EA Sports has just announced the first updates for the Player Career Mode in FC 24. Among the most significant additions is the Player Agents and Objectives Generator. Furthermore, they have announced a partnership with the most prestigious footballers’ award, the Ballon d’Or.
In Player Career we are introducing Player Agents, enabling you to choose your own path and achieve your dream transfer. We’re bringing PlayStyles to Player Career to allow you to create your own unique player – both on and off the pitch, we’re putting your player into the centre of the action with the new Focus Camera and we’re introducing a range of new dynamic moments that include from Open Top Bus Parades and Awards Events. On top of all this, we’re delighted to announce that you can now earn football’s greatest individual honour the Ballon d’Or and become a legend of the game!
Role of the Agent
The Player Agent allows for deep diving into the world of transfers, contracts and the many twists that are going to shape your career across multiple seasons. The Player Agent is going to guide you on your journey, commenting on achievements and losses, and most importantly, helping you shape your future by negotiating with clubs about potential transfers and contracts that shape your career.
Shaping your Path
Negotiations are a crucial part of the Player Agent. Even when you secure another season at your current club, you will always need to think ahead. At the end of each Season your progress is evaluated and it will determine if your Club wants to keep you in their squad or if you will have to look for other opportunities.
You can set up Your Career Path by selecting a target team or look to move to one of the Clubs recommended to you by your Player Agent.
Target Team
A Target Team is a Club that you can set as the next step in a career. Objectives for the Club are tracked across each season and if you successfully complete them, you will be able to join that club. You can only have one Target Team active at any point, but are able to change the target at points across the season.

The Agent will help you evaluate your choice of Target Team and if you aim too high, they will recommend a stepping-stone club that could be a bridge between your current team and the Target Team.
Sometimes teams might not want to sign you, their budget plan might not be flexible enough, they might not need someone for your specific position, or their profile does not meet your style of play. As you develop, teams might change their mind and you may get the opportunity to join them in future seasons.
Recommendations
As the season unfolds, your trusted Agent curates opportunities uniquely tailored to your performance and career progression.
The Agent evaluates your performance throughout the season, offering timely club recommendations that aren’t just transfer opportunities but distinctive challenges. By meeting the Agent’s outlined objectives, you will secure a place at Clubs that could act as stepping-stones to bigger and better things.
These recommendations are designed to elevate your career, guiding you towards superior teams while considering geographical context and wage potential. The Agent also provides recommendations before the end of the season based on your current performance, ensuring you always have options for next season. The Agent even informs you of that team’s Tactical Vision, so you feel comfortable knowing what will be expected of you on the pitch when eventually making the switch.
Objective Generator
Each Club in the game has a set of requirements that need to be met to either join a new club or continue with your current contract at the team you’re playing for – those requirements are objectives that are active through the current Season.
Objectives depend on a few factors including the prestige of the League to which the Club belongs, its Star Rating, and financial well-being. On top of that there is the most important factor, your financial expectations expressed in a weekly wage that you want to earn when you move clubs or are starting the next season at the current club.
Based on these criteria, objectives are created and split into two categories, Mandatory and Optional:
- Mandatory Objectives have to be fulfilled for a Club to even consider working with you. They are the absolute minimum needed for signing a new contract or securing a place at your current club.
- Optional Objectives come into play when you want to earn more. Completing them, alongside the Mandatory Objectives, increases the weekly wage that the club is willing to pay you.
What the Mandatory and Optional Objectives are is defined by the tactical style of the Club and your position. For example, if your Club favours more dynamic fast paced football, expect more Objectives like pass & go’, while for those Clubs which prefer more defensive approach, clean sheets and ball possession will play a more important role.
Always plan ahead
It’s important to always plan ahead, so your career will develop in the way you want. Through the Season, with the help of the Agent, you are able to set your financial requirements towards your Current, Target and Recommended Clubs.
Towards the end of the season the agent will need you to lock down your targets so you won’t be able to edit your wages any further. It’s good to think about your next move before that happens, so you are going to have more options in choosing where you want to play next Season, but also maximise your financial potential.
