# Mobile Sports Manager Games 'EA Sports' Released 'Manager Mode' for FIFA Mobile Players to Enjoy By Colin Smith | Published 2022-08-03 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manager-mode References: [engadget](https://www.engadget.com/fifa-mobile-manager-mode-145659407.html?src=rss) & [ea](https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/fifa/fifa-mobile)  'EA Sports' added a new mode to its 'FIFA Mobile' phone game titled 'Manager Mode.' This new game mode allows players to play the game more like a [sports management simulator](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ambition) than like an active sports game. Players will be able to hone their skills of strategy and direction rather than those of reaction time and hand-eye coordination. It is important to note that the Manager Mode only refers to a change within the gameplay style, and does not change the team management style in the menu. Whereas games like '[Football Manager](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/football-predictions)' allow the player to control finances, negotiate hiring contracts, and trade players with one another, FIFA Mobile's Manager Mode simply changes the in-game experience to be more accessible and tactics-focused.
