FIFA 14 Career Mode gets new, more realistic Global Scouting Network

[Teajunkie]

FIFA 14 producer Sebastian Enrique has shed a little more light on the new FIFA's Career Mode, and in particular its scouting system. I won't pretend to understand a single word of what follows - my approach to football has always been one of fear-scented apathy.
But you? Perhaps you're made of sterner, better-informed stuff. "The Global Scouting Network is our biggest change to career mode this year," Enrique told ESPN.

"In the past, if you want to hire somebody to play for your team, what you do is look for hard numbers. You might only want someone who has an 89 rating or higher. Imagine a coach doing that in real life. It would be impossible. What they do is they look at player traits. You get a scout, and you tell them you want someone who is a speed dribbler who sends good crosses.



"What we're doing this year is introducing this scouting mechanism in career mode. You're no longer searching for players with hard numbers and attributes. You're going to be searching for traits." Apparently "while playing GM outside of the transfer window didn't offer you much to do in FIFA 13, in FIFA 14 the scouting takes place throughout the experience." Eh?

"You can start searching for players early then refine your search, so when you finally do get to that transfer window, you know who you are targeting," Enrique went on. "If you're a fan of the MLS, you probably don't need to scout those players because they are known to you, but if you want a player from Brazil, and you don't know much about him, you're going to need to hire a scout to find out everything you need to know to see if he fits the playing style you're looking for.

"This really changes the way people play career mode. You're giving instructions to the scouts, you're getting preliminary reports, you're refining your searches. ... Now it's really fun to play career mode all season long."



I'm going to very cautiously point you towards our feature on how FIFA 14 improves on FIFA 13. FIFA 14 launches this year for Xbox 360 and the other ones. It's rather likely there's a next generation version in store, but nobody's letting on for the moment.
