Moreover, EA confirmed that there will once again be three different versions of the game to buy, ranging from 'Standard' to 'Ultimate' - and the most expensive and complete now come with a special Career Mode item.
Fans have been clamouring for radical changes to the game mode after EA prioritised Ultimate Team for the last few years and this could be the start as those who pre-order the 'Champions' or 'Ultimate' editions before August 14 will l receive a 'Career Mode homegrown talent'.

Details such as the player's nationality will be linked to the league in which the team plays in and this benefit is applicable to each new save - as well as being carried over to PS5 and Xbox Series X when they are released.
It doesn't sound all that different to the 'Scout a Future Star' feature that has been available in Career Mode through the EA catalogue but here's hoping this is a sign of some serious improvements to a beloved part of the franchise.
