10 Things I Hate About FIFA 17 Career Mode

Here I'll be taking a look at 10 things that I hate about FIFA 17 career mode, such as the fact that signing Messi for Real Madrid in FIFA 17 is entirely possible, yet Cristiano Ronaldo refuses Barcelona no matter how much money you try and offer him.
FIFA 17 problems are fairly commonplace and there are certainly plenty of times when FIFA 17 fails... Despite all the negatives though, I do still find the game a lot of fun to play and very much enjoy sharing FIFA 17 career mode videos on this channel when I can do so.
Don't forget to check out Cutzy's video on his extreme difficulty setting sliders for FIFA 17 Career Mode: • Video

[@kareemqassim162]

Something I hate: Most times when I simulate matches, there's atleast one injury or red card

[@keeblefamily8327]

kareem qassim Ahhhh same once I had 3 injuries and 2 red cards in one Match!

[@kareemqassim162]

Keeble Family you poor soul 😨

[@keeblefamily8327]

kareem qassim I know 😢😱

[@itfczac]

That is SO ANNOYING!!!!

[@keeblefamily8327]

Mr. SirCatStiks It was the worst thing ever

[@SethMtv]

The press conferences should actually mean something. Changing player morale and how a team plays against you.

[@Nuhuhuhuhu]

That's a cute name you got there, i like how you even must succumb to the fact that Arsenal is not gonna make it trough round of 16, because they are gonna get anally raped by Bayern

[@Fifa2001Gamer]

although its true, there no need for that...

[@Nuhuhuhuhu]

FifaGamer - FIFA 18 and Fifa World Content! Fifa 18? Isn't THAT a little early?

[@SuperCabrito14]

dude... I swear every time I "unnerve" a rival team's player, that player ends up scoring on me... almost every single time. but if I praise my rivals or one of their players then they play like shit

[@hadiabdul9266]

try unnerving their goalkeeper

[@thenotoriousdig610]

EA's response to this video: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, just shut up and give us money for FIFA Points, you know you want that special Christmas ultimate team pack.

[@treshtalk88]

Fuck that, I stopped playing Ultimate Team in this FIFA

[@Matt-io8cx]

Rashford being homesick in London since he's from Manchester. *moves to Spain*

[@RichLeigh]

Sounds about right!

[@patriciamabunu7468]

Rich Leigh kill it with fire 😂😂😂😂😂 I acc laughed so much

[@marius233]

Yes making me mad

[@AJARyan-yn2uv]

About the board thing: it's also stupid when you've just won the Premier League with Hull and your manager rating is about 70 because you didn't manage the transfers well, even if you make millions in profits.

[@hschsc1300]

Just the Prem? I won the domestic treble with Hull in season 1. I'm not even that good!

[@cristianoronaldokfclover7064]

AJA Ryan1994 Solution: Use player customizatiom and make your players -10 rated. Your expectations will drastically go down.

[@atlBG13]

Injuries are waaay too frequent. I get about 2-4 major injuries a season

[@youngslime8506]

BGGamer1128 on your game settings lower the injury frequency bar.

[@smiley4483]

BGGamer1128 dude for me in 3 matches i got 4 injuries

[@alaweyvc8729]

BGGamer1128 go to settings put injures to 0 your welcome

[@bjehulk]

If you are Arsenal or Bayern then that would be pretty realistic

[@ashwinmoorthy6244]

are you playing as arsenal because if so, all is well

[@HenSt-gz7qj]

Agreed with all of it :v if I may add : 11. Scouts & Youth Academy Wish they add more to this, because it's been the same since the first time it is applied. I want them to add random youth playing into the academy as in reality, there will be children signing up into football academy without being scouted. The scouts also didn't change, since we can only signed 3 scouts for youth and 6 for scouting existing players... I think the scouts for youth aren't needed. We can just sent the normal scout and they have a chance to find young talent to sign into academy... 12. Wage and Contract as manager This has been useless since the beginning. I wish EA would add something that made our contract and wage as manager has a meaning. Maybe for our personal luxury, or maybe to use it for donation to boost our manager rating, or anything like that? As well as expiry date for your contract... Same with player career mode. I wish that our player's wage could be used to buy maybe shoes, luxuries, haircuts, etc... as well as (again) contract expiration so we could (maybe) move to the club that we want for free. 13. Player Career Mode Again, same problems with the other points. With the addition of "The Journey" I was hoping they add it too to player career mode. Like, starting off by choosing which academy we want to join... then based on that, and our performances, we would get different contract offer from clubs. For example, if we choose Blaugrana (Barcelona Academy), we'd most likely get offer from Barcelona B or even straight from Barcelona depends on our performance... but we could also attract other offer from Laliga 123 or Santander teams... or even from Portugal... perhaps our player's nationality could also affect the outcome. Also, press interview like in the journey perhaps... I think the journey itself is what a player career mode supposed to be like, but with more freedom (no fixed route/story but multiple choices or probabilities)

