  1. The points being limited is very annoying.. you play 2 seasons and max out at 25 then what? I play CAM n I’m stuck at 90 overall. It’s not that serious let’s max out at 99 so it can be fun ‍♂️.. and let us choose the team we want to be transferred at like seriously let the game be fun ‍♂️.

  2. I would love for traits to be added into the development system. Traits are rare within youth players, but the best players in the world often have several traits. It would be cool to add traits to the development system so young players can get more as they grow.

  3. Player career mode needs contracts and contract lengths so players can become free agents and choose clubs that want to sign them. Contract negotiation cut scene could be added as well.

    Requesting a transfer and actually getting transferred is still so bad. I’m done getting stuck in a league 2 club despite being rated 86 and no one can afford me. The only fix to this is intentionally dropping your rating so that other clubs might actually sign you.

    Wages can be linked with how quickly a managers favour drops. A higher paid player is expected to start and only be dropped if form is really bad as a opposed to a lower wage player who needs to gain manager trust more

  4. The biggest issue right now with career mode are the AI transfers and AI lineups.
    First the transfers: it seems as if they program “needs” for each team, for instance Dortmund is looking for a RB. But once they acquire one world class player in that position, they don’t stop. For the 3rd year they have 6 or 7 world class right backs! An algorithm that limits the number of players per position and which tries to preserve the OVR and Age average of that line would fix this (plus minues some range to allow AI teams to improve or get worse).
    AI lineups: some better logic is needed here, i still cant figure out how FIFA messes this up so badly, but by season 3 Bayern has 6 quality CBs and they still play with A. Davis as RCB, and listen to this Lewandowski as a winger! He’s 35 now, I mean come on.

  5. I’ve been playing sports games for decades and FIFA 22 is the best I’ve played. I really like some of the ideas above.
    From my point of view, I’d like to see the following:

    1) More manager development/progression and customisation. The manager character/avatar needs more progression and trophies and unlocks to increase relevance and buy-in. A lot of the golf games do this well.
    It’s only a small thing, but it builds ownership. Do I want to unlock a new pair of shades or trainers if I go on a five game winning streak?Or buy a new car/house if I get a new contract?
    Yes.
    Yes I do.
    Could you choose to do The Journey starting off as a young manager?

    2) Hiring coaches. We often see management teams where a manager will stick by trusted coaches, analysts and scouts. Football Manager does this well. Do I have to do every training session, or could I communicate what I want done and trust my First team/Head coach to carry out my instructions? Youth team coaches too, while u think about it.

    3) Chief Scout. I’ve got 6 first team scouts and three youth scouts. That’s a lot of info and trawling through it slows the game down. I need to have a chief scout who can distill all the info to me in a nice neat package. How well the info from the chief scout can be trusted depends on his/her ability.

    4) I like the idea of social media posts being a par of the game. Football Manager does this well. It can pile pressure on, especially when playing rivals.

    5) Along the same path, media rumours about potential signings and so on can be a lot of fun, even (especially) if they are completely wrong at times.

    6) Pre-match and half time team talks. Keep it simple, with the system already in use for the interviews and player chats, i.e. praise, calm, angry etc.

    7) We need more Scottish lower leagues, even if it’s just the Scottish championship. Remember, both Andy Robertson and John McGinn were playing there not so long ago, and they’ve not done too badly. I’d love to find the next hidden gem from there. If you’ve got the English lower leagues, them it’s only fair you include the Scottish ones too! Remember we invented and refined the game in its early days! 🙂

    Ok, that’s me done.

    Keep up the good work!

  6. Hi EA,

    You need to focus on career mode in the next fifa 23, because it is not good. You can see you guys don’t spend that much time on it. Fifa career mode is getting badder and badder players are playing striker in stead of center back. Add more stuff in it like social media, al lot more cut scene’s, i got a lot to say about stuff you need to put in. But just fix your career mode is not fun is always the same

  7. My career mode players need to be able to negotiate contracts. This will make the game more interesting. Or nobody will buy it for 23 because it will be the same game.

