A new day, a new FC 26 deep dive has been released! This time, EA premiered the FC 26 Career Mode deep dive, revealing a plethora of new features coming to FC 26, which aim to revitalize the mode and make it the most immersive it has ever been.
It's been a very long time since Career mode received so many and so impactful changes, which left fans quite happy. The manager's career has been significantly improved in FC 26, with the introduction of Live Manager Career revolutionizing the mode.
Without further ado, let's take a look at everything the FC 26 Career Mode deep dive revealed.
FC 26 Career Mode Deep Dive Announces Huge Changes
The FC 26 Career Mode deep dive announced the introduction of Manager Live, the manager market, improvements to transfer and scouting logic, the addition of live manager challenges, archetypes, new origin stories for players' careers, and the brand-new authentic gameplay preset.
Manager Live is, without a doubt, the most impactful feature announced in the deep dive, as the authentic gameplay preset had already been revealed by EA. With this new feature, players can now experience new challenges that change on a weekly and monthly basis, always giving fans new things to experience.
The manager market is also a solid addition, as coaches can now change clubs. Managers can be poached by bigger clubs, choose to step down to pursue a new challenge, or enter the manager market to look for a new job when they are fired. It might not be game-changing, but it does add more realism to the mode.
Transfer logic, squad-building logic, and scouting logic have all been improved. The AI will now build a balanced squad, take into consideration the positions they need to strengthen, and sell players if they have too many for the same position. Furthermore, now it's possible to loan players who have just been bought in the current transfer window.
Developers tackled the AI lineup selection problem, as the CPU would often choose random lineups when facing real players. Now, the ASI will take into consideration the stage of the competition, future matches, and the importance of the match to select an adequate lineup.
As mentioned above, the player's career mode also underwent some changes. New origin stories were introduced, with players now having a total of four origin stories, and all of them are tied to different archetypes. The custom origin story option is still available.
The make-or-break addition to Career mode in FC 26 is the authentic gameplay preset. This is a simulation-based gameplay preset that aims to make the gameplay as realistic as possible. Passing will be slower, players will take longer to react, and there will be more rebound goals, among other things.
