In Career Mode, you have direct control over player development through training and development plans.
- Development Plans: Assign specific development plans (e.g., 'Target Man', 'Box-to-Box Midfielder') to players. These plans focus on improving a set of attributes over time.
- Training: Participate in weekly training sessions to boost specific attributes and earn match sharpness. Focus on drills that target areas you want to improve.
- PlayStyle Acquisition: As players develop and meet certain attribute thresholds, they can acquire new PlayStyles, further enhancing their abilities.
- Youth Academy: Scout and sign promising youth players. Nurture them through the academy, and they can become future stars for your club.
Strategic development can turn average players into world-class talents, saving you money on transfers.