  8. I have some suggestions for fifa 23’s career mode

    Already, the fact that we can sign with brands, it would bring us money if in exchange we accomplish challenges imposed by the brand

    Value the Ballon D’Or a little more, we are still talking about the most prestigious trophy in football! Add more cutscenes, realism, public reactions like comments on social networks, press articles made by journalists, public figures who do not hesitate to criticize our player….

    As for the African leagues, we are still waiting for the CAN, the CAF, the Moroccan, Algerian, Tunisian and Egyptian league that have always had their audience and do not cease to make themselves known with their clubs, their ultras… These licenses can be very interesting and can bring a lot to the game!

    And don’t forget the Club World Cup too! Which would be in parallel with the African competitions

  9. It would be nice to have like a little academy season in myplayer mode to like raise your stats,value and wether you get moved to the first team or sign elsewhere

  10. Ability to upgrade the stadium

    Kit sponsorships

    Commercial sponsorships

    Stadium sponsorships

    Hiring staff

    Start off without a youth scout and normal scout already hired with youth players and players in the scout report

    Womens career mode with the ability to become manager of a women international teams.

  11. I mean no disrespect here when I say this, the posts are great and all but let’s be real here. All EA cares about is Ultimate Team 🙁 . When it comes to Career Mode. Their light years behind 2K. We can cry and moan all we want but even if they even bothered to view these comments by some miracle. We’ll still come back here next year making the same requests again 🙁

    Personally though, I would have loved for ‘The Journey’ features to replace Career Mode entirely. We could even have Agent Mode, Referee Mode, Manager Mode, Pundit/Journalist Mode and even Owner Mode all for both the Mens and Womens Leagues. This would form a whole new repackaged Universe Story Mode filled with cutscenes where players, manager and owners could make decisions on which brand deals to sign, which interviews to give, which club contracts to sign as well as which apartments or houses to buy. I recall that in The Journey both Alex Hunter and Danny Williams had options to buy new houses, hire new agents and create personalised brand images. Why not bring those back?

    The Social Media feature should also return too!! Honestly Career Mode is still not attractive enough and its a shame!!!!

  12. I really like playing fifa 22 career mode but it will get boring after a while, something came into my mind and maybe you guys will love this idea. Like after an important match that the player/team gets interviewed, and by transfers more attention to the player and thoughts from the team. I would play it with so much enjoyment and it will be more fun

  13. Hi Ea sports,
    I expecting for the carreer mode to be expand like story mode, multi choices conversation that individually try to speak in press conference. Include legends player as football manager. Fights between managers and referee cause of VAR.

  14. I feel that there should be team talks in the dressing room before every match to increase the morale of the players.

  15. Be able to play in kit off with classic kits and teams.
    Also able to do a custom season where you can put legends in you club
    Eg real madrid with the galacticos

  16. I would like to see this on fifa 23 when a new manager goes to a new club I want to be able to pick your coaching staff

  17. •Coefficient ranking: There needs to be a league system to show which country is ranked where. It’s very simple to add. The game simply finds out which teams do the best in Europe and it affects the ranking. It can be as simple as getting 5 point for each stage a team reaches in the UCL (groups, knockouts etc) and getting 1 point for qualifiers. This can be reduced of UEL and UECL.

    •Multidisciplinary team: this is important in football. We need to be able to pick youth team managers, medical staff, assistant coaches, coaches, sport scientists etc. I’m tired of starting a career with Burnley and suddenly after 2 seasons I have £100m in the bank. Although clubs do earn that money, a lot of the costs goes towards wages and club management.

