As the release of EA FC 26 approaches, fans are buzzing about new features in Career Mode. EA Sports says it has listened to community feedback more closely than ever, delivering one of the most ambitious overhauls in series history.

Exciting Additions This Year

Career Mode now features Manager Live Challenges, bite-sized or long-term scenarios that test decision-making in different contexts. Players might step into a relegation battle with only a handful of matches to play, or chase the thrill of taking a small club to consecutive promotions.

The introduction of Unexpected Events also spices up careers, as managers must deal with random developments—whether injuries, behind-the-scenes issues, or sudden board demands. For the first time, a manager market allows clubs to “sign” new coaches, making managerial careers feel more fluid and realistic.

The Features That Fell Behind

Still, not every aspect received the same attention. Press conferences remain static, with recycled questions and limited impact beyond squad morale. Considering all the drama football provides in real life—from transfer sagas to wage disputes—this feels like a lost opportunity.

Similarly, the coaching staff system is identical to previous years, requiring slow investment in trainers and tactical advisors. Many hoped EA would make this part more interactive or customizable.

Balancing the Good and the Bad

While these areas will frustrate veterans of the mode, the combination of enhanced match physics, sharper AI defending, and unpredictable career twists means EA FC 26 is still shaping up as one of the strongest entries yet.

Fans wanting full managerial immersion may still look elsewhere, but those craving new challenges on the pitch and in the dugout will find plenty to keep them engaged.
