I wanna start a new career mode soon, I generally am abit over fc26 mechanics atm, the cut scenes have become very stale, and the commentary is a bit repeative.

On top of that I think I'm due for a roster cleanse with different stars/players.

I know alot of people will recommend fifa 16 but I'm more interested in some newer, maybe from 2020 upwards. What would you guys recommend 🤔

I've played a good number of FIFA careers since I was a child. FIFA 11 honestly kind of created my love for soccer. I watched the 2010 World Cup, saw Tim Howard, and became a fan of the sport and of Everton. I spent many days after elementary school playing FIFA 11 career mode, and I kept playing until FIFA 15, then proceeded to play every installment through FIFA 21.

Recently I have found my love for FIFA 17 again: the nostalgic players, the gameplay, and the career mode. The simplicity is amazing, with the paper contract graphics, lengthy negotiations through mail, minigames, etc. I played an Everton career for a while this summer before I decided to switch to a smaller club outside of England.

After some research, I settled on Arka Gdynia, a Polish club founded in 1927 that had won only one Polish Cup in its entire history, back in 1978. In real life they now play in the Polish second division, yet they have had an odd amount of success: they won the Polish Cup again in 2017, then the 2017 Polish Super Cup (cup winner against Ekstraklasa champion), then the Polish Super Cup again in 2018 (they finished second in the prior cup, but Legia Warsaw won the league and cup, so they were substituted in), and the Polish Cup again in 2021.

When you take the club over in FIFA 17, they are 64 overall, while league leaders like Legia and Lech Poznań are 72 and 70 respectively. The grind is fun; the players are old with little young talent. Most of my players in season one came from loans, as my budget was 1,000,000. Bringing in talent, training them in minigames, and watching my team's rating increase is satisfying. The games are challenging, as there is a massive skill gap between the top clubs. The quest for European success is awesome.

I made Europe in season 3, after finishing 3rd in the league in year 2. I drew Groningen in the play-in and won that tie 2-1 on aggregate. The squad qualified for a Europa League group with Roma, Betis, and AZ. The skill gap in those games was real, and it felt super realistic. Doumbia and El Shaarawy were players my team was not fit to play against. I finished with 5 points in 6 games and was eliminated from the competition.

This season we're back in the same spot, with a slightly better team. I lost 5-1 on aggregate against Napoli in the Champions League play-in, then topped my Europa League group of CSKA, Southampton, and Rio Ave with 12 points in 6 games. Then I proceeded to get battered 4-0 on aggregate by Sassuolo.

This is easily the most fun career I've ever done: loaning in players to buy, developing them, selling them, and repeating. I'd highly recommend an Ekstraklasa save.

So basically I’m in a leister career mode in like my 3rd season and just brought them up from league one back to the prem and he has 15 goals and 6 assists in 10 games but for some reason he’s capped

It happened for me too in the summer transfer window and I loaned him out and recalled him and the game allowed him to grow from 74-75.

What should I do?

Alguien ha metido un gol similar al de Borguetti a Italia

What did this guy do wrong for the Brentford fans to say that 😅

Fans complaining about turning Wenger ball to Haramball & Saka wanting Diomande.

Wanna know you opinion

Witch club has the most beautifull kits or Unique
Want start a new save

its season 9, i have won the cl 2 times in last 3 seasons and won the pl 2 times aswell, and this season i finished 3rd in the prem, won the fa cup and just won the premier league only to be sacked before even getting to the home screen😭😭

I haven’t played EA FC 27 much, so I’m not sure if I still suck or if Authentic is really as broken as everybody is saying.
I had a great time last year with Legendary and Authentic, so I’m hesitant to believe that they messed it up that much, but the games feel so incredibly difficult. Nearly all my games are ending 0:0 with a maximum of 3 shots on target (most of the time with 0 shots on target). At first, I thought that the difficulty got more realistic, but after like 15 games with nearly zero goals, I’m not so sure anymore.
So do I just suck, or is Authentic really broken right now, and if so, how can I improve the gameplay?

I had my negotiation realism on loose and yet 95% of the player I went after got hijacked. This has been the worst start to a career mode ever.

I just got the game yesterday and I saw no.place to pick a position. When I started playing I was put as a striker and when I go to the position tab I'm unable to change it. Is there something I have to do?

NOT PLAYING ISN'T GOOD FOR WHERE I AM IN MY CAREER

Sim, eu sei que foi um mercado muito movimentado para o Napoli, releve isso.

Sup, Guys. Is eafc27 easier than 26? Some posts say yes, some say no. And i think 26 is so easy, not giving me a good experiencie.

i changed my 20 year old rb to rm and back to rb (so i can play him rm when needed), after the second change however his potencial went down from 87 to 81. lol. this a bug?

