EA FC 26 Career thoughts and insights

Hello Community,

Am being stuck with UT mode since years, however, career mode is one of my most preferred modes in the game since ever, 

I used to get into a one at least every season, so just wanted to share some thoughts, which however being told that the developers are listening to us, and enhacning the game, seems like no body is giving a sh**, 

I can understand how much greedy that could lead the EA to ruin everything about football in the UT since it is way far that realism, we can understand that even if it is something disgusting, 

(justifying that the game has two way of playing, authentic & competitive, is nothing more, but the same old way of having more pacey gameplay in UT while slower in other modes such as career, however, it was a way out for them to make the UT game play just more awful and has nothing to do with any football aspects), not our topic though, here are some insights which is killing the career mode while being in 2026, and seems like they are not giving any extra hour of wokring on it, 

1-Press conference is very very very lame, and very silly being repeated in the same way, no variable options about player comments, or game impact, no option to talk about the rivals in the conference before the game, same repeated questions and comments, it is really, very bad and dead, and the crazy thing is, it was way better and impactful in the game in older versions 

2-Transfers are heroic, and has nothing to do with realism either, we need at least more strict options to tie to real life, like bulding some logic about each team's transfer targest, and how some teams react in the real life, not like everybody can sign any player, or to add some restrictions about preferences by the players and the clubs, and the fans even, at least if you will destroy the UT mode, keep realistic as much as you can in the career mode, since you announced you will keep both preferences

3-Please keep more stats in the game or more insights about the player scouts, and attitude of being a good player or potential, these areas are the core of the career mode, however seems like being neglected , the new versions and scenarios to select from in the career mode are way great and beautiful feature, lets then spread something similar in the entire career mode itself.

4-player reactions for playing and not playing, negotiations with other coaches or other players, negotiations with the club players, conversations as well, still all of these seems very repetitive and easy to get the impact for a better career score

5-last but not least, please bring back the freedom to adjust the player position manually in the pitch, we understand that all of this could be impacted by the player roles and tactics, but at least leave us some space of customizing, also bring back player instructions, even with the player roles and playstyles, we need more instructions and tactic customizations.

in the end, seems like EA is not giving anytime to improve, and hopefully with new competitiors we can find something that relates more a to game that we love which is football, not a heroic video game that get verybody just stick to the analog, without paying attention to football lovers who got this game on top someday.

    Hello kemozfuryutd​ ,

    Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback.

    It’s clear Career Mode is something you care deeply about, and your points around press conferences, transfers, player interactions, scouting depth, tactics, and customization are all valuable. Immersion and realism are key topics for many Career Mode players, and feedback like this helps highlight where players feel improvements are most needed.

    While not every suggestion can be implemented, your comments will be shared with the teams.

    Thanks again for your passion and for continuing to support the mode.

    Have a good rest of the week.
