They're not going to be as revolutionary as they're making it seem, but there are some positive changes to career mode.

Some somewhat cool things on manager customization/morale, but dynamic player potential is the big takeaway here IMO. Also, seems like they've made adjustments to address unrealistic fixture congestion and AI not starting good lineups in big matches.

quote:

One of the heavily-requested improvements to the way players develop through each season was to have their potential change based on their performance.

Potential for players within your own squad will evolve over time based on the players’ performance in the previous season. Scored a lot of goals with a young prospect in his breakthrough season? His potential will be even higher in the upcoming season. Kept a run of good performances going with an older player close to retirement? His potential will be higher in the upcoming season which means that the decrease of his attributes will stall for a longer period of time.
Potential will decrease if a player hasn’t been performing well in the previous season or he hasn’t received enough playtime so you must ensure high promising starlets put in the work to achieve their potential.

Dynamic potential is good but they desperately need to have dynamic weak foot and skills and the ability to see these stats in scouting. Nothing worse than scouting and signing a guy that looks like a future superstar only to have to cut him loose upon signing him because you find out he has 1 star skills or weak foot.

Volta mode is the only thing that has a chance of suckering me in since I loved the most recent FIFA Street and pretty much every EA Sports ________ Street title (NBA Street Vol 2 da GOAT).

That sounds all well and good, but will that dynamic work if you send them out on loan? Otherwise it'll be another year of not even bothering with loaning young players out.

Won’t buy the game again until manager mode is any better and I see it in person.

Yikes, just read dynamic potential is only for players on the user’s team. If they are on an AI controlled team the potential is hard set.

They've updated Pro Clubs. The changes seem solid, but it's still EA.

Some of these look good on paper but you just know they’ll be some classic EA frickery with how it’s actually implemented.

Still don't understand how they haven't implemented an online career mode. NCAA Football had online franchise about 10 years ago and FIFA still hasn't done it.

Been playing on EA Access. The gameplay feels better this year for sure, though there are some AI defensive issues that crop up.

The Career Mode fixes we were promised (better AI rotation, schedule congestion) haven’t been fixed and the latter is actually worse. Also you can and will be sacked at the drop of a hat for overplaying a player or even giving him too low a release clause.

Overall needs a lot of work. We’ll see what the day one patch looks like...

I only play online seasons. Also only play with Leeds. Enjoying the game thus far. Already back to getting smoked by mexi league squads with severe lag.

Fifer, an individual known the FIFA community as a top tier modder, claims to have to have completely fixed all the issues with manager mode.



Supposedly this individual is not yet old enough to drive

only real complaint i have is lack of gear customization in manager mode.... but other than that, it's not terrible...

of course, i've been playing NBA 2K pretty much exclusively for about a month now, but i'm sure i'll eventually get back to FIFA at some point...

Picked this back up for the first time in a bit. I usually play on World Class but it’s either way easier this year or I’ve gotten better. Bumped it to Legendary but struggling mightily. Anyone have any tips?

USL is in talks with EA Sports and Konami about being part of FIFA or PES in the future.

Allegedly Fifa 21 will have "the biggest updates to career mode yet." We will see how that pans out.

Some changes were announced today
