In FIFA 20, all the news about the career mode is known. Fans have been waiting a long time for this career news. The new career has now been presented with all the information.
This is what career fans have been waiting for: In June, EA Sports announced that there would be new features and changes in the career mode of FIFA 20. Since then, fans have been eagerly waiting to see what the new career has in store for them.
On August 7th, the developers unveiled the secret.
All news from the FIFA 20 career mode presentation
Here are the 3 most important new features at a glance:
- Manager customization
- Moral management
- Dynamic player potential
Customize the look of the manager
This is the new feature: In FIFA 20 career mode, you can create and customize your own manager. You have more options than ever before.
- Change body shape
- Change skin color
- Customize clothing
- Give the manager a nice hairstyle
- Create female managers
For the first time, there are female managers in FIFA:
- You can change your manager’s outfit at any time during the season.

Everything affects morale
This is the new feature: “Every decision has a consequence,” writes EA. How you present yourself at press conferences and whether you rotate players in the team – every decision has a direct impact on team morale and thus on player performance.
You can inspire your team by finding the right words at press conferences before important moments in the season. These are designed to be new and interactive in FIFA 20. This can boost morale in the team. You talk to the press about your team’s goals, preparations for the next match, and the status of players in your team.
But if you leave some players out of the lineup, plan transfers, and offer them low salaries, this can have a negative effect on morale, form, and even the overall rating.
Each player is supposed to have a different personality. They react differently when you praise, motivate, or criticize them. So you need to observe them and find out how to best boost their morale.
There are also direct conversations with players. In one-on-one conversations, you can address and resolve players’ concerns and issues, helping to create a good atmosphere in the team.
EA states that a large amount of data will be collected in the career – how you play, how you respond, how you deal with your players – leading to individual career developments. There will be a tremendous amount of “story lines” possible, depending on how you play, that affect your gaming experience. Thus, you will be treated differently by journalists throughout your career – depending on the match result, goals, opponent, etc.
The potential is dynamic
This is the new feature: In FIFA 20 career mode, you can convert performances on the pitch into potential. The better a talent plays on the field, the higher its potential can grow. In other words, it can achieve a higher overall rating.
However, the potential can also decrease if the talent plays poorly or lacks playing time.
