There isn't a single development plan preset that allows you to train Free-Kicks, on previous editions of Career Mode this wasn't the case; please fix this bug we should be able to train free-kicks.
The only way the Free-Kick stat gets boosted is via the "Balanced" option, it shouldn't be like this.
They are not going to fix this, if they would, then it would have been done at the beginning of the launch. The simple fact is that EA does not give an **** about the people playing the game. It is always where the money is and it's not in career mode for them. Almost 30 years and they are still the same.
EA_Aljo Is there any word on this? Spent dozens of seasons grinding methods to get a free kick taker and none work. It’s June and there still seems to not be acknowledgement from EA that this is even an issue. I buy the game pretty much solely to play manager career and this is genuinely a stain on the game mode at the moment.
Can't train curve, free kicks or penalties; what an absolute joke.
What's the point? How have they not seen these things during testing.
And it probably won't. I haven't played FC25 in many months now.
The fact that you're not able to train these things in a deep dive career mode, leaving the entire free kick and corner kick elements in the game utterly unusable, takes away my joy of playing and developing my team.
Screw this. Screw EA. Won't be getting the next game for the first time in years, I'm pretty sure. This is a vast insult to the fans and players.
June 2025 and it still hasn't been fixed
I think this is honestly a joke, the company clearly have no desire to work on anything other than Ultimate Team. It feels like all the resources go towards Ultimate Team, I would honestly pay for two different games an Ultimate Team one and a Career mode one if it meant EA would actually give some attention to Career Mode (Really shouldnt need to but seems like the only way). There are sooooo many creative ideas from this community as to how this game mode could be improved, the fact that EA completely disregards all feedback is so horrible.
Still nothing. So, this won't be fixed in this years game, I gather?
The development team can spend endless time making small in-game tweaks and adjustments in an endless loop, but can't spend five minutes on this?

Dude it’s actually absurd. The newest update has made the game unplayable. I think there’s a glitch where the cpu doesn’t get called for fouls now so I’m letting in goals that would be otherwise called offsides constantly. EA has to be running some sort of social experiment to see how bad they can make the game while still bringing in $$$. The game has consistently gotten worse with every update
