MOD-POST Career Mode Bible | FAQ & Guides

253 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.

Damn so my scout found this young kid named “Dexter Morgan” He’s a good kid. But if it wasn’t for his knee injury, he’d make it pro. Btw I found this in career mode FC26 and I thought the odds of finding this was insane.

I always make substitutions when the ball goes out of play because I feel like the AI will score a goal if I make a substitution while the game is still in progress and force it through.

DISCUSSION FC 27 Career Mode Growth Profiles Revealed

348 Upvotes

Hey folks, we want to share something important with you today!

EA introduced Growth Profiles this year in FC 27 as part of the new player development system but never explained what these profiles actually are or how they work.

After a lot of testing and research we've uncovered all six growth profiles and put together a complete breakdown of how they influence player growth, peak years and decline throughout their careers.

Here they are:

  • Default: Steady development, peaking between ages 27 and 30.
  • Explosive Start: Rapid early growth, reaching peak ability between ages 22 and 27.
  • Meteoric Peak: Fast early development with a longer peak lasting from ages 22 to 30.
  • Consistent Performer: Steady growth and extended peak years between ages 22 and 34.
  • Complete Technician: Gradual development, reaching peak ability between ages 27 and 34.
  • Late Bloomer: Slow early growth, with peak years arriving between ages 30 and 34.

Players with the same OVR and Potential can follow completely different career paths. Playing time, training and performances can also influence their development.

These profiles are extremely important if you want to understand how your players will develop in your save.

For more details you can check our in-depth guide.

You can find the profiles of each player on CMTracker if you wish to plan your next signings.

Hopefully this will help you understand how this system works as EA didn't share much about it.

Either the player doesn't want to join or the club refuses to sell but then will sell to literally anyone else...

MEME Parents Day Race for who?!

My newly promoted youth player apparently tore his Hamstring at his child’s parents race despite just turning 18 so either he is the world most adequate parent that was approved to adopt, or, more likely, my boy has been getting freaky since Elementary School… either way, a special player.

DISCUSSION 1. Player retires mid European Championship (Kovacic)before our semi final game vs ITA and we get thrashed 3-0 & 2. I did a sub and the lad came on with his disappearing training bib on during the animation .

3 Upvotes

Euros in 2028 with Croatia while I was managing Man U . Went to the semi final despite getting 1 win in the group stage ( I play on Leg. W custom sliders) and I advance to the next season and Kovacic hands in his retirement with immediate effect and gets replaced by a young Regen (80+) , we get thrashed 3-0 because I build the squad around him being the main man in all our transitional play and then a lighter one I brought on a sub and he came on with his training bib which disappeared.

At this point I have been playing since Fifa 06 and I get the rage and banter but now I just take all of these glitches and stuff with a laugh off as I play offline exclusively just so no outside factors like wifi and not being able to pause the match or grinding for virtual one season wonders .

Whats some weird career moments that you had in any Fifa or FC title that you want to let us all get a crack off?

PROBLEM Stupid glitch with transfers/contract negotiations.

I keep having this problem where my menus scroll and click by themselves? I clicked on a player to accept a transfer and it automatically went down to decline offer and chose it by itself. Any controller settings i should be aware of to stop this

QUESTION Best FIFA

1 Upvotes

Good day here! I was always wondering- which of them all games since FIFA 14 gives a gamer the best experience- in terms of gameplay, players during the period, teams and most important- career experience. I recently started FIFA 19 on my PS5 and I just cant look at all those “FC”- not only because of the crazy AI mechanics seeing the invisible and only way through, but maybe because of the nostalgia and the players involved during this period.
Would be happy to hear your thoughts on your best career runs, grinding, and some ways to make it even more exciting and thrilling! Cheers!

QUESTION Are ratings too harsh?

2 Upvotes

I'm a bit conflicted on how I feel about the new ratings in career mode I feel that with the new dynamic overall they seem a bit harsh considering if a player doesn't get above a 7 they're in poor form. I've had a player score 4 goals and have a 8.2 rating where a defender on the other team is man of the match with a 8.5 rating. Does anyone actually know the metrics for high ratings this year?

SUGGESTION FC 27 ultimate difficulty vs cpu , even with manual passing is easy?

0 Upvotes

​

Hi all , the Ultimate difficulty vs cpu in FC27 even with manual passing, precision shooting, Custom handicap sliders ( high points slider advantage for cpu in many sliders like acceleration, speed , reduced pass and shot error etc ) , competitor mode off , player based difficulty on , tactical cpu is easy .

It is very boring and I don't feel the motivation or drive to play FC27 because the cpu is easy despite all the settings.

The cpu literally runs into us and easily loses ball, and it is very easy to win ball from their feet ( despite having user tackle assistance to freaking 1 ).

Are many of you finding the same easy issue ?

Or else is it that I am a world champion skilled player ?

Kindly help me find the best settings and sliders ...

Not sure if I’m missing something here. I just got the game and this is my first save.

I’m trying to get this player, he accepted the transfer offer and also the wage offer. But when I go to actions, the only action I available to me is decline…

Any fix to this? I’ve tried to quit the game and come back and it’s still same problem.

DISCUSSION Loving the new aggressive AI

12 Upvotes

The AI in FC27 is mental, I love it 😂

3-2 down against Man United in the Champions League and the AI had a complete meltdown, had 3 players sent off and I managed to score 8 as it didn't make any defensive substitutions.

All of them straight reds for bringing down players through on goal.

Still managed to concede 2 though somehow...