[@panborysek5264]

Rx93NuGundam i think EA should add more national teams and leauges like greek, ukrainan,and more

[@HenSt-gz7qj]

^ maybe they got problem with the license or something ? like how they didn't get the "Camp Nou" for FIFA 17. :/ also... maybe because those leagues aren't popular :(

[@panborysek5264]

Rx93NuGundam irish or polish leagues are popular? They dont need license for do that leagues (they can change logo ) .If they do that champions league and europe leagues will be more interesting and realistic,also international matches could be more interesting

[@aa3]

This happened to me Suarez: The weather is different blah blah blah blah...., I'm homesick Me: m8 your country's league isn't even in the game.

[@uncle8194]

aa3 lol probably need Spanish speaking team

[@Josh-ms9qc]

My big issue is youth objectives, I'm not putting some sixty something next to griezmann and bale for half of my seasons matches!

[@HaroldFGang]

Then sign a youth CDM or defender?

[@treshtalk88]

Josh Reid Agreed

[@yahirparedes7716]

Josh Reid i got a ST 83 of 20 years old

[@manuelmejia9234]

so that league must have only 5 star team if u dont wanns play a 60+ youth player ......... thats the fun of youth players

[@markdavid9329]

So true.

[@rachelcarson7809]

the board making you sell players is fucking cancer

[@MrAiroDynamic]

David Alaba just loan them out for 3 months and recall them

[@SuperCabrito14]

Sometimes they'll sell them without your consent... that pisses me off tremendously. Already happened with Sturaro and Milik in my Villarreal career this year

[@geniuswork1245]

David Alaba they made me fucking sell my 91 Dybala 😭

[@ubermontity399]

And they sell them for so much less than there value

[@SuperCabrito14]

A few seasons ago I had to sell Rashford to Munich because he just couldn't be there anymore and he wanted a new challenge or some stupid shit. I actually got a good deal out of it, but then at his first press conference as a Munich player he said he didn't want to leave my club and was sad to go, but the coach has to make those decisions in football. I flipped my shit real hard that time.

[@jackrf1446]

I had a youth player who's photo is a giant David Luiz Afro and in game he is bald

[@RichLeigh]

Haha. Sounds about right!

[@ryanmooney1524]

Jack Jack I've had a white player be black in game 😂😂

[@jackrf1446]

Hoedawg I had a black player and in game he's mixed race

[@ryanmooney1524]

Jack Jack 😂😂

[@arsenalgooner401]

I once got a bald white but in game its a massive afro and black

[@yup9951]

Manchester United is bullshit in Career mode. They literally will sign Griezmann, Suarez, Neuer and such. Those things won't happen in real life at all. Manchester United managed to bought them even though it will not happen in real life and they did it without selling players.

[@ldsilva1009]

Peter Jacques they buy like 5 world class strikers.

[@nathanblack4676]

Peter Jacques yeah In one of my career modes they had ibrah rashford muller Kane lukaku suarez griezman lazazette and be Zelma by january in the second season

[@amirulhakimi7833]

Peter Jacques Everytime I plays in the career mode, arsenal always buys benzema or aubameyang, everytime

[@itsrudereadingmyname7689]

Peter Jacques its more bs considering you cant do that with their budget

[@Toyin2K]

Peter Jacques they wouldn't even be able to afford them to because All those players cost more than 100 million they don't have that much money but knowing fifa any bullshit is possible

[@stephendenis3855]

They should add something new about the Press Days, it's been the same since Fifa 14

[@TomoCooking]

Denis they are lazy, they dgaf bout u

[@robertmugabe516]

Pique not liking the weather in Spain? Moves to Arsenal... LONDON! This actually happened

[@RichLeigh]

Haha. Nothing really surprises me at this point...

