Hey, welcome to another tier list video, today we’re ranking every career mode from FIFA 08 until FIFA 23. I’ll be ranking them based on both gameplay and how good career mode was at the time. Check out the link in the description if you’d like to give it a go yourself!

Because they’re fresher in my mind, we’ll start with FIFA 14, move forward to FIFA 23 and then finish off the early years at the end of the video.

FIFA 14

The first thing you notice with FIFA 14, is how the gameplay feels decades older than FIFA 15. Headers are OP, passing is terrible and players feel really clunky.
Nostalgia makes you remember Career mode better than it actually was, teams would regularly win the league with 60 points, top scorers would hit 15 goals and you could train goalkeepers by 20 overall per season.
Career mode does function well, but the lack of depth and pretty abysmal gameplay means we’ll start off with a low score. Unlucky FIFA 14.

FIFA 15

Weirdly the total opposite of FIFA 14, on FIFA 15 players with high pace and dribbling are amazing, while slow strong players are useless.
This is the first game made for the PS4 / Xbox One era of consoles, it feels and looks a lot more modern than FIFA 14.
Despite being an upgrade, its still not actually a good game.

FIFA 16

Yet again the gameplay does a total switchup, having strong players in your midfield guarantees you’ll win 90% of duels, even if the attacker is stronger.
Dribbling is painfully slow and skill moves become the easiest way to move fast. In particular the McGeady spin is so much quicker than dribbling that its a joke.
The game is actually difficult to beat the AI on, which I think is a massive positive of the game. The AI knows how to use the overpowered parts of gameplay, something modern FIFA AI’s have to cheat to do.

FIFA 17

First game on the frostbite engine, can tell theres a leap in basically every aspect.
The menus are better, but things like training, youth development and transfers are still the exact same. I think FIFA 17 was also the last time that manager objectives actually made sense.
The career mode part of the game isn't groundbreaking, but i’m rating this game as legendary because of how much of a step forwards the gameplay actually was.

FIFA 18

I noticed this pattern while playing every FIFA game. The even numbered games, so 14, 16, 18 and 20 all had similar physicality based gameplay. The odd numbered games were all fast pace dribbling based games. I’m not sure if theres two studios inside EA working on these games, but it would make sense.
The main feature in career mode this year was transfer cutscenes. They’re nice a few times, but they do slow down career mode a lot. Personally I always preferred the transfers taking place over a few days, not being able to fully complete a transfer within a day.

FIFA 19

Off the pitch FIFA 19 is a pretty big improvement, the Champions League, a dozen new Spanish stadiums and adding Ultimate difficulty and we went back to high speed passing and dribbling based gameplay.
I dont know if because its such a recent game, but I didnt feel much nostalgia playing FIFA 19. The teams are interesting, Sancho, Reus and Haaland were really cool to use, but unlike FIFA 14, 15 and 17, i’m not looking forward to playing it again.
I know it’s common to hate FIFA 19’s gameplay, but in career mode it was actually quite enjoyable. I remember hating FUT, but we’re not really factoring that in today.

FIFA 20

I hated this game. I played it for about 30 hours in 2020, which compared to the 600-1000 hours I usually spend playing FIFA just shows how bad the game really was. From a poll i posted a few days ago, over half of the 23,000 votes said this was the worst game of the past 5 years, and i fully see why.
Career mode is basically the exact same as FIFA 19, but gameplay is horrible. There's nothing enjoyable about constant AI cheating, pathetically slow passing, pace, strength and dribbling all not mattering at all and a thousand other issues I have with this game.
Lets just throw it in bottom tier and forget this game ever existed.