    •Realistic Financial Situaions: I think each club should have a status and owner personality. if a clubs owner is not mega rich, then this should mean not much money is funded and that the owner actually takes some of the profits whereas a super rich owner means the club don’t take the profits. When prize money is won, it should be spread into sections such as: player bonuses, staff bonuses, player wages (including youth), yearly maintenance for facilities etc. for a poorer club, the percentage of income being used up to run the club should be high such as 70%-90% (even 100%-110% for lower level clubs) whereas for better teams this is low plus their income in general is higher. This makes career more realistic and offers a bigger challenge for users to do a RTG. Depending on financial situations a club has goals. Although we have it in career mode, the issue is I can manage a club with high financial aim and low success but even if I blow the whole budget on wages and transfers and don’t achieve the financial goal but overachieve in the league, there is no consequences. There needs to be realistic consequences. For example for a relegation level club such as “if you overspend, the clubs expenses rises over 100% which means no money will be available for transfers, renewals and even club day to day spending. Either the club qualifies for Europe or the club must generate a certain amount I.e player sales otherwise the club could go into administration and the club will have a points deduction.” Sponsorships needs to be added back. This depends on what players you have, where you are, how successful you are, how big of a club you are.

    Having different types of skills for players and staff: in fifa, logically if you have a full 99 rated team, you will win everything however it’s evident that even the best of teams don’t win everything. To add a different dynamism, I think a manager needs to have a skill set and personality for example a calm manager, strict manager etc and a good coach, good tactician, good transfer tactician or good motivator etc. these skills are different and a manager can only be specialised in one. Depending on the club, a manager is specially suited for one. Eg pep is world class but needs the funds to do well. Also player personality eg hungry for success, wants to improve, settled at the club and happy to get a pay check, motivated by fame, happy to be a squad player etc this should all matter. A players personality can change but this affects development etc a lot. Also team chemistry is key. Clubs should also have a status eg history makes a huge effect of the club. For example despite leicester getting Top 6 for the last 2 seasons, they weren’t bigger than arsenal due to history, finance, etc. status’s such as “world wide fame” etc should be added.

    More ability to change club infrastructure. I understand maybe for legal reasons a clubs stadium can’t be change however surely seat expansion, training facility improvement, increase or decrease ticket prices etc should be added.

    I think these 5 changes are key and adds a different dynamism to the game.

  18. You Should Add a co-op feature Where you can play online with friends simulator ti the one in the F1 game Where you can only progress When the other player is asswell

    1. i think that the stuff that fifa 22 has in its xbox serise x and ps5 should go onto the normal one and i think that icons should be in carere mode like how nba 2k does

  19. you should add more leagues like the egyptian premier league and mak a city in career mode and make money in my player buy houses and pet and cars make it have more points to upgrade your and make your player talk to the manager and make the player have kids if he wants

  20. Something so simple but would genuinely make playing games more enjoyable: licensed in-game broadcasting packages for the EFL, the FA Cup and cinch Prem. It would make RTGs with, say Salford City or Forest Green, or saves with Rangers, Celtic, etc so much more realistic and feel more professional; the default graphic just isn’t doing games. Also they had the license for the FA Cup back in FIFA 18, and that was so much more fun.

  21. I think that in player career mode you should get a better farewell when you retire like a cool animation just to be more realistic instead of a simple letter

  22. Man sollte bei dem Spielerkarrieremodus mehr als 25 Leveln haben. So das es nicht mehr aufhört und das man immer besser werden kann.

  23. idk i want a lot of leagues and lower divisions of countries, and for possibly a world cup mode (or the game) there should be all 211 teams

  24. More cut scenes. Like for example when you are training with the squad, add the field where u train and eat after training. Stuff like that, also like the journey where scouts are watching. Just many more nice cut scenes, also after the game is done when you walk into the dressing room.

  25. Jedna velmi důležitá připomínka ke hře fifa kariera problém Stadion: Naprosto vůbec není vytvořena možnost jsi postavit Vlastní stadion. Ale pozor! . Nejdříve výběr místa kde se bude stavět, potom koupě pozemku pod stadionem, následně vyprojektovat stadion a vysoutěžit firmu která bude stadion stavět a jako poslední samotná stavba stadionu. Tohle je potřeba vložit do fify 2023 kariera. Je to naprosto nutné! a ke všemu musejí probíhat tiskové konference!

