I don't play career mode, but that would p me off as well big time. I spend weeks getting rosters and ratings just right before starting a season. Seeing all that undone because of some gung-ho, programming-happy EA dev would kill me.
And not to rub it in, but this sort of thing is precisely why I bought a gaming PC and packed away my console a year ago. I want gaming freedom and choice, something these game devs are taking away from us with every passing year. With the PC versions of these games, many of these issues can be completely fixed with mods and edits, this one included BTW.
