5 Common Mistakes People Make in Career Mode!

[@MartialFitness656]

Things i want in Career mode. 1. Request Funds 2. Start of at youth academy level (both manager and player) 3. Scout via specific stats. 4. Age take longer to start downgrading and starts with physical stats 5. Gain traits 6. Manager stats (composure, adaptability, etc)

[@Joehereford]

Definitely

[@aayushrai8881]

Great suggestions. I think they can also add the following traits for players: 1. Big game experience: Can be included for existing world class players but earned for players that play well in key matches 2. Consistency: One example being Paul Pogba. He used to be in the high 80s 2-3 years back but showed that quality only on occasion IRL. Therefore, using him in fifa felt unrealistic by default.

[@Lillen121swe]

I would like dynamic potential for ALL players... not only your team, I find career modes to be unrealistic after 2-4 seasons when there are 30 90+ players... best in the world isn't special then... maybe scrap potential or have it as a guideline but if for example foden be crap for 2 seasons and don't play... well looks like he's 78 rated in my career mode now

[@MartialFitness656]

@@Lillen121swe yes! I also though of this early but what if any signing made irl get made in the middle of your season (unless your involved, so unless you buy a player or hes at your club) Also regens for players who aren’t playing like R9, Cassias, Zidane etc, also have there kids come up through the academies ( like Kai Rooney or Ronaldo Jrj

For me the transfer windows kill the experience of trying to stay realistic when you see teams buying 5 RBs or Bilbao signing non basque players. League Rules and Team Rules need to added in my opinion.

[@PalestinianVictory96]

A lot of unrealistic transfers indeed

[@MVsekai114]

I think a big change in career mode could the ability to learn traits aswell as losing them, things like Injury Prone, make someone learn Leadership or gaining Team Player over time.. remember back in FIFA 12 where if you created a player with crazy good stats he'll gain traits like Complete Striker/Midfielder/Defender? This should come up like today's terms saying "midfield maestro" to Modric, or "Clinical Finisher" to Lewa.. I personally find Composure a bad stat where the player is punished by playing youngsters.. maybe make it "team composure" instead of individual sharpness, or make the team morale impact composure in game as a big part in career mode. Things like playing derbies difference's between Home and Away. It's crazy that FIFA 21 iirc to now you can't change Composure and Defensive Awareness when creating a player..

[@fillipe4700]

I'd like to play Manager Career more often; I have so much ideas in my head, but board challenges and youth academy makes me far from it. Sometimes I wish I could play multiple seasons and tournaments in a system like the already modes like UCL, where you login in, pick your team and plat

[@kdburner7356]

Yea the state of that mode is honestly pathetic

[@tristanenever549]

I’ve been playing Career Mode for about 15+ years now and the only way I like to play is realistically, however, it is almost impossible with the way the game is, almost everything is unrealistic, broken, useless or not immersive.

[@tiger10119]

I really like getting “older” players with traits to start and having the YA players coming off the bench or playing 2nd team ball. Or to increase growth fast have them have a great pre season and first month then loan them out. Their form helps them make a big jump once you loan them out.

[@jsmithyb]

The problems I'm finding with career mode is that some of the settings I chose are reset every time I load up FIFA. Not to mention that when I set sliders to injury frequency and severity they're also reset in the same way. As for objectives 30 million profit after 1st transfer window for a team near bottom of league 1 or in league 2 in reality is completely impossible without financial takeovers.

[@Itsjoelnotjoel]

MY SETTINGS GET RESET EVERYTIME TOO

[@iceisnice6121]

For the slides, you should change them before the game

[@BarryH1963]

I totally agree every lower League team finances hi and if you're harringate town annual league 2 and you only start off with 2 million how the hell are you supposed to end the season with 30 million EA you need to sort out your boards objectives because they are so unrealistic I always end up getting the sack at the end of the first season because I don't have 30 million in the bank this is getting as bad as Madden and that's saying something

[@robbiestones9447]

They need to make career modes longer..15 years isn't enough...specially if you start from low leagues.. which is more fun..it can take you a while to build a sustainable team in top flight..

[@Ce_Jotah]

I like the point about creating storylines for yourself. In my manager career I did a 2 year stint as the international manager for hungary and then went ahead and signed a hungarian player, with the idea that I got to know him in my international managing experience and wanted to bring him into the club. Things like that make the game more interesting even if it has to come from your own imagination rather than the game.