[@barryaherne215]

I played as Newcastle for a challenge, got them promoted, signed Depay (on the wing) and Belotti (as a lone striker) and won the league. I was training Depay and improving his shooting, with the aim of moving him from LM to an attacking winger/second striker - essentially pushing him further up the pitch. One problem is that the game doesn't allow you to change a player's position, as you can in UT (or as far as I know I think you can/could in the past), but I haven't played it in a long time. The next problem was that I had a plan, I had spent all season plotting my summer transfer window to attack Europe the following season (+ squad depth for the extra games), with Depay and Belotti up front and a free transfer in the form of Deulofeu on the left coming in to "replace" Depay. I had it all mapped out, determined to use all my summer funds to spend on my defence and what does the game do? Tells me to sign a top class striker. It messed everything up. I couldn't play Depay up front, the Deulofeu transfer was now pointless, it destroyed any plans to build a new defence because I had to spend money on a new striker, and I had to change my formation to play him (I know I didn't have to play him, but if I have to spend a shedload of cash on a striker I might as well play him). I think I ended up selling Belotti (who I didn't want to sell) to buy a replacement to keep the formation and my plans as best as possible, but it still wasn't fun - it ruined my career mode. I understand the game is trying to be dynamic, but it really didn't need to be. It got in the way of my control and I ended up starting again with a different team.

[@RichLeigh]

You should have just ignored their suggestion and carried on with your original plan, mate. That's what I'd have done anyway! Regarding players not being able to learn new positions though; yeah, that's something that I'd love to see introduced to the game as well!

[@barryaherne215]

Rich Leigh - Yeah, in retrospect I should've ignored it but because it was only my first week or two with the game and it was marked Critical for Brand Exposure (the only Critical that season), I thought I had to do it, and it ruined everything.

[@RichLeigh]

Yeah, that's understandable. It's a shame that it ruined your enjoyment of that save though. Who are you playing as now?

[@barryaherne215]

+Rich Leigh- I'm playing as Schalke at the moment, in my second season. The first one was quite tough. Schalke sold/lost some decent players in the last few seasons, like Draxler, Sane, Barnetta, Farfan, Matip etc. I rebuilt quite well. They have Geis and Goretzka in MF - young w/ loads of potential and Embolo, who's 20, up top. I knew Meyer would be decent, but he's been the centrepiece in my team. So much fun to have in the team. Bought Andre Silva from Porto for pennies and I've propelled myself into the stratosphere, winning the title. It went to the wire with Bayern, who are now languishing midtable in 2017, so no challenge anymore -_- The only problem is that they rely a lot of recruiting of youth, so I always fail in that context - I've never been the one to care much for youth. When I get to a stage where the current generation of players are pushing on and retiring, usually around the 5th year of any season in any FIFA, I give up and start again with a different team. There isn't enough variety to keep me going longer than 5 seasons. It has longevity in the 15, but no substance - like you said, how can like a player who is 88 rated with no face? Kills it for me.

[@AdamSmith-rj3yc]

Barry Aherne I know what you mean, I got promoted with Leeds and Pontus Janssons loan had ended. My plans were to bring him in but the board spoiled it, telling me I needed a striker despite having a prolific striker already

[@zr0w3n-16]

Number 4 I totally agree with, I feel like FIFA 16 was good on stat loss, but this year is terrible

[@HenSt-gz7qj]

also stat increase... its so easy to increase stats in FIFA 17 making it very boring. :/ Karius goes from 82 to 87 rating in 1 season... and stopped growing after that... -_- I had Welbeck in FIFA 15 grow to 92 rating because I keep on giving him playing time... and he's still 29 years old at that moment.

[@masromer]

ikr, Fifa made Ribéry so much worse than fifa 16

[@tarekk19]

Teh MLG Mariusz but much much much cheaper😎

[@robbyatwood7734]

Gamer Zeke yeah I know 16 was great. If an older player was playing well he would stay the same rating or even get better kind of like how players can go through a couple years of poor form then get back to playing like their old selves, for example Torres with Atletico. I remember I got Kaka up to like an 84 in FIFA 16. Now I can average 2 goals per game with Ronaldo and he still drops 30 pace and 4 ratings.

[@Anderslaw]

I hate stat loss so much, and it just doesn't make any sense. One of my fondest memories was my Fulham career mode on Fifa 13, I proved everyone wrong by using 37 year old Giorgos Karagounis in my Starting XI. He was top assister in the BPL with 13 assists, and yet he still decreased from 75 overall to 67 and retired at the end of the season. I know he was 37, but surely the top assister in one of the best leagues in the world wouldn't decrease so much and probably wouldn't retire if he just had the best season of his career.

[@qayyuma9622]

You could have a scottish player in the Scottish Prem and they would move to fucking Brazil or something, that is how fucked up the homesickness is

[@elvinsalcinovic6369]

the league table is a joke. Teams like man city and liverpool wont even finish top 10 while teams like Stoke and Hull finish top 5.

