Do transfers work in player career mode?

Does transfers within Player career work? Not interested in starting a career if you can only stay at one club..?

Yeah. They seem to be working alright. And better than in 18. I'm currently playing a career that I started in Montpellier. After one season requested transfer and accepted an offer from Valencia. One year there, and now my player plays for Barca (having first rejected an offer from Real Madrid).

I'd save the game before requesting for transfer (or before becoming transfer-listed). Unless, of course, you're happy with the possibility that you'll receive no offers, which sometimes apparently happens, at least with very expensive players. (Although you can also try canceling the request and making a new one.)

Of course the transfer system could be much more fancy, with proper contracts, etc. But at least you get to move on to new/better clubs.

Do you recommend going to a low club first?

That would depend on whether you wish to make your own player. If so, you'll have trouble being selected for the team if you play for Barca or PSG or whatever. And of course part of the fun (for me) is to start relatively low and then receive a transfer offer from one of the great clubs.

How low? Depends on what you'll find cool/interesting. I'd try different things. One good option is to start in a pretty good team in a pretty bad league. Like a good Swedish or Danish team, or whatever. Perhaps you'll help them win the league, and then move on to fancier clubs. Or you might first wish to enjoy a top league from the perspective of a not so great team (kinda like what I did with Montpellier, although of course Ligue 1 isn't exactly one of the very top leagues). Many options there!

But I would go low enough so that you get play time, as well as the sweet future prospects!

(Of course if you'd like to play an actual player, things will look different.)

I tend to pick a team where the players for the position that I wish to play are a bit better than my created player. This way I'll instantly/quickly take their spot in the starting 11, and I won't feel like my player is too good for the team.

A couple of more things to consider: Suppose you want to make a player who is good at taking free kicks (this is going to be hard!). In that case, you might wish to begin in a team that doesn't have any very good free kick takers, so that you might get a shot at taking them, at times. (Or you might, if there were more fouls in the game!) So, you might wish to consider those sorts of things, too.

Also, a potentially nice feature of the good teams in the bad leagues: you get to play a euro league already during the first season (if you want to). On the other hand, you might of course wish to save that sort of thing for later (having started in Championship, say).

Also: some of the accomplishments are broken. This is going to make it hard (or at least slower) to make a good crosser, for instance. (Volleys are also partly broken. Gladly they seem to have finally fixed the header-related accomplishments, so that you can make a decent target man.)

Do you play pro clubs?
