Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the settings! I agree with a lot of what you said, especially about the fast development rate for youth academy players. In most saves, it's key for them to develop quickly if you want them to make a difference in the first team. Don’t make the same mistake I did by using fixed-rate training plans 😅
To be honest, the possibily of changing so much aspect of career mode made this one really cool. For the first time since years i wanna go back home to work so fast for playing fifa. My tips (but surely everyone knows) is going on free contract player. There are bunch of really good mexican player for "free". U can start a great career with a minor club. I choose Herta Berlin
Hello mate :) you missed the whole AI section under the simulation menu? Definitely worth checking out in regards to play styles, build and how the AI generally perform on the pitch 👍
For all its bugs, i think this has been the best upstep fpr realism in career mode in a long while. I have always hated how fast the gameplay was and now the realism is much better
For some reason injury severity only works when you are actually playing every match I put it on 100 and played one game, got three injuries, and then simmed the rest of the season and not one
Would you say these settings are still accurate after you’ve been able to play the game more since the game was released. I just bought the game and want to know if these settings are applicable. I really rate your videos, therefore I don’t want to search around for other FC-content creators settings and spend my precious time (as a father of two toddlers) on playing a game with settings that might suck.. 😂 Thanks in advance and merry Christmas!! 😊
Question, I disabled transfers completely on the settings and teams are still making huge transfers deals right away.. does disabling it just stop me from making transfers? Otherwise what would be the point of transfer embargo as that’s the same thing? does this mean that disabling transfers is broken and doesn’t work?
Surely that has to be a bug. Why would they make a “non transfer mode” just for the player? You can just decide not to sell anyone you don’t need a mode for that surely 😂😂😂
Tbh I think you should give a Wimbledon rebuild another shot: you got really screwed over with that sacking and I feel like it could make for a great video. There's also my club, Bari. You could make a career mode with it and have to keep a net spend of 0 until you get to the Serie A and accept any transfer offer from Napoli because of the current ownership situation. Also, once you get to the Serie A, because right now a member of Kuwait's royal family seems to be interested in purchasing the club, you may have to scout youngsters from Kuwait and try to develop at least one. You could also try and remake the famous "Bari dei baresi" and only play italian academy youngsters or players from the city of Bari.
Which settings I should use in my career mode? At this point the AI wants to reach the new world record for possession of the ball and not scoring goals. They always playing backwards. How can I solve that?
@@kelvinengland3991 i would not use Development Plans, it is not realistic, because every Player gets 5 weak Star foot. When you do not use them they will develop also more balanced and not that fast :)
Impossible because there's that stupid hidden mechanic of ever increasing pass error with every pass you make without losing possession. If you don't believe me, try stringing 10 passes together in your own half and trying releasing your winger with a through ball. 9/10 times it will fail. Now, do the same thing but instead of 10 passes, only make 2-3 passes before releasing your winger with a through ball, you'll have far more success.
I have to say, I’m not really enjoying the gameplay this year. There are moments I like, especially adjusting the AI behavior, but my players just don’t perform well. Most of the time there are a few players in the opponent’s box, and sometimes, my AI teammate stops a counterattack to drop back, even with offensive tactics. Every attack feels the same - run down the wing, cross, score. It’s boring. Scoring from open play seems impossible due to the lack of passing options. Maybe it’s my formation. Any ideas or suggestions?
I haven't had that issue myself, maybe once or twice but I think it could just be the formation and the player roles you set, as some players don't have a playstyle so may struggle to understand the role. That could be wrong but that's my takeaway from it all, as I have enjoyed the gameplay this year myself.
If you change transfer settings to ignore first window will that be the case for each new season on manger mode or is it literally just going to be ignored for the first window of the first season.
Tactics have been overhauled too much imo, they should have blended the new system with the old system instead of an outright switch. It's very finicky but you can get your players to play better, just have a proper in depth look at what each kind of role actually does. Took me about 20 different tactics setups before I finally figured out what they were actually doing
The defensive AI is very good for both the CPU and the AI, but the attacking AI is rubbish. They don’t make any runs in behind, and none of the CMs will join the attack, they just stand still so you have to force something to happen if you play on simulation mode
Does anyone know is the big clubs in the 5 biggest leagues in Europe CPU like performing every season, like the previous fifas sometimes u got Man City or Liverpool in like 10 places or got Bayern Munich or psg not making it out the group stage of the UCL
The defensive AI for CPU and User is good, but the attacking is trash especially on simulation settings. There’s no pace at all and there’s no forward runs form any player except the striker
Academy players having low diving is not bug,it is actually quite realistic because usually academy goalies have diving as their main weakness,also most of the academy players have low heading,which makes sense too
Lower diving and heading would make sense for youth players as you said, but the game could still benefit from them being higher than they currently are. People are complaining about diving because the stat is so low that it is difficult to train youth GKs to ever be usable in your main squad.
Players feel like they’re stuck on mud the animations are so clunky and there is no fluidity the attacks at all, if anything the whole “tactics” element to the game is worse than fc24 as u can’t adjust a players position now manually
Some of them are so dumb, the change for training plans i tried both settings and both are equally bad. Your players are either constantly lacking sharpness or always fully fit which means you don’t need to rotate or have a big squad. The automated one seems the way to go. Press conferences are broken and the interface is terrible
You talk about what’s the most realistic setup and then you recommend people leaving transfer on loose? Well that’s NOT realistic! It’s realistic that players are not interested in your league or that the club doesn’t want to sell him. That makes it more realistic then being able to play with Birmingham and buy Bellingham and Vinicius
I thought the simulation sliders are broken they was really good first couple days but after awhile of playing they are so bad so many boring games and it’s got nothing to do with the pace of the game as I love the simulation based football but everyone just plays the same for first time in a while I’m actually enjoying the classic gameplay on legend the game are pretty tight

