A new bug is terrorizing the EA FC 24 Career mode community and threatens to crash the “whole” game, including all your saves. Here’s what not to do to avoid any problems.

EA FC 24 Career mode gives fans the opportunity to start playing as an incoming football player or jump straight into the dugout as the team Manager. Starting as a Manager in EA FC 24 Career mode allows them to manage their favorite team and lead it to glory, regardless of the league or division it is in.

Managers have the option to create the best team money can buy or scout young talents through the scouting networks. Setting up a scouting network will provide monthly reports on potential hidden gems around the world.

Reddit user ‘rollingSleepyPanda’ received a report about a player that caught his attention, and many EA FC 24 players quickly warned him that it was a bug that could ruin its game.

The OP sarcastically posted, “My youth scouts have just recommended me an assistant referee.” However, the player in question not only was misplaced on the position’s pitch, but his stats also had visible errors all over.

From the overall rating to the attributes in the Summary, even EA FC 24 indicated that this player had a height of 0’0” and no nationality. The OP thought it was just another Career mode error, but other users pointed out a somewhat dark reality.

Many fans were quick to advise the OP to “be careful” with that player and, if possible, not to use or sign him, as this is a bug that will crash the entire save. Despite the community’s prompt response, the warning seems not to have arrived in time, as the OP commented, “that probably explains today’s rollback of the database.”

What started as a hilarious bug ended with the loss of an entire save in EA FC 24 Career mode. If you’re a loyal player of this game mode, now you know it’s best to ignore these types of scouted players, as you could risk losing the entire save.

While awaiting the correction of this Career mode bug, you can check the status of EA FC 24 servers or find out who the best full-backs in the game are.
