Will we see MAJOR changes to FIFA 22 Career Mode?

Career Mode is for the FIFA purists but the offline game mode still needs some love ahead of FIFA 22.

FIFA 21 saw some unexpected changes to the mode, but stepping into the suit and tie (or tracksuit) still lacks the same feel as other games.

We look at what could be arriving for FIFA 22.

Latest – Early access

There will likely be several ways to get your FIFA 22 journey up and running pre-release with early access.

The most obvious way is the demo, or if you are lucky enough you may be invited to beta test the game.

Pre-ordering the game also brings some perks which can include an early release.

If you are an Ultimate Team fan, then the FUT Web App is a must as you can take control of your team up to 10 days before release.

Release Date

The release of FIFA 21 was delayed due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but we don’t expect the same to happen with FIFA 22.

We are expecting FIFA 22 to be released in mid-to-late September.

Our first taste of the new game could be the FIFA 22 Demo.

Career Mode

FIFA Career Mode has been neglected in the past as Ultimate Team has taken over, however, EA did make some improvements last season.

The new player development and academy systems are much better, although not the finished product.

It still feels as though the game mode is a bit shallow, with no storylines or back story just yet.

We know it is impossible to replicate the detail of Football Manager, but there is certainly a more immersive option that EA could explore.

Wishlist

Take a look at three things we want changing or to be improved on FIFA 22 Career Mode.

Customisation

One thing we have been wanting for years is the ability to add more levels of customisation.

From kits to new sponsorship deals, more involvement in the running of the club would be a welcome addition to the game.

Being able to update the kits with competition badges and numbers is a must as it just looks silly with the Football League badge in the Champions League final…

We can create kits on Pro Clubs, so why not in other game modes?

Personality

Another key area we want to see improved is the storylines developed through press conferences and player communication.

These are still painfully repetitive, vague and quite often inaccurate.

Your answers seem to have little bearing on the game either, so it does feel like an add-on that has been forgotten about.

Having your personality shine through on Career Mode would give a more immersive feel to the game and create new problems to solve too.

Jump In

It would be great to be able to ‘jump in’ to Career Mode at the current point of the season.

Say your club has got off to a poor start to the season in real life, can you guide them to safety on FIFA 21?

Scenario-type setups could be an exciting new way to start career mode.

This could also lead to a more career-led mode, where you must earn the right to manage the big clubs by earning your stripes elsewhere.

Two clubs leaving franchise?

This is far from confirmed, but it does appear two new Italian clubs will be signing partnership deals with Konami and PES 2022.

This will take PES’ partner clubs in Italy to five, compared to EA’s two – which could jeopardise the licensing of the league itself.
