FIFA 21 Career Mode And Pro Club Saves Won't Transfer To Next-Gen Consoles
If you've purchased FIFA 21 on current-gen consoles and are planning to pump tons of hours into Career Mode, Pro Clubs, Online Seasons, and Co-Op Seasons, be forewarned: your saves won't transfer to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
In response to Eurogamer's questions about the reasons behind this decision, FIFA Executive Producer Aaron McHardy stated that the team chose to focus on cross-generation improvements rather than enabling transferable saves for all of the game modes: "We decided that the time required to make all modes transferable was better used to build new features and improvements across the entire game, along with addressing feedback from our players." McHardy would go on to explain that server-based modes like Volta and Ultimate Team will transfer over instead.
We thought FIFA 21 was entertaining for the most part, but the constant grind often made progression a slog. Check out our review here.
