What new features does the FIFA 19 career mode bring? Here are all the official details about the career mode provided by EA Sports.
What’s new in the career mode of FIFA 19? In the summer of 2018, EA Sports confirmed that the focus of FIFA 19 will be on Ultimate Team and the story mode “The Journey 3”. There won’t be any major changes in the career mode, just like in Pro Clubs.
Champions League – and what else? One of the biggest innovations in FIFA 19 is the Champions League license, which is also applied in career mode. But what else does the career mode have to offer?
FIFA 19 upgrades the career presentation
The Champions League is the biggest innovation. The majority of the marketing for FIFA 19 focused on the first-time introduction of the Champions League and Europa League competitions in the FIFA series.
In career mode, you won’t just play the European Cup competitions. The menu in career mode also changes when you qualify for one of the European competitions.
Stadiums with a European touch: In the game, stadiums shine in the Champions League look. Additionally, graphics for player lineups and score displays will be adjusted to match the official presentations.
Emblems for CL winners: Once you win the Champions League, it will be reflected on your club’s jersey: An emblem honoring your victory will adorn your players’ clothing from the next season onwards.
EA Sports calls it the “most authentic career mode of all time.”
League updates: Also, outside of the Champions League, there are new designs: In the Spanish league, you’ll find 16 new stadiums and over 200 new head scans of players. In the Premier League and MLS, match graphics have been adjusted, and the Chinese Super League is completely new.
Breaking News in a new look: The breaking news introduced in FIFA 17 have been revised, and there are many new clips. For example, you can follow tournament draws, victory scenes, or your team disembarking from the team bus in video format.
Also a nice new feature: If you sign a world-class player in career mode, he will be officially introduced in the stadium with confetti and cheering fans.
Gameplay changes only in detail
Ultimate difficulty. What changes in gameplay? It’s now possible to play the career mode at the “Ultimate” difficulty level that you already know from FUT. The new “Dynamic Tactics” will also be used in career mode.
Financial tweaks: A long-requested change: If you save a lot of transfer money in one season, you can finally carry it over into the new season. This is especially worthwhile, if you have already made a lot of money. Overall, the financial dealings of your club have been adjusted a bit more to reality.
Success in tournaments or a rise in the league will now be more recognized by the club management.
Also interesting: Players’ salary demands are now more in line with the league. For example, players demand a lower salary in La Liga than in the Bundesliga or Premier League. Additionally, players consider the salaries of their teammates in salary negotiations – so don’t throw too much money at your top players’ contracts.

Fourth substitution. As in real cup competitions, you now have the option to substitute a fourth player during extra time.
More training options: Additionally, there are plenty of new skill games for training your team in career mode.
Overall, the changes seem to be mostly cosmetic: There isn’t much change in gameplay in career mode.
