 6'3"-6'6" on a regular basis; scouting CBs and DMs above 6'3" is pretty common I get a lot of them, so why can't this be the same for Strikers? Please fix this. EA_Darko EA_Aljo EA_Pulsar EA_Vendcera
FC 26 Career Mode - not loading saves
I go through the terrible new UI for entering manager career mode, and I navigate carefully to the load save option (instead of it just being like last year on the front page which was way easier to use might I add). Then I go to the save I want to use, and I get stuck on a blank screen where I cannot select anything or exit or anything, I have to close the game down. Please fix this as it is atrocious and completely unacceptable.
