EAFC 26 Beta Review (Manager Career Mode)

Question

I’ve been enjoying the game so far, especially Career Mode, which feels deeper and more engaging than before. However, I’ve noticed an issue that really breaks immersion: when I leave a club as a manager, the team keeps playing with the exact same tactics I set years ago—even after they hire a new manager.

This takes away from the realism because a fresh manager should naturally bring in their own tactical philosophy and playing style. Clubs in real football evolve with new leadership, so it feels off to see my old team stuck permanently with my tactics.

It would make Career Mode much more authentic if AI managers came in with their own tactical focus and systems, adapting the team’s identity over time rather than freezing it with the previous manager’s setup.

Overall, the mode is fun, but fixing this would add an important layer of realism.

I personally did not get an beta code and only had it once in my life of FIFA/EAFC games. Really hope this would change, so more people can try and affect on the games various game modes/gameplay/etc.

That being said, good to read what you said and would love to read more deep review of the game mode in beta too. Manager Mode is just too boring and repeat itself way too much in earlier games, in order to be enjoyable more often than like in once-twice played inside 3 months.
