Game-breaking bug: Player positions completely scramble after making a sub. Anyone else getting this?
Hey everyone,
I started a new save recently and keep running into this incredibly frustrating bug. As soon as I make a substitution during a match, the player positions in the match UI completely desync from my actual tactics screen. The players on the pitch are correct, but their assigned positions are totally scrambled.
If you look at the attached screenshots, you can see the desync between my Tactics screen and the Match widget.
Pedri is set as a CM in my tactics, but the match UI throws him out wide to AML. Raphinha is set as my AML, but gets pulled centrally to CM. De Jong and Cubarsí also get completely shuffled around into the wrong roles. Everything works perfectly fine from kickoff. This only happens immediately after I make a substitution.
If I try to manually drag and drop the players to rearrange them back to normal, it actually makes it worse and starts messing up the squad view too (which is why Cubarsí is stuck showing as a DM in my first screenshot). It gets so tangled that I just end up quitting the match.
This isn't a one-off; it’s happening in almost all of my games now. Has anyone else experienced this desync? Are there any known workarounds to stop the engine from doing this?
