10 Problems With FIFA Games Die-Hard Fans Won't Admit

10. Never Having Noteworthy Updates To 'Career Mode'

The FIFA Career Mode community have long been left feeling rejected by EA. Career Mode had long given fans some of their favourite moments within the series, but following the 2009 cash-cow that was Ultimate Team, the lack of monetisation opportunities available within Career Mode has led to the fan favourite game type to stagnate.

After FIFA 19 failed to introduce anything of note beyond a new background after acquiring the licensing for the official UEFA Champions League and Europa League competitions, FIFA 20 built on this by almost completely breaking the game mode for the first month following launch.

Players discovered numerous glitches and broken game mechanics that led to teams fielding their weakest squads for every game, the biggest teams in the league were getting relegated and players were actually having their manager sacked for offering a player a wage bump that the board deemed too high.

These bugs took a month to patch out of the game, leading many to abandon the title altogether. EA will have to strive to make large improvements in quality for the next release, lest they risk permanently alienating some of their longest-serving fans.
