Hi everyone, can't believe it's been almost a year since I last posted! Hope everyone's been well.

I hope I'm not the only one with this problem, though I can't see any other threads about this so yeah. I've loved every aspect of the game, until I started manager mode.

I started a career with Chelsea which was fine, until I got to the end of the first season. I re-signed, scheduled next season's preseason matches - then as FIFA was scheduling the new season's fixtures, it crashed. It was at about 80 or so percent, at the 'scouting' stage. I wasn't sure what the problem was, but I tried deleting two custom-made clubs I had made which did exist in the career mode - I had to start a new career, but the problem seemed to be gone as I was able to get to the second season this time.

However, at the end of the second season, the problem struck again. And now, I'm really dumbfounded as to why. Again it crashes at the 'scouting' stage - I have done some scouting, but I don't see why it should crash... I also want to reiterate that my copy of FIFA is legitimate and a completely clean install with all the official patches, and no third-party add-ons.

It's frustrating for it to crash now after two full seasons, I tried sending the file to someone else and it crashed for them too. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hi, How many players are on your squad? There is a common bug in the last few fifa games when playing in manager mode. Crashes usually occur when you have a squad with 30+ players and you are scheduling a new season, or if you are about to play a team with 30+ players. I usually keep my squad to about 25 players, but I have seen this crash when Arsenal (CPU Controlled) had 32 players.

with modification the career.ini, you will be able to have a maximum amount of players in your squad. 25 players will be ok. Also, avoid to use the scouting in order to have no crashes
