[BUG] “Challenge Accepted” Trophy Unobtainable - No Live Challenges
There are currently no active Live Challenges available in EA FC 26 Manager Career, which means players are unable to unlock the “Challenge Accepted” trophy/achievement, which requires successfully completing your first Challenge. This is particularly frustrating because EA FC 27 has not even been released yet, meaning players who are still working towards completing EA FC 26 are effectively being prevented from earning an achievement through no fault of their own. I understand that the focus naturally shifts towards the upcoming game, but EA FC 26 is still the current title until EA FC 27 is released. Players should have a reasonable opportunity to complete all of the game's trophies and achievements during that period. Request Please release one final Live Challenge in Manager Career Mode, ideally one that remains active until the release of EA FC 27. This would give players a final opportunity to earn the “Challenge Accepted” trophy and properly complete their EA FC 26 achievement collection before moving on to the new game. It seems unfair for an achievement to become unobtainable simply because there are no Live Challenges available, especially while EA FC 26 is still the current game. Please consider adding one final Live Challenge that lasts until EA FC 27 launches. Thank you.
BUG] "Challenge Accepted" Trophy Unobtainable - No Live Challenges EA FC 26
There are currently no active Live Challenges in Manager Career Mode, making the "Challenge Accepted" trophy/achievement completely unobtainable. Players working towards the Platinum/100% completion are prevented from earning this achievement through no fault of their own simply because the required content was removed. Request: Please reactivate or release one final Live Challenge in Manager Career Mode and leave it active indefinitely. This will allow players to properly finish their achievement collection. Thank you.“Desync Glitch - Incorrect Match Result Reported After Penalty Shootout”
To the EA Sports Support Team and Forum Moderators, I am writing to report a recurring synchronization issue in EA FC that alters match outcomes. During a recent match against Manchester United, the game progressed to a penalty shootout. I won the shootout with a final score of 12-11. However, upon advancing from the post-match screen to the game menu, the result was incorrectly recorded. The match log stated that Manchester United won the match by 11-6 on penalties. This discrepancy indicates a server-side or client-side desync during the transition or penalty phase, causing the game's simulation logic to overwrite the actual gameplay result. I am playing on PlayStation 5 Please investigate this synchronization error, as it negatively impacts the accuracy of match reporting and game progression. Thank you for your time and assistance in resolving this bug. Best regards, [The_trinity_3]FC in general, do not care about Career mode.
Career Mode needs more attention – from a player since FIFA 98 I’ve been playing FIFA/EA SPORTS FC since FIFA: Road to World Cup 98 and have bought and supported this franchise for almost three decades. Career Mode has always been the main reason I play. I’m becoming increasingly frustrated with the lack of genuine attention Career Mode receives. Every year we hear about “new” Career Mode features, yet many are simply features that existed in older FIFA games, were removed, and are later brought back and promoted as new. More concerning is that basic functionality that previously worked now seems to be breaking. Some current FC 26 Career Mode bugs I am regularly experiencing on Xbox Series X include: Youth Tournament audio bug: When I play a Youth Tournament match, the main menu music continues playing during the match. After returning to Career Mode and then playing a normal competitive match — for example, Manchester United v Liverpool in the Premier League — the menu music continues playing during that match as well and there is no commentary. This completely ruins the immersion and should not be happening. Youth Scout notification bug: I send youth scouts out, receive their scouting reports, open and review the reports and then close them. Despite having read everything, the notification remains and continues telling me, for example, “You have 3 unread reports.” There is seemingly no way to clear it. These might sound like small things individually, but they accumulate over a long Career Mode save and are particularly frustrating because these are basic systems that have worked properly in previous games. I understand Ultimate Team and online modes are enormously popular, but Career Mode has a huge group of loyal players who have supported this franchise since long before Ultimate Team even existed. I was playing FIFA before many of today’s players were born. Despite supporting this franchise continuously since 1998, I have also never once received a beta/closed-testing code or opportunity to test a new release. I don’t believe I’m automatically entitled to one, but surely players who have spent decades playing Career Mode are exactly the type of people who could provide useful testing and feedback about regressions and long-term issues with the mode. Career Mode has enormous potential. Please give it the development, testing and attention it deserves rather than continually removing features, bringing old features back as “new”, and allowing basic bugs to persist. I’m posting this because I love the franchise and want Career Mode to be better. After nearly 30 years of playing FIFA/EA SPORTS FC, it is incredibly frustrating watching a mode I have played for decades feel increasingly like an afterthought.Header: Useless National Team Update in Career Mode - Fix The Qualifiers!
I started a completely new Player Career Mode save after the latest update just to play as the Indonesian National Team. Yes, the team is finally in the game, and we keep winning every International Friendly match. However, we are COMPLETELY LOCKED OUT of the Men's International Cup! This is a massive flaw in your tournament structure. You added new national teams but forgot to integrate them into the AFC qualification brackets. The tournament slots are hardcoded, meaning newly added teams are stuck in 'Friendly Match Purgatory' and have zero mathematical chance to qualify for the main tournament. What is the point of adding a national team if we can't take them to the World Cup? Please fix this broken tournament script and qualification system in Career Mode!Manager Career Mode Scout Issue
In my EA FC 26 manager career mode save, my scouts basically don't work. I don't know why, It seems like they scout 20 players all the time and actually they don't. They all have (yes 6 of them) 5 star vision and experience. Also, when I set new instructions, they find new players but never scout them. How can I fix this?Live Start Points in Manager Career.
Hello EA Sports FC Team, I have a question regarding Live Start Points in Manager Career. One of my favorite ways to play Career Mode is to create a realistic save that follows the real football calendar as closely as possible. At the moment, I can start a career from the end of the 2025/26 season using Live Start Points. However, when the game generates the 2026/27 season, the Premier League fixtures are randomized instead of using the official fixture list. Will FC 26 receive a Live Start Point for the start of the 2026/27 season (Matchweek 1) with the official Premier League fixtures in the correct order, once the new season begins? Or are Live Start Points only intended to recreate the current real-world season, meaning the official 2026/27 fixture list won’t be available until FC 27? I’d really appreciate any clarification, as this would make a huge difference for players who enjoy realistic Career Mode saves. Thank you for your time.
