EA FC 26 has shown an interesting new feature for the career mode in the first trailer – and the German Twitch streamer Simon “GamerBrother” Schildgen really likes it. However, for a realistic gaming experience, two changes are needed that have been missing in the mode for years. He even wants to personally address his requests to EA.
Who is this Twitch streamer? GamerBrother is one of the most well-known content creators in Germany. Especially regarding EA FC 25, he ranks among the most watched streamers worldwide according to sullygnome.com.
Currently, his content in FC 25 is focused on the career mode. His career streams as fictional manager Rüdiger Rammel excite many fans each year towards the end of the season. Accordingly, he knows the ins and outs of the mode, as well as its strengths and weaknesses.
On Twitch, the streamer reacted to the first trailer of FC 26 and also discussed the changes for the career mode in the new successor. He has uploaded the highlights and key statements of his reaction in a video on his YouTube channel (Source: youtube.com).
What new career feature does GamerBrother praise? In the career modes for FC 26, there is supposed to be a transfer market for managers. Until now, only players could change clubs, but now coaches can also take over new teams.
GamerBrother expects this to bring more variety to the mode, as each coach since FC 25 has their own tactics. He sees the change as a win for the mode.
Additionally, live challenges have been announced that must be fulfilled in the short or long term throughout the season. He does not consider this new feature particularly noteworthy. No further announcements for the career mode have been made so far.
According to GamerBrother, there are still two much more important things that EA should change, which he wants to clarify personally with the responsible parties.
2 things would make the career mode much more dynamic
What 2 changes should EA make to the career mode? First, GamerBrother demands a more dynamic development potential for players.
So far, the potential of players has been predictable and unfolds the same way every season. Exceptions only occur if one plays with the professionals in their own team, as they might take significant development steps with regular playtime.
The talents with the greatest potential in the career mode for FC 25, who play in other teams, never exceed their predicted peak.
Secondly, he demands accessible statistics of players in other leagues and clubs.
These should also contribute to a more dynamic gaming experience according to GamerBrother’s statements. From time to time, one could observe which players are currently performing and then purchase these top performers for their club to benefit from their current form.
According to GamerBrother, these changes should not pose significant difficulties in times of advancing artificial intelligence.
Can the demands be implemented? GamerBrother follows up with EA
This is how GamerBrother wants to advocate for the changes at EA: In the live stream, the content creator emphasized that as a career player, he knows what fans demand and that he is committed to serving his EA FC community.
Since the beginning of the week, the streamer has been invited by EA Sports to Canada to attend an event for the new FC 26. He hopes to discuss his demands with the responsible staff for the career mode so that his requests at least get noticed.
To what extent his attempts have been successful will certainly be announced by the streamer soon. However, until the respective deep-dive trailers in the coming weeks, GamerBrother will likely remain silent on the EA side.
Fans disappointed with the previous changes
How the community reacts to the announced changes: Under the YouTube video of the streamer, many players express disappointment at the few announced changes for the career mode:
- erzwald9174: “To be honest: the trailer is certainly cool, but if you want a career mode, this game is simply a disappointment year after year.” (via YouTube)
- MFieldHD: “For ten years, we’ve been begging without fun for a new career mode, but apart from the unnecessary negotiations, they have changed nothing.” (via YouTube)
- jayaries21: “What has been shown for the career mode so far is absolutely hyping me 0.0%.” (via YouTube)
EA has presented itself as fan-friendly and receptive to criticism with the first trailer. Therefore, it is possible that further adjustments for the career mode will follow that have not yet been announced.
Whether at least the changes requested by GamerBrother will be included in the career mode remains to be seen. The deep dive trailer for the career mode is expected to be released in early August 2025. By then, fans will find out if further adjustments will be made. Overall, EA Sports has not skimped on innovations in the first trailer for FC 26: “The best trailer in 8 years” – EA FC 26 shows over 20 innovations in just 2 minutes
