Career mode feature request: Continue With a New Manager After Retirement
Dear EA FC Development Team,
I would like to suggest a feature that could greatly improve the long-term Career Mode experience.
Currently, Manager Career Mode has a limit on the number of seasons a player can complete before being forced into retirement. While this creates a realistic career length, it can be frustrating for players who have invested many seasons building clubs, developing youth players, and creating their own football legacy.
My suggestion is that once a manager reaches retirement age or the Career Mode season limit, players should be given the option to:
Retire their current manager.
Create or select a new manager.
Continue in the same football world and save file.
Take charge of any available club.
See the history and achievements of their previous manager preserved in the game's records.
This would allow Career Mode to continue indefinitely while maintaining realism. Players could experience multiple managerial generations, build long-term football dynasties, and witness the lasting impact of their previous careers on the football world.
For example, after retiring a legendary manager who spent 30 years at one club, a player could begin a new career with a lower-division team and compete against the legacy they previously created.
This feature would add depth, replayability, immersion, and historical continuity to Career Mode without forcing players to start an entirely new save.
Thank you for your time and for continuing to improve the Career Mode experience.
Sincerely,
An EA FC Career Mode Player
