FIFA 16 Career Mode Guide – Be a Player, Be a Coach Tips

Whether you want to be a player or a coach, our FIFA 16 Career mode guide will help you get better.

FIFA 16 Career Mode guide to help you be a ‘Coach’ or be a rising ‘Superstar’.

FIFA 16 Career Mode Tips

While playing the game as a ‘Coach’, it’s your responsibility to manage your entire club and see how your team behaves in the field. The other option lets you start your journey as a young player who will grow into a superstar and may retire as a player or a manager.

This guide covers everything you need to know about FIFA 16 Career Mode.

Getting Started with the Career Mode

Once you’re done with initial decisions such as choosing a club, difficulty level, and other things; you’ll be able to start the Career Mode.

The first tip that I’ve for you is not to neglect the pre-season tournaments. These will allow you to earn some extra cash on the side and try out some new players out in the field.

Merely participating in the tournament will ensure you some rewards, but winning the entire thing will multiply it by several folds.

After you’re done with the tournaments, you should start looking for players. The game will allow you to set up a maximum of 6 scouts who will look for your choice of players.

How to Manage Your Squad

For the Career Mode, we recommend that you get a squad of 22 active players in addition to some young talent which you’ll be able to loan to some other clubs.

By doing so, you will have more than enough players for each position even in the case of an injury. In addition to this, you’ll also be able to get the players on loan.

Once again, Scouts are excellent when it comes to finding the players who will complement your unique playstyle in the game.

One important thing that you need to bear in mind while buying a player is never to make a decision based on a player’s overall rating and look for in-depth stats. A player may lack in one or two attributes that you need the most which will not work in your favor.

Choosing Young Talent

In FIFA 16, there are a couple of ways to find young talent which you’ll be able to choose and grow in the game. The first way is – as mentioned above – using scouts. Although always getting your desired players is not 100% guaranteed, it’s still a good idea.

Another thing that you need to consider is the game’s new training system which allows you to train 5 players at the same time and increase their attributes.

However, you should consider players’ age and shape of a player before putting them to training or it’ll all be a lost cause.

One more thing to bear in mind is higher an attribute, the harder it will be to develop that particular attribute.

In addition to this, EA has also released a list of best Young Players for you to choose and grow in the Career Mode:
