A thread for everyone wanting to discuss matters related to Career Mode Stories.
- Tips and advice in regards to writing a story?
- Tips and advice in regards to visuals, use of graphics etc.?
- Discussions about future Career Mode plans or ideas?
Please make a thread of your own, when you start a Career Mode Story. It makes it much easier to follow, when it's written in a separate thread.
But anything else, just fire away here...

Hi mate, good to see you back here!
One needs to set up the save right though. If you set it up with a "closed first transfer window", transfers are removed completely from the game it seems. A bug that will hopefully soon be fixed. But if you start with an open window, then everything seems to work.
Just to clarify I believe this is a lucky dip bug, many reporting the issue, I however and others haven't had that issue so I don't entirely know what is causing it.
But in general it's each to their own on opinions, if you look at rest of the forum you'll see about 600 threads telling us it's the worst game ever like every other year. I have a few niggly things that big me, but overall I'm enjoying it especially career mode

Plenty of good things to report. Gameplay fun and challenging. And there's a competition for your youth team, so one can implement youth team football in ones story, adding more depth to the story of a young player being promoted to the first team and handed his debut. All in all a good experience so far. One needs to set up the save right though. If you set it up with a "closed first transfer window", transfers are removed completely from the game it seems. A bug that will hopefully soon be fixed. But if you start with an open window, then everything seems to work.
However, they've made quite a big deal of trying to make youth players look / appear young. Most agree that they've taken it a step too far though, so a lot of the youngsters are just 5'2 with faces making them look like little girls. Sometimes you come across a talent that looks decent, but the rest of the talents I find? No, can't see myself including them to the first team with their childish and girlish appearances. And I don't expect them to age either, so I can't imagine myself playing 6-8 seasons in and seeing these dolls represent a 24-25 year old. No way. I really hope they revert this to the way it was or at least allow us to edit these things ourselves.
I haven't got the game, yet. Is it okay, then?

I tend to play on World Class, lose too much on Legendary 😂 but I also find it a good base level for messing with sliders. I know on world class I'm gonna win lose and draw games and it's easier to use this level to make certain parts harder/easier as and when I feel need to to keep up the challenge and enjoyment. Whilst I have no issue with losing I don't wanna be losing 10 in a row or anything 😜.
I'm also guilty of restarting games not because I'm losing, but because match doesn't feel right so ability to oaky with sliders during a match is great, but have felt that don't make as much difference this year during the game.
Examples of this like in previous years say I was up against Barcelona and they were playing around the back at 0-0 I'd likely restart the game but up their acceleration/speed and passing etc just to try and make it feel like I was playing Barca without making it too more difficult
I play Legendary too. Five or six minute halves, I think, don't recall exactly. But 10 or 15 minutes, wow, I've never played Career Mode with games this long. With my current scorelines, games often ending 2-2 or 3-3, I would expect scorelines to be even more excessive, if I increased / doubled the match length.
I haven't played around with sliders too much. I think it's been pretty balanced so far, but I'll certainly check up on your experiences with them. Could perhaps improve my playing experience as well.
I play 15 minute halves on legendary with custom sliders. The AI sliders, I turned shooting and crowing way up close to 80. One touch passing and dribbling are turned down to 30.
i am still working on the speed of the game also. Turning down pass speed helps but it is still fast. Turning down sprint and acceleration slows the game down but then players feel heavy when moving so I am trying to find the balance.
What are we currently playing?
I play Legendary with sliders on simulation / 10 mins per half. Simulation settings, I drag down the AI's urge to dribble down to 5.
Gives me the most realistic feel overall, though on the pitch it still feels a bit too fast; on and off the pitch away teams still seem to be at an advantage.
There are some things that I do not like or have not grown used to yet but when it comes to gameplay, I am really liking this. This is the most realistic and hardest FIFA/FC game that I can remember. I still have to use the second controller option to make sure the CPU are playing their best players but when the game is happening, each match seems different and challenging.
I do enjoy playing longer games. I felt like when I played 6-8 min halfs, I could never score.
I'm loving it since day one. Actually, the somewhat more limiting options in tactics are a challenge to work around with, the limitations in scouting is fun as well - you wanna be successful in this game, you gotta work for it. I can already feel, I won't win this season's league and with my self-imposed limitations even next year will be challenging. The goal is a stand-out result in the Champions League, much like 2018-19 and my current estemate is that it will take 3-4 seasons for that.
