Career Mode Online Integration – Turning Manager Career into a Fair, Competitive Multiplayer Mode
📌 Idea Summary:
I propose making part of the traditional "Manager Career Mode" playable online while still keeping the offline option. The core idea is to let players manage real clubs in a fair and skill-based online system, where tactics matter more than luck or squad strength.
🎯 Core Concept:
• Before the season starts, coaching contracts are listed for clubs around the world.
• Players choose a club and sign a contract.
• No club starts the season until all managerial slots are filled.
• Optional: Create custom local/private leagues with friends.
⚖️ Fairness & Balance:
• Weaker teams get bigger budgets, stronger teams get smaller ones.
• This balances the competition and rewards smart managers, not lucky ones.
📋 Key Conditions:
1. Contract signings are open and public. No RNG.
2. Matches are scheduled with dates/times.
3. A manager can request to play manually (1 day before matchday):
- If accepted → the match is played manually.
- If declined/no response → the match is auto-simulated based on both managers' tactics.
🧠 Tactical Depth:
• Managers prepare tactics:
- Defensive/attacking styles
- Pressure levels
- Player roles
• Tactical creativity affects the simulation results.
📉 Realistic Dismissal System:
• Being fired depends on failing to meet pre-season expectations — not just losing games.
• Other realistic factors include:
- Injuries to key players
- Losing players via release clauses
- Red/yellow card suspensions
🔁 After Being Fired:
• You get new offers only from lower-tier clubs or weaker leagues.
• Your career continues — you must rebuild and climb back up.
📝 Contract Exit Options:
1. Request severance pay → get cash, but must wait before managing again.
2. Mutual termination → leave immediately, free to join another club.
3. Take a break → wait for emergency club offers.
🌟 Why This Idea Matters:
• Adds an entirely new online layer to Career Mode.
• Encourages long-term thinking, not just short matches.
• Simulates the pressure, politics, and unpredictability of real football management.
Thanks for reading — I truly believe this idea could evolve Career Mode into something incredible for online players!
Hey brother
That's good in some point and the thing is maybe not one and a lot of player want to choose big teams like real and barca and ...
I think it's better getting servers if this idea gonna work you know
Hey brother,
Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate your feedback!
Regarding your point about big teams like Real and Barça — I already considered that in the idea.
That’s why I suggested balancing it with starting budgets:
If a manager chooses a strong club like Real Madrid, they get less money to spend.
But if someone picks a weak club, they get more money, which creates a fair balance.
So even if many go for big teams, smart players may choose weaker ones for better resources and a real challenge.
And yes, you’re 100% right — this concept would need solid servers to work smoothly. Hopefully EA can scale it if enough people support the idea 🙌
Thanks again for taking the time to reply!
