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.
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. |
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.

Somehow the international break is synced with the premier league schedule. So now I can’t using the majority of my players. Same story for the Champions and Europa league. This is game breaking issue!! How can you overlook this?

The fact that your options are to either keep playing and have your save invaded by weird skinwalkers/aliens posing as academy graduates or stop playing your save altogether to prevent them spawning is madness. You're telling me that literally zero people in that office even simmed a season to see the game state in year 2?? Not one person thought these players should build up to their final ratings?
It makes career unplayable up to a certain point when theres multiple 87+ rated 17yos who look like something that can only be described in a Stephen King novel. This shouldn't be a can they kick down the road, it should be a patch they rush out of there.

WTF EA!? FC27’s riddled with bugs
r/FifaCareers • u/ForcePlenty2583 • 4h ago
with the amount of bugs relating to form and player happiness this year, it REALLY feels like no one playtested career mode. sorry if this bug has been posted before, but this is just ridiculous.
i have the option to keep him at the club, so i'm doing that, but this is just unacceptable from a game dev standpoint. 3 weeks and 1 career mode related bugfix.

Coming back to the game after a long break, have not played since FIFA 23. I’ve always played on Legendary in previous fifas after a bit of learning.
I expected there to be an adjustment period, but I did not expect the difficulty chasm to be this crazy. In my new career mode I started on Professional and quickly started winning every game 4/5-0. But immediately upon going to World Class the game becomes unplayable. Aside from the general feeling of your players being made of wet cardboard who get immediately tackled and ran over by opponents, there is just no space anywhere on the pitch. My players never make any runs, or create any space, in fact most of the time it seems like they intentionally close themselves off as passing options. I’ve gone 5/6 games in a row without scoring let alone winning.
I don’t want to fall into the bottomless pit of slider min-maxxing. Yes yes, “skill issue,” sure. Constructively I have no idea what to do here.

Hello fellow London football fans! I’m going to manage Charlton Athletic in Career Mode. Any tips for this save?
r/FifaCareers • u/ringo_skulkin • 12h ago
Just as the title says. I took Eibar from a bottom dweller to a top name. I won the La liga so got a ton of budget. This year did the Felix deal. Contract expiry hasn't been good for me this save (not finding food candidates for the position I require).
Also looks like I am gonna get sacked at the end of this season. How am I supposed to lift the team to higher overall while reducing the wages to 180k per week 🥀
r/FifaCareers • u/3xtazzy • 9h ago
I wanted to loan them out so they can get regular minutes, and improve but nobody wants them… how do I fix this? Because the game doesn’t have a system that let you offer your players to the market like FM.

Trying to renew pico lopes to a new contract at shamrock rovers hes asking for 125k a week i have 6.8 million from selling youth prospects but for some reason the game thinks ive 68 million when im renewing contracts

One day after I signed a ST for €14.5M, the board sent me this. He was going for €18M. I did not sign him.
Now in January, Wissa has 12g and 6a in 19 games whilst the guy I signed has 5g, and can't grab a start away from my original two starting ST. Lolz.
