[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,Create/Edit Real Players Mode Needs Open Heart Surgery!
I dont mean this to sound rude, but Create/Edit Real Players has been the same for 10+ years now and its getting rather embarrassing! Were on PS5 consoles in 2025 not PS4 in 2013.. I make a thread on your Official Forums each year on how this mode can be improved that gets ignored EVERY year. But again, here i am with a list i feel can dramatically improve the creation side of the game that i ask for you to PLEASE look at: • Cold Weather Gear: Please add this setting that Data Reviewers get as an option IN GAME! This is needed for so many reasons that i will post below.. • Short Wrist Tape: We have a Long Tape option, but no Short? Short should be the default as that is what 90% of players actually wear yet its missing from the game? Instead, you have players running around wearing Sweatbands, this isn't Tennis! We need LOTS more accessory options, see MLB: The Show, they have an option for Short/Medium/Long Wrist Tape.. • Wrist Tape/Accessories Bug: Regarding Wrist Tape etc, there is STILL a Bug of when if a player wears coloured Wrist Tape then he wears the Home kit's colour for the Away & 3rd kits too which looks ridiculous! We need a 'Same As Kit' Colour option for accessories! • STILL no Undershorts option? Instead it's strangely defaulted to players ONLY in Cold Weather? This is why we need the Cold Weather Gear setting, as you could select Undershorts then choose On/Off/Cold Weather Only) so please make them selectable! • Grip Sock option: 90% of players have been wearing this sock option for YEARS now • Add the holes in socks Sock Type that Bellingham wears in-game into the socks options so we can give Created/Edited Players the same socks option? It's literally in the game.. • Please add Tattoos you can apply for the Right Arm, also for the Left Arm, so we can actually create matching Sleeve Tattoos! Why would there be different options for Left/Arm & Right Arm!? Also add LOTS more Tattoo options, just look at all the ones you had in The Journey that came out 8 years ago!? You literally have the assets.. • Please add ALL the new hairstyle options that players with Cranium faces have into Create a Player! (I've seen MANY that aren't selectable!?) • Ankle Tape: Should only be an On/Off setting only, as by law the colour HAS to match the sock anyway, so im not sure why we have blue ankle tape / red ankle tape etc.. (When set to On it would be the same colour as whatever kit they are playing in, just like Undershirts do) • Undershirt lengths: Please add different lengths for Undershirts such as 3/4 and rolled up • Shorts lengths: Please add Short & Long options for Shorts, the current ones would be Medium.. • Compression Pants: Please add these long Undershorts that players such as Robben/Giggs used to wear in Cold Weather (again a Cold Weather Gear setting needed) the assets are already in-game as they were in VOLTA! • Arm Sleeves: That Pogba etc wear • Potential Stat: This should be editable under Attributes • Composure Stat: This should be editable too, in fact make everything editable! • PlayStyles: These should have their own tab that we can be manually added/removed from players • Please show a players Star Head as his Profile Photo instead of a black silhouette • Bring back Game Face • Cranium: If Game Face can't be used, then let us upload photos so Cranium can make a player likeness for our Created or Generic player • Gloves: Why are they are so basic? Add Adidas, Nike and Club Logo branded ones • Colour Wheel: Add a colour wheel instead of having multiple different colours for each item, there should only be 1 item, for example: Wrist Tape, then you choose the colour.. • Manager Cold Weather Gear: Another reason for needing Cold Weather Gear, as currently in Manager Career you edited attire is automatically overwritten when playing in Cold Weather by coats/jackets that aren't selectable!?Women’s Career Mode unplayable past January
I was enjoying my career mode save but once we hit January 3 of my players signed pre agreements and I will now lose them in summer it killed the realism of my save. Please either extend the women players contracts or make it so we can negotiate more often please!!!!!!!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.Pitch Wear
Firstly there are lots of bugs in the game, nice to know the game was tested before letting customers pay extra to play early… one of my biggest gripes since 2018 or whenever it was introduced is “PITCH WEAR” You add an authentic game option which I thought great, a more immersive real life experience. But no… you okay the game and as always the pitches turn brown after 10 games… Honestly how is this still happening, who on earth is responsible for this and why are they still employed by EA… pitches should be perfectly green throughout the season and if you wanted to know what it should be like do a career mode with Real Madrid, their pitch doesn’t have pitch wear but every other team I’ve played with has a Sunday league looking pitch by January. Stop lying to customers telling them “we listened” because you didn’t. another year of disappointment for career mode players, and before anyone says “we don’t care about career mode” that’s where this franchise started and that’s why it’s where it is today.Can't continue on manager career...
Started a career mode with Colchester United (my home team) and its not letting me continue once I've restarted the ps5. There is no way for me to continue as there is no *continue* career option. It just has live and original. Is anyone else having this issue with career mode? There's no point starting a career if you cant continue with this. Its on PS5 im playing fc26 on. Please say im not the only one. I have attached a pic to prove there is no continue career mode optionIncorrect Match Count for Top Scorers in UEFA Champions League and Other Leagues
Hello, I would like to report an issue I noticed in the UEFA Champions League mode (and it seems to appear in other competitions as well). The number of matches played for top scorers is displayed incorrectly. For example, in the current 2025/26 UEFA Champions League season, the table shows that teams have only played 4 matches. However, some players are shown with stats like 6 goals in 8 matches (e.g., El Kaabi – 6 goals in 8 matches, Martins – 5 goals in 8 matches). This discrepancy is confusing and appears to be a bug in how the game counts matches played. It would be great if you could look into this and possibly fix it in a future update. Thank you for your help and for the great work on the game! Best regards, Drexa
