FIFA career mode has taken a back seat in recent years as the EA franchise has grown with the introduction of all new aspects to the game.

FIFA 17 players will remember the confusion when their star striker would express his desires to leave the club despite starting every games and finishing as the league top goalscorer.

Now players will be able to put a virtual arm around their star player and talk them down from leaving the club with FIFA 18's brand new transfer negotiations feature.

Buying players in FIFA 18 will be a little more complicated than users are used to and rather than just agreeing a fee players will now need to meet wage demands, personal terms and even the figure of a release clause!

The above COPA90 video captures a negotiation between a digital Unai Emery and Kylian Mbappe as the Paris Saint-Germain boss attempts to bring the France international to the capital. And we think FIFA fans will agree that it's pretty impressive.

Transfer fees

Very much like before you will have to remain within your budget, but the face-to-face negotiations really bring the world of football tranfers to your living room.

Extra contract terms

You will now be able to entice a player with a more personal experience. Career mode users will be able to pull the strings and offer their target an excessive bonus structure to sweeten the deal. If the club decides the deal is not good enough for them players can stop representatives leaving the room with a second offer to make sure they get the deal over the line.

Personal Terms

As we've seen in the real world, being a millionaire and playing football all over the world isn't enough anymore. As a direct result of this EA have decided that players must now negotiate personal terms before a deal can be complete.

Release clause

As we know, loyalty is a lost cause in the beautiful game which is why career mode users will now be able to negotiate a release clause to protect the club financially.
