EA SPORTS FC Career Mode Feedback

1. Transfer System Needs More Realism

Transfers are often unrealistic because fees and negotiations rely too heavily on fixed market values.

  • Wonderkids and high-potential players should regularly cost more than their market value.
  • Selling clubs should adjust prices based on buying club strength (top clubs pay premium fees).
  • Squad needs should influence negotiations (clubs demand more if they know a replacement is urgently needed).
  • Wage demands should reflect modern football economics more accurately.

2. Dynamic Club & League Prestige System

A dynamic prestige model would improve long-term realism:

League Prestige + Club Prestige = Total Prestige

Prestige should change based on domestic and international success.

Effects:

  • Top talents should require minimum prestige levels to transfer.
  • Low-prestige clubs should rely more on loans or financial incentives.
  • Career progression becomes more meaningful as clubs grow over time.

3. More Varied and Realistic Match Simulation

Simulation results are too repetitive (0-0, 1-0, 1-1, 2-0, 2-1).

  • Tactical setup and squad quality should have stronger impact.
  • More variety in scorelines, including higher-scoring games.
  • Less predictable match outcomes overall.

4. Career Statistics & Football History

Career Mode needs a deeper historical record system:

For players:

  • Clubs played for, goals, assists, appearances, trophies

For clubs and leagues:

  • Seasonal winners, cup winners, international success over time

This would create a living, evolving football world.

5. Player Development, Leadership & PlayStyles

Player growth systems need more flexibility:

  • Leadership and morale should be measurable and influence performance.
  • Experience should improve leadership attributes over time.
  • PlayStyles should be learnable through training and progression.
  • Current systems make certain attributes too static or random.

6. Youth Scouting Balance

Youth development is currently too predictable and overpowered:

  • Too many elite talents are generated every season.
  • Scouts consistently find high-potential players too easily.
  • Elite prospects should be much rarer and harder to identify.

Finding a world-class talent should feel special again.

    I would really appreciate it if this feedback could be considered.

    If some of these features are already being worked on, or if certain suggestions are not possible for technical, licensing, or design reasons, it would be great to receive some information about that as well.

    Are there already plans to introduce changes similar to these in future Career Mode updates or in the next EA SPORTS FC title? Any insight into the direction of Career Mode development would be highly appreciated by the community.