[@nickicollis4606]

I know that's stupid as fuck.😂

[@RichLeigh]

Yeah... One time when I was simming forward; Manchester United got relegated even though they still had a really solid team. And despite the fact they were now in the Championship? The likes of Pogba and De Gea still continued to play for them...

[@elvinsalcinovic6369]

Rich Leigh I know thats ridiculous, and I'm not sure if it's only me but when I played my Chelsea career mode and when I come up against teams like Man U, Pogba and Zlatan will always be on the bench

[@hydra4251]

Yep Man City finished like 11th in my career mode and Crystal Palace got top 4 ffs

[@MIGU3L2K]

Elvin Salcinovic Swansea is 3rd in my table, and Stoke is second (but it's because that was my starting team until I managed a different team, Stoke has crazy players, lol)

[@taufan444]

[@flimpeenflarmpoon1353]

Play pes then

[@tiltonhopkins2775]

U smoke weed m8? I'm in my 5th season with Leipzig and Utd had dybala, lukaku, Kane and muller like wtaf

[@SuperCabrito14]

[@shootahmaccg7139]

I See What You Did There and juventus wont stop signing quality cb even though they have a lot of good ones, its annoying

[@robbyatwood7734]

God older players declining really fast is so annoying. Like Ronaldo dropped 30 pace and 4 ratings in 2 seasons for me. It's ridiculous especially since I was averaging 2 goals per game with him.

[@MasterAppels]

It's bad, FFS. Whenever someone gets to 29 you should sell them ASAP. This issue has been so bad for ages. I remember in FIFA 08 Giggs' deterioration was very drastic, even though he played great in real life. Not to mention the keepers. Whenever a goalie got to about 32 they would go downhill on older FIFA's.

[@vaporterra]

It hasn't always been bad. In my save on FIFA 15 with Inter and Portugal some of my highly rated old players didn't decline rapidly and were giving me plenty of good performances 3-4+ seasons in (as far as I got), namely Samir Handanovic, Hernanes, and Cristiano Ronaldo (averaged a goal a game in the World Cup which I won)

[@AD-hf1hp]

Robby Atwood lol after 5 years i transfered to zenit as a manager and hulks pace was something like 52 and his acceleration was like 54

[@SuicidalButDeadly191]

I have to agree on number 5. I bought Gareth McAuley for my Huddersfield Town career mode. Yes, he's old, but I thought he'd have a good few years left in him. After finishing my first season with him, because of his age, he gets downgraded to a 61 rated player!! From 76 to 61 within one season is ridiculous. EA need to fix this in Fifa 18.

[@SuicidalButDeadly191]

Nice video btw, I agree with the majority.

[@williamdavies6254]

[@lp11edits95]

What about player mode where you can't start as a sub wich is really annoying.

[@The_Dead_Zone]

EA Sport's do not care and your top 10 i completely agree ,also scripting is still in game very disappointing .

[@vaporterra]

Scripting to some extent is hard if not impossible to complete get rid of. It is something I wish they would work on though, at least make Alaba alternate between Juventus and Real Madrid every other save lol

[@The_Dead_Zone]

vaporterra I play PES and Fifa offline and hardly notice scripting in PES in master league yet Fifa career mode is full of the scripted garbage unfortunately . EA Sports won't get rid of scripting it's designed to help poor Fifa players win matches in order to make them feel great and buy Fifa packs ,EA Sports have implemented scripting since Fifa 12 it even says in the manual which EA Sports deny lol .

[@vaporterra]

Craig Barlow Ok I've never played PES before so i didn't know that. Looks like PES is closer to FIFA than people seem to think since most people tend to prefer FIFA

[@The_Dead_Zone]

vaporterra It's online where Fifa sells UT is better than PES online .

[@vaporterra]

Craig Barlow I agree UT is really fun, I wish i had more money to spend on packs but if i did I'd get too addicted lol. Career Mode isn't bad though, but it has several flaws that you and this guy mentioned and maybe someday EA will take the time to iron those out but it's probably not their top priority.

[@lockbresnar3424]

The one I hate the most is the deterioration one. On my FIFA 16 careers Messi could be 36-37 and still rated 92-93. Now it's just stupid

[@lockbresnar3424]

And the homesickness one pisses me off. Rooney was "homesick" so he goes to PSG...

[@KIPMUS]

Lock Bresnar Rooney's from Liverpool omg...

