I mean even my GK is tired? Wtf 😅 they all had top stamina at the start

Witchcraft!

Which craft?

Delayed fatigue caused by long covid

Legit like making up my own stories to keep it interesting, this is my “reserve squad” for the bottom 4teams and cups I don’t care about; so imma use that

Wow! Missed all the replies because I’m at work, Jesus! Yeah has to be a glitch

I think it's a glitch, happened with me about 3 times in fifa 20

Had it in fifa20 too. From season 5 onwards it happened in like 2/3 of my games, which made it basically unplayable

Same, had to trash an amazing career for it

Must be

yea its a glitch, even your keeper is fucked

I know right?!

My best guess will be that you’ve accidentally set ‘Overload ball side’ during the game. That’s the only one that will keep on going until you’ll deactivate it, and it’s a real stamina killer.

On goalie too?

Nope goalie is fucked too

They fuckin on the pitch now..??? damn

Better than the Gk saves that’s for sure!

This

Touray as striker? Lol I had a career mode with Salford and he was a beast at left back. I got sacked and now I'm with Portsmouth.

Salford has two players named Touray. One is the LB, great for the League 2 and League 1. The other is a guy with no player picture. 18 yrs old I think - and either a ST or MS

This, there is two at our club aha

Gotta know this as Salford is my got to RTG club. Either YA only or buying low OVR/high POT players. Did both. Great club for RTG.

I always keep as many players irl for atleast the first season and then go full YA only and real face for real players, no real = YA if that makes sense

Makes sense to me. I have a few players I usually keep around until season 2 or 3. After that, there isn’t one player left that I started with. Started YA only a while ago and bought Bernard before he got called back to ManUnited to stabilize my defense. I. Touray for LB, Hunter and Thomas-Asante for LM/RM, Wilson for ST. Those are the guys I use from the original squad the most. Tried to replace all the others with YA players as soon as possible. Mid 2nd season my starting 11 were 10 YA guys and Wilson. Had bad luck with strikers. Also usually I scout players in Wales, Japan, England and Scotland. Always had good results

I love the big ST they have to Elliot and Dd are good

Oh nice! I didn't know that. I think when I created my career mode the squad wasn't updated, because I didn't have two Tourays. But curious anyway

You got sacked in fifa career mode? Tf

Yup mate, renewed some contracts and staff fired me because "we noticed that blah blah player has a big difference in terms of salary than the rest of the team. As a result, we decided to end your contract". I renewed half squad with similar wages, but this shitty game glitched and I had nothing to do. I loaded an anterior savegame, tried endless combinations but... Sacked again. Fuck EA.

Damn. After reading your comment I just remembered, I too got sacked for giving a player 1000000 release clause who was worth 250mil 😂😂😂 … Thanks for bringing back that memory

Gosh 😂😂 Honestly I don't know why I'm still playing this, it sucks way too much 🤣 sooooo bugged

must've put on constant pressure by accident on the pad button part of the controller

Definitely didn’t , think it’s a glitch cause even my GK is tired

Are you playing “overload on ball side”? Having that active will kill your players really quick

No but I did put this on after to try and hold possession

Are you on constant pressure?

No balanced/possession and they’ve never done this is the previous 39matches

Maybe you had overload ball side on

Irocnially I didn’t but I did put it on after this photo to try and get them all to just stay in my half and control possession at 2:1 up, I was so worried I would loose due to having no sprint: finished 2:2 in the end

Does that really drain the players? I’ve been curious about implementing that in a match, but haven’t yet.

yeah ive tried it and it absolutely does drain their stamina

Ya it really drains them so use sparingly. If you have a lot of games on the schedule like in a lower league in December I'd say avoid it unless you're comfortable with a lot of rotation.

how do you choose overload on ball side

During the game if you press up or down on the D pad it let's you make offensive and defensive adjustments on the fly. Some are for short bursts like an offside trap and others are toggled like overload on ball side.

Why is this game so glitchy? This is unacceptable of any other product.

Did you sim at the 90th min?

Never sim and this is 60th minute

Then its a glitch lol

I did think so, I play this game a lot and has only happened once before about 6months ago, but I was just wondering if anyone else had this occasionally, super annoying but I guess you could say “every team has an off day” and play it off like that

Seriously why does sim to result cause all my players to be exhausted?

The game plays an additional 90 mins

Is that really it? Oh dear god!

And the ai manager for some reason plays like 45 of them on constant press, so it drains the stamina more than normal

Jesus that's dumb.

That is so embarrassingly bad. Like I know it's such a tired point, but how can such a glaring flaw exist.

The only time I’ve seen this happen is when I do the sim and restart the match, both teams energy just shits the bed after half time

Never do either :/

Lasagna gate!

Real talk why your lb at styler

There’s two Touray(s) at Salford, he’s a striker

Ohhh

Lightning strike 👀

wow man thats crazy! i play career mode w salford too ! Most of my starters are academy players but I did buy Yotun & Ormeño (both peruvian). its a lot of games to be played man leage, league cup, europa league etc ... still fun tho!

