EA Sports has just announced the first updates for the Career Mode in FC 24. Among the most significant additions is the Tactical Vision, which promises to allow us, as coaches, to leave our mark on the team we will manage.

In Manager Career, weโ€™re introducing a Total Management System that brings together two new elements โ€“ Tactical Visions and Coaches. Alongside that, weโ€™ve focussed on Match Preparation, all these combine with the goal of enabling you to manage your club exactly how you want to. Weโ€™re also keen to celebrate your success with a range of new dynamic moments that include Open Top Bus Parades and Awards Events. So letโ€™s jump right in and get into all the details.

Tactical Vision

Managers can be involved in all major club decisions, whether they implement changes themselves or make sure theyโ€™ve got the right staff around them to delegate to. The appointment of a new manager has the potential to completely transform a club and its football philosophy

We strive to allow you to put your stamp on the game, to fuel the identity of your clubs as you take charge of them and ultimately feel in control of the way your team behaves on and off the pitch. Tactical Vision enables you to have easier control over selecting, implementing, and then perfecting the way your team approaches their football. To begin with, you can choose from 7 different tactical real-world and authentic philosophiesโ€”from Park the Bus to Gegenpressingโ€” in terms of how you want your team to play. The available Tactical Visions are:

  • Standard: A balanced approach to the game, focused on maintaining a shape which will help you stay strong defensively while still offering a threat going forward
  • Wing Play: Makes use of the full width of the pitch when in possession, getting the ball out to attacking players close to the touchlines quickly and using overlapping full-backs to add to the threat from those areas
  • Tiki-Taka:ย A possession-based style of play. Comfortable on the ball all over the pitch, your players use short passing and rotations while waiting for opportunities to play in attackers whoโ€™ve run into channels or gaps between opposition defenders.
  • Counter-Attack: Low-risk and a low block are the key to this style of play. Players defend the penalty area and then, once possession is regained, get the ball forward quickly with attackers ready to run into space behind the opponentsโ€™ defensive line.
  • Gegenpressing: This strategy is based around a high press. Your team tries to win back the ball in the opponentโ€™s third wherever possible, using turnovers to create goal-scoring opportunities before the opposition can settle back into shape.
  • Kick & Rush: A style of play built around strength and athleticism enables your players to often bypass the midfield, getting the ball forward quickly to your powerful strikers who can exploit space behind defenders and battle for second balls and knockdowns.
  • Park the Bus: Your team bases its game around solid, uncompromising defending. Youโ€™re always disciplined and well-organised out of possession, usually employing a very low block, throttling opponentsโ€™ attacks before winning the ball and trying to get forward yourselves.

Tactical Visions start from Tactics and Player Instruction presets. Our goal was to enable player expression within each Tactical Vision, so most of the settings are quite flexible. There are, however, defining settings for each Tactical Vision that canโ€™t be modified. For example, you canโ€™t play Counter-Attacking football without setting your Chance Creation to Forward Runs, just like you canโ€™t engage with Wing Play without setting your wingers to be extra wide on the pitch. If you donโ€™t want to use any of the 7 Tactical Visions weโ€™ve set up, you can always create a Custom set up, which is where players who change the defining setting of an existing Tactical Vision will go as well.ย ย 

Any Tactical Vision can be applied to any formation we have in the game. Itโ€™s down to you as the Manager to determine what combination works best for the strengths and weaknesses of your team. Also, Tactical Vision works independently of Game Plans, so you can choose to have one vision to rule them all or assign an individual Tactical Vision to each plan (e.g. Ultra-Defensive to Park The Bus, Defensive to Counter-Attack, Balanced to Tiki-Taka.)

Tactical Vision Scouting

Weโ€™ve also refreshed the Scouting system so you can recruit players that are a natural fit for the tactical system youโ€™re trying to implement. So apart from the existing filters (position, age, remaining contract), weโ€™ve added some new ones:

  • Tactical Fit: Each Tactical Vision is associated with a set of key Attributes for each position on the field. With Tactical Fit, your scouts will report back on players that stand out in those areas of their game.

For example, when looking for a Central Midfielder (CM) that is compatible with Counter-Attack, your scouts will prioritise Agility, Stamina, Dribbling and Acceleration among other Attributes, while a Tiki-Taka CM will need good levels of Ball Control, Short Passing, Positioning, to be a part of the report.

  • Overall Condition: This is a filter that determines the quality of the player you are looking for, ranging from Backup to World Class.
  • PlayStyles:ย Need a player that has a specific PlayStyle in their arsenal? This is where you ask for it.

We remind you that by Pre Order the Ultimate and Standard Edition of EA SPORTS FC 24 on the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One system you can get the version for the equivalent new generation console (Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 system) at no additional cost thanks to the Dual Entitlement service.

EA SPORTS FC 24 is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch and Steam. Keep on following us also through our social Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for other news and Promo.