[@lockbresnar3424]

Kipster Exactly

[@hschsc1300]

I mean there should be some deterioration, but not as much as they did. Players should be coming more central as they get older and some would remain in the 80s until they retire. Like Paul Scholes and Milla.

[@osmoilmonen6871]

Messi is now 35 and next year mabye 92

[@jpmisterioman]

This is reason for why I didn't bought Fifa 17 and still plays fifa 16 career mode. Honestly, Fifa 17 career mode is probably the worst ever.

[@amigomemela1099]

nah mate fifa 17 has much better gameplay. If you just put up with the equal shittiness of the career mode its much better.

[@itfczac]

HideCircuit even though there are some really annoying things in Fifa 17 career mode it is still a lot better then Fifa 16 all together.

[@CactusBravo42]

#8 is so true. Manchester United signed Lukaku, Griezmann, and Aubameyang in one season however the rest of their team was mediocre.

[@roshanabbass2708]

Sean Delaney they also sign suarez lacazette to in the same season!

[@zsoltszabo22]

Sean Delaney for me they signed griezmann lewandowski harry kane and lukaku while having me being 86 rated and ibra being 88

[@cvtvlin1450]

Sean Delaney And Aguero and freking Suarez ( in my Mci and Fcb careers happened )

[@jmt-ri6ed]

The problem with the cpu is it is incredibly hard and annoying some times just getting the ball off the bastardised dribbling that happens, but you can easily run straight through the defence and score - and win

[@RichLeigh]

That's very true... They can be very good at retaining possession at times, but generally absolutely horrendous at defending.

[@noahguinn9951]

it's nice to know that I'm not the only one who thinks professional is better legendary

[@treshtalk88]

Yusri Handoko Same

[@kquals]

I have found it tremendously difficult to defend in FIFA 17 because my CDMs love to push up, leaving a massive gap between my defense and midfield, allowing for any decent striker or CAM to run rings around my defense. The only way I can influence this is by switching to my CDM, but then my other CMs go on walkabouts and then I am exposed where they're supposed to be. In short, I have found winning very difficult, just as you have.

[@MolloyDadda247Luke]

you can make it so they stay back while attacking

[@fiddyd5216]

A multiplayer career mode would be great as well, so you and your mates can each have a team and start a career mode

It would take long but if they do it will probably be better than UT

[@dyb427]

My Donnarruma is only 19 and already better than Neuer lol

[@RichLeigh]

Goalkeeper training OP!

[@dyb427]

Rich Leigh I'm only using one slot for donnarruma in training....19 years of age and 87 rated..like wtf....imagine if i used all 5 slots in training on him

[@dyb427]

Rich Leigh I also hate how in career mode the CPU bench the best players like wtf....i faced man city with De Bruyne, aguero, gundogan, sterling, and fernandinho in the bench...same with Man U they play Carrick over Pogba lol....one time Moses was played over Hazard like this needs to get fixed lol.....EA!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RichLeigh]

Yeah... I think the players with the highest stamina get selected rather than the best players which can therefore result in some rather interesting selection choices!

[@retrodull8796]

I hate the top scorers! In real life the top scorers in the big european leagues are Cr7, messi, suarez, lewa, Agüero etc. But in fifa17 they score almost never. When you look at the top scorer of ucl its always players that wont ever get so much goals

[@dancemechanic1708]

Beverly Felton Yeah mehn, this is also a bummer too. EA can't program shit .

[@alaweyvc8729]

Beverly Felton i always score with my dybala i even scored a hatrick in the euro champion ship against Barcelona

[@juhosten3463]

I hate the injury system. I had five starting 11 players who got the 3 month lasting broken ankle injury in a couple of weeks. I mean the player went off holding his shoulder and I could already guess it was the ankle and he was going to be injured for 3 months. A bit scripted

[@RichLeigh]

So annoying when you get an influx of injuries like that!

[@fernandoueno8668]

in 2 matches on my Torino career mode 2 fucking midfielders got injuried in 2 matches, and i had to recall a 68 rated midfielder to replace them

[@juhosten3463]

fernando ueno Exactly. I was doing career mode with Wimbledon and I was at the championship with 5 players over 70. They all git injured but all the damn 55 rated ones never got even a bruise. Champion

[@baller84milw]

I had to spend $125 million in my first year at Man Utd to get Griezmann to transfer. And then I already have Ibrahimovic declining to 89 even though he's the top scorer in the league and scores twice every match.

