In the player career mode of EA SPORTS FC 24, new agents are placed on the side in order to be able to play for the dream club at some point. The professional career can be virtually mapped out – like on a drawing board?
Whoever wants to sign for his dream club as a virtual player in the career mode of EA SPORTS FC 24 should strictly stick to a plan. At least that’s what can be gleaned from the latest Deep Dive article. This plan is made by the new agents who accompany the professionals in their careers. According to EA SPORTS, they know which milestones have to be reached in order to reach the goal.
A team to which the professional would like to switch acts as the same. In order to make oneself interesting for this club, tasks must be mastered. In the player career mode, only one “Target Team” can be active at a time – it stands for the next level. The agent will evaluate this self-set target. Is the step still too ambitious? If so, the advisor will recommend another club as a “stepping stone club”.
No guarantee that the “target team” will come knocking
As much as the career path may seem like it was designed on a drawing board thanks to this system, even if all the tasks are fulfilled, there is no guarantee that the “target team” will come knocking. The budget of the desired club may not be sufficient, the player’s position may already be occupied there or the professional’s style of play may not fit the club’s idea. However, this is not set in stone – conditions can change.
The agent always curates other offers that fit the performance and progress. In addition, “the geographical environment and salary opportunities” should be taken into account. In addition, they also educate the player on the “Tactical Vision” of a potential new club. So that it can be adjusted to even before the change. The footballing ideology of the club is also crucial elsewhere.
In combination with the position of the professional, it determines the exact tasks. For example, a defensive orientation may require certain amounts of goal-less games or ball possession. The goals of the clubs, in turn, depend on the prestige of the league, the star rating or the financial situation. In addition, the monetary ideas of the player are of course relevant when transferring or extending.
“Obligatory” and “optional” tasks
Tasks are basically divided into “mandatory” and “optional“. The mandatory objectives must be achieved if the professional is even to be considered for a team. They are the absolute minimum to be able to sign a contract or keep the squad place. The fulfilment of the optional targets, on the other hand, come into play if more salary is to be earned in the future.
Because in the player career mode of EA SPORTS FC 24, the focus is not only on sporting success. The digital professionals should also push their financial limits. The targeted salarymust be set anew after each season – and is then no longer edited for the time being. The bigger the club, the greater the salary possibilities. However, this is also accompanied by increased expectations and more difficult targets to achieve.
If the mandatory targets are not met at a club, there is the option of going out on loan. The temporary move to another team can serve to prove oneself. With an expiring contract, either an extension can be sought – or a temporary existence as a free agent. This, in turn, can result in a bonus with the new employer. Just like in reality.
