At this moment (October 16th), we have more than 100 (one hundred) bugs in FIFA 22 Manager Career Mode! 100+ bugs in just one FIFA 22 mode!!! Some of them are listed below. You can find other bugs and more detailed information with videos and screenshots in this thread.

 

 

YOUTH ACADEMY and REGENs (14 BUGS):

- Youth academy players have very skinny arms (noodle arms)

-  Youth academy players do not have number on their kit when promoted to first team

-  Youth academy players do not have name on their kit when promoted to first team

- If youth academy player has name on the kit it is always a fist name

- Youth academy players are disappearing at the start of a new season

- Homegrown talents starting as a goalkeeper with outfield stats but unable to retrain their position

- Youth academy player cannot change position via development plan – stuck at 1 week and it is not completed

- All youth academy players have only generic boots

- Some 15 years old youth academy players have grey hair or receding hairline. Too often they look like 50 year old manager

- Youth Academy - homegrown talents are losing their potential permanently because of low form bug

- Very high rated regens often found in the free agents list (16 years old 91 OVR striker for example)

- Some regens have very long full name (first name, 5 middle names, 2 last names)

- Sometimes game will crash if you try to enter Youth Academy menu

PLAYER POSITIONS and FORM (9 BUGS):

- Players position will change when you edit his boots or anything else. Also, all secondary positions that player had before will disappear. Because of this players OVR will drop

- If you substitute player he will lose all form. Straight from excellent to bad even when getting above 8.0 rating after the match

- Subs coming off the bench automatically have bad form which hinders their development

- Player can score a hat trick and receive 5.5 rating after the match

- Quick Sub suggestions are always wrong – ST for CB, CM for FW etc.

- CPU will change tactics after 75th minute playing players out of their normal positions

- There is a bug where teams in and around relegation spots never play an actual striker at striker

- CPU is using weak line-ups for very important fixtures (UCL, Europa league, FA Cup) or strongest line-up in trivial matches (pre-season tournament)  

 

CREATE A CLUB (13 BUGS):

- If you create 5 star club in Premier League you cannot by high rated players. Player  won't move to a league that is not competitive enough for their skills.

- If you create a club in Championship many bugs will appear: club will not be registered as English premiership club when promoted to Premier League, if you qualify for UCL club will be in the same group as other English clubs, you cannot play UCL games because they are not in the calendar, all result for those games will be generated and you will loose 1-0 every time, you will not receive any financial reward for participation in UCL

- Create a Club gives you the option to set your squad age (very young, young, seasoned, etc.) but there's very little difference (if at all) between the squads you get when choosing different options.

- NIKE home kit resets to default after edit

- When selecting to customize the home kit you want, the away kit resets its customization and vice versa.

- Create a Club in Polish League - too many players have the same surname

- Upgrade your stadium (choose a bigger stadium). Then go to Office tab -> Finances -> Transactions -> and you can see that actual number of seats will not be increased. You will receive the same amount of money from ticket sales like when you had smaller stadium

 

TRANSFERS, CONTRACTS and NEGOTIATIONS (17 BUGS):

- Too often high rated players from big teams are transferred to mid table teams

- New player signings are 1 year less than agreed – for example two years contract becomes one year contract (in all leagues but most frequent in Norway, Sweden, and China)

- One year extension becomes zero years extension (in all leagues but most frequent in Norway, Sweden, and China)

- The remaining time of the existing contract doesn’t add up to the new contract.

- If players contract is not renewed before last 6 months, he places himself on a transfer list without option to negotiate with him

- Sometimes approved transfers are never completed

- Players that have been sold and awaiting to join their new club still send you messages to look at their current wages

- Post game manager interview - very loud static sound / noise

- Post game manager interview – microphone is shaking

- You could win the quadruple but still get sacked because you "didn't sell enough youth player for x amount of money". I.E Board expectations unrealistic/too strict

- Goal celebrations – sometimes fans are levitating in the air

- Career mode crashing during monthly simulation

- Too often we can see completely worn out pitch – EA should be aware that big clubs would never allow this to happen especially in English Premier League.

- After a simulated match in the Premier League the game shows an aggregate above the final result.

- When simulating a match and you're skipping to the end result, the A.I. sometimes makes 4 or 5 substitutes during the game, whilst you can actually only use 3 substitutes

@PitbullSouljah Thanks.

 

Please if you remember anything else just post it here. It will be difficult for EA to ignore a list of 30+ bugs on their official forum.

These were all reported by numerous people during the beta and still all unfixed and all not even acknowledged except for the first names on youth players shirts apparently being fixed in the first TU.

Trying to get a response from EA is harder than teaching my cat Japanese...

Unless it's a FUT issue, those get answered real quick.

- Regardless of their perfomance, all players that are subbed on receive a poor match rating and go straight to bad form after the game. 

- Match ratings in general seem to be a bit out of whack. It's incredibly hard to get a good or very good rating for defenders and goalkeepers. I've had goalkeepers make 6-7 incredible saves, keep a clean sheet, and come away with a match rating between 6 and 6.5 nonetheless.

- Transfer AI is not good/ unrealistic. For example Greenwood to Wolverhampton, Foden to Juventus in the first winter transfer window (first summer window disabled). --> Big clubs too often sell their biggest talents. High potential players move to clubs that are equal to or worse than their current club (Gravenberch to Roma).

@ricm0nkey 

 

Yeah I know they do not care at all about offline modes.

 

It’s like EA is sabotaging career mode on purpose. How can you explain manager wearing full kit in FIFA 21 or all these new bugs in FIFA 22? You can’t.

 

I don’t think they are aware how many people buy this game just to play career mode. I play FIFA career mode because there is no other football game available and I don't like FM that much.

@r_drcklr 

 

CPU transfers are disaster. I agree with everything you said.

 

- Players transfer to often to direct rival – Barca players to Real, Lazio players to Roma, Saka always end up in Tottenham…

- After few transfer windows you can find CPU teams with 7 RBs and 8 GKs.

 

Also…

- Manchester City and Liverpool tactics do not work. You can counter and destroy them with Championship team on Ultimate difficulty.
