What Is the Most Realistic Setup for Career Mode?

Save customization is new for FC25 and there's a lot in these menus. Some of these toggles don’t do very much, but some of them are huge for making your save realistic. Now obviously i’ve not played a huge amount of career mode on FC25 in the 3 days it’s been out, but from the time I have spent, I think I have a pretty good idea about which ones we need to look at for a realistic save.
So, today thats exactly what we’ll do. We’ll go through each page, try to explain what they do & also which settings work the best to keep your save fun & realistic.

FC Köln in the 2. Bundesliga are currently under a transfer embargo until the january window due to allegedly forcing a 16 yo player from Olympik Ljubljana (sorry for the misspelling) to break his contract to sign for Köln

[@tariqomer4678]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the settings! I agree with a lot of what you said, especially about the fast development rate for youth academy players. In most saves, it's key for them to develop quickly if you want them to make a difference in the first team. Don’t make the same mistake I did by using fixed-rate training plans 😅

[@jofieji5312]

Why what’s the problem with fixed rate training plans?

[@flickiify]

They’re broken right now so your players will be stuck at 0 sharpness.

Hello mate :) you missed the whole AI section under the simulation menu? Definitely worth checking out in regards to play styles, build and how the AI generally perform on the pitch 👍

[@Gary4106]

The wind effects have been very noticeable when set to high, but low and medium seem the same to me. I haven't noticed anything on medium

[@reeceybyrne]

Wind on high definitely changes the game, long balls are lofty and takes longer to get there or makes you move towards the ball

[@henrybauze2932]

For some reason injury severity only works when you are actually playing every match I put it on 100 and played one game, got three injuries, and then simmed the rest of the season and not one

[@dbest8083]

Tbh I think you should give a Wimbledon rebuild another shot: you got really screwed over with that sacking and I feel like it could make for a great video. There's also my club, Bari. You could make a career mode with it and have to keep a net spend of 0 until you get to the Serie A and accept any transfer offer from Napoli because of the current ownership situation. Also, once you get to the Serie A, because right now a member of Kuwait's royal family seems to be interested in purchasing the club, you may have to scout youngsters from Kuwait and try to develop at least one. You could also try and remake the famous "Bari dei baresi" and only play italian academy youngsters or players from the city of Bari.

[@anubis5615]

40 minute matches with adjusted sliders could be a lot of fun tbh

[@benedictjajo]

Impossible because there's that stupid hidden mechanic of ever increasing pass error with every pass you make without losing possession. If you don't believe me, try stringing 10 passes together in your own half and trying releasing your winger with a through ball. 9/10 times it will fail. Now, do the same thing but instead of 10 passes, only make 2-3 passes before releasing your winger with a through ball, you'll have far more success.

You forgot to talk about scouting speed

[@Mario.P1]

Question, I disabled transfers completely on the settings and teams are still making huge transfers deals right away.. does disabling it just stop me from making transfers? Otherwise what would be the point of transfer embargo as that’s the same thing? does this mean that disabling transfers is broken and doesn’t work?

[@gutohoffmann]

yes it seems to block transfers only for you.. I think it should block for all teams :(

[@calebdolling9801]

Surely that has to be a bug. Why would they make a “non transfer mode” just for the player? You can just decide not to sell anyone you don’t need a mode for that surely 😂😂😂

Some of them are so dumb, the change for training plans i tried both settings and both are equally bad. Your players are either constantly lacking sharpness or always fully fit which means you don’t need to rotate or have a big squad. The automated one seems the way to go. Press conferences are broken and the interface is terrible

Downsize your squad and buy correctly. There's no need to have a giant squad.

[@neinw3605]

I have to say, I’m not really enjoying the gameplay this year. There are moments I like, especially adjusting the AI behavior, but my players just don’t perform well. Most of the time there are a few players in the opponent’s box, and sometimes, my AI teammate stops a counterattack to drop back, even with offensive tactics. Every attack feels the same - run down the wing, cross, score. It’s boring. Scoring from open play seems impossible due to the lack of passing options. Maybe it’s my formation. Any ideas or suggestions?

[@adamboswell9763]

I haven't had that issue myself, maybe once or twice but I think it could just be the formation and the player roles you set, as some players don't have a playstyle so may struggle to understand the role. That could be wrong but that's my takeaway from it all, as I have enjoyed the gameplay this year myself.
