New career mode

EA Sports FC (FIFA) has always given us the chance to live the dream of being a footballer — but it’s always started the same way: you’re already a pro.

What if we could start before that? What if we could live the entire journey — from playing in the park to lifting the Champions League trophy?

That’s where my idea comes in. I call it Legacy Career Mode — the next evolution of Career Mode.

🌱 

Your Journey Begins in the Park

You start as a kid — no contracts, no fame, just a dream.

You play football with your friends, learn the basics, and fall in love with the game. One day, your parent or coach signs you up for a local youth team.

From there, everything depends on you:

• How much effort you put into training.
• How you perform in early youth matches.
• How disciplined or confident you are.
  Your choices matter — they determine if you get scouted early as a wonderkid or later as a hard-working underdog.

Every player’s journey feels unique. There’s no one “correct” path.

🎓 

The Academy Phase

After being scouted, you join a U-16 academy.

This is where you truly begin to grow. You balance training, studies, and matches. You learn tactics, teamwork, and discipline.

Here’s what this stage could include:

• Daily training decisions that affect attributes.
• Coach feedback and positional guidance.
• Team chemistry with other academy players.
• Youth tournaments that determine who gets promoted.
• Early sponsorships, discipline choices, and reputation building.

It’s all about development — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

You’re not just building stats; you’re building a career.

The Professional Leap

Once you prove yourself, real clubs begin scouting you.

Maybe it’s a lower-league team giving you your first chance — or a top academy like Barcelona or Manchester City taking you in.

You start small, but your story grows:

• You sign your first professional contract.
• You experience real stadiums, fans, and media pressure.
• You make choices — chase fame, or focus on loyalty and legacy.
• You deal with form, injuries, and competition for your spot.

This is where your Legacy truly begins.

Every choice, every match, every transfer shapes who you become.

🕰️ 

Choose Your Era: Past, Present, or Future

This feature adds huge replay value.

You can start your journey in different time periods, each with authentic details:

• 2000s Era — classic kits, old stadiums, legends like Ronaldinho and Henry.
• 2010s Era — modern tactics, rising stars, global football boom.
• Future Era — futuristic stadiums, new nations, evolving rules.

Each era would have its own vibe, technology, and football culture — letting you live your dream in any generation.

Gameplay Systems

• Aging System: Start as a kid, grow through teen years, peak as an adult, retire as a legend.
• Dynamic Storylines: Press conferences, rivalries, agents, media rumors, and career-defining decisions.
• Player Lifestyle Choices: Fame vs focus, brand deals vs club loyalty, discipline vs risk-taking.
• Skill Evolution: What you do on and off the pitch changes how you play — a calm midfielder, an aggressive striker, or a creative playmaker.
• Generational Legacy: After retirement, your child can start their own journey — continuing your family name in football.

Why It Works

Career Mode has always been fun — but it’s missing one thing: life.

Legacy Career Mode gives us that. It’s not just about football — it’s about growing up, facing choices, and living the full story of what it means to chase a dream.

It combines the realism of Career Mode, the storytelling of The Journey, and the emotion of real football life — all in one mode.

This would make every save feel personal. Every goal feel earned. Every season feel like history in the making.

🙌 

Final Thoughts

This isn’t just a feature — it’s the future of Career Mode.

A true life simulator for football fans.

From your first kick in the park to your last match as a legend.

That’s the Legacy we all want to build.

EA, if you see this — please, make this happen. This is what fans have dreamed of for years. Let us live the entire football life.
