EA FC 26 Career thoughts and insights
Hello Community, Am being stuck with UT mode since years, however, career mode is one of my most preferred modes in the game since ever, I used to get into a one at least every season, so just wanted to share some thoughts, which however being told that the developers are listening to us, and enhacning the game, seems like no body is giving a sh**, I can understand how much greedy that could lead the EA to ruin everything about football in the UT since it is way far that realism, we can understand that even if it is something disgusting, (justifying that the game has two way of playing, authentic & competitive, is nothing more, but the same old way of having more pacey gameplay in UT while slower in other modes such as career, however, it was a way out for them to make the UT game play just more awful and has nothing to do with any football aspects), not our topic though, here are some insights which is killing the career mode while being in 2026, and seems like they are not giving any extra hour of wokring on it, 1-Press conference is very very very lame, and very silly being repeated in the same way, no variable options about player comments, or game impact, no option to talk about the rivals in the conference before the game, same repeated questions and comments, it is really, very bad and dead, and the crazy thing is, it was way better and impactful in the game in older versions 2-Transfers are heroic, and has nothing to do with realism either, we need at least more strict options to tie to real life, like bulding some logic about each team's transfer targest, and how some teams react in the real life, not like everybody can sign any player, or to add some restrictions about preferences by the players and the clubs, and the fans even, at least if you will destroy the UT mode, keep realistic as much as you can in the career mode, since you announced you will keep both preferences 3-Please keep more stats in the game or more insights about the player scouts, and attitude of being a good player or potential, these areas are the core of the career mode, however seems like being neglected , the new versions and scenarios to select from in the career mode are way great and beautiful feature, lets then spread something similar in the entire career mode itself. 4-player reactions for playing and not playing, negotiations with other coaches or other players, negotiations with the club players, conversations as well, still all of these seems very repetitive and easy to get the impact for a better career score 5-last but not least, please bring back the freedom to adjust the player position manually in the pitch, we understand that all of this could be impacted by the player roles and tactics, but at least leave us some space of customizing, also bring back player instructions, even with the player roles and playstyles, we need more instructions and tactic customizations. in the end, seems like EA is not giving anytime to improve, and hopefully with new competitiors we can find something that relates more a to game that we love which is football, not a heroic video game that get verybody just stick to the analog, without paying attention to football lovers who got this game on top someday.Career mode Playstyles upgrade
I feel like Career Mode PlayStyles need to be earned through performance, not just arbitrary 80/90 OVR caps. It makes no sense that a 6'5", 190lb youth CB doesn't have the "Bruiser" tag just because his rating is low—his physical size should count for something. We should be able to unlock tags like "Finesse Shot" by actually completing milestones, like scoring a set amount of goals from outside the box. This would make training and youth development feel earned based on how we actually play the matches. It turns players into unique athletes instead of just a bunch of numbers and OVR ratings. What's the thought???Career mode difficulties
Hey Ea, I would like for you to introduce cut socks like white grip socks under the cut normal socks to make it more realistic than ankle tapes. And also in Career mode the commentary name system doesn’t have common names in it like Vincent it’s kind of frustrating to be carrying other names.I also would like if the created players can have some playstyles even if it’s 1 play style it’ll make it more defining and more good or if the created player could unlock it through training.
Player Career - Match Stats, Performance Stats, Historic Calendar
I'd like to suggest a way to see previous match stats and player performance stats using the calendar. I like to keep track of my stats when I start a player career and it's hard to do that when you can only view them at the end of a game. I think it would be great to use to calendar to be able to see previous fixtures throughout your entire career and being able to view the match stats (including match events to see other scorers, subs) and your player's performance stats in that game.
Improve women’s football
Whenever I do a women’s career save it gets boring after a while as I get offered national team jobs and don’t get to do a EUROs or a international cup or even when I do a club save I only play BWSL or anyother women’s league and there are no division 2 such as BWSL2 I believe this should be recognised so I can start from the bottom work my was to the UWCL from the BWSL2 or the 2. Frauen-Bundesliga to give so I can earn the adobe womens fa cup or the league cup EA sort this before fc27Deeply disappointed: Career Mode is broken and rewards AI over players
Dear EA Sports Development Team,I am writing this because I am honestly deeply disappointed and fed up with the state of Player Career Mode. I bought this game to enjoy a realistic journey, but instead, I am met with "broken" mechanics that make the experience feel like a chore rather than a simulation.One of the most frustrating things is the progression system. It is completely unfair that a mediocre AI-controlled player can increase their rating by 3 points every single year without any effort, while I am forced to level up twice just to gain a single rating point once I reach the 85-rating mark. It makes no sense that the game makes it so much harder for the actual player to improve than for the computer-controlled players who are objectively worse.The lack of logic continues with the award system. I just finished a season with an incredible 99 goal contributions in 85 games, yet the Ballon d'Or was given to a teammate with far worse stats. How can you call this a simulator when the game doesn't even recognize the best player on the pitch?Finally, the economy is a total mess. I have played for 10 seasons and earned only $150 million in total. Erling Haaland makes that in two and a half years in real life. It’s also insulting to see aging players like Iñigo Martínez earning higher wages than Cristiano Ronaldo, while 19-year-old "regens" are valued at hundreds of millions in 2035. The inflation and wage logic are non-existent.I’m not asking for a refund, but I am asking for you to fix this. Make the progression fair, fix the awards, and give us a realistic economic engine. Stop ignoring Career Mode fans in favor of Ultimate Team.Player career- teammates and game play
When ever you play player career mode your teammates always play worse than the opposition and are helpless without you and can’t do a thing in attack or defence forcing you to be everywhere and the your match rating goes down straight away. Your own teammates always either get in your way, block your shots when attacking or just straight up tackle you and steal your goal or just lose the ball. Also they don’t press at all.
