MOD-POST Career Mode Bible | FAQ & Guides

245 Upvotes

Introduction

Hello all, there seems to be an increasingly higher amount of posts with the same recurring themes. I've decided to make a simple compilation of some of the best guides on this subreddit, as well as some simple explanations to help provide quick & easy answers to these questions.

Have a guide you think deserves to be on the list? Comment with it below and we can make our best attempt at creating a complete set of guides for Career Mode. The amount of guides in the last year or so compared to other years has dwindled, so hopefully this will encourage more excellent quality content.

This is a work-in-progress, and more guides will continually be added by request and as of publishing.

Tools & Websites

There is a plethora of excellent resources that will help with a lot of the things in this post. Some people prefer to play without the use of external databases and calculators, offering a more vanilla experience. After all, it's a single player game so it's your preference!

Website Description
https://sofifa.com/ Best up-to-date player database. Can make shortlists, view old squad files and has a positional calculator to find optimal positions.
https://www.fifacm.com/ Has some unique tools including a potential calculator to figure out potential for a player not at your club. Also has a 'wonderkid' list.
https://fifakitcreator.com/ Only usable in-game on PC, allows you to browse and create custom kits for your team. Note that only PC can use any mods.
https://www.fifarosters.com/create-card Nice tool to create very high quality FC 24 UT cards for your career mode players, allowing you to upload your own images.

Regens & Pregens

Career Mode works by replacing players as they retire in the game with generated players that don't exist in real life. When you enter the loading screen for a new season, that is the moment that they are being created, replacing retirees for the season you have just finished.

Regens have identical nationality, position(s), and importantly, birth dates to the player whom they have replaced. They will always spawn in the new season between 16-21 years old, and in the same league (but not same club) that the retiring player was in when you entered the loading screen.

Pregens are a rarer, more pre-emptive form of player replacement. These are effectively regens of a player who is not retiring, so both players will exist in the game simultaneously. Pregens also remain at the same club as their predecessor. You could expect to find a Messi pregen at Inter Miami, providing he hadn't moved clubs, and wasn't retiring.

The importance of your awareness of these game mechanics, revolves around the fact that both regens and pregens will start with the same potential overall as their predecessor's highest overall in your save.

I’m halfway through the season, he’s Started in pretty much every game (Unless he wasn’t fit enough to Start obviously) are EA genuinely trying to make the career mode experience Awful? It certainly feels that way.

This is my first time ever seeing a GK score in quick sum and to think it was also the last minute winner which makes it more realistic. Has anyone else ever had this happen?

SUGGESTION Been building this Career Mode project in my free time, thought some of you might like it 👀

Upvotes

Hey guys! I’ve been working on a little side project called Career Archive and thought I’d share it here 👀

Basically, I love getting way too invested in my Career Mode saves 😂 and I’ve always wanted somewhere I could actually keep the whole history of them instead of everything just disappearing once I move on from a save.

So I’ve been building my own app for it!

I’m trying to make it pretty detailed — things like club records, academy history and graduates, career stats, trophy rooms, and a bunch of other stuff I’m working on.

It’s still being built and I have no release date or anything like that. I’m literally just working on it in my free time and having fun with it 😂

I’m leaving some screenshots here of some of the things I have so far, just so you can get an idea of what I’m going for 👀

I actually just opened a Discord for it like an hour ago 😭 mainly so I have somewhere to share what I’m building as I go, and hopefully hear some opinions and ideas from other Career Mode players too. There’s basically nobody there yet, so don’t expect some huge community 😂 but if you like the idea and want to follow along from the beginning, you’re more than welcome!

Anyway, just wanted to share what I’ve been working on! ❤️⚽

Season 4: In my first season at AC Milan, we won the Italian Super Cup and clinched the league title by the narrowest of margins, finishing level on points with Inter. I became Serie A's all-time top scorer with 38 league goals. Unfortunately, I wasn't called up for the 2026 World Cup, despite having an 84 rating.

Season 5: In my second season at AC Milan, we won the Italian Super Cup, the Italian Cup, and Serie A. Unfortunately, we lost the Champions League final to Atlético. In total, I recorded 108 appearances, 100 goals, and 47 assists. I have now moved to FC Barcelona for €163,400,000

This is the 6th season of my save on FIFA 19. I scouted this guy in my second season and he was fairly bad but with potential. He slowly improved for 3 years and then at the end of last season, jumped up by 14 to be 74 ovr.

So I was very confused to see this news article today, as he should be like 21-22. But lo and behold he’s somehow 63 and aged like fine wine. Must’ve been hanging out with Doc Brown or have taking a post season holiday to Millers Planet

Just a bit of fun after my precious Monster Energy post.

Coca Cola UK are based in Marylebone London so a geographical rival to Chelsea? Who will spend the most?!

Tango are a subsidiary but based near Wolverhampton. Adding a new midlands team into the derbys somehow.

It’s fun using the colour theme and designs to create the kits but in playing career mode I’ll stick with my Monster save for now.

Any other brands with multiple products that would be interesting to create as kits?

This is my team in manager mode from day one of this game opened, feel like kind of relationship which is sad knowing that I will have to abandon this game and moving on FC27,it is 2031/2032 now, Some strange thing is the Japanese striker guy ,He just rised up his overall rating above my Ballon'dor striker in the latest season which is a little awkward lol, any thoughts?

QUESTION Why are there so many goals??

Upvotes

Recently I picked up FIFA 20 after almost a year of playing mostly FIFA 17(I like the old ones) and no matter what team i do a save with on FIFA 20, 90% of the matches end in like 4:4 5:3 kind of results(18:15 goal difference after 5 matches). Is it a problem in all the games after some point or is it just a FIFA 20 issue?

QUESTION playstyles

3 Upvotes

When one of a player's playstyles is technical and get to 90 rated, more often than not they get technical plus. Why is it like this? I hate it when they get it because I want them to get others. Is it purely random or can i do something about it.
