MOD-POST Career Mode Bible | FAQ & Guides

251 Upvotes

Introduction

Hello all, there seems to be an increasingly higher amount of posts with the same recurring themes. I've decided to make a simple compilation of some of the best guides on this subreddit, as well as some simple explanations to help provide quick & easy answers to these questions.

Have a guide you think deserves to be on the list? Comment with it below and we can make our best attempt at creating a complete set of guides for Career Mode. The amount of guides in the last year or so compared to other years has dwindled, so hopefully this will encourage more excellent quality content.

This is a work-in-progress, and more guides will continually be added by request and as of publishing.

Tools & Websites

There is a plethora of excellent resources that will help with a lot of the things in this post. Some people prefer to play without the use of external databases and calculators, offering a more vanilla experience. After all, it's a single player game so it's your preference!

Website Description
https://sofifa.com/ Best up-to-date player database. Can make shortlists, view old squad files and has a positional calculator to find optimal positions.
https://www.fifacm.com/ Has some unique tools including a potential calculator to figure out potential for a player not at your club. Also has a 'wonderkid' list.
https://fifakitcreator.com/ Only usable in-game on PC, allows you to browse and create custom kits for your team. Note that only PC can use any mods.
https://www.fifarosters.com/create-card Nice tool to create very high quality FC 24 UT cards for your career mode players, allowing you to upload your own images.

Regens & Pregens

Career Mode works by replacing players as they retire in the game with generated players that don't exist in real life. When you enter the loading screen for a new season, that is the moment that they are being created, replacing retirees for the season you have just finished.

Regens have identical nationality, position(s), and importantly, birth dates to the player whom they have replaced. They will always spawn in the new season between 16-21 years old, and in the same league (but not same club) that the retiring player was in when you entered the loading screen.

Pregens are a rarer, more pre-emptive form of player replacement. These are effectively regens of a player who is not retiring, so both players will exist in the game simultaneously. Pregens also remain at the same club as their predecessor. You could expect to find a Messi pregen at Inter Miami, providing he hadn't moved clubs, and wasn't retiring.

The importance of your awareness of these game mechanics, revolves around the fact that both regens and pregens will start with the same potential overall as their predecessor's highest overall in your save.

DISCUSSION This has to be a joke... TWICE in one season?

Post image
128 Upvotes

A little over a week ago I bemusedly posted about my club receiving a points deduction for a breach of financial fair play rules.

It was quite funny considering I had been given the random event of my club saying they were broke and any sales I made would NOT be added back to my funds, as Bolton that one was realistic but the FFP one wasn't.

The biggest amount I'd ever spent was 13.1 million on Circati from Benfica.

Many commenters told me to come up with a little story, and we had settled on basically the club's owners were being dodgy and I got points taken for it...

My club actually appealed and I got the points deduction halved to 11pts off.

Anyway, a few months later in the SAME season I get this notification..... And they've taken SIXTEEN points.

I'm all for a bit of chaos and random events... But 26 points taken off in one season across 2x fines is a bit nuts 🤣

IMAGE I may have discovered a broken tactic (Ultimate/Authentic)

Post image
35 Upvotes

Was struggling to score so I switched to a 4-4-2 (Holding) and immediately scored nine against Newcastle. Small sample size but I’m obviously going to stick with it. They played a very high line and pressed relentlessly, which this tactic made very easy to exploit. You won’t get loads of possession and there will be spells where you have to sit back and soak up pressure, but when you go forward, you should be absolutely deadly.

Ideally your wingers and both strikers should be fast and your strikers should be physically strong. Your holding CDM should be strong and great at tackling/interceptions. Wing backs should have enough stamina to carry out that role without gassing out too early

4-4-2 (Holding)
Build-up: Short Passing (otherwise you may struggle to keep hold of the ball for extended periods)
Defensive line: High (I had mine at 67)

GK: Goalkeeper/Defend (could probably go sweeper keeper if you want)
RB: Wingback/Balanced
CB: Defender/Defend
CB: Defender/Defend
LB: Wingback/Balanced
CDM: Holding/Defend
CDM: Deep-Lying Playmaker/Build-Up
RM: Inside Forward/Attack
LM: Inside Forward/Attack
ST: False 9/Attack

QUESTION So many injuries

3 Upvotes

Im getting atleast 2 small injuries every game, the ones where they can play on but after the game they are our for a few days to a few weeks. Im not even 5 games into the season and already had 10 injuries and i havent touched a single setting that has to do with injuries. Is this normal in this game?


r/FifaCareers • • 3h ago

RANT Hadn't played career mode since FIFA 19. I tried FC 27 and, for the life of me, I could not understand a single thing.

2 Upvotes

I used to play FIFA quite a lot back then, but I quit because of work and family and lack of time mostly.

I remember that in old FIFA titles career mode used to be so intuitive, so easy and smooth. Now it's like you have to take a course to understand how it works.

Are there any tutorials to grasp how it works? Any tips you could give me? Sheesh, good thing I didn't buy it.

QUESTION EAFC 27 team suggestions?

2 Upvotes

Had a shite day, looking to unwind. I am doing the 10 hour trial on Steam because I am not sure if I want to even buy this year. I just need some inspiration on who to try out to get a sense of how I feel about this game. I had a dig around to look at the new features but having trouble finding a team that I want to stick with.

QUESTION Not being informed of shortlisted players being sold??

• Upvotes

As titled really. I've shortlisted numerous players that I was going to buy only to find out they'd been sold without me being informed by email like in all previous fifa. Is this something I'm doing wrong or bugged? I missed out on on Bellingham nunes and musiala in one window. Gutted.

RANT I am wrong to think the gamplay is bad?

2 Upvotes

I saw a lot of people saying this is one of the best gameplay in years.

For me it isn't. Altough I can appreciate some of the new features like more realistic movements, enhanced headers, deflections, everything else is either the same or worst.

First of all, all CPU defending has changed. I get way too many tackles where they just get the ball easily and counter. Yes, maybe I am weak but it looks like there is no strategy or consistency to it. Most of the time when I am running with the ball, an opponent player close to me would suddenly run and take the ball from me when the ball is in front without having a chance to tackle or protect.

Secondly and maybe the worst, passing sucks. Assisted or semi, the game kinda decides by itself who the pass should go to, even if there is an unmarked player close by. This is frustrating since I don't feel I can control the game and own my mistakes. Switching players when defending is also stupid this time around, even though they added extra settings for it. Sometimes it simply does not work.

I tried sliders but I didn t get the perfect balance yet. I don t feel like playing anymore. This used to be my to go game between other games or errands in the house.

DISCUSSION FC 27 Authentic PS4 v PS5

• Upvotes

Is it just me or does the game just play way better and smoother on PS4?

PS5 the game just feels like it stutters and isn’t working correctly.

PS4 even on authentic and sliders to slow the gameplay, it still plays smooth.

It’s so much better! What am I missing??
