On 16 July 2026, we reverted the requirements for the Career Mode Stats Grade missions so that they reference your end-of-season Team Stats Grade and updated the mission descriptions accordingly.

If you did not complete the affected missions before the fix, you will need to fulfil the requirements in Career Mode.

Thank you for your playing SEGA FOOTBALL CLUB CHAMPIONS.

We have received numerous reports that users are unable to complete 'Build a Squad with a Grade of A+ or higher in Career Mode' and other similar missions.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and confusion this has caused.

Background

After receiving many reports, we discovered a discrepancy between the mission requirements in-game and the actual mission criteria.
Although the mission should have been based on your Squad's Stats Grade at the time of registration like it says in-game, the actual determining factor was your Team Stats Grade at the end of a Career Mode season.

On 2 July 2026 we updated the actual mission criteria to check for your Squad's Stats Grade when registered, matching the in-game description.

It is important to note that your Squad's Stats Grade differs from your Team Stats Grade at the end of a season.
The Career Mode Team Stats calculation references up to 30 players, including the starting lineup, substitutes, and reserves, while Squad Stats are based on only the starting lineup and substitutes, with a maximum of 23 players.
*Corrected the maximum player counts. (Added 7 July, 11:00 GMT)

Just before the end of a season, you can view your Career Mode Team Stats, but you must register a Squad to see the Squad Stats.
In matching the actual mission criteria with the in-game description, it also made the mission requirements more convoluted and harder to track, which has resulted in the influx of inquiries we've received from all of you.

Next Steps

After careful consideration, the development team has decided that making the game as easy to understand as possible for everyone is our main priority. As such, we have reverted the mission criteria to reference your Team Stats Grade at the end of the Career Mode season, like it did before the update.
We will update the in-game mission description accordingly.

Anyone who already completed the missions will not lose their completion status.

Compensation

All users will receive compensation for this issue at a later date.
We will provide another update once the details and schedule have been finalised.

Once again, we sincerely apologise for all the trouble this has caused.
We will continue to improve our testing and review processes to prevent similar issues from happening again.

We hope you continue to support SEGA FOOTBALL CLUB CHAMPIONS.
