FIFA 21: What does the career mode offer this year?

The career mode has always been very popular, but has been criticized more often in recent years for offering little that is new. Our guide therefore explains how it looks in FIFA 21.

Flexible, more detailed, better: the career mode knows how to convince again in FIFA 21.

In FIFA 21, not everything revolves around the FUT mode. Especially this year, the career mode should pick up more players again.

FIFA 21: Career mode now with match simulation

The innovations of the career mode in FIFA 21 can be summarized as follows:

• The player development goes even more targeted: So you can teach your players new positions if necessary.
• The training schedule has become clearer.
• The bite value provides information about how well your players retrieve their performance.
• The opponent AI has been improved and now feels more realistic.
• The biggest innovation, however, is the match simulation: In the so-called radar, a 2D view of the game, you follow the simulation and can intervene properly yourself at any time. Alternatively, you can also be content with merely doing things like changing tactics.
• Because of the smooth transitions that are possible at any time, the simulation is an extremely practical feature for many situations. For example, if you are leading 5-0 and don't want to play the last 30 minutes, you can simply save your time thanks to simulation.

As a result, the career mode in FIFA 21 mainly attracts with the match simulation, since the other innovations are rather minor improvements compared to it. That doesn't make them worse, but it does show the importance of the radar feature.
