The solution is clear: EA Sports FC 26 needs to FC 26 Coins introduce a fully functional historical record system. Every player should have an evolving profile that chronicles each season’s stats — not just goals and assists, but also appearances by competition, injuries, minutes played, and even position changes. A "Career Highlights" section would allow players to revisit major moments like debut matches, cup-winning goals, or international breakthroughs.

For the managerial side, a proper archive is even more crucial. FC 25’s bare-bones stat display doesn’t reflect the real impact a manager can have over time. In FC 26, users should be able to view their club’s finishing position each season, total points, top scorers, transfer budgets, and development of youth talent. This archive would act like a virtual scrapbook — a logbook of all your achievements and missteps alike.

EA could take this further by tying in-game events to historical accomplishments. Imagine commentary lines acknowledging a former championship season, or your board referencing a past miracle escape from relegation. These callbacks would breathe life into long-term saves, turning static numbers into a living football legacy.

Interactive features could also enhance the system. Press conferences might include questions about a player's career trajectory or a club’s decline since its glory days. Fan sentiment could be shaped by your club's long-term history — celebrating records, mourning collapses, and reacting emotionally to a legend’s departure. These touches would turn Career Mode into more than a simulation; they’d make it feel alive.

The UI can remain sleek and simple. A “Career History” tab for each player and club could offer dropdown menus for season-specific stats. Filters would let players sort by competition, role, or milestone. Whether you're a stats-obsessed manager or a casual player who loves a good story, the system should work for everyone.

At the end of the day, Career Mode isn't just about building a winning team — it's about building stories. The teenager you promoted from the academy, the veteran striker you relied on for last-minute winners, the club that rose from mid-table mediocrity to buy FIFA 26 Coins European contention — these arcs matter. But without historical tracking, they fade the moment a season ends.