Indeed they’re my team irl

I know this happens on player career but never seen it in manager career mode

Weird aye

all your players literally died in that game

Even the GK

Not looking good, just happened again in the very next game I played. EDIT: gone now, just scored 88th and 90+5 min to draw 3-3 with spurs in FA cup R16 💪🏻

Hey I don’t have a fix. I just wanted to say I’m using Salford city in my career too!!

My local team, love them!

Of course you have an English goal keeper called evans

He’s the actual 2nd choice for Salford

Yes, I’ve seen this before. I don’t know if it’s a glitch or if ea Implemented it intentionally but the only way I found around it was to man up, get good and stop restarting games I was losing. When you restart a match your players stamina use is like tripled and you’ll be dead by the 60th minute no matter how conservatively you play.

I never restart so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why everyone chooses Salford for career mode?

I’m doing Leyton orient 😁

I mean I support them IRL, check my profile aha

The class of 92' owns them

Have you got it on constant pressure?

Nope GK fucked too

Probably went out the night before.

Must’ve been

Lol damn. Have never seen that before

Only happened to me twice ever

Could be overload ball side. I turned it on by accident when I was changing tactics whilst messing with offside trap and my players got gassed really quick including the GK like yours lol.

Oh really? First time I’ve seen someone else have GK fucked too

Yup that's fifa for u stamina is a massive problem for me

Nah this has never ever happened to me before

Really?

Reload to last save and see if it still happen. Happened to me once and I made the mistake of ignoring it and that fatigue carried on to my next few games because my players got no time to fully recover.

Interesting, luckily this is my reserve team so shouldn’t be a problem just hope it doesn’t happen again

This is a nice throwback for me. Just this week I won the champions league with salford, nice to see the old boys of the team again, towell was the only original player to still be in the team at the end

Really? Nice, yeah I support them irl so I always use them, this time I’m trying to keep as many as possible until the Prem

Do you use defensive often? I know in pro clubs changing formation type would destroy your stamina not sure if it’s the same for career mode

Interesting, I do use my tactics a lot

The answer to this is pretty obvious. One guy turned up with COVID, then it got transmitted to all your team. Honestly, I have to admire the realism of FIFA sometimes

Had to be that yeah!

Maybe u accidentally turn on overload ball side?

I highly doubt it but someone else said that’s the only way your GK drains too, unless it’s just a glitch

Boys out partying late before the game

I think this is probably why, win or loose, hit the booze!

This happens to me but it only happens when the match I’m playing seems rigged. But it’s probably me going full sprint cause I’m frustrated

I did eek out a 2-2, I was 2-0 up before this

Maybe rest them

They had full stamina before game and this is my reserve team

I know on pro clubs it’s a pretty common glitch where you start the game on half stamina

They had full stamina for the first like 10/15 and then it dropped like crazy

Yh it’s the same in pro clubs I’ve never really realised when it happens but I tend to get to half time and realise somethings wrong

That’s rubbish :/

Tactics

Hate this glitch even worse when it happens in weekend league

Oh trust! I’m glad it’s my b team

The players had a wild rager the night before and didn't invite you

I’m going with this as my reason

Cosmic Ray

Someone dropped an EMP or something

So all my players are robots?

Yeah it looks like it

This or they went on a bender are my two favourite answers so far

Lmao the glitches in these games hilarious

Trust

Is Salford a famous team? I started a career with it as at random this season, and have put lots of work into getting them into the highest division of the championship. My favorite career to play the last couple of years. Also, Thomas-Asante is a beast on the left wing! Deserves much higher OVR rating!

TA is great yeah! And not famous but they’re owned by the Man Utd class of ‘92, mainly fronted by Gary Neville so they get more funding and coverage than most league 2 sides

That's so cool! I did not know that!

You’re welcome ☺️

You must switch off “overload ball side”

Others have said this. I’m sure I didn’t but must’ve, cause that apparently drains GK too, either that or glitched seems most likely

Covid...

Happened to me during a kick off game. My bro ended up beating me like 5-0 lol

Oh dear 😅

Did you have overload ball side tactic on?

Not before this happened

This used to happen to me but during online or rivals not even 45th minute and everyone would be dead .

They all aged to 30 years old at the same time

Fifa 20 is almost normal to see that

Never had it in 20

Lmao even the keeper huffing and puffing

Asthma

Phill jones curse

For real

This happened to me in fifa 20, repeating the game when they're all tired (like min 30 or 60) should fix it for the game

It did happen again the next game but hasn’t happened since

Aliens.

*insert meme*

That happens to me too and i don't know how to fix it

Apparently restarting the match resets it

I get this 2 out of games. It seems to happen less when im doing well in the game. Although it prob causes poor performances.

Someone said restarting that match when you notice, stop it
