We want Alex hunter (the journey) back

Hey EA Sports team and fellow FIFA fans,

 

I just wanted to say how much I (and many others) truly miss The Journey story mode featuring Alex Hunter. It was one of the most engaging and unique experiences in any sports game — blending football, story, and emotion in a way that felt fresh and personal.

 

The evolution of Alex Hunter’s career — from his humble beginnings to becoming a football superstar — was incredibly immersive. It gave us something beyond just gameplay: it gave us heart, drama, and a connection to the world of football that went beyond the pitch.

 

With the advances in graphics, storytelling, and gameplay mechanics since then, The Journey could return bigger and better than ever — whether as a continuation of Alex’s story, a new character, or even an expanded career story mode with choices that matter.

 

Please consider bringing this kind of story-driven experience back into the FIFA (now EA Sports FC) universe. A lot of fans would love to see it return!

 

Thanks for listening — and keep up the great work!

    Player Career should literally be The Journey but with your Created Player!!

    They've been sat on various assets (cut-scenes etc) from The Journey for over 7 years now!! It's crazy how far behind Player Career is!!

    It needs its own Dev team, time & resources..

  • While story modes like Alex Hunter’s were a breath of fresh air, the real tragedy is how neglected Player Career Mode has become. Year after year, we get surface level tweaks and flashy buzzwords, but under the hood? It’s the same stale, underdeveloped mess. No meaningful progression systems, no dynamic storylines, no real agency. Just a glorified stat tracker with cutscenes that feel like they were stitched together in a weekend.

    And let’s talk about the dev team responsible for this mode. Whoever’s in charge clearly doesn’t understand what makes career mode compelling. Either they’re out of touch, under resourced, or just plain lazy. It’s honestly embarrassing how little effort goes into a mode that should be a flagship experience. Compare it to what 2K does with MyCareer or even older FIFA iterations it’s night and day.

    EA needs a serious overhaul in personnel. Fresh minds, actual football fans, and people who care about immersive gameplay not just monetisation. Right now, it feels like the team is phoning it in, and the community deserves better than this joke of a development cycle.

    If EA wants to win back trust, they need to stop recycling features and start rebuilding Career Mode from the ground up. Until then, it’s just empty promises and wasted potential.

  • Exactly, and even if they don't bring Alex Hunter back they could use a similar story line for your created player and new cutscenes so it doesn't feel like FC 25 all over again.

    Real, this is why NBA 2K dominates in terms of: realism, customization, and storyline. I really hope these Devs wake up and stop fixating so much on UT.
