With EA Sports FC 24, a new era begins and the career mode is also getting a revamp, yet the popular mode still lacks a feature that the community has been wishing for many years.
Just recently, EA Sports introduced the new career mode of FIFA successor FC 24. While there isn’t a complete overhaul, some new features are included. Among these are:
- “Tactical Visions”, a new addition that brings 7 new tactics such as Tiki-Taka or Gegenpressing into the game.
- An own coaching staff intended to improve the team further.
- Better match preparation, where you can see the weaknesses of the upcoming opponent to exploit them.
- The ability to simply watch matches, including perspective from the coaching zone.
- Player agents, who are meant to assist you during the player career.

However, there is one feature that has been on the fans’ wishlist since the introduction of the FIFA career in 2004 that EA Sports simply does not want to implement: The online career. So a career mode that can be played online with or against friends.
Will we ever get an online career?
Currently, in FIFA 23 and soon in FC 24, you can only take over a club and compete with it against AI-led competitors for league victories, international trophies, or the best talents. Alternatively, you can also do this in the player career with a single player.
This is what the online career could bring: A popular idea from the community is to finally bring the career mode online. You could fill a whole league with online opponents – a kind of virtual Bundesliga, for example, where each player takes one of the 18 starters. However, this could be difficult to implement – especially regarding the organization of a match schedule.
It would also be exciting to start a career with individual friends and play it online together. A mode for 2-3 friends would likely be enough for most fans.
Particularly bitter for the fans: In Madden, the American football game also distributed and developed by EA Sports, there has been an online career in the popular franchise mode for years, which can be played together with friends.
Whether such a mode will also be added to FC in the future remains to be seen. Maybe it will happen next year.
What do you say? Would you finally wish for an online option for the career mode? Feel free to tell us in the comments!
