Manager Career Mode issues (compiled)
Thought having a compilation thread as such would make it easier for EA (if they can be bothered after spending most of the year fixing/changing/improving Ultimate Team) to review, ones I've picked up so far: Matchday experience: Removing of the pre-match team line ups, cutscenes, music etc Substitute benches should be 9 players, not 7 Wrong manager sometimes being followed on the new Manager Cam New commentary team unavailable in Career Mode Teams always shoot the same way (option to choose needed) Some kits not available in Customise screen (Tottenham 3rd kit for example) Referee POV cam - when red card is issued the referee shows a yellow card AI puts players out of position regularly At half time sometimes there is a cutscene loop which you can't escape so have to restart the game Teams should shoot towards a preferred end in the second half when at home (Chelsea towards 'The Shed', Arsenal towards 'The Clock End', Tottenham towards the 'Park Lane/South Stand' etc etc After match let us see results of other games in the league for longer General: The length of career mode is set too short overall still Date disappeared from main landing page in Career Mode Coaches causing a freeze/crash when fired The training plan (sharpness/fitness) doesn't work well Pre/Post-Match interviews still ask irrelevant questions Manager objectives are unreasonable and unrealistic and can get you fired even when playing well Ten Hag's face is missing despite being in Fifa 23 (Postecoglou face also not real yet but may be as new to Premier League) When winning German Supercup in manager overview it says "final" instead of "winner" The Dutch & Portuguese Supercups are missing (may be others too) Kit sponsors are missing in some countries Supercups are not counted in number of trophies won in Manager Overview Generated youth players have a 2D picture with the wrong kit on Shirt sleeve sponsors incorrect when promoted/relegated in English Premier League/EFL Championship (also when winning cup competitions) PlayStyles too rare on Youth Players (may not be any) "Let the training plan do its work" email comes too regularly and is unnecessary Number of characters available when editing a stadium name has been reduced and is way too low Editing a players sleeve length doesn't always work Create a club - can't use the new kit options in Clubs Create a club - selecting a rival should let you pick from any league, not just the one you start in Players complain about not playing enough when their role is 'Sporadic' Players complain about not playing when they are out injured Loaned in players get constant complaints if they don't play every minute in emails from parent club No option to see how many minutes our loaned out players are getting No option to turn off the objectives as they can ruin the mode Player morale can drop too much in one go from Press Conference answers AI teams should player weakened squads in certain competitions (early rounds of Carabao Cup for example) When simming there seem to be far too many goals late in the game if you start to sim from a comfortable position (ie. 3-0) Youth academy names are way too limited and repetitive Custom tactical visions are penalised permanently Players being subbed late into games handing in transfer requests Two Hummel kits are identical in Create-A-Club No new badges in Create-A-Club and some even removed Option to save an avatar to re-use again in another save Long sleeves don't work on Nike/Puma kits Morale system doesn't work - too many players get unhappy to easily Transfers: Not been improved/changed for years Can be really hard to sell low-rated players when a high rated team No loan options such as mandatory purchases AI making unrealistic transfers regularly After a few seasons AI not signing big enough squads AI sign too many players in the same position Sometimes when offer accepted a random background of the pitch is shown during the cutscene When signing a player it's impossible to negotiate a lower squad role Music cuts out in cutscenes Players signing pre-contracts will join in the winter transfer window (gamebreaker) Skip cutscene for players signing/leaving needs implementing Sign players on one-year contract but can't negotiate another year so teams sign them on pre-contracts and I don't have options During contract renewal, players never want an extension Please do add as many as you can to this thread and I'll try to make an effort to update this if possible!
