If you’re knee-deep in EA Sports FC 24’s Career Mode, you know just how important it is to keep your team’s spirits high. Team morale can make or break your season, so let’s dive into how to keep that vibe positive…

Gametime: Managing Minutes

Alright, first up, your players are itching to hit the field and show what they’ve got. Head over to the Squad Hub to see what each player expects in terms of game time. Make sure you’re not just giving minutes to your main crew but also to those on the bubble. Keep tabs on what they’re hoping for, or you might have some bummed out dudes in the locker room.

Player Conversations

Players will approach you for various reasons, like concerns over their role, transfer status or even the team’s performance. Ignoring them isn’t an option; that’ll just tank their morale. Instead take the time to talk it out. Go for those middle-of-the-road, diplomatic answers when in doubt; they usually keep things balanced and prevent any kind of drama.

Contracts

Contracts play a massive role in keeping your team happy; ensure that each player has a contract that reflects their worth and contribution to the team… If a player’s skill level has noticeably increased, it might be time for a contract renegotiation. Stay ahead of the game by keeping an eye on the “Squad Hub” to know who needs a renewal. The last thing you want is a player becoming disgruntled because they’re on an outdated contract.

Press Conferences

Press conferences have gained significance in FC 24. What you say can have a direct impact on team morale… Try to remain optimistic and protective of your players when answering questions. You can opt to skip these, but if used wisely, press conferences can be another tool in your arsenal for boosting morale.

Club Form: Winning Fixes Everything

Good vibes off the field are one thing, but you’ve also got to deliver on the pitch. If your team is consistently losing that’s going to weigh down morale no matter what you do… You might want to consider adjusting the game’s difficulty or even simulating some matches to get out of a slump. Just be sure you know the ins and outs of how simulating affects your chances.

Training Intensity

While training is essential for player development, overdoing it will have the opposite effect on morale. Make sure to schedule rest days, especially around match days. Tailor your training sessions to meet the players’ position-specific needs, as forcing them through inappropriate drills can sour their mood quickly.

Captaincy

Selecting the right captain can be more important than you might think. Look for players with the Leader trait for this role. Their presence could subtly boost the team’s morale, especially if the captain is actively engaged in club matters…
