Every player, no matter how talented, eventually has to leave the action of the pitch.
Career mode offers you the chance to expand your football career throughout three eras:
player, player manager, and manager. Start as a player and progress through all three eras
or begin your career as either a player manager or manager.

maNagEmENT TipS!
1. Be sure to review your line-up before playing a game! Every player can make a difference to
the outcome.
2. Use all the search options to find the right player to complete your squad, and listen to
feedback that your negotiator provides for a successful signing.
3. Take notice of your assistant coach’s player assessment. His analysis of every player’s
talent lets you know which young players deserve more time on the pitch.
4. Keep an eye on your Player Level/Manager Reputation as you progress through a season.
This determines your standing within the club as well as potential job offers at the end of
the season.

The decisions you make in Career mode can have a direct affect on the morale of your players,
leading to a change in their performance on the pitch. Form and energy also play a big part in
your team’s performance, so view the Squad Report and Squad Ranking screen to stay up to
date on everyone’s key indicators. Players can go beyond good or bad form into extreme good
or bad form if key statistical indicators such as goals, assists, or clean sheets per game also
support their match ratings. The captain you choose affects the organization of your team on
the pitch, so ensure you select a wise head to lead your team once they cross the white line.