[@magnussorensen3320]

I signed a player from my youth academy who was black with dark hair, but in-game he was white and blonde wtf

[@dillonoconnor4358]

Magnus Sorensen lol

[@karmadelivery4407]

Magnus Sorensen oh I guess he's transracial

[@Savage-te5zs]

He was a feminist who also supported black lives matter

[@eriklight5321]

Ido a liverpool carreer mode and Manchester utd signed griezmann and lewandowski but they got IBRA?!?

[@leon-gm8hn]

FRENK In my Arsenal carreer mode man united have signet Kane, Lewandowski and lukaku in just 2seasons....

[@m.2512]

FRENK In my Brentford one they've signed Griezman, lukaku, Kane and dybala ffs

[@tanveerhannan3585]

FRENK my career mode is legit fucked, i played as Liverpool and skipped to the end of the season, 1.Hull City 2.Stoke 3.West Brom 4.Liverpool 5. Chelsea 6.Everton. 20. Manchester United (despite signing aguero, pique and fabregas) 19.Tottenham 18. Leicester 17. Manchester City

[@fernandoueno8668]

FRENK on career mode Manchester United always buys literally every top striker!!

[@connorscanlan1463]

Askey Playz aguero ?

[@TheIshmael98]

Completely agree with your list. One thing that annoys me is the injury system: I literally bought a new GK, and then the next match, played him, then was injured for 5 months!! Very frustrating!! Even been times when you take a shot with a player, then another animation will show the player injured!! So unrealistic man.

[@treshtalk88]

Animedragon It happened to me twice in the same career mode were players that i've bought have been injured on tgeir debut

[@TheIshmael98]

Tresh Talk ikr? It's ridiculous!!

[@owieterrens1449]

there is also a ridiculous amount of broken ankles, if a player goes down with a leg injury I instantly know that he will be out for 3 months

[@rikupv]

I completely agree on the physical part, I know over 30 yrs old is "old" for football, but losing all of mobility is f'ing bull****. It's not like he's 70 or something

[@botulum]

About homesickness. When i was playing fifa 14 as Toronto FC, Jonathan Osorio said he feels homesick, which was total bullshit because he was born in Toronto, he plays in FC Toronto for almost his entire career. So to feel less homesick, he moved to France (i believe it was Lille) very logical move.

[@amigomemela1099]

If they fixed the degradation, move it to like 33-34 then it would be fine. But not be too over the top like in FIFA 16 where you would have a 88 rated player at 38 yoa.

[@RichLeigh]

Yeah... That was too far the other way for sure. You had 32/33 year old players still getting better sometimes in FIFA 16!

[@kancfm]

They took out the option to ask the board for more money... WTF why? It was so helpful when no one would buy my players but i needed that extra 1 or 2 mil from the board!!

About number 8, in my career mode Bayern München signed kagawa, strootman, nainggolan and dembele in the same transfer window without selling any midfielders

[@harrisonbaker199]

mestavenga because Bayern don't have many midfielders

[@mestavenga]

Harrison Baker vidal, thiago, sanches, Alonso, kimmich, and then adding four more?

[@harrisonbaker199]

mestavenga Alonso is old and will decline easy. Sanchez and kimmich are not yet YET good enough for the bundes leaving you with only the two world class Football. adding 4more who are all 80+ rated means you will have good rotation. with man united they already have rooney, martial, IBRA and rashford. adding 3 more 86 odd rated players is too much. its different with midfielder as they cover more of the pitch.

[@brandonstott1711]

mestavenga in my Arsenal career mode... Man city had sagna and zabelta in RB and in January they signed aurier, Coleman and Joao Cancelo all in RB positions! Then tried to buy bellerin off me

I want them to get rid of training because you don't just get better every time you train it should just be removed

[@dlwlrma177]

The AI managers in career mode do some really crazy business sometimes; for my career mode, it was Manchester United signing an excessive number of strikers. I checked their squad and this is their list of strikers: Paulo Dybala (92) Mauro Icardi (87) Antoine Griezmann (90) Luis Suarez (88) Karim Benzema (86) Arkadiusz Milik (86) Borja Baston (85) Anthony Martial (88) And don't get me started on homesick players who end up joining your rivals and you get like €30,000,000 for a player worth at least twice that amount because the board thinks they're good at transfers. Then you have players who ask for a pay raise, you give them the amount according to their demands, then they refuse and claim that they're underpaid. Bruh.

[@danielsinaga6996]

[@Liftinglinguist]

In my second career mode, Man U had Zlatan, Lewandowski, Kane, Dybala, Suarez and Rashford at the same time. How any of them got anywhere near the play time they would whine about in my team is beyond me. Ridiculous stuff.

