PLAYER CAREER FEATURES
The most significant changes are for the game’s Player Career since the goal is to get a more realistic gameplay.
Earning Experience and Leveling Up

XP is important in Player Career, and these are the ways in which you can earn it.
- Match Rewards – After each match you get to earn XP. The amount of XP that you get is based on Match Rating. The Match Rating is measured on the actions on the pitch, goals scored, tackles, successful passes and duels won.
- Training – Complete three training sessions per week and you earn XP. When you finish the drills that are for your specific position, you get more XP. Also, for every training drill that you do for the first time as well as for playing instead of simulating the sessions, you get bonus XP.
- Match Objectives – Complete enhanced objectives will also give you bonus XP rewards.
Player Growth and Skills
All the gathered experience will give you the chance to grow in the game with skills.
In the previous FIFA games, the players level up when playing matches and getting automatic attributes.
In FIFA 22, players would have control over how to assign the attributes.
The game’s Skill Tree has a lot of branching paths. When you choose an Attribute for any of the tracks it will make a huge difference to the abilities and stats of the players.
