Common Fixes for Mini Seasons Errors1. Restart the Season

This is the most consistent way to clear server exceptions and “invalid roster” glitches.

How to do it:

• On the Mini Seasons selection screen, hover over the problem mode.
• Hold Square (PlayStation) or X (Xbox) to manually reset the season.
• Confirm the restart and try again.
  

Tip: This usually clears the error, but you will lose progress in the current season.

2. Fix “Not Enough Eligible Players”

Sometimes the game won’t let you start a season because it thinks your squad is invalid.

Quick fix:

• Go to View and Edit Roster in that Mini Season.
• Open Squad Options and select Generate Best Squad.
• This auto-fills your team with eligible players.
  

3. Squad Initialization

If your lineup isn’t recognized, do this before entering Mini Seasons:

• Set your lineup on the My Squad main screen first.
• Enter Mini Seasons and start the season without viewing the roster until you see the schedule.
  

4. “Quick Tap” Method

Some menu glitches can block entry into Mini Seasons.

• Tap the start button rapidly or back out to the main menu and re-enter the mode a few times.
• This can help the game recognize the mode properly.
