Gameplay more difficult in Career Mode?

I'm having some issues playing Fifa 14 in career mode. It seems that the game play is different (slower paced and more difficult) in career mode for me than it is in kickoff mode. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I am playing as Swansea City. When I play with them in kickoff mode, the game is fun, the gameplay moves at a good pace (as do my players) and still while challenging, I can enjoy a fun game of soccer.

When using the same team (Swansea) in career mode however, the game is not nearly as fun. My players move so slow like they have ankle weights on. Even the ball moves slower. The gameplay seems more difficult and slower in career mode and is making the game not nearly as fun. Eventhough I am using the same team and have not made any changes to sliders or difficulty level. It seems in career mode that my team is worse and my oponents are better than in kick off mode.

What am I doning wrong or what do I need to change to make the game as enjoyable in career mode as it is in kickoff mode? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Gameplay more difficult in Career Mode?

FIFA plays differently in different modes. I play with player lock on for example and the game plays noticeably different (better and smarter IMO) than when I control all players. Career mode is somewhat unique; there are gameplay values in the game files that adjust career mode difficulty, depending on your opponent. It's probably the biggest reason I haven't bought the game yet and why I'm still playing the demo. None of that game coding is in the demo, so every demo game plays the same, and feels balanced and fair.

Unless you have the PC version, the only thing you can do is adjust sliders with each game, depending on how the gameplay happens to feel. If your team feels unusually sluggish, raise User speed and accel sliders a couple of clicks for example.

Hate to say it, but this has always been more or less how Career Mode worked. It's got a light to moderate amount of scripting to it.

Not scripting per se in that game outcomes are not predetermined. The CPU receives varying degrees of stat boosts, which in turn help it to hit crosses and headers, get to loose balls and avoid tackles with a psychic aptitude that's just... incredibly annoying actually.

Right, that's what I meant.

There's no guarantee you'll lose a particular match but as I described last year in my Unwinnable Career Mode Fixtures thread, there are certifiably certain matches where the AI is given major advantages.

There are product file codes for the PC version that can eliminate a lot of that, I was able to pretty much fix career mode for FIFA 13 anyway.