I'm not a beginner at all in career mode, still this is full of important informations, thank you

[@chikafujiwara9731]

For finding regens: They don't have to appear in the free agent list or the league where the original player was playing at the beginning. The regen is going to be either in the league where the original player has retired or in the free agent list, when the contract of the original player was running out. That's why my CR7 regen has been found in the colombian league. Don't ask me what CR7 was doing over there.

[@redrover1129]

For my career mode with Man U, I try to be as realistic as possible, if Real or Barcelona come in for a player like Lisandro Martinez or Antony, I accept the offer. My Youth Academy is filled with English and Welsh players, and we have one scout available for any other countries for 3 months at a time. It makes it much more interesting when you feel like you have to keep an eye on options at every position because another side like PSG, Bayern, or even Atleti may come in for an offer on a player.

[@mariamalgorzata4974]

the thing with the manager rating is that. if you complete domestic and continental objectives i dont get any manager rating. whilst if i dont complete the domestic objectives i lost manager rating,not only that but the domestic (especially continental) objectives are just way too far ahead from the teams actual ability. cuz on my longford save i managed to get to a conference league spot, and they expected me to go to quarter final,i got knocked out in qualifying round. same story with europa and CL same objective and even if i managed to do them then i would probarly not get any manager rating.

[@rorybanta515]

I think the only objectives I really can't stand are financial ones. Like how am I supposed to get a profit margin of 150 mil in one season and improve the squad? It's just not worth pursuing and I usually avoid playing clubs that have high priority on financial goals.

[@j_m391]

Annoys me to no end this one. First critical objective, sign crucial player in defence, midfield and forwards. Second critical objective, make a profit of £150m on player sales. I mean, how?!

[@jofieji5312]

The worst one is having to get to the round of 16 FA cup with a league two side. You always have to beat a top 3 premiere league team to get there. Boring and completely unrealistic.

[@mubeen4260]

@@j_m391 i think ea should make it like imagine a man utd career mode, if u win against Liverpool/Arsenal/City/Leeds, u 'make' an extra 50k-100k depending on how big the scoreline is/importance. With that, ea would have to adjust it so like the profit margins and other finer details make sense. and the extra u make is realistic for how good ur squad is.

[@Hxlmes1919]

The objectives shouldn't matter as much as they do, because I didn't sign youth players I was sacked after taking cittadella to league champions and coppa italia and having a profit around £300mil

[@stuartwaring9676]

I never understand those who start of a save and within the first transfer window or by the end of the first season have completely changed the entire squad - especially if they're playing at a big club with a large transfer budget. I get it's part of the fun to make signings and that but seeing multiple people do a Nottingham Forest esque squad overhaul, when many teams don't even need that much of a overhaul, so early in the mode....then asking for tips on who to sign. Does my head in.

[@broxxinite351]

i do a liverpool rebuild because that is happening but i only buy 3-5 players in the first transfer window

[@marini11]

You need to change the bench players in training so their diamond stays green, learned that recently. Also the development is important because you can train players to how you want them to play. If you're selling a veteran player sell them before their overall goes down one level because value goes down as well.

[@kdburner7356]

Chat GPT has revived career mode a little for me Whenever players come to me unhappy, I ask it to give an altercation between Player X and the manager with the outcome either being A) Player X leaves in frustration and i transfer list him, or B) they come to a conclusion It’s also great for giving free agents/regens/youth players a backstory

[@parster2010]

The top things that I want in career mode: 1. To be sacked by the board for not keeping clean sheets even though I’ve won the treble. 2. A negotiation cut scene that is the same for players from the Premier League and League Two 3. A cut scene for players leaving that is the same for every player 4. To be given a rating for my transfers which is completely out of context (F - for paying slightly more for a superstar, A - for getting a very bad player on a free). 5. To have players who have just been suspended or that are on long term injury complain about not being on a team. 6. To have negotiations where the agents or managers who don’t accept my original offer, but then accept an offer that is worse my original offer. 7. To have a training system and a development system which has little or no impact on the game. 8. To have every email that I have sent to me from the Board/Coaches start with “As you recall” when referring to something that happened 30 seconds ago. Maybe if we could have a game where these things happened then people would be more happier. 😂

[@fabioben7989]

what are the recommended difficulty in career mode guys? when im playing with world class difficulty i trash the other team 7up, then when i put the difficulty to legendary, opposing team plays like a god. For example they can shoot from outside the box no matter what team it is and scores.

[@dascplayer740]

I’ve noticed similar things for myself too. I’ve also noticed that if your team is equal or weaker on legendary, the other team is a god. But when you’re the better team (by a good margin) your team plays like the gods

Use sliders on Legendary difficulty. The author of the channel has a video on sliders.
