EA has fully unveield FIFA 21’s Career Mode – and it looks like Football Manager has been a clear inspiration.
After the disastrous launch of FIFA 20’s Career Mode, EA Sports has added a raft of new features for this year’s version, chief among them a Football Manager-style interactive match sim. With this interactive match sim, you’re able to switch between the standard FIFA match view and this new sim view at will.
This means you can jump in and out of Career Mode matches to take charge of key moments, such as penalties and free kicks. You monitor match data and make changes directly from the sim based on the match stats and your players’ performance levels and stamina. It’s nowhere near as detailed as Football Manager’s match sim, of course, but it certainly looks inspired by it.