[@RichLeigh]

Yeah... Happens a lot mate, it seems! Teams love stockpiling multiple players of the same position for some reason!

[@SuperCabrito14]

The game is trying to fuck you over... some of my players will play 1 match per season and will be very happy, and my "good" players will play every single match and whine about their play time and force you to sell them to big teams... it's just not logical dude.

[@bartin9637]

Injuries are soooo annoying! So is low rated keepers which r sooooo OP. Coz I had 27 shots 18 on target against bloody crap team in the Bundesliga and NO Goals

[@eoin0304]

This explains why my Ronaldo is 70 rated

[@RichLeigh]

Poor Ronaldo...

[@HenSt-gz7qj]

and retirement... sometimes, old players won't retire even after they reach 38 years old... but sometimes, player who's only 31 years old already said they want to retire (even thou they're still in the 80's rating)

[@ldsilva1009]

Rx93NuGundam I did an experiment and did a my player with Ronaldo and went to 2024 and it forced me to retire. he was 65 rated

[@HenSt-gz7qj]

back in fifa 16, Buffon immediately says in the first season that he wants to retire 4 out of 10 tries despite still in 86~88 rating. but somehow Bonucci stays until he's 40 years old with 61 rating (in 7 out of 10 tries) :/

[@Cardi859]

The FIFA 12 and FIFA 14 career modes were so good!

[@rezayo3145]

this videos clearly shows something really important in my opinion: people love to play career mode. otherwise there would not be such an outrage in the comment section. EA should finally improve the career mode and NOT JUST COPY AND PASTE IT from the year before! since I play fifa, thats about seven years now, the career mode has not changed. yes, some features were added. but come on, is that a joke? EA, get your 💩 together and listen to dedicated community which is playing this game mode even though you are always somehow managing to fuck shit up. please, get your shit together and finally give us the game mode we all want and desire! peace ✌

[@oliverstephen1740]

In Fifa 18 I have an idea for career mode. They could make a sort of generations career mode. Where they could let you manage the teams like Ac Milan, Inter Ajax when they had the teams with the FUT legends to develop etc. You cold also do the 2000's with Man utd dominating. Could play with the Invincible arsenal squad with henry, viera etc. The would make Career mode more interesting.

[@RichLeigh]

Yeah, that'd be a pretty awesome feature for sure! I've spoken about this very thing with a few other career mode KZbinrs before and I for one would be very interested in bringing through the Class of 92!

[@RS-pm9rv]

Omg thats my #1 Ill never ever sign a faceless players and 95% of the time I sell all the faceless players in my club in the first transfer window. Tbh they're just a waste of space.

Whats with star players always wanting to leave?? as soon as they hit 87-90 overall they want to leave and wont accept any money, regardless of how successful your club is. meanwhile man u has four world class strikers and the whole team has very happy morale

[@4400seriesFAN]

FIFA 17 is a sick joke! I can't take you seriously when you say that this is a massive step up from FIFA16! FIFA17 is worse even than FIFA96!

[@RichLeigh]

I personally find the offline gameplay more enjoyable than FIFA 16. In FIFA 16 teams just didn't attack and I found that incredibly tedious. FIFA 17 career mode probably has more things wrong with it than FIFA 16 did, but for me the game is nonetheless a lot more fun.

[@Edubbs111]

It's absolutely horrible, the update killed the game. The whole game is so sluggish, it takes players twenty minutes to handle the ball, if the pass even gets to them. Passing will never be fun, PES did get this right.

[@4400seriesFAN]

+Rich Leigh Come on, this is an exaggeration! FIFA16 was not perfect (although a big step up from FIFA15), but it isn't the ugly mess that 17 is. For example, the glitches that you were used to see in online matches now appear in Single Player too! Because the braindead people in EA Sports decided that it's a good thing to use the game engine with the most physics issues of all time, in a physics-based game. Don't they see how shitty it is in Battlefield?

[@RichLeigh]

In terms of offline gameplay; FIFA 15 I found to be a lot of fun, FIFA 16 I thought was very dull, and FIFA 17 I actually quite enjoy again. Yes, it's full of glitches and yes it has a lot wrong with it, but when you play as much career mode as I do; gameplay is key and for the most part, I find this game quite enjoyable to play, even with its faults. The introduction of a new engine is always going to result in some problems with the physics, but as I say; personally I still find the gameplay itself to be much improved over last year's offline offering.

