[CMS Story] AFC AJAX Ambitious Again!
Daniel Marzec at it again in this Career Mode Story with AFC Ajax from Amsterdam. The 'Manager Story Man' takes over the reigns from Francesco Farioli who, despite losing the title (giving away a nine point lead in the final five games of the season), did bring Ajax back in UEFA Champions League. Farioli wanted to continue, but on his own terms and that was incompatible with the Ajax culture that emphasizes home-grown talent and the attractive and attacking concept of total football. Thus, Farioli departed. Club management are putting their jobs on the line and their future in the hands of the unexperienced manager Daniel Marzec, who is expected to at least do as well as his predecessor: qualifying for UEFA Champions League and decent runs in Europe and in the Cup.256Views1like33CommentsEnough is Enough!!!!
Where do I start? I speak for the majority. I'd move to another football game but there isn't one on the market. I can't just move away from FC either as I love football too much. Playing rivals was fun till Div7 then it just gets TOXIC, playing Champs is TOXIC. It just gets boring! I don't see any point in grinding the SBC section either as you don't get anything from packs that you want, 90 rated Messi goes for 3 Million coins and other than luck how do you get him? REALISTICALLY!! How does the customer get the ultimate team they want to create? If I want to create an all star Barca squad for example with Maradona, Cruyff, Ronaldihno and 90 Messi how do I do I go about it? Please advise.8Views0likes0CommentsPatches continuously ruin offline authentic mode
Offline authentic mode played amazingly back in October. Since then every patch that has come out makes playing the game in this made worse. I’ve gone from playing the game (over200 hours up to the end of October) to not at all! EA have completely ruined the game for me by these terrible patches. Every time I hear a new patch has been releases I am hopeful that the game play has been reverted back to how it was in October. Sadly it’s become a terrible mess as it fails to provide a realistic but incredible fun game. Great that some of the manager career mode contract bugs were fixed but why mess with the gameplay for offline players? Definitely won’t be purchasing another version in future at the risk of this happening.10Views0likes0CommentsAdd Official Real Motion capture Face Scans for the Saudi pro league.

I am an oldschool player who plays manager career mode. The Gulf between professional and world class settings are an absolute joke and have been for quite awhile. You can’t even get a win on world class setting, yet professional is so easy it’s not worth playing and becomes repetitive and very boring. They truly need to sort out world class settings, without me having to go in and just sliders. (which makes the game feel awful.) If this is not been updated by the end of January, I’m just going to delete the game altogether, I won’t be buying another FC title. They do not update the game anywhere near enough and everyone has complained about the world-class mode for months and months now.43Views2likes5CommentsManager Career Mode Needs Meaningful Evolution
Dear EA Sports Team, I’m writing as a long-time player who has been with the franchise since FIFA 09, and someone who has played Manager Career Mode religiously for the past four years. Every year, I buy the game hoping that Career Mode will take a meaningful step forward. Unfortunately, it feels like the mode has remained stagnant—and in some areas, even taken steps backward. People who play Manager Career Mode want to live the life of a football manager. That means more than just matchday gameplay. It means strategy, identity, long-term planning, accountability, and standing by your decisions. Over time, many of these elements have either been limited or removed altogether. Some examples: - We no longer have the freedom to create our own formations and tactical ideas. - The removal of requesting funds took away an important managerial responsibility. It would be far more immersive to allow managers to make a case to the board—based on performance, vision, squad needs, or long-term plans—and stand by that justification rather than having budgets be static. - Out-of-game animations have barely changed for years. Individual creators using AI can now generate better animations than what we see in Career Mode—let alone a company of EA’s scale. There are also many realistic systems that could dramatically improve immersion: - Buy-back clauses and more advanced contract structures - Multi-club ownership, where a “sister club” can be used for player development (similar to Man City and Girona), including shared academy philosophy and long-term group identity - A manager career leaderboard based solely on real-life managers, allowing players to compare long-term achievements against legends like Sir Alex Ferguson or Pep Guardiola - A proper manager contract system, where contracts have fixed durations and must be renewed. Managers should be able to resign voluntarily, fail renewal negotiations, or allow contracts to expire. In these cases, the game should continue along the same timeline, allowing the manager to remain unemployed—without access to club operations—until a suitable role from their job watchlist becomes attainable - Club legacy leaderboards, enabling comparisons between a player-built club and historic giants like Real Madrid in terms of trophies and achievements - Smarter scouting, driven by player profiles and positional needs rather than generic results - Tactical support tools, offering guidance on how to approach or counter an opponent’s style or formation for players who may not fully understand tactical matchups - A meaningful use for manager wages—right now they’re just numbers. In reality, some managers prioritize legacy and trophies, while others value financial success. Reflecting that choice would add depth and personality to Career Mode. Honestly, it often feels like Career Mode is no longer a priority at EA. While gameplay continues to receive attention, a set of focused, relatively minor updates like these could completely transform the experience for millions of players who prefer an immersive single-player mode over Ultimate Team. Career Mode has enormous potential. Many of us simply want to see it treated with the same ambition and care as other parts of the game. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope this feedback reaches the teams responsible for shaping the future of Manager Career Mode. Kind regards, Long-time EAFC Player13Views0likes0CommentsI'm about to delete the game!!
Hello, I've been playing the game for 5 months and I've reached World Class mode. I'm okay with losing, but I'm tired of conceding ridiculous goals, goalkeeper errors, poor passing mechanics, and the opposing goalkeeper saving almost every shot. If you don't fix these things, you'll lose another player. Do you want to lose another player? I just want to play FC26. Please fix these issues. Regards. (CM: Edited to translate thread title. Please post in the language of the board.)15Views1like0CommentsRooney missing from Icons for Manager career despite being in season 3 pass
Season 3 pass shows Rooney as playable in both player and manager career modes after reaching level 19 of the season pass. BUT!! He is not available for selection ☹️ It shows him as a selling point and as I fell for it and bought the season pass, SURPRISE SURPRISE Rooney is NOT THERE!! Still no fix for Manager Career saves removing Icon/Heroes, still Kickoff saves keep resetting and NOW another new issue. I might quit FC if these things don't get fixed :(293Views6likes2CommentsMidfielder backtracking
After they made midfielder backtracking on defense very weak at FIFA 22, Now it come back strong, even though FIFA 22 make it easy to score goals, I prefer this game's setting, for midfielder backtracking on defense, it just feels better, maybe because it promote realism, mimicking real live football game, Thanks DEV,6Views0likes0Comments
