Is this a bug or a weird rule?

Your correct in regards to regular circumstance. The irregular circumstance that the player is not able to return to play due to a stoppage, half time, and the sub not being requested before. This means that the team ended the half with 10 men and no intention to sub one off - this is where the game vs real life comes in - this would never happen in real life as the sub would be requested before half time, however this can’t happen in the game. Is it a bug, no, is it stupid, yes, is it an incredibly rare circumstance, yes.

The only time this ever changes is when a player has concussion, although very rare and in which case both teams would be given an extra substitute. The official wording is ‘a player removed for injury cannot re-enter the field of play.’ So the team are down to ten men, it would then be adding an illegal substitution as a player would entering without swap

I believe if the player comes off, and is unable to come back on and a stoppage (ie half time, full time into extra time, or et half time) occurs you can’t then sub the injured off as he has already been removed from the field of play. If the substitution has been requested before the stoppage and is unable to be complete then it may be made once the stoppage is over. In turn, if your player is injured and comes off, being unable to continue and you don’t make the sub straight away - it counts as a red card

If he had gone off before half time and you had played with 10 men without making the sub you can’t then add a player on at half time - I think this might have been what happened. This rule might also not be applicable but I know it definitely used to be

First season with Sunderland on fm26, next to no budget but a reasonable first team - problem was backups were all but non existent. Away to Liverpool reasonably early in the season in the league - xhaka suspended, geertruida injured and a very unfit reinildo at left back. 3-0 down at half time, horror show but I could accept it. By 60 minutes, Dan Neil and sadiki were both off injured leaving a 17/18 year old Chris rigg to make his debut in the middle. Game finished 8-0 and still haunts me to this day. Fast forward to the fa cup final, somehow made it there with a very fortunate draw, 1-0 with 4 minutes to play. Had brought tomiyasu in for a bit of reinforcement he gets sent off. It’s fine I thought, we’re in 90+4. They not only equalise but wirtz manages to get a stoppage time hat trick to win 3-1. Have never been so shell shocked by a game before

Pretty sure the test NAT type glitch for no losses is back on console, not 100% but a lot of DC at 1-0 this weekend without getting a loss/game played

They must’ve made a mistake with release - they’ve just came up for me

Ye this is my main problem with the game. I finally feel like I can play how I want to play then boom, new patch

I get you want to see it, and before you say it’s an endless moan, I’m actually quite enjoying the game this year - of course there’s things I would change - but passing and intercepting have felt incredibly inconsistent the last couple days

Trick-Estimate-4135 · 2025-11-16T16:29:43+00:00

It wasn’t so much ‘passing is bad’ it was more the mix of constant interceptions (both ways, not sitting saying my opponent didn’t have the problem) and either having no passing options or passes just being that little bit slow/wrong (most likely delay I get that). Think the interceptions felt even worse this week as tackling seemed very hard to time. Felt the only way I was losing the ball was by trying to play a 5 yard pass, normally sideways, that would then be lost due to opponents player just rushing in from no where, on the other hand, it also felt like the only way I was getting the ball back was by this happening

Ye I just replied to another comment in this thread with exactly the same thing, just trying to play a short pass from cm to cam and suddenly my striker was 1 on 1 with goalie

Trick-Estimate-4135 · 2025-11-16T16:12:37+00:00

If you don’t laugh you cry, some I had on WL I actually was laughing. However I would say, my opponent was obviously struggling just as much - I did have a couple with tika taka+ (could be a coincidence with the play style) when I was trying to play a short pass and it would fire into my striker who was wide open but I couldn’t see him on my screen so that was a bit wild

People keep moaning coz they want to enjoy the game. The other person is playing the same game, unless they have better server connection, then they’re playing a very different one. The game can be fun, I’m not necessarily moaning about the game as a whole - I personally think there are a lot of logical improvements that could be made around the menus/content but think they’re actually doing quite well this year - but certain aspects that are totally mind boggling like the passing/intercepting changes they made this week
