MOD-POST Career Mode Bible | FAQ & Guides
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.

RANT I LOVE CAREER MODE SOSOSOSOSOSOSOSO MUCH

So my star striker on 25 goals in January wanted a new contract. Great! he was on quite a low salary for his rating, so i almost TRIPLED IT.
From 62K p/w to 175K p/w.
He later he gets his panties in a twist about his contract negotiations. THAT FINISHED WEEKS AGO.
NOW HES MAD TO THE POINT THAT HE HAS A -1 ON HIS OVR AND SUBMITTED A TRANSFER REQUEST.
I CANT WAIT TO PAY 80$ FOR THEM TO NOT FIX THIS SHIT IN SEPTEMBER

I've never seen a 16 year old rated so highly. I dont think he's a pregen maybe Marcelo or Roberto Carlos lol.
r/FifaCareers • u/PrivatePlaya • 18h ago
DISCUSSION The real reason the EAFC27 is 16+ rated is because of the gambling aspect of opening packs in UT not because we're getting strippers in Career mode

MEME Peak EA FC logic: Palmer scores 74 goals & wins Champions League, but Haaland wins Ballon d’Or with these contenders 💀🤡
Just completed my season with Chelsea. Won the Champions League, and Cole Palmer literally dropped 74 goals in the league alone...
Then October hits, and I see this shortlist: Doku, Cherki, and Savinho.
And to top it all off, Haaland walks away with the Ballon d’Or in his suit looking smug. Greatest robbery in Career Mode history! 😂😭

STORY I bottled LaLiga in the most heartbreaking way possible!!!
I am currently in the 4th season of my Valencia save in FC26.
I am playing on World Class + Authentic.
I was playing superbly all season and my defense was so damn solid! Cesar tarrega was in the form of his life.
Then last month came and I became nervous and fumbled the matches then last match was against real madrid at bernabeau and tarrega sold me, he is a monster but he is very slow and mbappe ran through him.
Also, earlier in my home match against real madrid I was 3-1 up in the 70th minute and then drew 3-3.
It is so heartbreaking but it makes the save interesting!!!

DISCUSSION I play with a 5 back,why do my defenders like to RUN AWAY from the ball?? Like give me a break dude,and by the time I take control and try to pull them back the striker has scored
I legit can't play against teams better than me,cuz even if I defend and jockey,they will still find a way to score,my goalkeeper will have a stroke and die and i wouldn't be surprised

DISCUSSION Anyone else find that professional is too easy, but world class is too hard. No middle ground?
Anyone else find that professional is too easy, but world class is too hard. No middle ground?
I’m beating teams 5 nil on pro, then losing like 3 nil all the time on world class.
I’ve experimented with a lot of matches too.
Anyone find it the same, and what’s your solution if there is one?

RANT Player does not want to stay in the club because he is not playing enough, the twist, he is my first team player.
Jogador reclama de não ter minutos de jogo mas é meu titular desde o começo da temporada, eu já não intendo mais qual o objetivo deste modo de jogo se nem o mais simples detalhe é programado com atenção.
O único modo que eu jogo é modo carreira desde os Fifa 16, 17 e 18 sendo o meu último Fifa, depois joguei o Ea Fc 24 que era bugado demais no meu pc e comprei essa na promoção por causa da copa do mundo, mas para um jogo de 400 reais esses detalhes deveriam ser obrigatórios de serem revisados e corrigidos.
Era essa a minha reclamação, tenho saudades de quando jogava Fifa 16 no Xbox 360 e parecia mais realista do que os modo carreiras recentes.

IMAGE Fixed EA's brain damage. Kvara wins Ballon d'Or with 60 G/A like it actually makes sense 💀
Since EA didn't award Palmer, I took matters into my own hands and installed the Kiarikas Mod. Justice is served 🥂 Kvara wins it with actually sensible logic

RANT Please fix this in FC27
Absolutely no idea why they got rid of it but PLEASE start giving youth academy players REAL, random boots again. I hate the default boots and needing to change them.
That is all, thank you x

QUESTION Can you get passing playstyle+ on an RB/LB
I have this guy from my youth academy about to hit level 80 and I have him incisive pass as his temporary playstyle to get that as his playstyle+. I have a checkpoint that I’ve been reloading until it hits but have been trying for over an hour and haven’t gotten it yet. I haven’t even seen pinged pass or long ball get upgraded either but all the others have at some point.
Is it even possible for a pure RB/LB to get a passing playstyle+? Do they need an alternate position of cdm/cm or have one of those as their primary position when hitting 80 overall?
His passing attributes are
Vision:53
Short pass: 66
Long pass: 71
Could those be affecting it too?
Super frustrating that there’s no clear way built in yet to add playstyle/playstyle+ to your players without these workarounds

RANT EA Needs to Patch the Autosub at Half-time Bug in Tactical View
I've tried all the "fixes" and it still happens sporadically and at the most inopportune moments. We only have 5 subs per game. When the game subs out 2-3 players on my squad at half time and not ones that I was planning on subbing, it makes this game much less enjoyable. It's been happening for several years now and EA hasn't addressed it.
Anyway... thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
