Are you ready to embark on your professional adventure within the EA SPORTS FC dream team?
Discover below a collection of captivating tales shared by our FC team colleagues, unfolding their invaluable contributions to this year's exciting FC 24 game.
Working on FC 24 has been quite a challenge for us this year. We wanted to deliver complex features for both Manager and Player Career Modes, and offer our players a distinctly different experience from the previous FIFA titles.
As a Game Designer, I always welcome the challenge to try and match the user’s expectations with the creative direction we’re following, all in a very short time span. Most of the time is spent creatively solving problems that come up when we introduce new features in the game. We solve these challenges through thorough communication with the rest of the team, and finding the best solution we can safely commit to in the most affordable time span. Sometimes, this also means realizing when there isn’t enough time to deliver a compelling experience to the players and deciding to simplify the features or postpone them to a further iteration of the game. It’s challenging to let go of some of the plans you’ve made at the start of the project, but it’s all part of the game design process.
For FC 24, I redesigned the training system for the Manager's Career to have the players be more involved in developing their team. I’m happy with the direction we’ve taken the feature in, but as with any new element added in, I’m also aware that I still have work to do to bring it up to its full potential. Even now, I’m working on tuning the feature and thinking of ways to improve it based on the precious feedback we’ve received from our players.
As a Game Designer, this is what we do best: take a risk and do something new, and keep an ear to your players to try and bring their expectations alive in the game!

I’ve been working as a Game Designer within the Career Mode team, which is based in Romania, for a while now. FC 24 was a very ambitious project because we have been challenged to deliver an extensive feature set in both Manager Career and Player Career.
The challenge of a game designer is not only to come up with great ideas but also to come up with creative solutions to create a compelling experience in a compact period. Thus, we spend lots of time communicating with various stakeholders such as Designers, Producers, Engineers, and UI Artists to try and find the road to delivering the best implementation. Sometimes, we conclude that a feature needs to have a degree of complexity that we cannot execute with our current resource pool, but in the case of some features, such as Tactical Visions in FC 24 Manager Career, we can focus on the key elements that make the experience fun, streamline the design, and execute a compelling and entertaining experience. Seeing the fruits of this collaborative effort get into the hands of our fans is very exciting.
My proudest accomplishment in FC 24 is that I coordinated the team as we went from concept to completion with the integration of the Ballon d’Or award in Career Mode. It was an outstanding effort from many people to see this through, but the moment I got to reveal the presence of the Ballon d’Or in the game and seeing the public’s reactions gave me literal goosebumps.