  26. Player career mode contract negotiations,
    contract length and value. Be able to leave on a free transfer. Make it possible to achieve a higher overall rating like in previous fifa player career modes, more chance of captaining your club and country and winning player of the
    year awards. Longer career mode that may c you having to downsize contracts. Sold to a smaller club. Released on free transfer

  27. I think that when choosing to manage a team in career mode, you should be allowed to keep the existing real life manager, if you want to. Like if I play with Barca, I can choose to keep Xavi or create one. Also, there should be at least an U20 World Cup. A few more items: include the Club WC, Copa America, Afcon, Nations League etc. Allow coaches to argue and get red cards. Hostile fans at away games. Sign sponsorship deals.

  28. In coach career mode/create your own club, when editing the team’s home and away kit it would be great to have the option to add a sponsor on the shirt (from the ones already in game). The shirt looks empty without a sponsor.

  29. – I was hoping there could be more interaction in the MyPlayer mode. Maybe make it something more realistic like the 2k city for NBA 2k. Perhaps add something like you can buy houses, cars, planes, luxuries with your player’s salary. I want to be able to do more with my earnings and make it better. I think something like this would make it more fun and attractive.
    – Maybe include more face-scanned players
    – Return more national teams. I don’t know why EA took away national teams. I think there are some other popular and historical teams that could be added.

    1. i would love to se referee career mode and maybe add more choises in your myplayer career and also maybe have a story mode like fifa 19 that would be amazing!?!???

      BRING BACK STORY MODE THE MOST GOATED MODE IN FIFA HISTORY

  30. 1. Es soll mehr Pokal Wettbewerbe geben, da es viele Ligen ohen Pokal und ohne Champions League gibt z. B. die Mexikanische League.
    2. Es sollte eine Club Wm geben.

  31. 1. Mehr Nationalmannschafts Spiele, also Nations League und so
    2. Das man eventuell auch Nachfragen kann bei den Nationalmannschaft, ob man dort Trainer sein darf, also bei Karriere.
    3. Mehr News, Interviews, besser Siegerehrungen, mehr Awards für Spieler und Trainer
    4. VAR
    5. Schiedsrichter Karriere
    6. Mehr Bus, Kabinen und Seitenbank Szenen also das man sich als Spieler da aufwärmen und als Trainer mir den Spielern redet.
    7. Bei Interviews soll man auch die eigene Stimme hören.

  32. 1. Spielern und Trainern Tattoos geben.
    2. Begalos.
    3. Lauteten mehr Gesänge der Fans.
    4. Mehr Awards für Spieler und Trainer.
    5. Der Trainer soll mehr in den Vordergrund kommen bei der Siegerehrung und so.
    6. Medaillen bei Siegerehrungen.
    7. Mehr Kabinen und Bus Szenen.
    8. Schiedsrichter Karriere.
    9. Privates Leben als Spieler, Trainer und Schiedsrichter, also Haus, Autos, Familie und so.
    10. VAR

  33. 1. Es soll Medaillen bei Siegerehrung geben.
    2. Mehr Awards für Spieler und Trainer.
    3. Mehr persönliches Leben.
    4. Als Spieler soll auch der eigene Vertrag ablaufen.
    5. Es soll Szenen geben wo der Schiedsrichter den Videobeweis benötigt.
    6. Es wäre schön wenn man eine Schiedsrichter Karriere machen könnte.
    7. Es wäre schön, wenn es mehr Kabinen Szenen geben wird.
    7. Co- Trainer Karriere.

  34. In career mode, can it be made that when you start a career, the club signs you to a contract (3-5 years)? I’m having an issue where my created player’s value is too high ($205,500,000). This means I can not transfer out of the club I start in, which can get a bit boring after so many seasons in a small league. If the player was signed to a fixed term contract, it would allow them to not re-sign with that club and become listed as a free agent, this could let the player move to another club without costing a new club that players true value.

  35. There should be all time stats and records that may change as you progress in your career mode. Such as most goals in premier league history. It would be cool if a player could beat a record like alan shearers scoring record

  36. player career mode – New Hair Styles and you see the player going to the advert and sign for them like Nike or Adidas . You can see the player or manager signing the contract
    Manager Career Mode – create a club by customise your own kits you like , Crest and write your own song of club and the amount of money to increase to 100 Trillion, Photo of The players lifting the trophy and club legends added to the game and Ballon dor entrance like real life and finally add more national team coz fifa 22 removed 19 Nationality in the game and add Ukraine

  37. 1. In my player career mode you should be allowed to choose which club you want to transfer to instead of the AI choosing for you and also we should have a cutscene where you get to negotiate your contract when signing for a new club and also contract renewals.
    2. In your create your club career mode you should add a third kit customization and also the goalkeepers kit customization and when choosing a crest the name of your created club should be on crest
    3. Also you should add more African hairstyles in the game
    4. So far so good the game is good but we you can do better EA

    1. exactly so, especially normal contracts and for example an agent who negotiates with the clubs I want to go to, as was the case in PES 2013

  38. Provide celebrations for ballon d’or/player of the year award, like 25 seconds of the ceremony or something of that sort. Play players in correct positions I dont play fifa 22 because all the players on my player career mode are played out of position and the game becomes garbage. Allow more contract abilities like signing for certain amount of year instead of always requesting transfers, instead have contracts that run out and you can sign as a free agent.

  39. Allow me to initiate loaning my own players out in career mode. If I am in control of Chelsea or another big Premier League club and I want to loan my players out to a League One or Two club I should be able to approach them to offer that player up to ensure proper game time. Also, a designated “Loan Screen” where I can track loan player stats and form regardless of what league they are in.

    Also, a U-19 or U-23 team. I’m tired of Youth Academy players demanding to be promoted to the first team and then sitting on the benching at not playing because they aren’t good enough. In real life there is an in between.

  40. Exective/Director/Owner mode where you act as the one above the manager. Its cool recreating yourself as a manager and diving in but what about taking control of the whole operation. Here you can create yourself as an executive, and hire a manager. There can be an option to then either create a manager,or take control of your selected club with the current present manager. Also be able to sack your current manager and try to poach a manager from another club by buying out his contract or hiring one who is jobless after being sacked.

    This brings a point where managers from other clubs get sacked or bought out of their contracts. It would be cool to see other clubs changing managers in game.

    It would also be nice to be able to hire your backroom staff, such as assistant manager, coaches for each of goalkeeping, midfield, and forwards. Scouts and a youth coach.

    In the above mentioned executive mode, being able to choose a sponsor for a set period of time be it a two or three year contract where you get a set amount of funds for each game a bonuses for achieving special goals. Also this sponsor would be able to replace the current shirt sponsor. Also being able to fully customize or change kit at the end of each season.

    Also perhaps being able to upgrade stadium capacity.

    More interactive cut scenes. Halftime team talks. Being able to attend ballon d’or ceremony. Make it more enjoyable like a story mode feel but more open ended and not scripted.

  41. I think EA could put more effort in the career mode. I think they could add more scenes where you can attend the Ballon’dor ceremony. You have to get on a plane to the league you join and with your wages you can get cars and better hotels or houses. For manager mode you could add stadium extensions etc. Also give them more power so they can drive and in the press conferences with the options of what to say they could add a team talk at half time and before. The press could be outside of the stadium. Also EA please add Womens Career Mode. I know you need to make womens leagues but add it as soon as possible. Also add an owner mode where you can hire managers and suggest players to sign to the managers and if you retire from your player career and go straight to owner you keep your wage money. Thank you EA if you add any of this. P.S A referee mode wouldnt be bad

