When you're on a rotten run in online matches, sometimes it's just a little bit nicer to take some quiet time and play on your own for a while. FIFA combines the joys of Football Manager with its own game and allows you to put your own spin on any playable league team on the game, in that old favourite - Career Mode. Whether you're looking to bring a team up from League Two to the Premier League or build on the foundations of an already successful institution, Career mode is the challenge of perseverance against the 'smart' FIFA AI. Better still, it's a joy when you find and buy a young player in career mode for a bargain fee, only to sell them on for big bucks or watch them blossom into one of the world's best.
