Here's some news from EA's Rutter who released some info on this year's Manager Mode/Career Mode..

"When we looked at FIFA 10 and the management experience we decided it needed to be totally rewritten," reveals Rutter. "The hardcore seemed pretty disappointed with last year's mode. So we've ripped out the Be a Pro and Manager Mode features and replaced them with a Career mode.

The match action is even more robust this time around.
"You can now be a player, manager or player-manager and play through 15 seasons. We've made a lot of changes, including a two tier transfer system that involves negotiations with players as well as teams. Team management has been improved, especially player comparisons.

"You can also see the results in leagues other than your own. We want you to feel as though there's a whole world of football going on around you, like other European leagues running simultaneously to yours, so the whole world feels more alive."

According to Rutter, there's a renewed focus on feedback and scheduling. "We've incorporated a ton of feedback from Be a Pro, like taking out the endless reserve games and receiving inappropriate feedback on your performance," he explains.

A new 15 season career mode replaces Be a Pro.
"We had significant problems with our scheduling system in FIFA 10, which meant you had to play multiple games on the same day. We've also improved the transfer system. It's no longer the case where you can get the likes of Ronaldo to sign for Luton."

I've written my first article about Career Mode having spent some time playing it here in the office over the past few days, might be worth a read for those interested in the mode.

Good read Its sounding promising as it always does this time of year

"There is also now a friend's leaderboard so you can see how you stack up against them in terms of stats and earnings throughout your career."

Nice little touch
