Like every year, one of the game modes most appreciated by fans of the series is back in FIFA 23: we are talking about coach career, which will allow you to take charge of a club to manage it on and off the pitch. So let's go and discover all the secrets and news of this mode.
Choose your team well
The first thing to do when starting a new coaching career is to choose the first team. Many players are limited to selecting their favorite team, or one of the top European teams due to the huge budgets available. Both of these solutions, however, may not be the best, as you could risk finding yourself immediately on a team that requires you to reach top-level goals, worth yours exemption. To avoid this potential problem, we advise you to start with lower tier squads, which will indeed have a lower budget, but will allow you to calmly learn the game mechanics and will force you to become familiar with the scouts and the growth of young people.
Another interesting option is to create a club completely from scratch: in this case the entire team, from the squad to the goals, will be generated in a procedural way, based on some parameters that you choose yourself, after which you can customize the stadium, uniforms and team colors at any time. This is a good way to really make the team with which you will face your career your own, but the same advice as in the previous paragraph applies regarding the relationship between budget, squad quality and management expectations.
Learn to manage Lucidity, Physical Form and Morale
In the manager career mode of FIFA 23 there are three different modifiers that can impact the stats and performance of your players: Lucidity, Fitness e Moral.
La Lucidity represents the condition of your players, e it can be improved over time through training and use in matches, while it drops after a period of inactivity: a player with a high Lucidity value will gain punti extra alle proprie statistiche. The Fitness instead it determines the amount of resistance which players will have during matches, e increases and decreases in the opposite way from Lucidity. It is therefore very important to balance your players' training sessions to ensure that all the elements of your squad are always ready to play with good clarity and physical form. To better manage this aspect, you can manually edit workouts, their frequency during the week and the players involved.
Il Moral instead of a player can be increased by using him consistently in the game and treating him well in press conferences and in private conversations with him. Another value of Morale contributes to improve a player's performance, while a low value could compromise them for a certain period of time.
Take advantage of the new transfer analyst
One of the novelties of the FIFA 23 career mode concerns the analysis of transfers: every time you buy or sell a player, the game will give you a vote based on the convenience of the transfer, and will point out the details that could have been improved. For example, the analyst might signal that you could have gotten more money from a sale, saved up on a purchase, or even that you should have had a backup ready in the same role as a newly sold player.
In general, the advice is to pay attention to these indications, as over time they will help you improve your negotiating skills and your mid-term planning during the transfer market sessions.
Learn to use the Observatories and invest in young people
One of the most powerful tools at your disposal are the Scouts for the Primavera team: you will be able to engage up to three of them at the same time, choosing them from a list of names with varied characteristics and abilities. After hiring them, by investing part of your transfer budget, you can then send them around the world in search of young talent, setting the duration of the trip, the destination and the type of footballer you are looking for to your liking. On a regular basis, your scouts will send you reports on some players, which you can view and then decide whether to discard, continue to scout or sign.
By sending observers with skills from 4 digit in su in the right places, you will be able to quickly build a cantera of young talents with high and very high potential, which you can then grow to employ them in your first team or to sell them and make a capital gain. Here are the best countries to find high-potential talent:
- Brazil / Argentina
- Italy / Spain / Portugal
- Central Europe
- Rest of Southern Europe
- Rest of Europe
Every young person has a potential between two values: to get an idea, however vague, of the maximum value that that player can reach, just do the average of the two digits. However, keep in mind, however, that the potential of players can vary over time, increasing or decreasing based on their performance on the field. If, on the other hand, you want a ready-made list of high-potential young players to draw on, here are the best talents in FIFA 23 career mode. Speaking of career mode, we also point out the best real managers to use in FIFA 23.
