I just want the same thing I ask for every year.
Ability to upgrade stadium so that you no longer play in Town Park once you reach the premier league or europe.
Proper competition rules, Football Manager can get this right for 500 leagues in 100 countries, FIFA can't get England right.
The ability to upgrade facilities so that training is not based a random outcome, but on the facilities you currently have.
Same with youth squad, yes 5/5 scouts should be able to find better players, but also Youth players should develop based on the youth facilities of the team.
In fact would like training completely re-vamped, so your training facilities train all players and not just a set 5 you choose to train that week.
It would stop getting a youth player and giving them training every week, so they become an absolute world beater quickly.
More realistic transfers, I should not be able to give Exeter 2 billion and have a Neymar, Ronaldo and Messi up front.
They should develop a FM style system where clubs have a reputation and that only certain players will join certain teams - Also reduce the amount of high profile player transfers. Too often big name players move teams.
I guess my frustrations come from being a massive player of FM, and if I never played FM I wouldn't be so critical of EA.
But SI do a proper job implementing rules and getting things right. EA release the same career mode year after year.
As for gameplay changes, would like to see more CPU fouls and especially bookings.
Stop the super headers on higher skill levels and every team playing TIKA TAKA with 100% accuracy.
Game speed decreased further, so maybe EA could slow it down alot and call it Simulation mode.
Nicky Law should be given a 90+ rating and face put on the front cover.
Auto passing and shooting should be banned from online play.
