FIFA 23’s career mode hasn’t changed all that much from FIFA 22’s, but it has a few noticeable additions. The “Playable Highlights” feature is the one that has many gamers interested. Users can play between 40 and 60 matches throughout a season in the career mode, which is rather lengthy. Additionally, gamers have the option of playing for multiple seasons with the same team or changing clubs to embark on a new adventure. In any case, the number of matches a gamer gets to play can become too many. Not everyone plays all the matches, hence a lot of users tend to simulate many games and only play the important ones.

EA has come up with a solution that allows users to instead take advantage of the “Playable Highlights” feature. In this option, the gamer can only play the highlights, while the majority of a specific match gets simulated. When there is a chance to score or defensive action is needed, the user gets control of the match. This feature allows the players to breeze through the “so-called” less-important matches by only playing the game highlights. It is a welcome addition to the new version. This feature is available in both manager career and player career modes.
Pre-season tournament: The overall pre-season format has been changed compared to the previous editions. Unlike the earlier versions, the pre-season tournament will take place closer to the opening games of the season. This helps the players to maintain their match sharpness.
‘Real Manager’ gameplay opportunity: This feature allows gamers to play with the avatars of real-life managers. “Upon selecting the manager of your choice, you can customize their outfit and decide on the club they’ll be in charge of,” a statement from ea.com read.
Transfer Analyst: This is one of the most talked about features in the latest version. This feature shows the users how well they have done the transfer business when it comes to buying or selling players. The ratings range from A-F thereby letting the players know where they could have improved while conducting the transfer business.
Cinematics: There are some new cut scenes added to the game. It can be seen in trophy celebrations, joining the club and transfer activities. These features are available in both manager and player career modes. Not to mention that there is an improvement to the overall matchday experience.
Player Career: The player career has also seen good improvements to the game in various departments. The most notable one is the ‘Player Personality feature.’ In FIFA 23, the player’s behaviour and decisions on the pitch will be closely monitored by the Player Personality system. It depends on how well the player connects with his teammates, such as how long he takes to pass the ball to other players in his own team. There are also a lot of improvements in the off-pitch activities.

In the latest version not only have they added additional options to score goals but have also given some much-needed defensive enhancements. Defence is one area where the previous FIFA versions have failed to fully help the users but that is something which has been addressed – to an extent – in FIFA 23. The noticeable feature in defending is Hard Slide Tackles. Besides, the Partial Team Press allows two of the user’s players to closely mark the opponent’s passing options. Furthermore, player switching has also improved considerably with the ‘Adaptive Right Stick Switching.’