  42. the skill tree max rating on player career mode should change it’s annoying that you max out at level 25 and you should make it so we can grind until we reach 99

    1. Bro I’m saying‍♂️ It’s so annoying tht I’m stuck at 90 n all my teammates keep going to 94 95 like EA y’all okay?

  43. 1. More seasons.
    We currently have 15 they could increase to 30.
    2. Possibility to upload your own teams.
    I mean uploading the crests and t-shirts of our local teams, for example. Let’s say from the Polish-German district leagues, etc.
    3. Possibility to create a club, for example from the Red Bull group.
    We have RB Leipzig RB Salzburg Red Bull New York and there is no such team from the Spanish or Italian league, so it would be nice to create one.
    4. Stadium.
    The next one is related to the previous ones, i.e. the stadium, namely the possibility of building one according to your preferences or enlarging or changing the existing one. Change of the name and colors of the stadium. And related ticket pricing. Different prices would be for the Champions League and other, for example, for the Community Shield, and their sale could affect the budget of the club.
    5. Edition of Knits.
    In real clubs it is possible to change jerseys, let’s be honest, who will not get bored of playing Borussia for 10 seasons in the same jerseys. It is related to the point below.
    6. Possibility to change sponsors.
    It is extremely difficult and almost impossible thing, but how would it diversify the game. You could choose to sponsor Real Madrid, say Corone Extra, Jordan and Mercedes.
    7. Youth Teams.
    The Canadians have already added something like that, but it doesn’t make it crazy. Let’s take Real Madrid as an example again, we could be able to manage not only the main team but also, for example, Castilla or Juvenil A, and depending on how the youngsters manage, the possibility of transferring them to a higher team. Of course, the real players of these teams should be there. And if a young player is not able to play in the first team, then to make him available to this team from a lower level, it should have both positive and negative consequences.
    When ordering, there must also be their league and the possibility of playing matches with them and, for example, we play once, for example with the first team, and on the next day with reserves
    8. The ability to ask the board of directors for funds as it used to be but for some reason has been removed.
    9. The trophy room.
    An interactive space where we can see a physical representation of everything we’ve won in, say, a cutscene
    10. Club legends.
    When a player retires from your club, you can mark them as a “club legend”. This will put their names on a list in the trophy room that you can view. He also starts a video of the retirement ceremony that takes place before their last game at home. Possibility to leave them a monument in front of the stadium or a slab in a cube.
    11. More leagues.
    Russian Croatian Uruguay Greek Hungarian Serbian Czech Belarusian Bulgarian
    12. Press Conferences.
    More precisely, more questions, not the same questions over and over again.
    13. Choosing your coaching staff. Manager assistant, youth trainer, fitness trainer etc.
    14. Much more cutscenes. Pre-match, where the coach explains to the players the tactics of how to play in a given match, after buying a player, e.g. how to sign the contract, how to hold the team jersey, then how to go out on the pitch and do some juggling trick, for example. How he visits the trophy rooms and the possibility of taking a screenshot there, for example. Possibility to choose which player we will take to the pre-match conference.
    Scenes from outside the world of football, player signing fan autographs, players on the bus before the big game, players on TV shows.
    How the athlete wins the golden ball, the golden shoe. The title of the best young player and the coach, e.g. the coach of the season award. Cutscenka will also win the prizes of the coach of the week and the player, for example, the player of the week, series a or premier league
    15. Possibility to determine the captain’s hierarchy and on what principle it is to work, i.e. to determine that the captain is the one who has the most matches played in the club or who has the greatest overall, etc.
    16. Possibility to edit real players, i.e. change Haland’s hairstyle or give him some tattoos.
    17. Super agents such as Mino Raiola, Jorge Mendes and Pini Zahavi appear in cutscenes when they sign a contract with a high-profile player.

  44. Career Mode Extension – Act as Real Manager

    Please add: Infrastructure & Stadium extension, Fan development, and so on – like NHL. It should always be possible to do it yourself or let a co-manager do the stuff.