Please let us add/train playstyles in Career Mode
I love the introduction of playstyles, but it can be so much better if we can add them/train players to obtain them. Playstyles are such an important aspect of the game and it is extremely disappointing that we can’t train our players to have playstyles/playstyle+. In FC24 we had the playstyle training glitch and it was one of them best features in the game (adding playstyles to any players). I played FC24 more than any other FIFA because of this glitch. I sincerely hope EA find a way to add the ability for players to obtain playstyles and playstyle+ in the future.EA SPORTS FC 24 Career mode Bug
There is a bug in EA Sports FC 24 Manager Career Mode. Under Team Strategy ==> Coach Management, when attempting to Release Coach to make up for a new one I get the prompt (see attached picture) but unable to select Yes or No. I am forced to quit the game and restart multiple times. I do not know if it is related to me making a wish list earlier, please fix
PLEASE READ: Message about Career Mode
Hey Everyone, before I start, I'd like to say I have complete respect for all the designers, developers and team behind the game. It takes a lot of time and effort, and years of planning, developing and distribution, for a game that many players take for granted. I've just seen the January Update notes on Trello, and it appears for the second month running Career Mode hasn't had an update to it. Personally, it's sad to see the game's most authentic mode not having much attention paid to it. This is after hundreds of players have made the same complaints about several of the same issues, some of which are game-breaking. To have a simple issue where I can't negotiate my contract or accept the one offered to me not fixed since the game's release, especially after the issue was picked up and passed on to developers months ago, is concerning. Forgive me for a moment, I'm not a developer or games designer, but it doesn't seem to require extensive work to fix this issue. A simple button saying, 'Stay at Club', 'Negotiate Contract', or 'Accept Contract' will do for this issue. I maybe wrong. A vast amount of players around the world invest so much time playing this mode, but to see Career Mode issues unresolved for months especially after it was said it was picked up, then I seriously question is it the World's Game? I had many happy times playing Career Mode in my childhood, and it's a shame that not much attention is being paid to it. I can understand Ultimate Team getting the most attention, as its the games USP, and so it should. But for players who want to immerse themselves into the life of a footballer playing for their favourite clubs, it doesn't seem fair that the mode isn't reaching its potential that we all know it can reach. Once again, I have complete respect for all the designers. As with everything in life, the game will inevitably come across problems and errors that 'eventually' will be resolved. We can be frustrated that the issues affecting us don't get resolved, but the developers and personnel don't deserve the hate and abuse they get, especially Community Managers as it isn't their job to maintain the game. @Paul_LiveOps @Master-Den-01 @EA_LeonSK @EA_rephii @EA_Pulsar, Would it be possible if we could get a reply about any updates being made to Career Mode, it would be greatly appreciated. I really do hope this issue gets resolved. Please click Me Too, reply or give XP if you agree. Thanks for your time.Unable to Sprint in Career Mode Matches
Product: EA SPORTS FC 25 Platform:Xbox Series X Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox Series X What is your Gamertag/PSN ID/Switch ID? wotcher123 Which mode has this happened in? Career Mode Which part of the mode? Player Career How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%) Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? How would I know? It’s your job to find out what’s going on, or why. It was your job in the first place to make sure these things rarely happen. What happens when the bug occurs? I get angry and feel the sudden urge to be violent and destructive. Wait, you mean in the game? Same. What should be happening instead? Normal gameplay. I thought I’d never get to say this, but this is worse than FC 24. At least 24’s basic functionalities were functioning. How do you expect me to play this game and to experience all of those your sugar-coated advertisement of exaggerated copy-and-pasted nonsense when the most basic stuff isn’t working properly? In Player Career Mode, during match, my player can’t sprint as if they are suppressed by the mediocre coding of your game. When they aren’t sprint, it doesn’t mean they are jogging. They just casually fast-walking. It gets worse even with the ball. Even that fast-walking is reduced to 30%, and it’s painfully slow. I tried everything. Changed settings, changed sliders, even started various new files, but none fixed this problem. It’s simple. It’s basic sprinting. Without it, this game is LITERALLY unplayable. How come you guys sit around your comfy desks doing nothing then release this pathetic excuse of a football game. How do you expect me to experience your glorified ‘new’ features when I can’t simply RUN. Do you guys know why sprinting is such important in football games? See, I have to RUN to chase the ball. I have to RUN to get into defensive positions. I have to RUN to make an attack. I do hope, in the closet time, you guys fix this most basic game-breaking problem. PLEASE.
Fc 25 Youth Academy
Hey fc, in career mode & in particular the youth academy, a lot of newly scouted players will have exactly the same type of face I.e the eyebrows are always pointed down with an alien shaped head. It’s like playing a team that are all clones. & also scouting a Target forward specifically wanting someone who can head the ball being a striker, their Head- accuracy is near rated 10 while others are way higher. This is also the same with a goalkeeper, their diving is between 1-15 whereas their kicking is 55-60. and lastly is it correct that no youth player scouted is higher overall than a 65 or so as it’s virtually impossible to scout a proper wonder kid. Thank you, looking forward to future updates, keep up the good work. Definitely great steps being taken in career mode this year.
