Guys. I just finished talking with an EA rep on the online chat. I will copy the conversation here so you can take your own conclusion. Unfortunatelly, it looks like EA doesn't even know about the problem.
Christopher Thanks for contacting EA Help, my name is Christopher. How may I assist you today?
youHi! The Manager Career Mode for all Platforms has a bug. From January 1st it is known we can sign players who are in the last 6 months of their contracts. These players should arrive on July 1st of the next season. However, they are arriving just on January 1st of the next season, one year after we signed them. This is happening not only with the player's team, but with every other CPU teams. I know EA already knows about it because there is a lot of topics about it created by the players on EA’s website. There are videos on youtube about it. There is people complaining on EA’s facebook, twiter etc. This bug was reported before the 1st correction patch, and still EA didn’t fix the problem. There is a lot of players, like me, who buy the game for the Career Mode. EA is passing an awful image not worrying about this Mode’s problems. Looks like EA only cares about the online modes, because it gives money to the company when the players buy the game and, after, when they want more coins to play online. But what about the Career Mode players. We too payed an expensive game to play this Mode, but it makes no sense with this bug. I want to know if EA is working on this problem???
Christopher Hmm I'm not sure off the top of my head if this being worked on, but I will take a look into that issue for you. May I ask who am I speaking with today? Also what is your Origin email or Origin ID or Console gamer tag?
youSure! I'm Rodolfo (from Brazil). My origin e-mail is ******. My console is PS4 and my game tag is ******.
Christopher Nice to meet you Rodolfo checking for the account info now and I'll also check some known issues for FIFA
youYou can see it was created before the 1st correction patch and has a lot of players complaining about it. Also, some of them reported they talked on the phone with EA reps. So I'm pretty sure EA should know about it by now.
Christopher Ok after checking for our known issues for FIFA 18 I didn't find this issue to be an issue that is currently in the works so what I can do is submit this as feedback and I see that you have already done so on the forums. Then hopefully they will pick this issue up.
youIs there some way I can keep updated about the problem solution?
Christopher I did see an issue that was being worked on with Career Mode on 10/9/17, but its not the same issue you're speaking of
Christopher Mostly the only way to keep updated on whats going on with FIFA is to check the forums and keep an eye on the FIFA twitter page.
youOk. Can you tell what problem is this one being worked?
Christopher Yes there is an issue with Career Mode Transfer Market crashing that is currently being worked on
youThe problem I'm talking about is about the transfer market. So hopefully EA could fix the two of them. Anyway, I ask you to give this feedback with some sord of enphasis Cristopher. There is a lot of players who stopped playing the game waiting for this problem's solution.
Christopher Sure thing Rodolfo I'll submit your case and we'll both cross our fingers and hope that this will be fixed soon
youI'll be waiting. Thank you for your attention Christopher!
