Which Career Mode should I choose?

Manager Career

In Manager Career, your main goal is to build a successful team, win trophies, and achieve your Club’s objectives.First, select Original for the standard Career Mode experience or Live if you want to jump into challenges.You can choose between:
  • Create New Manager: customize your own manager.
  • Play As Real Manager: select an existing manager from the football world.
Choose Manager Career if you want to manage a club, including its squad, tactics, transfers, finances, and player development.

Player Career 

Choose Player Career if you want to build the career of one player, improve their abilities, complete objectives, and work toward becoming a regular starter.You can choose between:
  • Create New Men’s Player: customize a male avatar and choose their Origin Story.
  • Create New Women’s Player: customize a female avatar and choose their Origin Story.

  • Select Icon Player: step into the shoes of a football legend and lead your team to victory.

How does Manager Live work?

Manager Live lets you start Manager Career scenarios with specific conditions, objectives, or situations instead of starting a traditional career from the beginning.You can use Manager Live to play challenges created by EA or the community.

How do Live Start Points work?

Live Start Points let you begin a Career using real-world league circumstances from different points in the football season.A Live Start Point can reflect real-world information like:
  • points totals
  • goals scored
  • transfers
  • cup progress
  • player form
  • injuries
  • suspensions
  • points deductions.

Transfer market tactics and financial management

Managing transfers and finances is essential in Career Mode, especially over long saves.

Transfer tips

  • Scout younger players with high potential to build for the future.
  • Use loans to give prospects regular match time.
  • Check free agents at the start of each season for low-cost squad depth.

Financial management

  • Monitor wages and bonuses to avoid budget issues.
  • Plan transfer spending around seasonal objectives.
  • Selling developed youth players can help fund bigger signings.
Smart financial decisions help keep your club competitive season after season.

Youth Academy basics

The Youth Academy remains one of the most effective ways to build talent.
  • Send scouts to regions that match your club’s style.
  • Promote youth players gradually to avoid stalling development.
  • Give academy graduates minutes to maximize growth.
Youth players can become key starters—or valuable transfer assets later on.

How do I set up my team in Career Mode?

Tactical Presets are pre-configured tactical setups inspired by modern football strategies that help you quickly organize your team. You can use them if you’re new to the game or need a starting point for creating your own tactics.Here are the base Presets to choose from.
  • FC Preset: a direct approach that focuses on breaking down defenses with quick and incisive attacking runs.
  • Direct Play: front-footed tactics that are all about recovering possession, getting forward, and putting the ball in the back of the net.
  • Cautious: a cautious approach that asks the team to prioritize limiting the opposition's chances rather than creating their own.
  • Custom: changing any setting in a Preset will turn it into a Custom Preset. 
All Tactical Presets are compatible with all formations available, but Custom Presets might come with incompatibilities.

How do I progress my Career?

Manager Career 

In Manager Career, hire Coaches to progress your Players. This will help decrease the time Players need to develop in specific departments.
  1. 1
    In the main Manager Career menu, go to the Squad tab.
  2. 2
    Select the Tactical Preset tile.
  3. 3
    Go to the Coach Management tab.
  4. 4
    Select the department you want to improve.
  5. 5
    Select Hire Coach, choose a coach from the Coach Market, and confirm your selection.
You can also transfer Coaches from this menu by choosing the Coach you want to transfer and selecting Transfer Coach. 

Player Career 

In Player Career, you can build up your Player Rating by completing Training Drills and Match Objectives. These will boost your score and prevent you from getting sent out on loan or getting put up for transfer.
