Career mode idea: Instead of another red bull franchise team try creating a monster energy franchise ( eg: MNST London) and they can be rivals with the red bull franchise teams

[@whippin1335]

Holy shit I love this idea. I’m doing this next career mode save

this already exists and a brasilian series of LOBO GUARÁ

I did a Bolton rtg last fifa and got like 10 seasons in, all my players were all 90+. One of the best career mode saves I’ve done

[@user-eg6nd6nl5s]

I love these videos where someone rates other Career Modes! It is just so interesting to watch...

[@marchewakolejvideo]

Did a Palermo save with the goal of promoting them to the Serie A and then establishing them as a mid table side in the 1st division using some academy players (Palermo have a history of producing exciting young players) Season 1: Wasn’t expecting much from the side, maybe a mid table finish, but with our 70 rated brazilian academy player Alex Borges we suddenly found ourselves in the play-off spots. In the last 10 games we beat Parma, Benevento, Cagliari and got a crucial point against Genoa to secure promotion from 2nd place. 2. Reinforcements were needed to survive the Serie A so we brought in Brandon Soppy and secured the transfer of our top scorer who was on loan with us in the Serie B: Luca Vido. Bought Lyanco and got Leo Stulac from Empoli. Palermo had a great start to the season but we then fell down the table. At the halfway mark we were 19th with (as I remember) 6 points to safety, we also lost 6-2 to Bari in the Coppa Italia 😂. We managed to buy an old Hysaj to add Serie A expierience to a young squad. Good results followed and we ended the season 16th. 3rd season: I wanted to get more depth and expierience into the team, and managed that with the signings of a 30 year old Nicusor Bancu, Karol Fila and a good attacking option, Andrei Ivan. I also sold Lyanco to Ajax as he grew to a 78 OVR and brought in Toti Gomes from Wolves. We started the season perfectly with 4 wins in 5 games and 1 goal lost. It was looking we had left our defensive woes behind but our form started to go down and we fell down to 10th place. We would win 1 game and then lose 2. Bancu was fantastic though scoring 5 goals and providing 3 assists from LB. Ended the season on 12th place. I’am currently looking for a young goalkeeper prospect that could replace an old, but solid Pigliacelli. Hoping to finish around mid table next season and maybe have a push for European cups in the next couple of years.

[@mariomanno1]

Seeing career mode saves is always very interesting to see. Especially for the teams people go to and the academy projects they end up with. The career mode subreddit always manages to come up with ridiculous youth players who are so good that you could barely select a suitable position for them

[@Justguro]

That Parma save was perfect

[@stevenrussellhaime6626]

Realism is impossible when the other teams are unrealistic with who they buy unless you can mod the game to make it realistic

[@mendreo]

Did a Athletic Club Bilbao CM since FIFA 21 and only signed Basque born players or players who went through a Basque youth academy (as they do irl). Very fun to see even the older players grow in ratings; really makes you appreciate footballers who you won't otherwise use/sign in CM when you're so limited in signings!

[@jackbudgen8858]

Very difficult buying players in game because of the basque thing but I would sometimes pretend a spanish player has basque heritage if I really wanted or needed a certain position filled. Was also a fun way to play bilbao realistically

[@declangaming24]

The basque thing is so limiting If I manage bilboa I don't do it as I don't have the time to research every basque player it ruins anything If your limited with transfer budget I understand

[@mcrbenj]

you defo need to do a part 2 of this or make it a series

[@luisdayscarrot]

In Fifa 22 I had so much fun making a club named AFC Tenotichtlan and playing in Spain. My concept was simply only using Mexican players and "conquesting" the conquistadors. So I was so sad to see Liga MX removed in 23 and being unable to truly recreate AFC Tenotichtlan

[@moygame159]

This actually sounds like a great idea 💡 Gonna go back to fifa22 and try it out

[@darwinnunez5793]

I did a similar thing with Indian/Asian players in English league conquering the league.

Started a realistic (as much as possible on FIFA 23) with AFC Wimbledon in a bid to make them a Premier League club again. Currently in my fourth season in the Championship. Still got Assal and Davison as my strikers and have got two youth products in the first team. This is complemented with Louis Reed from Swindon, Cameron Humphreys-Grant from Rotherham and Shaun Rooney from Fleetwood.

[@adamsky77]

Had a great career mode on 22 with Espanyol. Almost every player hit 80-85 from 72-77 ratings. Lot of fun without having to bring in many players first season but great to sell on in second and third seasons.

[@harrisondavis2003]

Grimsby with Haaland isn’t realistic because he’s not good enough. We have McAtee (for another 6 months)

[@dBVF_]

I started an 1860 RTG save last week... also on Fifa 21 lmao Trying to keep it realistic to german style transfers so the squad is mostly german with some french, japanese and some eastern european players too. Currently half way through season 2. Trying my best not to sign free agents and players without faces except for as reserves.

[@everybodygotthegoodones]

Thanks person, im a bolton snd spurs fan and never see people do saves with my clubs. You have given me inspiration as in my bolton saves i tend to get to the championship but struggle afterwards.

[@jz_editz4]

glad you liked it mate!

[@ECSTRAYER]

I finished a career mode save with FC Nordsjælland in FIFA 22. Ultimate difficulty, full manual controls, only bought three Danish players and one Norwegian in the first three seasons. Other than that, the whole 15 seasons of the save were just developing players from the academy with 5 star scouts and signing youths with at least 90 potential, from Denmark, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Sweden, Norway and Finland. Pretty much trying to fit the 'Right to Dream' academy model. I keep them most of the time till they are 23 and put them on the transfer list when every season ends. Was pretty fun, won one champions league and numerous Superligaen.

