Bought Fifa pretty much every year for the best part of 20 years. Have always been a staunch career mode man, never been a fan of ultimate team, tried to play it a couple times but I really don't see the appeal, I prefer the challenge of taking a team from lower league obscurity to champions league success, building teams over multiple seasons and growing and developing players.
Over the years attention has gravitated towards ultimate team which is understandable as it's where they make most of their money, but career mode has become increasingly neglected to the point where it's unplayable now, Fifa games from years ago are now streets ahead of what we have now, the game is so full of bugs and glitches that just make it impossible to play.
Teams don't play their strongest squads, Man city will play a team full of 75 overall players and leave guys like Sterling and Aguero on the bench and things like clubs hoarding players, Barcelona might have 4 Right backs all over 85 overall, but have no natural left backs, Liverpool and Chelsea fighting relegation after a few seasons whereas Arsenal have won the league and Bournemouth are 2nd, the list is endless. It's evident that when they made the game they haven't even bothered to play career mode as if they had they would of seen these things straight away.
Any other Career Moders amongst us have these issues? Thinking about trying Football Manager soon as feel that may be more up my street, what is the new PES games like in terms of a purely career based game mode?
As for Fifa I think I'm probably done with it, it's been a growing problem year after year but I kept buying it in hope they would have fixed it this time but enough is enough.
