FIFA 19 Career Mode: 8 New Things You Need To Know

5. Budget Changes Are More Realistic

Helping any transfer-happy manager out in FIFA 19 is the enhanced (and more realistic) method of deciding budgets at the beginning of each season.

In prior games, budgets were woefully inconsistent with what was happening on the pitch. Club boards seemed painfully stingy when it came to doling out money to spend, and it made the experience more of a chore than it should've been. That's changed in 19. Now, performances in the bigger competitions actually matter.

For example, win the UEFA Champions League and you can expect a higher transfer budget for the following summer. The same goes if your side happens to be blasting through pre-season targets by Christmas. If Wolves are in the top six by December, then the board should be more willing to part with the necessary cash in January's window that'll help them over the finishing line.

That's how real-life football works anyway, and it's about time FIFA got up to speed. Hearing budgets are more in-step with the real footy market is exciting for anyone who bemoaned EA's penny-pinching approach in FIFA 18.
