I started at River Plate and did 2 seasons there I won back to back Copa Libertadores 1 league title 1 domestic cup and 2 Recopa Sudamericana's and just secured my first move to Europe which is with FC Porto

Anyone else having this issue with the creator customer manager live? I’ve reset my ps, checked my routers settings, deleted my profile, deleted squad data, turn fc on in offline mode and turned it back on to try to get it to work, nothing, even made a new career mode to the same result.

i didn't know football clubs were like that

(this game was Fifa 18: Legacy Edition)

This years career mode sucks and I read everyone saying it but I didn’t believe it.

Rn what’s pissing me off is the teams on top of the ladder and the captain is hitting me up every second day that the club is going nowhere.

Everyone I enquire about magically has interest from others

Had no injuries for most of the season, then genuinely 6 of my starting 11 get injured in 1 week

Players playing most games and then requesting to leave for gametime

All this amongst others, I’ve had my rant… what a stupid game

Proposal for EA SPORTS FC 27: An AI-Powered Career Mode

1. The Core Idea

I propose introducing an AI-powered assistant into Career Mode that acts as a sporting director and transfer specialist. Instead of simply providing recommendations, the AI would communicate naturally with the player, remember the history of the career, analyse the current situation, and influence the game world through meaningful decisions.

The goal is to make Career Mode more realistic, immersive, and dynamic without taking control away from the user.

2. Intelligent Player Interactions

The AI should be able to communicate with the user about transfers, contracts, playing time, player development, squad depth, and long-term club strategy.

Its decisions and recommendations should take into account:

Current player ratings, potential, form, and development.

Playing time, squad role, and competition for positions.

Contract length, wages, and transfer value.

The player's career history and previous decisions.

The club's financial situation, reputation, and ambitions.

These interactions should have meaningful consequences in Career Mode rather than being limited to generic dialogue or advice.

3. Realistic Transfers and Player Valuations

Transfer negotiations should reflect the actual situation of each player and the football market.

Player valuations should be based on relevant factors, including current ability, age, potential, performance, contract length, market demand, and the financial position of the selling club.

Transfermarkt data could serve as a reference for realistic market valuations, adjusted for the conditions within the game.

The system should prevent both excessively inflated and unrealistically low transfer fees. Clubs should negotiate according to the player's actual value and circumstances rather than accepting arbitrary offers.

The AI should also help identify suitable transfer targets, recommend realistic alternatives, and negotiate within the club's budget.

4. A More Realistic Free-Agent System

Free agents should behave more realistically and reflect the actual football market.

Their availability, ability, age, wage demands, and expectations should be consistent with their career circumstances. The system should avoid situations in which unusually strong players become available without a plausible reason or demand wages that make little sense.

Clubs should compete for suitable free agents, and players should consider factors such as wages, playing opportunities, club reputation, and career ambitions when choosing their next destination.

5. Coaching Quality and Player Development

The quality of coaching staff should have a meaningful impact on player development and training effectiveness.

Better coaches should improve the quality and efficiency of training, while weaker coaching staff should provide more limited benefits. Coaching quality should influence development without guaranteeing unrealistic growth or allowing players to exceed their established potential without a legitimate in-game reason.

This would make hiring and developing a coaching staff an important part of long-term club management.

6. The Manager Remains in Control

The AI should assist the user, not replace the manager.

The user must retain final approval over transfers, contract negotiations, wages, promises, and other major club decisions.

The AI should not independently change the starting lineup, tactics, or match decisions. The user remains responsible for team selection and on-pitch management.

The AI's role is to provide intelligent analysis, conduct approved negotiations, and create a more responsive and realistic career experience.

7. A Flexible Business Model

The AI feature could be offered as an optional paid service, with its pricing and availability determined by EA.

The Full Edition would retain its full standard price, while a Career Edition could be offered at approximately half the price of the Full Edition, subject to EA's commercial decisions.

The Career Edition would focus on Career Mode and could provide access to the AI-powered features. Players who already own the full game could choose whether to use the additional AI service.

A free trial period should also be considered so players can evaluate the feature before deciding whether to pay for continued access. The duration and conditions of the trial should be determined by EA.

8. Integration with the Existing Game

The AI should work with the data available in the current career save and respond to changes in the squad, finances, player development, and club objectives.

However, it should not be expected to automatically repair underlying game-engine bugs. Its purpose is to improve decision-making, interaction, and immersion, while technical problems with the game itself should be addressed through normal development and patches.

9. Expected Benefits

This system could make Career Mode more engaging by introducing more realistic negotiations, smarter squad planning, meaningful player interactions, and more credible long-term club development.

It could also create an additional revenue opportunity for EA through an optional AI service, although its commercial success would depend on implementation, operating costs, player demand, and the quality of the experience.

The main objective is to give players a more realistic and responsive football management experience while preserving their freedom to make the final decisions.

10. Intelligent Press Conferences and Media Interaction

Press conferences should become dynamic and meaningful interactions rather than repetitive dialogues with predictable answers.

The AI should understand the current situation at the club and generate relevant questions based on recent results, team performance, transfer activity, player development, injuries, tactical decisions, and club objectives.

The manager should be able to respond naturally and choose answers that reflect their actual intentions.

Media interactions should have realistic consequences for the club's reputation, relationships with players, pressure on the manager, and expectations from supporters and the board.

Questions and reactions should change according to the context of the career. The system should avoid repetitive questions and generic responses that have little connection to events in the game.

11. Meaningful Conversations with the Board

Interactions with the club's board should become more realistic, detailed, and responsive to the club's actual situation.

The AI should understand the club's financial position, sporting objectives, transfer budget, wage structure, results, youth development, and long-term strategy.