[@4400seriesFAN]

Well, it's your opinion and I'm OK with that. But I'm tired of all the bullshit from EA! Every year, they say they improved the A.I. and every year it is worse than before. I mean, how many times would a STRIKER give me a signal to pass him the ball in the *sideline* for HIM to make a cross and leave the penalty box empty? How many times would a player like this have to abandon his position for people to understand that the A.I. in these games is a pathetic joke? I'm sick of it. FIFA17 was just the drop that spilled the glass. I'm done with this franchise.

Dybala was at Man Utd until I signed him on a free transfer, after 2 years he said needed a change of air and requested to leave, so I got approached by Man Utd and sold him for $122 million

[@TomoCooking]

The FIFA manager mode, it has lots of stuff from 07,

[@Fortunaatp]

Every game feels the same, i either win 1-0 or draw 0-0, so boring. There needs to be some sort of form system for the CPU where sometimes they are very good or sometimes they are poor.

[@Ali-yp6uy]

The transfer system is seriously messed up, examples in my first season: Caroll to Real, Sterling to Watford, Wilshere to Juventus, Icardi to Monaco, Mandzukic to Everton, Alves to Sporting, Pepe to Atletico, Costa to Bayern and there is somehow MESSI GOING TO AC F'N MILAN WTF, and then there are United who managed to sign Lewandowski, Griezmann, Dybala, Kane, Bale, Insigne and Asensio in one season, FIFA better fix this

[@ladsarmy549]

Really good video, you made some good points. Hopefully they improve these things in the next game.

[@RichLeigh]

Fingers crossed! I've got high hopes for FIFA 18 career mode.

[@ladsarmy549]

Rich Leigh Me too, I think they should improve upon the points you mentioned and also possibly add small features that can make big differences interactive press conferences and conversation with staff/players, similar to Football Manager.

[@RichLeigh]

It's the little touches that'd really help make the game feel more immersive, right?

[@ladsarmy549]

Rich Leigh Yes, I totally agree with your statement. Things such as training and decision to do with the club make you feel more like you're the manager, rather than just a person behind a control who only determines results of matches.

[@OfficialAnarchyz]

You can be sure that they won't care about these "problems" as long as more and more people buy the videogame every time. They just change a couple of things every year. The same problems you listed in the video I am having now playing FIFA 15. Like homesickness, I mean, come on, I moved on every season a league up to the EPL with a small team, writing a better story than Leicester, I am winning the league, going through Europa League and this idiot feels homesick and there's no way I can make him to stay, so he'd much rather go to play in a mediocre team with no ambitions. I would have a whole list of little touches that I could suggest. If you're playing locked to a player, the ridiculous chances that are wasted by strikers with overall 80.. When the game decides that you can beat easily Chelsea and City but you're either losing or drawing against Middlesbrough, hence hitting 200 times the post in the same game, of course.

[@jackrf1446]

[@RHNGaming]

In manager mode you should be able to do press conferences (like hunter) because EA made the models for the manager you pick to look like.

[@cisco9281]

Career mode is only fun for maybe the first season or 2 but then it gets boring as fuck. They need to make this shit more realistic like come on I beat the 2nd best team in the league by over 20 points in La liga and players like messi and Suarez only score 15 goals a season. Career mode is also not challenging unless you play with a shite team on legendary difficulty and don't make any good buys.

what i really hate is when your player is 72 or low rated but is golden boot and player of the season but still gets offers from lower/small clubs and has a market value of less than 10m..if a player is doing so well the market value should be more and bigger clubs should be offering for the player..it shouldnt depend on the ratings but the performance..plus i hate signing well known players, i like signing young under the radar players and bringing up youths..

Tbf I liked FIFA 16 career mode more. I could sign Ronaldo on a pre contract after about 2 seasons and he would still grow despite being 33/34. Meanwhile in FIFA 17 he pretty much always starts going down as soon as the 1st season. That's just one example btw.

[@RichLeigh]

Yeah... It seems to be a common occurrence that Manchester United end up signing multiple top quality strikers!

[@marseillais2687]

I find it frustrating how difficult it can be to get a player on loan. While in real life, Marseille was able to bring in N'jie, Thauvin (whom they've since activated a buying clause on him) and Gomis, all decent players. How is it that the completely alienated players like Loic Remy and John Obi Mikel are not allowed to leave on loan from Chelsea, but I sure as hell can sign them on a permanent transfer? Loans are restricted to the young players almost exclusively, something not close to reality.

[@RichLeigh]

Yeah, that's very true! There also needs to be more written into the game regarding loans as when you loan a player out/bring them in on loan, there are no restrictions when you come up against their parent club and they're always just free to play against them which I always find quite frustrating.