[@homersimpson6585]

A fun save would be if you trained Parma as Buffon as manager. And Replicate the good old days buying the next batistuta, next cannovaro,next veron and ofc next Buffon Your goal is making Parma a competitor for the serie a title and maybe win the ucl with Parma so Buffon finally wins a European title something he couldn’t win as a player

[@DanielAndHisViolin]

Here's a not realistic but very fun career mode idea from me: Since Cardiff City's jersey sponsor is from Malaysia, you should have a full team with players from ASEAN countries, ofc I know there are not many players from those countries,so regens from those countries are allowed

[@cronandmongler9291]

[@rykersmith918]

You should rank leagues to play in for CM I think it’d be cool

[@WildcatFourOneEight]

I wished I had saved my stats for a sunderland save I did on FIFA 18. It wasnt the most realistic but it was amazing in the full 15 seasons I played it. I got them to winning around 5 champions leagues and 8 premier league titles with the likes of Domingos Quina as the captain, Pulisic, Gabriel Jesus, and Raheem Sterling all apart of the time. Also I think I had Ronaldo's regen too! It was great but all that I have from it are a couple highlight clips unfortunately :(

[@MCSFCULTRA522]

I've done a douthampton career mode, getting to the conference in the first season. Won that and got top 4 then lost realism and won a champions league

[@sebb8789]

Maybe this is harsh but the first guy seems to have completely butchered his development plans on the goalkeeper. 86 diving and 88 reflexes while his handling and kicking are at 64. This only seems like a good idea if you're trying to recreate David De Gea. This gives me the idea that he might have done that with his other players as well. Personally I try to avoid this because having something like a 78 rated striker with 95 finishing and his other stats being poor isn't entirely realistic to me which is why I don't think that the first career save is great. Just something I noticed and thought I'd share. Keep up the good work mate

[@jz_editz4]

oh yeah, my bad, thanks for pointing it out

[@sebb8789]

@@jz_editz4Ayy man no worries. Otherwise I think your save is cool. I quite like the idea of having Talisca up top with his height and technical ability and I like how you're using some different English players like Holding

I’m currently 3 1/2 seasons into a Brentford CM where I can only use Scandinavian players. Using the link between Denmark and Brentford as the spark. Playing on Legendary and 4 min halves. 1st season; 11th, best signing, Isak 2nd; 7th, lindstrom, Odegard 3rd; 3rd, Haaland, final of ECL 4.5; sitting at 3rd and topped CL Group with PSG in there. The goal was get odegard & Haaland ✅ and then go for the Title and CL 🏆

[@yafaveleog8524]

Most career modes I do I manage 3-7 different clubs over the whole mode. Is this the wrong way to do it? Do you suggest sticking with one team and building it up over time or to switch leagues more and get variety

[@declangaming24]

Journeyman is great but my usual thing to do is start with a old player like Messi play his carrer until a certain point and retire he retired at 41 at Brentford he started his management journey at Championship side Southampton did 2 seasons with them moved to Manchester united then moved to Barcalona before being forced to retire.

[@bozidarloncaric]

I am playing with hajduk split in the seria b. I am using Slaven Bilić as the manager as he used to play for hajduk. In the future seasons i plan to sign perišić, vlašić, pašalić and other croatian players that previously played for hajduk or have been linked to joining them.

[@Philou67]

I try to be realistic in my careers, I sell good players to stronger teams when I'm not a top club I use the Youth academy a lot. I don't re-sign players who has not gametime in the pitch or I loan them. With Strasbourg, I sell nearly every players from the team of the first Season except Sissoko and Dagba, I won 4 Cup, 4 Ligue 1 and 4 Champions League in 7 Seasons (5 Season with the Legendary Difficulty, 2 with Ultimate difficulty), my players in the first team are rated from 83/84 to 92. With my created club in Bundesliga, I'm on Season 7 too, with 2 promotion and I played the UECL in season 6, my players are rated from 78 to 83. With Leicester I played 2 Seasons in Ultimate difficulty, won 2 PL with Goal Average and a Carabao Cup, I recruited Soria, Delaney, Sinisterra, Ake and Ginter and sold Tielemans. And I played a Season in Mechelen in Belgian League and finish 4th and Lost the play offs and I sold Storm and recruit a ghanean pregen and Lille has loaned Alan Virginius. Now I'm looking for a challenge in Spain after the transfert window of January.

[@scribbler526]

Realism could be a challenging factor and i can agree with that, for example by avoiding to sign wonderkids or selling your best talents to richer teams when you get the right offer and so on. But it shouldn't be a living obsession that destroys every possibility of success in every possible way. Otherwise, we should just pretend that Mourinho's Porto, Clough's Derby and Forest, Ranieri's Leicester, Kaiserslautern, Montpellier and so on,didn't even exists in history. 12 years to a champions league title through youngsters "made" in your academy are not that insane. Of course is not easily possible cause otherwise Benfica, Anderlecht and Ajax would've won the champions league every year, but it's not that insane since, just in recent years, Ajax reached an EL final and a CL semi-final (coming inches from the final) or Villarreal won the EL and reached a CL semi-final by eliminating giants like Bayern and Juventus, putting also Liverpool under huge pressure before collapsing in the second half of the second leg. It's not unrealistic to win with improbable team by facing a lot of challenges through a lot of seasons; it is to do so by filling it with the best wonderkids in the world stolen from richer or stronger teams and without any financial worry, for example. You are too dismissive about rtg, in my opinion.
