FC 26 is adding a lot to the Career Mode. But among all the new things, the most standout and unique addition has to be Unexpected Events, serving up the weirdest of the weird dramas the world of football has ever seen.
What’s more bizarre than one of your lads demanding a move for 'better weather,' then ending up in Manchester? Another eats a dodgy biscuit, ruling him out of the Champions League final.
Here are several similar things that can happen with Unexpected Event in FC 26.
What is an Unexpected Event in FC 26 Career Mode?
Unexpected Events are randomly triggered, unpredictable events in FC 26 Manager Career that can occur at any point. They range from sudden player injuries to surprise transfer offers or even the opportunity to accept a documentary filming deal.
There are two types of Unexpected Events: Emerging Scenarios and Decision Points.
Emerging Scenarios are things that you cannot control as a manager and have to work around them. Like a player getting sick, leaving you no choice but to adjust your lineup. Or there is new top brass in your club, and they tell you their ambition, requiring you to tweak your transfer strategy.
Decision Points, meanwhile, will give you the choice. In the example we mentioned above about the filming request, you can either accept or decline the proposal. Accepting will result in more earnings while also adding pressure to your players, knowing they're now being filmed.
Overall, these are the types of Unexpected Events you can expect in FC 26, per EA:
- Player-Related Events: These are events that affect your squad, how you manage them week to week, and who makes the team sheet for the next game. For example, a key player might pick up an injury during international duty, forcing you to reshuffle your starting eleven for the weekend’s crucial match.
- Club and Board Events: These are a little higher level and can have bigger impacts on the long-term direction of the club. For example, sudden cash injections or the owner meddling in the team, and everything in between.
- Fans and media events: How the fans and the media see your team isn’t always under your control, but how you deal with them is. You might see fans flocking to buy tickets or even a hotel problem the night before a match that leaves players fatigued.
Can you turn off Unexpected Event in FC 26?
Yes, you can disable or change the frequency of Unexpected Events in FC 26. It is completely optional.
When you start your Manager Career, you're given a choice to either turn it off entirely or pick whether you want it to be triggered in low, medium, or high frequency.