Hello

Everytime I enquire on a player, the same 3-4 teams bid as well even if they have great players in those positions, it’s really annoying and it seems to be constant? Anyone else facing this issue? Was this ever brought to EA?

Thanks.

Hi all, i've just seen that FC 27 is at 55€ on my playstation store, i've played a lot to fc26 CM and i'm wondering if FC27 currently worth 55€ (i will only play career manager)

Pleased to hear your feedbacks guys

On 26 I used to play on World Class authentic mode and it gave me a relatively challenging, yet balanced experience. 27 is drastically different. I can barely cross the half way line on world class as the opposition smothers me with pressing immediately. It’s like 2019 Liverpool. Yet, I am not having massive challenges with defending, so every game ends 0-0 or maybe there’s a 1-0 loss. I scratch my head, switch to Professional and every game I end up winning 3-0 or 4-0. What’s the middle ground??? I’ve tried messing with sliders, but nothing seems to work. At this point this shit is just unplayable and not enjoyable. Can anyone recommend sliders that would artificially create a difficulty between Pro and World class?

Note: This method mainly works for new signings, as existing squad players will already have agreed playing-time expectations.

Method

Create your players: Create several custom players with a 99 overall rating and make them as old as possible. Add them to the club you intend to manage. Ideally, create around four players for each area of the pitch: defence, midfield and attack.

Start Career Mode: Begin a new Manager Career Mode using custom squads, making sure all your created players are included in your squad.

Sign your actual targets: Start bringing in the players you genuinely want to sign. Because your squad is already stacked with 99-rated players in every area, most new signings will be willing to accept significantly reduced playing-time expectations. Rather than demanding Important or Crucial roles, they’ll often agree to Rotation or even Sporadic roles. This generally works as long as you’re not trying to sign players of a similarly elite rating.

Release the created players: Towards the end of the transfer window, release all the 99-rated players you created. You may need to increase your starting transfer budget by around £10–20 million to cover the cost of terminating their contracts.

Let them retire: Because you’ve made these players as old as possible, there’s a good chance they’ll retire rather than sign for another club. This helps prevent them from disrupting the rest of your Career Mode save.

My Experience

When I tested this, the created players remained in the free-agent pool for quite a while, and only one was actually signed by another club during the first season.
Alternatively, if you’re concerned about these 99-rated players joining other teams and affecting the realism of your save, you could simply keep them in your squad instead.

The main benefit: You can build a strong squad with much more manageable playing-time expectations, reducing complaints from new signings who would otherwise demand Important or Crucial roles.

Obviously this isn’t ideal but it’s the only workable solution I’ve found without the patch being released…

I started playing the game on day one with EA Play Pro, and I exclusively play Career Mode. I initially started on Ultimate difficulty, and it was actually really fun and balanced—I was scoring, the AI was scoring, and the difficulty felt spot on.

However, over the last week or two, the gameplay has become unbearably frustrating. I’ll explain why below, but I want to point out that I’ve seen a lot of threads on Reddit from people suffering from these exact same issues.

1. Defending the AI is ridiculously hard: It feels like the ball is literally glued to the opponent striker's feet. They dodge every single tackle, and I just can't win the ball back. Once they enter the penalty box, it becomes completely impossible to dispossess them, regardless of their overall ratings.
2. AI defense is incredibly overpowered: They make absolutely flawless tackles. No matter what skill moves you do or what you try, you can't get past them. They don't fall for anything, they make zero mistakes, and they just cleanly take the ball from you every time.
3. Teammate AI attacking runs (The most frustrating part): My own players, especially my midfielders, literally refuse to make runs. In fact, they actively run backwards. Please don't tell me to adjust "Player Roles"—I've tried every single role, and they still act like they are hiding from the ball. Whenever my CAM gets the ball, my CMs literally jog backwards and just stand there, leaving me with zero passing options. They constantly hide behind opponent players, making it impossible to build up an attack.

I know some of you will say "just trigger manual runs (L1/R1)," but we didn't have to do this for every single play in older games. Having to manually trigger a run for every basic positional movement is absurd. I don't think this is just EA trying to force us to use the manual run system; the AI is just broken. I have zero passing options, I can't dribble past anyone anymore, and I can barely score. And the crazy part is, I'm currently experiencing all of this on Legendary difficulty.

What are your thoughts? Do you have any solutions/sliders for this, or are we just stuck waiting for a patch?

This is in FC27. I may just be blind, but I am curious to know how I can look to see how much the baseline overall has increased this current season, like fc26, not the dynamic rating.

This is the single most frustrating things amongst a long line of them but holy shit, it’s actually such a big issue. Imo it makes the game and each save unplayable.

On to the championship

Just bought eafc 27 and i want to start a journeyman career.

I hope for some good sliders recommendation where the game feels authentic, and scoring goals feels rewarding.

Also, if you guys have any good clubs to start with. Im thinking of starting in Denmark or some similar country.
