EA has now revealed the full pitch notes for FIFA 22 Career Mode, and there are some major changes to Player Career.
Some of these new features have been much needed for a long time so it will be great to finally see them in action.
Take a closer look at the new features coming to Player Career this season.
Super Sub
Something Player Career has been crying out for is the ability to come off the bench.
Some of the most iconic goals in footballing history have been scored by subs, like Mario Gotze in the 2014 World Cup Final and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in Manchester United's treble-winning season.
Coming off the bench will still come with match objectives.
These have been given a revamp too which you can see below.
Manager's approval
In all walks of life it helps to have the boss on your side, just ask Gareth Bale...
The new manager rating system shows you your manager's belief in you as a player and member of the squad.
Performing poorly and not meeting objectives will see your rating getting dropped, resulting in you getting dropped too.
Competition for places will be more fierce in bigger clubs too, so your margin for error is far less.
The Manager Rating system is also in place for your relationship with your nation’s international manager.
Match Objectives
The match objectives in Player Career have been given a complete overhaul, so they should be more meaningful this season.
The official notes read as follows:
1. Your playing position.
- If the formation of the team doesn’t include your preferred position, such as the CAM position in a 4-4-2 formation, the manager will look at your qualities in other areas of the pitch to determine which position will be best for you.
2. The quality of your team compared to the opposition.
- While things start off easy in pre-season, you could receive objectives of a higher difficulty range based on the quality of the opposition, or if you’re playing against a rival club.
3. The formation your team is using compared to the one of the opposition.
- If you’re a striker facing a strong defensive force in a 5-4-1 formation you can have a harder time scoring compared to a 3-4-3 formation, and FIFA 22 acknowledges that. The game also acknowledges your squad’s formation. If you’re the lone forward in the squad without a striker partner, you won’t receive any objectives to make assists.
This system works whether you start the game or come on as a sub, so it should provide realistic goals for you to hit.
