Career Mode and Volta ideas for EA Sports FC 26 and future games

Hey EA team and everyone here

I’ve been playing Career Mode (especially Player Career) for years, and I’ve really started enjoying Volta lately too. I just wanted to share a few ideas I had that could make these modes way more immersive and fun — maybe for EA Sports FC 26 or even future games.

Right now, careers kind of just end around 35+ with no real choice. It would be awesome if, once you reach like 34, you could decide how many more seasons you want to play — like:

Play 1 more season
Play 2–3 more seasons
Retire now

You could get a message from your agent or the club asking what you want to do. It would give players more control and make your career feel more personal.

Imagine your agent helping you get better clubs, pushing for higher wages, or recommending transfer options.

Sponsorships could be dynamic too — maybe starting with smaller brands and growing to big names depending on your reputation. Cutscenes when signing a major deal would be cool too.

Retirement shouldn’t just be a "that’s it, you're done" screen. There should be something special to wrap it all up — like:

A farewell match
A press conference or ceremony
Fans cheering you off
Some kind of legacy video or tribute

Just something that makes all those seasons feel like they led to something big.

It would be amazing if you could keep playing as your character — but now as a manager.

You could carry over your player’s name, looks, maybe even fame — and manage your old club or build a new legacy. Maybe even have a stadium named after you or be called a club legend.

Bring the world around the player to life:

Fake social media posts, news, interviews, and transfer rumors
Your reputation as a GOAT, club legend, or underrated genius
A Hall of Fame style page showing your full career: goals, assists, trophies, clubs played for, records broken, etc.

It could make everything feel way more alive.]

Volta is fun, but it could be so much more. I'd love to see:

Ability to build your own team in Volta
Create or upgrade your own pitch
Recruit AI or real players
Take part in Volta tournaments or leagues
Maybe even link your Volta player to your main career mode save

That’s it from me — just wanted to throw out some ideas I had that could make both Player Career and Volta even better. I really hope we see some of this in EA Sports FC 26 or down the line.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for keeping the game alive!