The manager should be able to discuss expectations, explain decisions, negotiate objectives, request additional resources, and respond to the board's concerns.

Board conversations should take into account the club's history, current league position, progress in competitions, financial performance, and available resources.

The board should evaluate the manager fairly and realistically, considering both short-term results and long-term development. It should not make arbitrary demands that contradict the club's financial capabilities or sporting situation.

These conversations should have meaningful consequences for budgets, objectives, trust, and the future direction of the club.

The AI should preserve the manager's final authority over team selection, tactics, transfers, and other sporting decisions, while allowing the board to exercise realistic oversight over finances and overall club objectives.

Final Vision

The AI should not merely tell the player what to do. It should understand the career, participate in its development, and make the football world feel more alive.

Career Mode should become a genuinely dynamic management experience in which transfers, player development, coaching quality, press conferences, board meetings, and club finances are connected and respond intelligently to the player's decisions.

The objective is not to replace the existing Career Mode, but to make it deeper, more realistic, and more engaging while preserving the player's freedom and control.

Hello, I purchased FC25 on the cheap, thank god, and it's a hot mess when it comes to player career mode (and probably more broadly).

What I'm left fuming a out are the following

1) My team, despite being on the up and up (picked Plymouth Argyle) and having made it into the premium league and getting steadily higher finishes and winning the odd cup, continue to buy awful players. I mean Wolves have Dembele but I'm stuck with Mr Random up front with a rating of 70????

2) I consider moving to a new club, but you want me to score 16 out of the box goals and also win 31 sliding tackles? My guy is a winger?

3) I have a banger of a game, score 1, 2 assists, 10 rating, the manager says he is not happy with my performance of late??

Seriously, this game feels like it was made by a bunch of interns at times. I think I won't be buying a new version of FC for a loooooong time. Fingers crossed a different software house drops a better game to force a bit of competition in the industry.

I've decided to start my career mode after the new update and most of the bugs being resolved...i need career ideas and new teams to manage

The speed of the game feels too quick even after messing with some sliders, how do I make it as close to a real premier league game as possible?

In the base game Arda Güler gets a "PlayStyle+" when playing as a CDM, but when I start a Manager Career Mode (whether it's live or not), he doesn't have it anymore. Why does this happen?

It is a known issue that hasn't been resolved. Is so annoying that you find some nice gems that would fit perfectly in your club. Nobody wants them. On my Valencia save I was collecting all the money I had to bring in Alejandro Francés. Perfect fit. No one was looking at him. So I was pushing for a lower price (below 8Mio Euros). Then Borussia Dortmund stole him from me for 10.5 Mio Euros 😠.

Well, from now on, I'll RPG this thing and pretend other clubs were already interested on him, but once I enquire I get formal information from the club that there are clubs interested in that player. It will make me less annoyed, so wanted to share thoughts here.

Bro, even if i signed a player mid season, 2 months later he wants to leave, this is genuinely so annoying, it just ruins the career mode. Players in real life spend there life being a bench player without playing, these dudes miss 2 games and all of a sudden they dont get enough play time.

Here's the scenario, I set up a scouting assignment for "technically gifted" and in the results I get one guy that says "technically gifted" under his portrait and another guy that says "winger" under his. They have green pawns showing where they play instead of yellow. Does this mean these guys are slightly better than all of the "unknowns" that also come up in the result?

Also, if these guys with the "winger", etc only have an OVA of maybe 93 instead of 99 are they still worth signing or am I just looking for 99's at all times?

A team for a new fascinating career mode? Thanks

Since in hearing FC 27 is a shithole im still on FC 26.

Im not a annual FC player. But on madden you can download user rosters, looks like there aint no feature for this on FC.

Given that the CPU is very effective at scoring and plays with high intensity, has anyone tried significantly lowering the "marking" setting while increasing the "defensive aggression" slider for the CPU? And if so, how does it feel?

new patch came today and literally nothing changed, my players who play almost all games r always complaining that they dont play even tho they do and keep asking to leave the team, this is one of the most dumb and annoying things they ever done to this game

I just win a cup final and I am not motivated enough??????
Keep in mind I'm still top of the league with 15 points gap

They refuse every time, even if I double the transfer fee and offer to pay everything up front instead of in installments. I know setting the deal to start next season is a workaround, but I’m just trying to see if there’s a way to make loan backs work.

So Im a few seasons in, managing Man City.

For a new upcoming season I sold Haaland, traded my Diomande + money to get Mbappe from Real M, and was forced to set Release Clause at 500.000.000, and paying him a whopping 950.000 weekly (as that was his previous wage and he would not go below that).

After 2 days Liverpool contacted him, paying the release clause, and Mbappe messages me saying he is open to new negotiations if I wanna keep him.

Turns out I cant because we literally signed him 2 days ago, so he went to Liverpool (lowering his wage to 520.000).

No matter tho, I just purchased him back for 250.000.000, and he agreed to wage of 550.000 as it was higher than current Liverpool wage.

So in 2 days my squad has not changed but I have made 250.000.000 and lowered the weekly wages by 400.000.

Anyone?

It was always baffling that after last season that he wasn't the highest rated player on the game, or at the very least, the highest rated striker. For a good 3 or 4 years, Kane has been the best striker in the world, yet they always favoured Haaland and Mbappe. Both rating wise but even in gameplay.

I wonder if Kane will finally get the plaudits he deserves from the FC rating team.

I have FC24 but I'm thinking of upgrading to 27 (when it's on sale) heard they're talking about some patches and fixes on a later date the one that's got me interested was talk about abolishing the 15 seasons cap which is a must but I'm not sure if it's actually true, sounds too good.. so feel free to correct me on this one if I'm wrong, also west ham's on the championship, so it gives me somewhat of an interesting career playthrough. What're your opinions?