EA are trying to do too much with the game. Very buggy, the tactics nonsense is absolutely crap. Go back to Defensive - Attack. My players doesn’t do what I programmed them to do, the player switch has gotten better worst. The game would make me Select a player that is nowhere near the ball rather than a player that is Simply the closest to make an interception but literally just stand there. I have conceded more than 28 goals within the first 10 minutes of the half. No I’m not shitte the game doesn’t allow me to select what I want. £70 for a game that isn’t fully developed. Does EA think this is acceptable. I don’t play around with the (so called) sliders but had to tweak them. I have been saying this for a good 6 FIFA’s I won’t buy it again but now 1,000,000% this will be my final one. Us fans worldwide should Protest/Boycott EA games. Pathetic service & DEI woke BS!!!!

Hello mate :) you missed the whole AI section under the simulation menu? Definitely worth checking out in regards to play styles, build and how the AI generally perform on the pitch 👍
The wind effects have been very noticeable when set to high, but low and medium seem the same to me. I haven't noticed anything on medium
I have noticed it on medium when taking corners
Wind on high definitely changes the game, long balls are lofty and takes longer to get there or makes you move towards the ball
Not sure why more people don't start with the window closed. It's far more realistic that way...
For all its bugs, i think this has been the best upstep fpr realism in career mode in a long while. I have always hated how fast the gameplay was and now the realism is much better

Faster development in the academy could be nice if it works properly. It could prevent needing to loan every youth player for multiple seasons.
How does it affect the seniors ? Does the overall go down or just get better

I wonder what is more realistick tranfers loose players or stick
Hello, do you use the analog sprint on or off?
If you change transfer settings to ignore first window will that be the case for each new season on manger mode or is it literally just going to be ignored for the first window of the first season.
Can we slow down the build up play for the user team as well, or just the opponent?
Have you tried tactical view where you watch the games cpu vs cpu if you have what sliders did you use
Its not just diving. Its heading thats also bugged and extremely low.
To be fair that's more accurate to real life as young players are actively encouraged to not head the ball now.
@@HallowedOstelogistI think it’s less realistic when a 6’5” CB has 16 heading accuracy but that’s just me
@@SnakeySniper Yeah fair enough, that's a very specific example, I was just speaking in general.
Does transfer embargo affect every single team or just the club you're managing?
I think for development if u using big club its better to make it slow development
And youth either u choose normal or fast
tactical or dynamic for the ai thing?
WOW.🔥.
Faster development for senior does the overall get better or does it go down faster????
What camera settings do you use?
