Does FIFA 19 career mode end? Yes – after 15 epic seasons guiding your club
As an avid FIFA gamer since the 90s, this is one of the most common questions I‘ve been asked: does FIFA career mode actually end? Well, I‘m here to confirm that yes, even the most epic journey in career mode eventually concludes – fifa 19 cm ends after 15 nail-biting seasons at your dream club.
The finale: Receiving the ultimate retirement email
According to popular FIFA YouTuber TheMasterBucks, who dedicated over 300 hours across 3 years to complete a maxed-out FIFA 19 manager career, you can participate in seasons up to 2033/2034 before receiving a special email titled "Your Retirement".
This email thanks you for your service and commitment over so many years at the helm:
We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours and will make sure that there‘s always a seat reserved for you
After all the last-minute winners, transfer coups, and silverware accumulated – this board email marks the end of your career journey. No more deadline days or contract negotiations in your inbox.
Personally, I think it‘s a beautiful way to round off such an engrossing game mode which allows us to fulfill lifelong dreams of guiding top clubs like Barca, Liverpool or Dortmund to glory.
But FIFA player career is endless!
However, for those who prefer lacing up their boots as a pro rather than patroling the technical area as boss, there is no finish line in sight.
Player career mode allows you to keep playing season after season until you hang up your boots for good. Unlike the manager mode which caps out at 15 seasons, you can smash appearance and goalscoring records to your heart‘s content!
After 600 goals and 30 trophies for Barcelona, you may feel ready to retire your player at a ripe age of 38. But the choice lies fully in your hands!
So how long can each FIFA career mode actually last?
To summarize, here is the max duration for player and manager career modes in FIFA history:
| FIFA Edition | Max Seasons in Manager CM | Max Seasons in Player CM |
|---|---|---|
| FIFA 11-18 | 15 seasons | No limit |
| FIFA 19 | 15 seasons (to 2033/34) | No limit |
| FIFA 20-23 | 15 seasons (to 2036/37) | No limit |
As you can see, manager mode caps out at 15 seasons every year. The end date moved from 2033 in fifa 19 to 2037 in more recent editions.
Meanwhile, budding Neymar‘s and Ronaldos can go on forever!
